Woken Up

THIRD PERSON POV:

Octavia whined as she opened her eyes. She was hearing loud noises and it was keeping her up. She tried to ignore it and go back to sleep, but every time she did try that, the sound got louder.

With a pout, Octavia got down from her bed and went to go see what was being so loud. She opened her door and tip toed down the hall until the noises got really close. When she got there, she could see her parents. Stolas and Stella were arguing: that was the thing keeping Octavia awake.

Octavia hid behind the wall as they continued. She didn't understand half the words they were using, but she could recognize Stella's voice and that it was very loud and demanding. Stolas wasn't as loud as she was, but there was some strength in his voice.

Octavia didn't know what to do. She was still tired, but she couldn't go back to sleep with them being so loud. She wanted to say something, but she didn't want them to know that she was there. Then, all of the sudden, Stella raised her arm and slapped Stolas clear across his face. It sent him stumbling back a bit. Octavia was shocked.

"M-Mommy?"

Stella froze. She slowly turned her head and saw her daughter standing there with wide eyes. Stella didn't say anything as she quickly walked away, not ready for Octavia's questions. Octavia paid her no mind as she ran to her father. Stolas groaned as he rubbed his cheek, Stella's hand mark very visable. Stolas looked down at Octavia, frowning as he saw she was tearing up.

"Via? Why are you awake?" He asked as he picked her up. Octavia began to cry as she hugged him, "I'm sorry Daddy! She hit you!" Octavia cried. Stolas smiled and rubbed her back as he walked back to her room, "There's no need for that, Via, I'm okay," Stolas said calmy as he sat down on her bed with her on his lap.

"B-but you got hurt!" Octavia said as she rubbed his cheek. He winced and gently moved her hand away before smiling at her, "I'm okay, I promise. Now what do I have to do to get you back to bed?" Stolas asked and made her giggle, "I'm not tired!" She said. He just smiled and ruffled her hair, "But it's way past your bedtime, it's time for you to go back to sleep," he said as he put her down on her bed and pulled her blanket over her. Octavia then yawned and closed her eyes, curling up under her blanket, "Night night Daddy." Octavia whispered before going to sleep.

Stolas smiled, "Good night Via."
