Aiden walked slowly through the crowds that were filled with people hugging and crying tears of joy. It had been almost a month now and to some extent he had almost lost hope that he would ever see any of these people again. He smiled softly as he passed by Estel who crying and hugging her father, she had mentioned to him how closer she was to her father than her mother, and after the incident in the woods, Aiden could see why.
His heart was thumping in his chest as he inched closer the the two large tents that were set up for them and saw that a lamp was lit in one of the tents. When he reached the entrance he heard the voice of his mother crying and instantly froze. Why was she crying? Had something happened to his father?
Aiden rushed into the tent with his heart lodged in his throat, "Mother!" He yelled. But to his relief, he saw Marceline cradled in his father's arms crying like an infant.
