The Redbird's story.

Cora jumped when someone grabbed her and when she saw the red hair she hit him over the head with her book, thinking it was Blake.

Layla stopped running when she saw Cora.

Sally stopped as well.

Tyler pulled back. "That wasn't nice." He said pouting silghtly.

Cora looked up.

"Tyler?" She asked, confused. Elliiot was smiling.

"Who else? Blake would't have let you go if had hit him, now would he?" Tyler said.

Cora found a small smile making its way to her face. "Nice to see you again," She said, standing up and brushing the dirt off of her dress. She held the book close to her chest. "But Elliot said you were dead?"

"So said Matt and Joie. I have a feeling they will be to sore tomorrow to do anywork." Tyler said.

Mickey didn't hit, she yelled. And when she was really mad she would go on for hours on end. It was enough to give people a headache for days.

Cora simply nodded. She gave him another smile before turning back to the others.

"Well then," She said, not giving Tyler another thought. She /was/ happy he was okay, but she didn't show much emotion, at least not in front of others. "What now?"

Elliot shrugged.

"Uhhhhhh?" tyler looked thoughtful.

"It's getting late." Tyler said. "We sould go home." He said nodding. "Elliot I'll take you home."

Cora nodded. "Alright," She said. "Nice to see you, Tyler," She said with an nod before starting back towards her cottage.
~~~
Elliot nodded. "Okay," she said.

Tyler offered Elliot his hand.

~~
Blake was still sleeping in Cora bed.

Elliot took his hand with a smile.
~~~
Cora walked inside and up the stairs to her shared room, still holding the book close to her.

Blake was still sleeping.

~~
Tyler started off to Elliots home.

Cora walked in and saw Blake on her bed. Without a word she walked over and pushed him roughly off, hearing the satisfying 'thunk' as he hit the wooden floor.
~~~~
Elliot hummed softly as she walked next to Tyler.

Sally waved goodbye to Tyler and Elliot and started to walk back to the cottage.

Layla watched them walk off. "Bye", she called and followed Sally.

Tyler smiled down at Elliot.

~~
That was unusal. Blake always woke up when he fell out of bed, hitting the fool. He was so wornout that he didn't even wake up when Cora pushed him off.

Elliot looked up at Tyler for a moment, grinning widely. She looked up as they came closer to her cottage.
~~~
Cora frowned when Blake didn't move. She nudged him with her foot.

"Hey, Blake," she said.

Sally and Layla came upstairs and into the room they shared with eachother.

Blake twiched slightly but didn't move. He was even to tired to talk in his sleep.

"Blake," Cora repeated, nudging him harder with her foot.
~~~
Elliot looked up as they came to her cottage. She let go of Tyler's hand.

Tyler smiled and waved.

~~
Blake didn't resopnd.

"Blake!" She yelled, practically kicking him now.
~~~
Elliot waved and ran inside. Her mom smiled at her.

Tyler truned and headed home.

~~
Blake opened his eyes for a decond and closed them again. To tired to say aything.

Cora sighed and picked her brother up, placing him on her bed once again. She sighed, not happy.
~~~~
"You're home rather late, Elliot," Her mother said. Elliot nodded.

"Sorry, mama," She said.

"Anything happen?" She asked. Elliot remembered teh market.

She proceeded to tell her mother all about what had happened with the boys at the market and then what had happened back at Tyler's house. Elliot's mother smply nodded.

"I don't want you going to the market with anyone but me anymore," She said.

"But mama-" Elliot began, but she cut her off.

"No buts. Now help me make dinner," She said. Elliot sighed.

"Yes, mama," she said.
