Sonata laid awake in her bed, it was 12:00 at night, the household was quiet, which told her that her sisters had also both gone to bed, but of course, once again, for the third straight night in a row, Sonata couldn't sleep. This time she couldn't sleep because Adagio had seen something on her social media about something bad that happened in another country and now she was scared that it might happen where she lived and she didn't want it to. She huddled up into a little ball on her bed and began to cry because she was scared, little did she know that Aria was and surprisingly still up and was just heading up the stairs to head to bed. She heard crying when she walked past Sonata's room and decided to check on her younger sister once she'd changed and had done her night time ritual.

When she was done getting changed and had brushed her teeth and her hair, she put her dirty clothes in her laundry basket and walked down the hall to her younger sister's room. She quietly opened her sister's door and peeked in, she saw her sister huddled in a ball on her bed crying, Aria quietly walked into her sister's room, closed the door behind her and quietly walked over to Sonata's bed to help calm her sister down.

"You ok Nata?" Aria asked as she sat down on her sister's bed next to her sister and looked over at her sister.

"No." Sonata answered as she reached out and wrapped her arms gently around her older and very protective sister's torso.

"What happened?" Aria asked again slowly so Sonata wouldn't get upset because of pressure.

"Nothing happened, I was just thinking." Sonata exclaimed.

"About what?" Aria softly asked, stroking her younger sister's hair to calm her down.

"What Adagio read earlier. It scared me because what if it happens to us." Sonata explained to Aria with a shaky voice, Aria gently rubbed her back and softly kissed her forehead to help her calm down.

"It won't happen to us, it happened all the way across the world." Aria reassured her sister softly, hearing the frightened tone of her voice almost immediately.

"But, it still scared me." Sonata said, hugging her sister more tightly.

"It's ok, I know you're scared. But I'm right here so you're fine." Aria explained softly to her sister as she continued to rub her back, understanding that her sister w as really scared when she tightened her grip around Aria's torso.

"Will you stay here with me tonight Ari?" Sonata asked cautiously.

"Sure. But this is the third night in a row, maybe we should get an appointment with your psychologist and see if she knows how to fix what's going on." Aria explained to her sister.

"No. I'm fine, I'm just really scared every night now for some reason." Sonata exclaimed.

"Ok. I'm not going to argue with you right now but you need to understand that this could become a problem if we don't figure out why you're doing it." Aria told her sister, slowly and softly so she wouldn't scare her.

"Ok Ari, I understand." Sonata said after she compensated what Aria had said to her for a minute.

"Ok now let's go to bed, it's late, I put you to bed two hours ago." Aria said as she pulled Sonata's covers out from under them and put them over top of the two of them.

"I know, I'm sorry Ari." Sonata quietly said, looking down because she thought her sister was getting mad at her.

"Hey, it's ok. I'm not mad. You should've come to get me like last night, I wouldn't have yelled at you." Aria softly explained when she saw her sister's expression.

"I know." Sonata replied without looking up to make eye contact with her sister.

"How about we go to bed ok, I'm here now so you're safe and I won't leave until you say so ok." Aria explained to her sister, slowly leaning over to kiss her cheek.

"Ok." Sonata said, huddling up to Aria and putting her legs in between Aria's and wrapping her arms around Aria's chest and rested her head just underneath Aria's right shoulder.

"Goodnight Nata." Aria whispered, smiling at how cute her sister was when she slept, or was getting ready to go to sleep.

"Night Ari." Sonata whispered back before they drifted into a deep sleep that they remained in for the rest of the night, except for when one of them switched their positions and the other opened one eye to see what they were doing.
