She awoke with a start and judging by the amount of light streaming in through the windows, just in time. It wasn't a smart idea to wake up late in a house stock full of children. One time they had all woken up before her. That's when all hell broke loose. Raven had somehow managed to get his little head stuck between the railings on the stairs. Amanda-not wanting to wake her mother up-took matters into her own hands. It all ended up with Raven, Eva Jade, and Oz with their heads-covered in butter-stuck in the railings which Amanda had frozen with a little bit of magic. Amanda had later explained to her that they had stuck Eva Jade's head between the railings to figure out a way to get Raven's out. Oz, having seen his brother and sister to do so, had taken it upon himself to do the same. Moradin had quietly observed them all and had waken Jewell up just before Amanda had tried freezing the triplet's heads thank gods-when he had gotten hungry.
Rising from bed, she took on her favorite robe and set her unruly black locks in a messy ponytail. Stepping out of her room, the master bedroom of course, she moved only a few steps down the hall to the wing of children?s bedrooms. The twins? rooms were first since they were the youngest and next after that was the room marked as Eva Jade?s by the sign hanging on the door in the shape of an angelfish. She pushed it open enough to peer inside. All the walls save one were done a slate blue with ripples of light green, mixed with glitter, moving horizontally across. The child?s bed was set up against the left wall, the right wall taken up with a mosaic-tiled scene of the ocean floor. The light filtering in through curtains bounced off the little bits of broken mirror used in the mosaic and scattered the light across the room to dance on the ceiling.
Eva Jade's pure white eyes opened instantly-as usual-at the sound of Jewell entering. She murmured something before sitting up, her white hair with wisps of blue defying gravity. Jewell padded over silently to her bedside, kneeling down and smoothing out the little girl's hair. It fell almost to her shoulders now, she noted. She hadn't the heart to get it cut- Cher had always worn her hair long. She spoke softly to Eva Jade as she knelt down and searched for her slippers under the bed, "Good morning my little fishy, what do you think you want for breakfast today?"
Eva rubbed the goopy stuff from her white eyes as Jewell searched for her slippers. So many people assumed that because her eyes were pure white she couldn?t see a thing. However, she looked quite clearly towards her mummy's head as she knelt to look under the bed. It was but a moment before she replied to the usual question with her usual answer: "Pancakes!"
Jewell laughed lightly at their little antics. Sitting back on her feet she handed the manatee shaped slippers she had found to Eva Jade and asked her the next question in their little game. "Would you like any fruit in the pancakes?"
"Boo-berries!" Despite being a big girl of four now, she still insisted on pronouncing the fruit name wrong as her mouth had trouble forming the ?bl? sound.
"Alright, sounds good to me!" She stood and lifted Eva Jade into her arms, she was really getting to big for this but Jewell didn?t mind. With the white-eyed child came her stuffed manatee that traveled with her everywhere. Moving out into the hallway, she left the door to the room open behind her and moved on to the next room.
