It was late in the afternoon when Elliot woke. He lay in bed for a while, just gazing up at the ceiling before eventually rolling from the bed in search of food. He emerged from the bedroom dressed in pajama bottoms and found Cal asleep on the couch.The vampire looked almost peaceful in sleep, all relaxed something that Elliot didn't get to see often. He stood in the doorway watching him for a moment before realizing that he was being kind of creepy. So he moved on, towards the kitchen doing his best to be quiet so as to avoid waking Callan.<br/><br/><br/>He put himself a little snack which he ate before quietly collecting his colored pencils and placing them back in the box. He padded barefoot back through the living room, letting himself out the front door. He remembered that he was supposed to wake Cal, but he needed the sleep and Elliot didn’t plan to wander off. He settled down on the front step with a fresh page in his book. He started with the scene in front of him, the trees that lined the clearing and the path that disappeared into them. He added the creatures as he saw them, though there were certainly fewer at this hour.
