Whatever happens, we're together. Aiden promised. I know. We can do this. Autumn replied, taking a deep breath as she towed her suitcase up the steps and to the door. She stood on her tip-toes, struggling to reach the doorbell but she was just too short. Aiden stepped in and used his power to ring it. Autumn smiled at the space over her head where his form floated, visible only to her eyes."Hello?" Katherine called out questioningly. She was almost sure that there was someone on the step with her. Actually she wondered if there was more than one. But she had been wrong before. She didn't want to not greet someone if they were there. It didn't matter to her if she looked foolish if no one was there.
Autumn stared up at the older girl with bright blue eyes. She clenched her stuffed bunny tighter to her chest. "H-Hello." Autumn replied in her small, quiet way. Who's she? Aiden inquired. I dunno. Probably someone that lives here too. She answered back. "I-I'm Autumn. And this is Aiden. He says hi." Did not. Shush, you need to be more nice to people. He just grumbled in reply, falling silent.Whatever happens, we're together. Aiden promised. I know. We can do this.

"I-I'm Autumn. And this is Aiden. He says hi." Did not. Shush, you need to be more nice to people. He just grumbled in reply, falling silent.Katherine laughed softly. "It is nice to met both of you. My name is Katherin. I am new here. I am hoping that they will let me stay. The benefactor assured me they would. But sometimes people can't handle my disability. She explained.
Cal finally decided to get up. She decided she's go talk to James, even if he never talked back. It was alright though, she didn't mind. In fact, she'd grown quite fond of James. She went to his room and knocked on the door. She didn't expect him to answer, but maybe come to the door. If he didn't, she'd come in on her own.James got up then went over and opened the door. He actually smiled when he saw Cal. She was one of the few people in this place that he actually liked. The others were all either annoying, assholes, or scared of him. He took a step to the side so she could come in.

But sometimes people can't handle my disability. She explained.Curious despite herself, Autumn spoke up again. "Dis...Disa.bilty? What's that?" she asked, struggling to pronounce the word. She asked Aiden in hopes that he might know but he was just as clueless as her. They hadn't heard that word before. The little girl brushed back her bangs as she stared up at the girl. After a few more seconds she spoke. "You...You don't seem to care that you can't see Aiden even though I talk to him." She stated in a confused voice. Most older people would have given her a strange look the moment she mentioned her twin. Though some passed it off as him being an imaginary friend.
"Hey," she said, smiling back. She stepped inside. "So, what're up to? Or are you bored and being lazy as well?" she asked with a light smirk.Cal finally decided to get up.

James simply showed her the drawing he was working on, since he's not supposed to talk and he didn't feel like flipping to another page."Hey," she said, smiling back. She stepped inside.

Although its probably because i dont have my cane. It's suppose to be here with the other things. Not that I have much. But the benefactor sent so things here. Im blind Autum. I cant see your friend. Is your friend invisible? I had an invisible friend when I was you ger. Katherin told her honestly.
James simply showed her the drawing he was working on, since he's not supposed to talk and he didn't feel like flipping to another page."Cool," she noted. She sat down on the edge of the bed. "I hope I'm not annoying you by coming in here. I'm just bored," she told him.

She was now able to see that while Katherin was looking at her she could see that her eyes were not focused. "Can they fix it?" She asked curiously. At the others question Autumn feel silent. "People can't see or hear Aiden like I can. But just because you can't see him doesn't mean he isn't real, he is. Autumn said, afraid Katherin would scold her like every other adult she had meet when she told them about Aiden. The child looked down. "Daddy says I'm a monster because of the things I can do." She said, eyes filling with tears as she sniffled.

She said, eyes filling with tears as she sniffled."No little one. They cant fix it. They tried when I was younger. But there is nothing their can do for it. Katherin explained. She tilted her head. "I understand now. Your friend is someone no one can see. Then you must be special like me. I can control ice and snow. she told the younger girl. She turned her head towards the new voice. "Come join us. We are waiting for someone to answer the do."

At the mention of Katherin's powers Autumn's eyes widened. "Like magic?" She whispered in awe. You're normally not so talkitive. What changed? I dunno. I like Katherin though, she's nice and she didn't try to tell me you weren't real! At the sound of a new voice, Autumn turned, the child giving the new person a shy and timid smile.
James shrugged, then mumbled something, and text appeared in the air. "Don't worry. I'm probably as bored as you are."James simply showed her the drawing he was working on, since he's not supposed to talk and he didn't feel like flipping to another page."Cool," she noted. She sat down on the edge of the bed. "I hope I'm not annoying you by coming in here. I'm just bored," she told him.
