Mount Olympus [5]

Rayah

I shake my head, "N-No, I was to scared to look."

Jace

I nod and take a deep breath, kissing her forehead, "Just relax. I'm here now. You're alright. Do you know what the mark means?"

Rayah

I shake my head again, "No. I don't."

Jace

I nod and glance at it again, "We'll figure it out then."

Rayah

I swallow, "I don't want to sleep alone tonight."

Jace

I take her face in my hands and flash a smile, "Ray, you won't. I'll be right with you. Promise."

Rayah

I nod and cuddle against him.

Jace

I wrap my arms around her and sigh, calming down.

Rayah

I take a deep breath and try to fall back to sleep.

Jace

I slip my shoes off and tuck us in again, holding her close as she tries to fall asleep.

Rayah

I slowly fall asleep in his arms, yawning.

Jace

She falls asleep and I soon follow suit.

Rayah

I wake the next morning but don't open my eyes, tired.

Jace

I wake the next morning to Ella crying. Kissing Rayah's forehead, I open my eyes and stand. I yawn as I walk down to her room, scooping my youngest daughter up and checking on the twins.

Rayah

Ella starts crying and I bury my head in a pillow.
