Eden wakes up to a massive headache and aching body. She groans as she sits up and rubs her head hoping to reduce the pain and slowly stands up to get to the kitchen hoping for some orange juice. Once Eden reaches the kitchen she sees both Luther and Allison sitting at the table with a plate and a glass of Orange juice in front of them. She slides into the chair beside Allison and immediately gulps down the glass of orange juice set out for her.

"Must have had a crazy night" Allison states as she glances at her sister who looks like she's in pain

"Don't even get me started" Eden groans

"You reek of alcohol" Luther says with a disapproving glance

"You're only seventeen-" He starts but gets cut off by Edens groan

"Not now Luther" Eden groans before Luther sighs and clears his throat

"Mom? We need to ask you some questions about the night that dad died." Luther says and Eden glances at her brother with confusion

"Do you remember anything?" He asks as their mother turns to them with a frown

"Of course. Sunset, 7:33 pm, moon was waxing crescent, dinner was Cornish hen, wild rice, and carrots." She explains

"No, no, later that night in his bedroom. Did you go and see him? " Luther asks and Eden notices how Allison shifts uncomfortable and how mom hesitates

"I don't recall" she smiles and turns back around to the food before Luther makes a face at Allison

"We're you ever... I don't know, angry with dad?" She asks

"Your father was a good man, a kind man. He was very good to me." Mom smiles

"Yes, but after we all left, it must have been difficult." Allison says

"Oh, there were days, you kids kept me oh so busy and then-" Mom abruptly stops talking

"Mom?" Eden calls out in worry

"What were you going to say? Allison asks

"Eggs are ready!" She suddenly exclaims and all the worry Eden felt drowned the minute eggs and bacon were set in front of her

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" She says

"Thanks mom" Eden thanks her mother who smiles as Eden quickly gobbles down her breakfast before standing up to go to her room passing Fives bedroom. Five glances up when he hears footsteps and sees Eden pass his door. He goes to open his mouth but closes it again and sighs.

Eden closes her bedroom door and into her bathroom where she freshens up before going back into her room and deciding which outfit she wants to wear. She jumps in surprise when somebody barges into her room and quickly tries to find something to cover herself with.
