Chapter 2

Adrian, walking into the kitchen of his home, placed the plate Sigurrós ate from in the sink, along with the glass. He sighed as he realized that he didn't eat as he didn't expect the questions would take so long. He simply decided to just eat his breakfast. When he was finished, he started to wash the plates.

"Hmm, to think that she has powers. Then again, that's probably how she got in my yard and passed out. But then again, that wasn't magic. To anyone else, it may have looked like it, but that looks like a form of Ontokinesis (reality warp) or Essokinesis (reality manipulation), one which is used through conscious thoughts. So, by all means, she doesn't need to say what she wants to do. Whoever the ones who were looking after her knew that, but they told her otherwise. They're either very smart or damn lucky because that could have backfired badly, especially when they put her asleep. She seemed to be very aware, so even though her body was asleep, her consciousness was awake. It could have ended badly for them. I speak from experience," he thought as he finished washing the plates and pots he used.

Adrian sighed. He finished and wiped off his hands with a dish towel, then walked out of the kitchen.

"I should take a shower now, but I should let Sigurrós take one too," he mused out loud.

He then walked into a different room. It was a walk-in closet filled with clothes, shoes, and accessories. It was around 10 ft by 10 ft. Adrian was looking around until he found a box in the corner filled with female children's clothing and picked it up.

"Thank God big sis left her kids' old clothes. They will have to work until I get the time to go shopping or get this mess figured out. I wonder what sis is doing."

With the box in hand, he went to the room he left Sigurrós in. When he entered, instead of Sigurrós resting like he told her, he saw her jumping up and down on the bed. Adrian, who was watching her do this, wasn't even mad that she was doing this. He was more amused than anything, but he was annoyed that she wasn't resting. He really couldn't complain; she was a kid after all. He then called out to her.

"Sigurrós, what are you doing?" he asked, leaning against the door frame with the box in hand.

Sigurrós stopped when she heard his voice and immediately turned to look at him sheepishly while poking her fingers together and said, "Sorry."

As she sat back on the bed, Adrian sighed as he walked over to her. "It's fine now. I think it's about time for you to take a shower, so I found some clothes here. Pick out what you want, then tell me so I can lead you to the bathroom, ok." Adrian said while rubbing her head, then placed the box of clothes on the bed so she could look through them.

Sigurrós looked at him while nodding her head and then started to look through the box so that she could find what she wanted to wear. It took her around a minute or so to find what she wanted. She pulled a sundress out of the box. It was yellow in color with Sakura petals on it.

"I found what I want to wear," Sigurrós said with a smile on her face.

When Adrian saw what she wanted to wear, he was quite surprised. "I haven't seen that dress for a while. I thought sis took it with her," he said under his breath. "Alright, follow me," he said as he got up.

Sigurrós looked at him as she got up to follow him. Adrian, seeing that she was ready to start following him, started to walk out of the room with Sigurrós in tow. As Adrian was walking through the hallway, walking past multiple rooms with Sigurrós behind, looking around him in awe at how big the house is, Adrian stopped at a specific door. When he stopped, Sigurrós walked into him as she stepped back while rubbing her head.

"Ow," she groaned. She looked up at Adrian, pouting. Adrian looked at her with a sheepish expression and apologized as he opened the door to reveal a massive bathroom colored white with gold accents here and there with a separate shower and tub. Adrian led her to the tub, then turned on the water. He told her to remove her gown and get in. She did as she was told, and as the water in the tub reached an appropriate level, he turned it off. Adrian walked over to a glass table that had bath supplies on it—bath bombs, shampoo, conditioner, soaps, etc. Adrian took up a red and blue bath bomb and a bottle of shampoo and conditioner and walked back to Sigurrós in the tub.

"Ok, Sigurrós, I will be washing your hair, ok."

"Ok," she replied in a sing-song tone.

Adrian nodded as he dropped the bath bomb in the water and let it fizz out. Sigurrós looked at the water in awe as the bath bomb fizzled in it. Adrian smiled as he reached over to a rack that had multiple rags on it. He took one and gave it to her as he said, "Here, use this to wash yourself while I wash your hair, ok."

She took it from him, nodded, dipped the rag in the water, and began to wash herself. Adrian, seeing that she started, nodded as he squirted some shampoo into her hair, applied some water, then started to scrub her hair with a content look on his face while humming. When he realized that her hair got a little bit too soapy, he decided to wash out her hair with water, then applied the conditioner to her hair and repeated the same process. When they were finished, he took her out of the tub, took a towel off the same rack the rags were on, and dried her off with it, then wrapped it around her.

"Sigurrós, can you take a seat on the toilet so I can go take a shower, please?" Adrian asked Sigurrós in a soft tone.

Sigurrós looked at him while tilting her head, thinking about it, then responded, "Ok," as she skipped over to the toilet and took a seat.

Adrian nodded his thanks as he walked over to the shower, opened the tinted glass door in front of it, stepped in, closed it, took off his clothes, placed them over the glass, turned on the water, and started to take a shower. Adrian finished his shower five minutes later and stepped out of the shower with a black towel wrapped around him. He looked over to where Sigurrós was and saw that she was passed out. He chuckled while shaking his head and walked over to her, shaking her slightly until she woke up. She yawned while rubbing her eyes as she saw him looking at her with a smile.

"Sigurrós, you can't sleep yet. You have to put on clothes, ok," Adrian said.

"Ok," Sigurrós said in a sleepy tone as she got up off the seat.

Adrian took up the clothes she picked out, removed the towel wrapped around her, put the clothes on her, and picked her up. When he did, she rested her head on his shoulder and passed out again. Then he left the bathroom. Adrian walked back to Sigurrós's room. He opened the door, walked inside, then placed her on the bed and pulled the sheets over her.

"Sleep well, Sigurrós," Adrian said and left the room, not seeing the smile that appeared on Sigurrós's face.
