chapter 2: page 1

Mira enters her room and flops down on her bed. She rubs her eyes exhaustedly.

Her brother suddenly enters the room. He yells "HEY!", startling Mira. "How are ya doing?"

"Hey Varilynn." Mira said lowly. "...Fine."

"Uh, you mean Farlin??" Varilynn laughed at his sister. "I can't believe you forgot to call me by our family name!"

"Shush, idiot. I'm used to calling you Varilynn around your friends," Mira replied. "Anyway. Did you get those groceries like I asked?"

Varilynn held up his arm, a plastic bag full of food and soda cans hung from his arm. "You know it Shelamera! I got everything we needed!"

"Wait- is Bastet with you?" Varilynn asked Mira.

"Uhhh, I think so, she might be under here, lemme check-" Mira answered. She then bent over her bed, finding the cat, not without struggling to pick her up. She managed to pick her up though, and Varilynn takes her in his hand. Bastet purrs hearing his voice.

Varilynn then runs out of Miras bedroom, saying "Byeeeee Shelamera love you!"

Once Varilynn is gone, Mira suddenly goes to a tired and stressed state. She looks down.
