Welcome to Gaia! ::

Crack! Daniel winced at the sound before racing to his sister’s side. “Eliza!” He shouted before looking up to see his father. “Dad!” He called out. He’d never been so happy to see him. “Daniel,” Jasper called out before holding out his hands and muttering an incantation. As the fire went out on the tree, Daniel felt better about the situation despite still freaking out about his sister. “What happened?” He heard his father ask. “I don’t know.” He answered as his father picked Eliza up.

Following his father inside, Daniel was still rather worried. His mother’s sudden reaction to what was going on didn’t help matters either. “Oh my god, Jasper. Is she alright? What happened?” She suddenly panicked despite noticing it to begin with in the first place. “I’m not sure.” He answered her. “Set her down on the couch.” She said trying to remain calm. After Eliza was put in the living room and his mother went to work to take care of her, and his father turned to him. “Daniel. I need you to tell me what happened.” Daniel looked to his sister before shaking his head. “I don’t know. We were fighting and then there was a loud sound and then she just passed out.” He answered. “She lit a tree on fire dad!” He added in a panic.

“It was an accident Daniel. She didn’t mean to do it.” Jasper told him as he attempted to calm his son down. Both parents had never been so grateful to notice what happened when they did. After a moment Daniel looked back to Eliza. Maybe she didn’t want to leave him after all. “Is she going to be okay?” He asked going over to her. “She’s just in shock from everything. She’ll be alright with a little rest.” Alice told him as she placed a cool cloth on her forehead. “I’ll stay with her until she wakes up.” He said deciding right then and there.

Daniel stayed with Eliza for what seemed like forever. He kept an eye on her for their mother when she was out of the room. When she returned, he had fallen asleep next to his sister. Alice smiled before giving him a blanket and leaving them both to rest.

When Eliza awoke, she saw Daniel sleeping there. “Danny…?” She spoke as she slowly began coming to. “Eliza, you’re awake.” He said, hearing her voice gave a sudden feeling of relief. “I’m sorry for shouting at you.” Eliza began to apologize. “No, you don’t need to apologize. It’s my fault. I’m sorry I said all those things. I know you don’t want go away.” Daniel said lowering his gaze. “It’s not your fault, and I know you didn’t mean all those things you said.” She replied with the smallest of smiles.

“I’m not going anywhere, Liza.” Daniel told her. “I’m not either Danny.”
