“Baba!” A little louder this time. Reaching a small hand up to shake his arm. “Baba, wake up!”

Finally! “I saw somefing outsigh my room.” Raising her scimitar so he could see she had it. “But I dunno where it wen.”

Standing behind his leg, she held her scimitar up in case she needed to use it. Whatever it was wouldn’t stand a chance! “It look like a shadow person. Biiiiiiig an’ tall!” In reality, it was nothing more than the shadows playing tricks on her eyes, but to her, it was real.

Looking up at him, she then turned her attention to the hallway. It was dark, but of course baba would keep her safe. “GO AWAY, SHADOW!” She was a little too loud for the middle of the night, waving her scimitar around wildly. “But, baba! What if shadow tries to get me?”

“Ooooh!” She looked back down at it, then up to the glow it emitted around her. Baba always had the coolest stuff. Her esha and exha definitely needed one too, especially her little exha. He was so small. “Can we go show adi?”

She squeezed the orb in her hand, fidgeting with it and moving it from one hand to the other. It already made her feel better. “Okay…can I stay with adi an’ baba?” Despite the little orb, she liked sleeping in the bed between her parents.

“Yay!” She crawled into bed, looking over at her sleeping adi and then back to baba, grinning and putting a finger over her lips in a ‘shhh’ gesture. Settling down under the blanket. “Tank you, baba.” Whispering loudly again. “I keep you an’ adi safe.”

Zzzzz…. Baba is her favorite pillow!

“Yeaaahh!” She just cried harder, hiding her face against adi’s leg. Why did baba leave her? “Baba leff me!”

That earned a grin from her, looking at adi for a second before hiding her face again. “Nuh uh.”

And another grin. “I’m pitty?” She hugged adi tighter. Wait, she thinks she heard baba!
