Chapter 9

`Lavi

I avoided the topic of my little boy. I want to be with him. I want him back. I want to hold him in my arms, my little baby boy along with little Miki but I know I can't have everything the ways I want it.

Pain fills me at such thoughts. Longing makes it worse.

There are still a lot of problems. I can't act hastily. I'll have to wait until I can find a way. I don't even have any idea where they are.

My emerald eye looking at the little girl by my side wondered, how am I going to do it?

She merely made a soft sound and smiled. It felt weird but it felt like she heard me and tried to say that things will be fine.

It made me somehow happy and hope that things indeed will be fine. How I hope things will be fine.


`Tyki

I knew this would happen. I expected it yet I was so shocked when my brother brought the child home.

The child, he has my brother's hair and color but the eyes consisted of one amber while the other is emerald just like her. He would pass off easily as part of the Kamelot family. All except for that eye which resembles hers. The face too does resemble her slightly but only slightly. The look on his eye gave the most striking resemblance.

I thought that I would hate the child as he grew since he was formed by betrayal but I couldn't. He is like his mother so much, the character that I loved.

He grew up smart like her yet playful. He goes to me at times when his father is away so innocently. He asks me to play with him or teach him other things he has not yet learned.

Road would often drag him to other places and plays with him lots of games. He would run away though since her games were sometimes considered not a child's game.

Road would just laugh it off and ask to play a different game instead.

That is how the life at the manor went on when we weren't doing our jobs.


`Allen

I knew that Lavi would want to have the child taken from him back but no one couldn't do a thing.

Nobody knows where the Noah are and where they are keeping him.

We could try asking for help from other people but the order itself must not find out. We would only get into so much trouble. Things will only grow worse.

The only choice we were left with is to wait and look for chances.

We can't act as we please since it will only cause suspicion.

We can only wait.


`Lavi

Little Miki is so cute. Months went by and she grew to resemble Tyki. The curls on her hair and the expression on her face showed it.

The only way to tell she is my daughter is through her skin color and eyes.

How I wish to bring her outside this floor to explore the world but she must be kept a secret from the order besides well trusted friends. The only place she roamed was the floor Komui let me have. The only people she met and played with are my friends.

We can't leave this place yet. There are dangers once we leave and once they find out she exists.

We can only live in this small space for now.

I can't complain.

Instead, I should be thankful that we have a place to stay at even if in secret.

Years passed and she grew to be so pretty, my little angel. Her smiles are enough to cheer me up despite the pains I felt. That is what I wish to believe. She is my life now.

Which is why it saddened me every time she asked what was beyond the walls.

"Mother, what is there outside? Is it the same as the ones in the pictures?"

She had seen books with pictures showing the cast sea, the clear blue sky, the greenness of the lands and trees, the color of pretty flowers, the streets where people roam ... the world outside this enclosed space.

I'm thankful that they sometimes took books here for us to pass time. It's just saddening that I can't show her what she asks for, even such a simple request.

I can't though. It pains me that I can't. I wish to show her yet that was the deal to let her live. It is painful seeing her that way.

She tries to be cheerful but it can't last long. Her curiosity is as strong as mine.

She wishes to know of the world.


`littlebunny1412: Thanks for reading.

`To explain things further. Something impossible happened. Lyon is the son of Lavi and Sheryl while Miki is the daughter of Lavi and Tyki. Lyon and Miki are half-siblings with Lyon being older by a few weeks.

Thanks to 'Dragonfly', 'sakura2112' and 'DeatheStar' for reviewing ^_^

One should be free to live and see the world despite its flaws for it is magnificent with it.

It won't do to be locked up or stay in one place too long.

That is merely existing and waiting for death.

Living is living.
