#Chapter 204: Curiosity Killed the Cat…

Edrick

The thought of sending Moana back to work and Ella back to school made me incredibly nervous, but I knew that it needed to be done. It wasn’t fair to keep them both cooped up, and as long as they both had the proper protection, I decided that it would be alright if it would make my girls happy.

On the first day, Moana went to work by herself while I talked to Ella. Ella was becoming increasingly aggravated lately, seeing as how she didn’t remember anything from the night of the kidnapping. Eventually, however, she was bound to find out; surely her little friends at school had heard whisperings of what happened at the warehouse already, and although the details of what really happened weren’t known by the public yet, I didn’t want Ella to learn about it from anyone except for me.

So, while Moana was at work, I sat Ella down to talk to her. She was holding one of her dolls tightly in her hand and brushing its hair furiously, as though she was taking a bit of her frustration out on it.

“Princess, I need to talk to you,” I said gently. “Can you please put your doll down?”

With a huff, Ella threw her doll down on the floor where we sat and folded her arms across her chest. I debated scolding her for that, but decided against it.

“Why can Moana go back to school, but I can’t?” she growled, her little pointed ears and sharp fangs showing as she shifted slightly from her anger. “It’s not fair!”

“I know, Princess,” I replied. “You’ll go back to school tomorrow, but I need to talk to you first about why all of this has been happening lately.”
