You're scared, aren't you?" Demetri asks, leaning against the wall.
"No. Why would I be?" Heidi answers, lying across the bed, her voice uneasy.
"Yes, u are." Demetri tries again, looking back into the hall, before coming into the room and shutting the door.
"We will get caught!" She growls, before he saunters over, placing a gentle kiss to her forehead.
"So, I love you, u love me, Aro can't deny us that."

"I'm not scared of u Mister." A six year-old Heidi scowls at the man on her window ledge.

"Oh, but u are, I have heard your tears."
"The bombs." She sniffs, padding over to him, watching the Berlin skyline become a blur of oranje and red, fires raged in the city.
" I'll keep u veilig Heidi." Demetri murmurs.

"Ugh, Demetri! Don't do that!" Heidi squeals, as he grabs the spin off the floor, dangling it in front of her face.

"It's funny though!" He laughs, before setting it back down.
"Admit it, you're scared of an itsy, bitsy, spider!" He jeers.
"No I'm bloody well not!" She retorts.
" Pick it up then."
