Lulu awoke abruptly in a crying state, as she had just had a nightmare. She curled into a ball and began to cry as she remembered what her mother's last words were in her dream…
I just want to see my little girl…
Lulu continued to cry. She missed her mom and dad...She missed her old world….She missed everything that was now gone forever…
All because of her…
Suddenly the door opened, and Veigar was standing in the doorway, his eyes filled with sleep and annoyance. "Girl, what are you doing? Do you know what time it….." His voice trailed off, and his eyes narrowed with concern. "What ARE you doing?"
Lulu continued to stare like a deer in headlights, before she registered his question. Then she looked away.
She expected him to leave, but instead she heard him approach, then, she was in his arms. She felt tears come to her eyes again. She buried her face in his chest and cried.
She didn't have her parents, or her world, but that was fine. Because now….
Now she had him.
