5 The talk

"I don't even know where to be-" he started to say before he was cut of by an embrace from Serentilia.

"I know where to begin." softly the words played the the air as the embrace stopped time for a brief moment. Serentilia's soft hair covered her tiredness as she looked up towards Andymions face. Her deep, blue eyes stared, as she finally let go of his body.

"Honestly, I do not know where to begin... After all, we just saw eachother not that long ago and so much has been happening with her and I just can't keep telling her lies and i am unable to keep this from her," she stopped for a split second, regaining her breath before carrying on. "She is growing up too fast, she was just my litttle baby and now - nearly sixteen."

" I wish that I was able to see her grow up, but you had a mission to do which would help us before she finally remembers. Seren, you know that this was for the best. Even if she is now behind everyone else. She will catch up, since she is your daughter and everything." Andymion said, glancing towards the unconcious girl. He asked what she was like, what could she do and everything about her.

Smiling, the mother answered proudly that Lil was very talented in so many things and was a very quick learner; at the same time she was very kind, gentle and helpful. She breifly told the different stories of her daughters childhood, learning about the different aspects of the world and how it developed.

"She is just like she always was." she finished. Quickly, she caught his worried look and was about to ask what was the matter however, before she could get a word out he asked her curiously: " Why did she run away then?" Serentilia looked at him -eyes wide open- then looked down at the floor, placing her shaking hands into the firm hands of his. her hands formed fists and tears slowly rolled down her face with two red patches adorning he cheeks. She shook her head before walking over to the closest set of chairs, opposite Lil's bed.

Darkness. Different shades of darkness shifted and slid infront of Lil's eyes. She was unable to open her eyes, her head felt fuzzy and her energy seemed to be draining out of her body. However, she heard voices echoing in her head and around the body. Even though she knew that who ever was talking was far away from her, she heard them perectly clear (it was a gift she had since she was a little girl). _Mum, is that you? who are you talking to? Why do i recognisw that voice?_ she thought toherself quietly. _Wait, why is she talking about that day?!_ She tried to open her tired eyes, but they were glued shut, she felt hopeless.

Serentilia explained the whole story to Andymion, of the mistaked both she and her daughter made and everything that she regreted. When she finally finished, her body shivered, sending a million different emotions up and down her spine. Knowing that she was upset and uncomfortable about the situation, he pressed his arm around her body (pulling her closer to him) and sat quietly, pushing his thoughts out of his mind.

_Stay awake, I need to know more_ Lil thought before her dreams grasped her back into her own mind. Once again she was asleep, laying motionlessly on her bed - like an innocent child from a fairy tail story.

"She is safe now atleast, I can promise you that now she will be safe with us by her side - she will grow up into a beautiful, elegant young lady she was always meant to be." His soothing, congeial voice reminded her of distant, pleasent memories.

They looked at each other. Intensivly staring at eachothers eyes, their souls were as open as a book. Once trembling, Serentilia's body was hypnotised into a calm state by the dominant body of Andymion, and they were facing eachother, pressing each others warmth against themselves. He gently touched her cheek, letting her head move with his motion. Her eyes fluttered close and open, staring deeply into the opposite pair of dreamy eyes. She slowly moved her head towards his, so did Andymion, reading her thoughts with total obediance. Brushing againts eachother, their cheeks touched and both turned a slight shade of bright red. They closed into eachother, their mouths centimeters away from the other.

KNOCK KNOCK. Serentilia quickly pulled away and went towards the door, wondering who was at the door. A tall, young man with black hair stood infront of her. She stood silently. Breaking the awkwardness, she asked him " aren't you the boy that helped carry over my daughter over here from the place we were. Umm ... Attacked?"

"Yes, indeed it was me. My name is William, William Herolion. May I ask you for your name?" his blue eyes demanded an answer with both interest and curiosity.

"Serentilia." An answer reached him.

"Great. I see that you were talking to Andymion about what happened earlier. Anyways, Be is looking for ya, he says that he might know who it was that planned the ambush." William passed the message.

"We will talk after dinner then. Has Sophie prepared the table?" Andymion asked. William nodded. Andymion asked if Serentilia was hungry, she shoom her head and said that even if she was she needed to stay by her daughters bed until she wakes up.

" I will, I do have nothing better to do. Plus, before you ask, I ate before I left so I am not hungry. You two should go." William moved the two confused adults from the room without and argument back.

"Stay until Seren, Serentilia comes back." he said and left with the worried mother to the dinner table.

_I had no choice in this say either way, uuurrrggghhh. I would rather go to sleep._ He thought and sat next th Lil's bed and watched over her as time slowly ticked away.
