The Thread of Fate unfolds

PoV Finn/Lilith

It's been about another week and I can finally somewhat follow the meaning of sentences. Something is happening. I didn't understand what's going to happen, but it got something to do with me. My Mom sometimes looks worried at me while talking with Seo. But she always assures her, so it mustn't be something too bad.

Today they are both here in the kitchen with me and seem to be waiting for something. My mom is constantly fidgeting at her seat. I guess I finally can find out what this is all about today. All this uncertainty even made me have constant thoughts about it.

There! A knock on the window captures all out attention. I look towards the window but there is nothing there. If i remember correctly we live on the first floor so something weird is happening.

Seo proceeds to stand up and opens the window. Just after that there is a black blur, and then there is a man suddenly standing the room. Is he some sort of Cosplayer or what? He looks like a Ninja with eight graders Syndrome, considering the way he entered the room.

Black and grey clothes looking somewhat combat attuned, baggy but still fitting Pants with cloth like but still sturdy looking shoes. Those are nice. On top he got a Black tight sweatshirt with small laces and pouches on the belt area and the sides of his abdomen. On his lower Back hangs a slim Shortsword in a sheath and some aerodymatic looking Kunais.

He had short brown hair and a extremely bland looking Face. One you wouldn't give a second glance in a crowd. And had 2 black circular piercings on his earlope that you don't notice immediately upon looking at his face. Overall somewhat lanky but still noticable muscled Body standing at about 1,70m (5'7).

After I was done analysing him, I noticed him staring at me. Our eyes met, he had a curious and analysing look in his eyes and I gave him judging one based on his outfit and method of entry.

Our staredown was interrupted by Seo saying something to him. The three of them then entered into a Conversation seemingly about me, considering the glances they occansionally sent my way. The man was barely saying anything only nodding or shaking his head sometimes.

What meanings I got out of the flow of the conversation was certainly concerning for me. Are they crazy? Wanting to shove me into the responsibility of this obviously weirdo? He literally carries around sharp weapons on his belt. Who sane Person would judge that he would be taking good care of a very young baby like that?

The conversation changed somewhat with mainly Seo talking to the man, that I now found out who's name is Ishi. I notice patterns in the names here, they all sound very japanese like. Would fit considering the dear Spec-ops Chuunibuoy looking Ishi here. This is all looking more and more like some weird stereotype.

After what felt like hours of Seo giving instructions to the furiously scribbling Ishi and Mebuki sometimes butting in, the conversation ended. The said they're goodbyes with and me and Ishi again having an intense staredown, but this time without any kind of malice and each in their own thoughts, that needed to be again interrupted by Seo.

She patted his back hugged him and opened the window for him, in wich he again just disappeared with a black blur. Ok this is seriously turning sketchy now. I definitetly paid attention this time but I couldn't see him move this time either.

Maybe he is really a ninja or something. Ugh. I guess I just have to find out in time. Mebuki and Seo act like nothing special is happening, so I guess this is not really a special occurence.

I didn't sleep that well the following night, I couldn't stop thinking about this supernatural ninja guy. I also got a bad premonition about all this. The way they spoke about me all the time gets me to thinking something is going to happen with me soon.

The next morning my Mom was really nervous, hugging me excessively, fidgeting around and generally acting nervous. It's confirmed, something bad is going to happen.

Right after my second morning meal, there was again a knock on the window. My mom seemed to hesitate a few seconds before standing up and opening the window. Then again Ishi did his ninja thing and teleported into the room. This time he had a small duffle bag hung around his back.

After greeting Mebuki he looked to me shortly and turning back to her. They talked, or rather she talked and he nodded seriously. Some talk happened and Mom got up nervously, I could see small tears threatening to fall out of her beautiful grey eyes.

After picking me up and giving me a long strong hug and kissing my forehead repeatedly, she turned to Ishi who was standing behind her. She hesitated another second, during wich the first tears spilled out of her eyes, and handed me over to Ishi's arms.

What! Wait! Is this really happening now? This was not within my Calculations! How could she give me to this maniac? Wich reason promped her to resort to this betraying action? These arms are definitely not as comfortable as Mom's! I don't want this!

This whole situation suddenly seems very scetchy! Am I some sort of tribute to the big bad Ninjas? No, this can't be. I am panicking!

PoV Mebuki

As I woke up my heart felt heavy. As I made Breakfast the horrible creeping feeling of abandoning my baby came over me. As I was waiting for Ishi to finally show up my Heart felt as it couldn't sink deeper.

I almost cried, but I held myself together. I am all doing all this for her, or am I? Am I just carelessly giving the responsibility of my own child to someone else? Am I the bad one?

I remember Seo's word's. Everything is going to be fine I just have to believe in him. Seo trusts him so I can trust him too, but it still feels so wrong.

Speaking of the Devil, there is a knock on the window, he's here. It's finally time. I still can't help but think of him as the devil that is going to steal my little Lilith from me. I know that I should be thankful for what he's going to do, but I can't seem to get over it.

I open the window to let him in, I don't know if he Bodyflicks inside or if it is just his pure speed. Nether the less impressive. Seo thinks very highly of him, so he could be very powerful. It better be that way, so he can assure Lilith's Safety and sufficiently protect her.

"Hello" I croak out. The moment where I will see Lilith the last time for a long time is near. He just nods back with his usual blank expression. Definitely not the talk active type.

I again hear my head screaming in rage at him in my desperation, that he doesn't take this seriously enough. But he does, that's just how he is Seo said.

I exchange some greetings with him, just to stall for time. I know that it's for naught and I need to do this, but I still hope I wake up any moment next to Lilith and my Husband, and this is all a bad dream.

I turn to look at my little Lilith, her eyes gleaming at uns in interest that is turning into suspicion. She was strangely Intelligent since she was born, definitely not a normal Baby, just like her eyes. I have a feeling that she's going to be someone great someday. Regardless if she decides to be an evil person, or someone to look up to, but surely great.

I walk towards her and give her a strong hug. I have to believe in her and Ishi. Somehow everything will work out, I know it. I turn around and walk toward Ishi.

This is it. There is no turning back past this. I look at Lilith, her eyes seemingly turning from suspicion to realisation and then panic. -I am truly sorry little one but you will be fine! Especially with that smart head of yours, I hope you will understand one day and forgive me!-

I hand her over to Ishi, my eyes spilling tears, my arms feeling like lead, my mind set, set to decision I am sure is the best for my little Baby. Ishi takes her into his arms. My arms falling to my sides. I can hear myself sobbing.

Looking at him he nods at me with conviction in his eyes and turns around. Vanishing with a black blur. I fall to my knees and keep sobbing. Oh how I wish for Kizashi to be here and comfort me.

Oh how I wish for my daughter to be safe!
