Heavy footsteps approached her as she failed to think of a hiding place, only for him to burst through her door and grab her by the wrist tightly enough to leave bruises before dragging her down to the kitchen. She did the dishes like she was asked, so why was he- <b>Crash!</b> Pain surged from her shoulder as she realized that she'd been struck with a plate, and more yelling that quickly became far away as Mahina and Morgana quickly came into the room to see what was going on. More yelling that resulted in a confession, and then there was a fight that was long overdue... but there was more blood than she ever wanted to see from injuries that were sustained before Nina broke them apart. What Ava eventually learned was a lie was spoken, and then next thing she knew, they were driving away as she tried to stop Morgie's bleeding...</i><br/><br/>Despite how risky it was to even consider it, it was decided that Avalon would have a small eighteenth birthday party, even if her and Morgana's father was at risk of crashing it today.<br/><br/>Avalon woke up to her mother knocking on her bedroom door, and while a part of her startled awake despite how gentle it was, it still was a shock that they even got away from their father before he could kill Morgana for coming out of the closet. She nearly forgot for a second that she had finally decided to change up her hair and (for the most part) ditch her glasses, but it took some time for her to haphazardly put them on as the older blonde woman then began to enter the room. "Morning, Ava. Did I wake you by chance?" The newly minted eighteen year old shook her head, which inadvertently fixed her glasses as she gazed back at her biological mother that she only met just over a year ago. "Morgana's already downstairs, and if you want breakfast, I didn't get a lot of breakfast food during the last grocery shopping trip, so unfortunately, you might have to make due with cereal again until I can go on another one hopefully in a few days. I still don't know how the two of you managed to survive living with your father for so long..." She then closed the door to allow for her to get ready, and it didn't take long for her to throw together an outfit consisting of a raven lace shirt, a silver modest tank top for the spots of the shirt that were more transparent, and leggings that were the same color as her shirt. Heading over to her vanity (courtesy of her bio mom), she began to apply a very light amount of makeup that made it hard to tell that any was applied in the first place once she removed her glasses, and once she was satisfied with how it turned out (especially after doing makeup for her, Morgana, and Mahina after a few incidents), she then began the painstaking process of putting in her contacts in the least painful manner possible. Once Ava was able to do it without hurting her eyes, she applied the eye drops to help soothe her eyes before deciding to grab her phone and head downstairs.<br/><br/>A long time ago, the luxury of a house that didn't have an air of needing to be on guard was a faraway dream for Avalon, but after Mahina got her and Morgana out of their father's grasp, and she texted the group chat to see who was up and who was still asleep. Instead of directly going to her sister, she opted instead to get breakfast by having a bowl of cereal, though it seemed like the cereal was close to the best by date at this point. It seemed that today was quiet, but at the same time, she had an odd feeling that something was going to happen, though what that event would be was still up in the air for her mentally.<i>Calm down, dad's going to be too busy today to be able to interfere with everything...</i>She chided herself mentally, finding that she was eating too quickly due to the anxiety towards being around her father. Taking the time to calm down and relax, she took a moment to consider<i>why</i>she had the weird birthmark on her arm, shifting a bit so she could see it better. Ava then went back to eating after studying the closed pentagram she had since birth, and kept to that as she tried to wake up a bit more before really starting the day.<br/><br/><b><u>To The Circle (Plus Nina):</u></b><i>Morning everyone, hopefully everything goes right today for the party!</i>
