A/N: You may be wondering, WHY is she making a new chapter even if she only has one review. Weeellll I won't just give up writing JUST because not many people like it. It's still a passion, not a popularity contest, y'know? Nya nya!

Wake me up

I'm wondering...how long I've slept a full night sleep intentionally. I mean, most of the time I blacked out from my wounds, but never did I fall in a cozy sleep. She helped me get comfy, and when I told her I wasn't sleepy, she didn't take no as an answer. Instead she began to sing a lullaby. One a child might hear and love, but to me, it was just all so sleepy like. Warm cozy fire, nice kind pretty...wait what? What was I caring if she was pretty, I didn't plan on staying here long. No I planned on leaving as soon as possible, just to get away from being so comfy. I loved the feeling...that's how much I wanted to leave. But the wounds, I had broken ribs, I knew she wasn't going to let me go anywhere.

"You know...you don't have to do this," I muttered, my eye lids half closed.

"Of course I do," she whispered softly. She was pushing strands of hair from my face. It was so mother-like, yet I knew something else. She enjoyed doing this?

"Why, to get more people points?" I said, almost about to sleep.

"To help you, silly," she replied, getting up as I fell asleep. I could have sworn I felt a pat on the head or something, but I was off in dreamland, go figure.

Emeka

He felt so cold. So pale looking...He was almost gone, I could feel it. But I didn't believe it.

"He's human JUST like me," I kept telling myself, though in his eyes...I saw nothing. No emotion. He was purposely trying to push his emotions away? Or maybe not. It looked like a strain just to smile, as he did when he finished the broth...

Flash Back

"Hey, do you remember where you're from?" I asked nervously. I hated prodding, but it was always needed.

"The castle," he replied coldly, as if it were a memory he would forget.

"Ooh, nice one, are you going to return?" I was prodding further, but if he did, I would have to probably send him earlier than he recommended, so I began to plan my supply pack for him.

"...No," he said finally. His moments of silence made me uncomfy, but I could resist running.

"Oh, but don't you have someone to go back to?" I asked with my eyes filling with joy. He would be staying for awhile then!

"No," he said, although I saw the corners of his mouth twitch upwards to me. The look in his eyes told me, "Don't make me do that unintentionally again, or I'll strange something, just not you,". I sighed and walked off to make a bed for him.

End of Flashback

He was so calm...so collected, but icy and unwilling to share a past. I did most of the talking for him, but...I couldn't help it. The guy needed some kind of warmth in his life, even if it was a short period of time. I shook my head as I felling into my bed with a loud "Floof!" and just looked out of the window. The stars were so pretty. I wanted to share something with them, to twinkle so brightly. But then again, all I wanted was a garden. I didn't have the time, nor did I have the money. Strange...how wants become different than needs. I need to help others...why? Because he told me so. A command I cannot leave for the sake of Baguba..Port...

Llednar

I awoke to darkness. It was late then. The old clock in the corner seemed to chime the midnight hour, so I figured I slept for maybe four hours. I never had such a good four hour sleep, but I wanted to see exactly where I was. Tenderly I got out of the bed, yet I felt no pain. I looked down at my chest, and a cream had been rubbed in, probably numbing cream for the ribs. I knew I had to be careful though. As I stood up, I was shocked. This cottage wasn't all that big. The kitchen connected with the sitting room, and four doors leaded to four other rooms on the left. No longer wishing to criticize the house further I looked at the wall of pictures. Men. So many ragged looking men, yet they didn't look romanticly at the girl. Emeka, right? No, they sent a grateful look into the camera. She took in ALL of these people? The whole wall was covered in pictures. Except one picture was not of men, but a little girl... Her eyes so bright, her hair upturned at the chin, was this Emeka?

"She looks so innocent," I whispered to the wall. Yeah, talking to walls.

"I was something like that," said a sleepy voice behind me,"So the cream worked then?"

"Y-yes," I replied, stammering. She walked up next to me and looked at the younger picture of her. She smelled of roses...Fresh new ones, not ones that are so "Everlasting" as the Moogles keep trying us to buy. She was so short compared to me. Only midway at my chest, and yet she had so much pride to over show mine.

"Mm..I wasn't always so busy. Mother used to be just like me, helping others, yet she found time to have a garden. I've always wanted a garden, but since I took Mom's job...I never have time. I'm not as good, but I try my hardest to be JUST like her. The garden she had were roses. Pink, white, red, she loved roses," she trailed off, falling asleep standing up. What a talent.

"Sweet dreams," I said as I scooped her up. She was so light! Her hands took a firm grasp onto my chest. It wasn't painful, but it was awkward. She mumbled something about me smelling like violets and snored ever so lightly. I placed her down onto her bed, because the door was open I figured it was her, and covered her in the blankets, making sure she was comfy. The least I could do was make her comfy.

"'Night," she mumbled from the bed, and I turned to go back onto the couch. As soon as I rested on it, I was asleep.

Emeka

I woke up to the sound of loud knocking. Oh no, he came! Rushing out of bed, I tamed my hair, quickly threw on clothes, and managed to run outside. Llednar looked so alarmed, but I quickly gave him a smile that reassured him. As I opened the door...

"OH my dearest 'Meka! How ARE you darling?" Masho asked excitedly. This man, I could tell, loved me. Adored me. Worshipped me, but I refused to go anywhere other then friends.

"Um, I'm fine Masho. How about you?" I said nervously. I caught Llednar looking amused, so my cheeks turned red,"Want some breakfast?"

"Oh yes my dearest, as long as YOU and only YOU cook it!" he said laughing. Oh boy.

"'Meka, who is this?" said Llednar in a mocking tone. Uh oh...

"Um, he lives in town. I saved him from a heart attack, so he's a...dear dear friend," I manage to choke out as Llednar kept smiling.

"Yes, I am, y'know 'Meka, you shouldn't have rude house guests," said Masho.

"Oh he's just..um..cranky, he just woke up too. I found him yesterday with broken ribs, so he'll be staying for a couple months," I smiled at Llednar and Masho, and began to make breakfast. Llednar looked shock to find out he was going to be staying more than a couple weeks. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Ah, Llednar, its time for your medicine!" I said cheerfully when I tied on my apron. Grabbed some of his pills, and stood in front of him. He looked like..like he was blushing! I leaned down, not too far from his face, but yet just the right distance. For a moment there was silence...him looking at me...me looking at him...I thought he was going to kiss me. Instead he grabbed the pills, which meant grabbing my hand, and muttered "thanks" out to me. I just smiled and began breakfast. This was going to be a looooong breakfast.
