Later that night, Jierra was awakened by crying sounds in the night. She peeked over the top edge of the bunk bed and there was Edlia, wide awake, her gray-blue eyes gazing up at Jierra, her new baby in her arms. The baby had a tuft of fuzzy blond hair and beady, blue eyes. It started hitting Edlia. Jierra jumped to the floor, grabbed that fussy baby, and set it on the carpet. It started hitting Jierra. Jierra grabbed Edlia. Edlia began to weep. "That's the worst baby in the universe!" she bawled. The baby screamed and then kept quiet. It wasn't hurt. Just angry. Jierra was madder than a wasp who just lost all it's honey. Next thing Jierra knew, it was morning and she was lying on the carpet next to the baby. She quickly scooched away.

The Dooms of the Dunes Chapter 14
"Now it's nighttime, I'll lead you to your rooms," said the first Dirtier. " By the way, my name is Horace." Jierra had not noticed how much time had passed. Horace led her to her room. It had pink walls and one white king-sized bed and one white bunk-bed. On a bedside table made with a few strong pieces of maple, there were some violet lupines. The bedside table was beside the king-sized bed. On the bed, two pillows rested. One was white with a picture of two little bluebirds kissing, and one was lavender and had hot pink words that said '~My Lady~'. "This is Lady Edlia's bed," said Horace, lifting Edlia up into his huge, muscular arms and gently laying her down onto the bed. He pulled the covers up to her chest. She was already asleep. She did not snore, but they could hear soft breathing sounds coming from her.
