Struggling

[6 months later]

"Are you in any pain when you grow?"

'No.'

"You sure grow quick in just 6 months you already gained 5 years."

'I eat well, sleep well, play and read a lot.'

"Did you start training your swordsmanship again?"

'Yes, Aster said that I do good and still know what I learned before.'

"Hisha, the academy has been excavating the crystals but they found a cave under it and found more of those crystals."

"But some are hard to destroy, do you know how to destroy them?"

'I need color of stone and a book.'

'I have been writing.'

She save him a notebook and everything she remembered of that world she had written down.

She also written down her experience and thing she found in that world.

"Can I barrow it so I can learn about it?"

'Yes.'

"Hisha, your father told me you don't want to go in the to the mansion and you refuse to see family, why is that?"

'Blaze can come.'

'Mansion to comfortable, got my guard down so it's bad.'

"I understand, I'll tell your father about it."

'Father doesn't like Hisha anymore so tell brother.'

"Why do you say that?"

'Father hasn't seen Hisha in many sun rises now.'

"Did your brother tell you why?"

'Busy work.'

"Alright, let me know if you feel unwell or if you have any pain. Pain isn't always on the body some pains can be in the heart."

The doctor went to the mansion and read bits of her journal and uncovered a lot.

He got angry and stormed in to the meeting room.

"Everybody out!"

"What's the meaning of this!?"

"Shut your trap, what Hisha needs right now is her father, she thinks he doesn't love her anymore because she hadn't seen him, because of people like you!"

"Now get the hell out and don't return until Hisha is better."

The family reluctant left the room and mansion grounds.

*sight* "Well I uncover why she is afraid of buildings and when you read her journal you understand what horror she went through."

"Well there is some good news, there is one person outside of this mansion she allows to visit her and that is her cousin Blaze. I think this is a good first step for her."

"I also told her about the cave that was found under the academy, and she seemed pretty calm about it. When I told her they had a hard time destroying certain crystals she said she needed to know what color it is and she needed a book."

"I can tell she is doing great in her rehabilitation, but I can sense she doesn't want to learn to talk or write again."

"Plus she thinks her father doesn't like her any more she told me to go to Aster."

"What she need right now, is her father attention and reassurance."

"Stick to the routine you have with her, let family matter be dealt with by your sister for a while and involve her in territorial matter."

Demon stood up and left the room.

He first went to the kitchen and asked for some sweets.

The cook gave him her favorite snack and favorite drink.

"Hisha?"

She looked up but looked warry of him.

"Can I come in? I brought your favorite snack and drink."

She nodded and sat down in the middle of the greenhouse.

"I'm sorry Hisha, I didn't come for 3 days. But those pests and vermin came by every day and wanted to see you."

"I wanted to protect you so I held them at the mansion and they couldn't go look for you."

'Blaze no pest or vermin, did Blaze come?'

"No, because your aunt didn't know if it was alright and they are waiting for my word that you're alright for a visit."

She now sat on her father's lap munching on her snack.

'Blaze can come, but need secret from other pest and vermin.'

'Will aunt hurt if she not come?'

"No she will understand and what she finds important are your wishes and feelings."

"She knows very well what you need right now."

She was done with her snacks and Demon gave her, her drink.

"The doctor told me he told you about the academy and that they found a cave."

'Yes.'

"Do you want to go there and have a look at the stones that are troubling them?"

'No.'

"Why?"

'Many people.'

"The academy is still closed and the only people there are the people you saw when you returned. There are only 6 of them there currently."

'Yes.'

"So that is not to many?"

'Yes.'

"Then when do you want to go?"

'2 sun rises.'

"Alright, the doctor said you needed a book."

'Yes.'

"Is the book your looking for in our mansion library or the academy?"

'Here.'

"Do you remember the title of the book?"

'No…, color…' She stood up and showed him a leaf. 'This color.'

As the day went on he took her for a walk and played with her.

When it was dinner time Aster came over with Sebastian and Demon told him to get all the green books from the library.

He nodded and he would gather them.

When it was bed time Aster told him to read her journal because what he had read was shocking to him.

"Good night Hisha and I will bring the books tomorrow."

Aster laid down. "Do you still think father doesn't like you?"

'No, father away, protect Hisha.'

"That's right, we know it would be too much if you saw the family. We can't pretend that nothing happened."

"You went through so much, we don't want to overwhelm you."

'Hisha loves brother and brother loves Hisha.'

'Hisha feels safe with brother.'

She snuggled up to him and fell asleep while he stroke her hair.

"You're a very strong girl sister never forget that, I'm glad you know this is your home."

Demon ready her journal and his face was horrified by what it said.

2 years after she was their she thought she found slightly intelligent life.

She was warry so she observed them from a distance and would steer clear from them.

One day she was captured and was taken to what seem to be a hut.

She was given food but after 3 months they took her to a temple, it looked like a mansion.

She immediately understood what was going on.

She witnessed these creatures sacrificing a few of their own and 3 months later it was her turn.

She was so scared. They had bound her hands to an altar, but just before they were going to kill her she managed to get herself free and ran away.

After that she dug most of her sleeping spaces or was sleeping in trees.

Every day she was constantly on guard. At nights she was cold and lonely missing her father and brother.

After 5 years nothing had light up for her, she started to make weapons because even at night in a tree or underground she wasn't safe.

At the 7th year she found a cave with crystals, she accidentally broke one and a creature appeared.

Out of fear it would attack her she killed it.

She described that each different color crystal contained a different creature or monster.

But the most dangerous crystal was the blue one.

These crystals were big and contained big monsters. But without a book she could not test what could destroy this crystal.

She tried varies methods like fire or water, but there were no results.

So she thought that nothing in this world could destroy a crystal but it wasn't to say anything in her home world couldn't.

When she killed a monster there she found a crystal in it and broke it.

When she broke it a baby monster appeared and she killed it.

She was afraid, for her father and brother because they didn't know of this treat.

It also told him that magic could not be used their and that the longer you would stay there the smaller you would get.

Demon stop reading and a few tears fell, his little girl had experienced a lot of near death and she wasn't safe or could find a moment of peace to even sleep.

It was no wonder she thought he didn't like her anymore, just when she finally was home and started to adjust he had to stay at the mansion to keep the relatives away from her, but it was still crucial that he and Aster should stick to her side.

He casted a spell and talked to his sister and she was shocked.

'I know you feel you made the same mistake again but you went to her the moment you heard about it. And sins you brought her peace offering and explained it to her, she wasn't mad at you or ran away.'

"Can I ask you for a favor sister?"

'Sure.'

"Can you rule the family with your iron fist for a while. Hisha needs me the most right now. She feel vulnerable and scared right now."

'Leave it to me.'

'How is her progress?'

"Well speaking and writing is around the level when she was 6. But the doctor told me somewhere deep down she doesn't want to learn it."

"Blaze can come and visit her. But she instantly worried for your feelings."

"I told her you would understand and that her feelings and wishes matter the most to you."

'Damn right you are, let me know when he can come over, that boy would be very happy to hear this news.'

Demon smiled.
