Eisa was tired, she was fighting very hard to keep her eyes open. She wanted- no she needed sleep, but she wouldn't tell that to Aelfwynn or Aethelstan. It was early in the morning, so early that the sun was barely out, and the trio were sitting side by side at the table, Eisa in the middle. Stiorra had woken them in the middle of the night to help her move some chairs and other parts of furniture to create a wall in front of the main door.

When Stiorra told the three of them why it was needed, Aelfwynn inched closer to Eisa and softly held onto her arm, a tired and frightened look on her face. Eisa was quick to reassure Aelfwynn that they would be okay, and quick to help Stiorra with creating a barrier. The four of them were all tired, but just too anxious to go back to bed. So, while Stiorra was upstairs watching the front gate, the trio sat at the table in silence.

Aelfwynn lets out another tired sigh and rests her head on Eisa's shoulder. Eisa looks away from the fruit on the table she was losing focus on and looks down at Aelfwynn. Eisa goes to ask Aelfwynn if she would like it if she read to her, but Eisa never gets the chance to; getting interrupted by Stiorra who was rushing down the stairs.  "Go to your spots!"

"What?" Aethelstan voices out in a tired and confused tone as he turns to face the older girl. Stiorra turns to face the worried trio and for a moment she considered lying to them and telling them to go to bed and that everything was fine, but she couldn't do that. "I saw a group of men appear from the tree line and head our way, go hide!"

"What if it's dad?" Eisa asks in a hopeful tone as she gets up slowly from the bench, while Aethelstan and Aelfwynn were quick to their feet; Aelfwynn immediately went over to grab  chirpy's cage. Stiorra grabs the sword that was leaning against the wall and glances back at her sister. "I'm not willing to risk it, go hide."

Stiorra doesn't wait for them to respond before she's already running towards the door. Aelfwynn carefully puts her bird cage under the table and grabs onto Eisa's arm pulling her closer to the table where they have to hide under. Before Eisa joins Aelfwynn under the table she looks to Aethelstan who was walking out of the room. "Will you be alright alone?"

Aethelstan nods and steps out of the room, closing the doors of the dining room and separating Eisa and Aelfwynn from the others. Eisa feels a small tug on the bottom of her dress and hears the faint sound of Aelfwynn whispering her name. Eisa looks at the door one more time before she crawls under the table, internally cursing when she hits her knee against the table. Aelfwynn covers her mouth to muffle her giggles.

Eisa playfully glares at her best friend before copying her position, both of them now laying on their stomach, side by side. It was so quiet, not even chirpy was making a noise. Aelfwynn flinches at the sound of knocking on the main door, and she scoots closer to Eisa.
