Surprisingly for Rapunzel and Eugene, Kiera slept or at least stayed in her room for most of the day, they thought about checking in
on her, a time or two but ultimately decided not to know she probably wanted but most importantly needed her space. Rapunzel
was even more saddened at the fact that Catalina was deeply worried for her sister and best friend to the point where she
refused to even leave her door. So with Rapunzel and Eugene down the hall Kiera slept, her mind finally escaping the harsh reality
of the day. "Aghhhhhhhhh, Kiera", Catalina yelped as her eyes shot open and she jumped into the room concerned, but also ready
to fight, She was greeted by Kiera tears streaming down her face as she howled a mix of no and Catalina over and over again.
"Kiera", Catalina cooed rushing to embrace her sister in the tightest and most gentle hug she had, I'm right here I've got you It's
ok". This went on for about a millisecond before Rapunzel and Eugene burst into the room, Rapunzel armed as always with her
trusty frying pan. "What happened girls"? she asked immediately leaning down and embracing Kiera who buried herself in
Rapunzel's shoulder crying, "c c couldn't pr pr protect her she she's", she couldn't get the words out as another wave of sobs
shook her small body. "Shhhh, Rapunzel soothed, "who are you talking about honey, Catalina's right beside you you're safe with her,
Eugene, and I" "I I I need to get stronger, because of me she almost I'm supposed to protect her" Kiera wailed again this time
finding herself in Catalina's warm embrace. "Kiera, look at me", Catalina pleaded cupping her cheek with tears threatening to fall.
"You saved me today, you did that, not Rapunzel, not Eugene, but you". "B B But you could have, you could have too, don't you
think I was scared outta my mind for you". "I know you think you have to protect me, and pride yourself on doing so it's one of the
things that I love most about you but you don't at least not alone, and in case you haven't noticed I'm not exactly helpless", she
playfully growled flashing her wolf's teeth for just a second. "You're still my baby sister", she teased her grin finally returning. "Ok
you wanna go, bring it fido", Kiera cockily challenged getting nose to nose with her sister. "Ok, break it up you too", Rapunzel
laughed surprising both of them with a tickle attack that sent both into a giggling madness. "Look's like you're feeling better"
Rapunzel cheered, what do you say to a little breakfast"? "Kiera blushed a bit at that, "Well I am pretty hungry". "I'd say so",
Eugene teased wrapping an arm around Rapunzel, and hey just because you're staying here Don't think we see you, girls, as any less
strong or capable, if anything a weak person never would have admitted they needed help, and with that, all four of them set off for
their late breakfast.
