When morning came, Rodius and Elena were woken up by the rays of light that slipped into their rooms through the windows. At first, Elena was confused as she could not recognize her surroundings, but she soon remembered where she was, and she sprung out of bed.
"Dad, wake up!" She rushed out of her room to find that Rodius was already up and about.
"Seems like the little kitty cat overslept." Rodius laughed. Elena pouted, and her fuzzy tail swished behind her. She didn't like being called a cat, especially because she was quite far from it, but she knew that complaining about it was hopeless.
"Freshen up, I suspect someone will come to look for us very soon." Rodius laughed and returned to his room.
The father and daughter quickly freshened up, and just in time, because they soon heard a knock on the front door. Elena was the first to reach the door, and as she pulled it open, she soon found herself frozen in surprise.
"Oh, hello." Leon smiled widely at the flustered girl.
