Novel Bin Chapter 347 - Tired
~~~(Time: 11:08 AM)~~~
I hate my brother sometimes... That hate usually comes around when he does something that makes my life harder. I\'ll love him since he\'s my brother, and he\'s always there for me, but the sibling hate is also there. Today, I\'ve woken up much later in the morning, thanks to him. The walls here are thin, and it\'s easy to hear people.
It shouldn\'t be hard to figure out why I\'m so mad. The other part is cause Jasmine was in the same state I was in. Annoyed and tired, the worst part of it all... I can\'t yell or scream at him cause they did it in the privacy of their own room. If we heard them, that\'s our problem. Not theirs, and as badly as I want to yell at my brother, I can\'t.
He\'s not going to care either way and lying here in bed and staring at the ceiling. I can say I wouldn\'t care either. Jasmine is asleep next to me, trying to get some shut-eye herself. We didn\'t get to go to sleep until after Cera and Sally were done, and that took a while. Way longer than it should have. My eyes close as tiredness overcomes me.
I\'d love to continue sleeping, and I don\'t think there are any issues with me doing so. We\'re not doing anything today, and we\'re just waiting for some of Helda\'s friends to get here. She said she\'s expecting them by tomorrow and that it\'s important that she talk to them alone first. "Hailey... I don\'t want to get up yet..." Jasmine groans out in her sleep, and I sigh.
She\'s talking in her sleep again. She does that a lot. She quiets down, and I\'m left with my need to sleep. My eyes are closed again, and I think about things that could happen to us during this massive undertaking. We could get captured, we could die, and that\'s my greatest fear. Hailey and Sally won\'t be coming back. They\'re not players.
The same can be said about Halda and Melimora and their friends. Putting them at risk doesn\'t seem fair, and a part of me wants no one but Cera and me to handle this. The problem with that is it won\'t be as important to the Elven Kingdom if Elves weren\'t directly involved with the demise of the royal family.
Politics was something that I was never good at, so this could be wrong. My consciousness is beginning to fade a bit. My dreams overtake me, and I\'m no longer thinking about the problems that plague my mind. Instead, I\'m getting the rest that I missed out on with all the noise down the hall. The sleep becomes deeper, and everything I\'m worried about is forgotten.

~~~(Time: 11:30 AM)~~~
My eyes flutter open, and I see the ceiling above me. Sally and I decided to go back to sleep this morning, and I\'m glad she convinced me too. There aren\'t many times I convince myself that sleeping in is a good idea, and others would tell you that there aren\'t many things that would make them get out of bed in the morning if they didn\'t have to go to work or school.
Getting up now seems pretty good, but the only problem with that would mean I\'ll wake up Sally in the process. She\'s still attached to me and isn\'t letting go anytime soon. "Men would die to have this situation, and since I have it, I should be grateful..." Sally stirs and squeezes her body against mine after the whisper that I spoke to the ceiling.
Her head is over my heart, and it\'s a calm beating at the moment. She told me listening to it soothes her and that she wants to listen to it when she\'s going to sleep. My hand slides up her back, and she lets out a small moan as it arches in tandem with my movement. Her eyes slowly open, and she slowly looks up at me.

~~~(Time: 11:34 AM)~~~
The softness of Cera\'s hand sends electric currents up and down my back. My body and heat are rising as he continues. My eyes meet his, and he lets me see a tired grin, and I relax further. My body is reacting in a way that I don\'t want it to right now, and there isn\'t anything I can do to stop it. He has no intention of doing anything with me right now.
Yet I can\'t help wanting him to do something with me... The way he makes me feel when he touches me... It\'s indescribable... He makes it so much better than I ever thought it could be with someone that I love and cherish, and he does the same back to me. "You\'re making me weird, Cera..." He stops his hand, and I look at him again.
My eyes take in his confused look, and he is honestly stumped with my words. Someone so smart can be pretty dumb sometimes. "You make me feel things physically and emotionally that I\'ve never felt before... Things that I\'m becoming addicted to... That I\'m already addicted to..." I don\'t feel shame in saying this since it\'s Cera...
~~~(POV: Helda Vora)~~~
~~~(Time: 11:50 AM)~~~
They\'re sleeping in later than I expected, and that can only be pinned on Cera and Sally. My attention is set on the device in front of me. It\'s an orb. A crystal ball, to be more precise, and it\'s capable of picking up frequencies for within the Elven Kingdom. These frequencies are turned into moving pictures that are used to entertain or talk to the public.
Since we\'re out so far in a remote part of the Elven Kingdoms country, there aren\'t any strong signals. I\'ve been trying to get some the last 2 hours, but nothing is working. "Still not able to get a signal, huh?" Way to point out the obvious, and it\'s making me more frustrated as time goes on. Meli sits beside me, and she takes the crystal ball from me.
She tries to locate a signal herself, but she can try as hard as she wants. She\'s not getting it, though. She spends about 10 seconds working on it, and voices and noises start coming from the crystal ball. That\'s impossible... "Sometimes, you just need the right touch." I snatch the ball from her and check to make sure she didn\'t tamper with anything.
My eyes turn back to her, and she\'s smiling smugly at me. "There is no way that you fixed this piece of shit in 10 seconds while I wasted two fucking hours on it." She raises an eyebrow at my foul language. I rarely curse, but when I do. It means I\'m mad. She chuckles, and she stands up and starts to walk towards the kitchen again.
My attention is put back on the crystal ball as a male elf is talking through it. They inform the public of important things, but it\'s controlled by the royal family. "There are many concerns about the recent massive breach in the wall. Many are saying powerful fire magic is the cause." My heart tightens as he talks. I can\'t help but worry he\'s talking about something that can ruin this.
There is no way that any of that is connected to us. We didn\'t blow a hole in the wall. I\'ve never heard of fire magic strong enough to break through the Elven Border before. It must be a high-grade class with plenty of attack power. That\'s the only explanation I can come up with.
