Elijah had never felt more confused. "What are ee-lec-tron-ix? Mah-cha-nix?" He spoke slowly, trying to copy the way he said the words. He had no idea what they were, what they did.

Leo shook his head a little, “Don’t worry about those things, they’re not important right now.” The elevator dinged and Leo dragged Elijah out, still holding his hand.

Elijah quickly followed Leo, glad to be put of the contraption he called an "elevator." He held onto his hand tightly.

It was a short walk down a hall until Leo stopped in front of a cream coloured door with the number 224 on the front. He pulled a key out of his pocket and unlocked the door, leading them inside before he shut it behind them, “Make yourself at home.” He placed his beanie on a small table near by and slipped off his shoes.

Elijah stood there. He wasn't sure what he was supposed to do. There was little in the tiny home that reminded him of his home. Couch, tables, chairs yes, but not much else. It was all so strange.

Leo headed into the living room, quickly cleaning up some uni things. There was a small table on the back with what looked to be a microscope and some other scientific contraptions, too.

Elijah slowly took a few steps in Leo's direction but jumoed back at the weird things on a table. He bit his bottom lip.

Leo looked over his shoulder and cracked a smile, “Not afraid of something that can’t move, are you?” He teased.

Elijah jumped at the sound of his voice. He shrugged his shoulders and hugged himself. If he was home, there would be a raging fire. A servant would take his coat from him, a bath would be ready for him. A wonderous feast would be ready by the time he got out.

Leo sighed softly, tuning away from the table and towards Elijah, “Look, I know this is all knew to you and if you want anything I’ll try and help out, okay? But… you need to talk to me if I’m going to help.”

Elijah looked up at Leo, eyes wide. "I dont know where I am or why I'm here. Last thing i remever was getting cursed by a witch and then I woke up here. Nothing is familiar. Nothing is like home. I just want to go home." Elijah had never broken before, had never cried since he was a child, but he cried then in that moment.

Leo’s heart broke a little for Elijah. His first thought had been that witches done exist but then again, he had just turned from a statue to a person. He took a small step forwards, “Can I hug you, Elijah?”

Elijah whimpered but nodded his head. He couldn't remember the last time he had been hugged. Maybe when he was five…he didn't know.

Leo stepped the rest of the way and wrapped his arms around Elijah, “I’ll help you, you’re not alone.”

Elijah hesitantly wrapped his arms around the strange boy. Amd after a moment, he hid his face in his neck. He had quit crying, though he still felt like it.

Leo rubbed soothing circles across Elijah’s back, holding him for as long as he needed. He didn’t say anything, but he didn’t have too.

After taking several deep breaths, Elijah pulled out of his embrace. He wiped the remianing tears off his face. "Why did you bring me here?" He asked.

“Well, you don’t have anywhere else to go. I have a spare room and can lend you some clothes. I doubt anyone else will help you,” Leo shrugged, slipping a hand into his pocket, “You can stay with me for however long you need to.”

"I don't have anywhere to go. I don't think I can go home." It was obvious that whereever he was, it wasn't the same year the had come from. "What's the date?" He asked.

“May ninth, twenty nineteen.” Leo bit his lip and shuffled his feet nervously. He had no reason to be worried… yet he was.

Elijah's eyes widened. Over two hundred years, that's how long he had been stuck in stone. His breathibg started increasing, his heart racing. Gone, they were all gone. He had hoped it wouldn't be true. He had hoped this was all a dream and he would wake up in his bed back at home. His knees gave out on him and he sat on the floor in a ball.

( sad boi :( )

(Nuuuh)

Leo quickly crouch down beside him. He felt so bad. He slowly touched Elijah’s shoulder gently, “I’m sorry.” He said quietly, shuffling a little closer to the other. He heard his phone ding but he didn’t answer it, Elijah was his main priority right now.

Elijah just buried his in his knees, trying to block out the world. Why had he been punished so cruely? He didn't deserve this, no one did. So why was he the one punished in such a way. When he heard a strange ding, he jumped, his head raisin and looking around for the source.

Leo pulled out his phone, quickly replying to the text before he slipped his phone back into his pocket, “Hey, do you want to have a bath or a shower? I can order some food and we can just… relax and help you calm down.”

Elijah but his lip. "A bath would be nice." Only problem was that he didn't know how to make a bath. It had always been done for him. Everything had always been done for him. But he didn't voice that out loud. He could figure it out. How ard could it be?
