Chapter 25: letter to home

'My dearest Seraphina,
I have exciting news since I left home for the second time six months ago. The man I told you and father about, it seems he wants me by his side long term. He hasn't outright said so but I just can feel it. Don't tell father yet. You know how he is.
He took me to earth to see snow! I thought of our snowman, you remember him don't you? I miss our time together but I feel I am using my new time well. I spend every night with him, but not in that way. In fact my reason for this letter is because I am concerned.
I know it's been a long time since you first lost your virginity, but I worry. If I offer myself to him will it change me? I know father allows you to do as you like regarding men but I'm afraid of the possible back lash. What if people call me a whore? What if I become pregnant? Can I even get pregnant? I'd like to someday. Do I need to marry him?
I cannot express how much I wish you were here with me right now. We could sip hot cocoa and relax in a nicely scented bath and chat about all of this. I still refuse to give you the name of my mystery man. I call him the wolf in my journal.
I guess I should tell you, in case rumours somehow make it your way, but the whole school thinks I am dating a woman. It's for the best really. It keeps my secret relationship with him between the two of us, or should I say three of us? When the time is right I will give you his name. Please be patient. I know you have very little patients but for me make an exception.
Give father my best regards. I miss you both.

-Cephera

She folded the letter and reached over to Shiaji. She plucked from his collar what looked like a small name tag. But it wasn't. It was a mechanical envelope that doubled in size with the click of a button. It was made so only the right person could break the seal using their blood.
Mechanova had lots of little things like this. She placed her letter inside and closed it with a snap. She set it aside knowing only her sister could read its contents. She had forgone time with Kat so she could write her sister. She could have gone to see Loki afterward but was enjoying her time to herself.
It was seldom she had time alone anymore. She stretched out on her bed. Ever since she had been spending her nights with Loki she had failed to notice how uncomfortable her bed actually was.
She bunched the pillow up under her head and tried to stop thinking about how everything about being with Loki was better.
Her letter would be sent tomorrow. She wasn't nervous but she was extremely excited for her sisters reply. Her sister, even though being the same age being a twin and all, was always the older one. She was the more mature of them both.
Closing her eyes she took a few deep breaths. She couldn't help but wonder how long this strange relationship would last. How long could Loki find interest in her. After all they both would live very long lives. She had never really thought about it before. But when people lived longer then 1000 years or even more could they still love the same person? Would they want too? She was slowly realizing she knew nothing about him!
Aside from the information Kat had given her she never bothered asking him anything relevant to his past. Aside for, his studies in magic she had never questioned him on anything else. Suddenly Cephera felt nervous. The want to give him her body completely was dying out.
She didn't even know how old he was. Was he ever married before? Did he believe or want monogamy? She was working herself into a slow panic. She sat up from her place on the bed and stared into the blackness that was her room.
She began to take a mental note of everything she needed to ask him. Of everything she felt meant the most to her. To be fair he didn't know much about her past either.
Cephera took her hair in her hands and began to braid it over her shoulder. She kept her memorial braid, she always kept in her hair, to lay down her chest. Her memorial braid was something she had grown out longer then the rest of hair since her mother was killed. She eventually had to start cutting it to keep it from getting to long but the same bit of hair attached to the back of her neck always created that braid.
She chose a simple dress of blue and white. Even though it was early she braced herself and teleported to Loki's room. Upon arrival Shiaji greeted her with a loud meow. Loki was nowhere to be seen. "Where is he?" She asked picking up her guardian.
Like she knew he would he jumped from her arms and led her from the room. She recognized the hallway leading to his tower immediately even though she hadn't been there since the first time. She reached the top of the long spiral stairs and oddly enough felt awkward just opening the door. She knocked.
She heard something fall and clatter on the floor and a curse. There was a lot of odd banging sounds before there was silence. "I'll be in my room shortly." He said without opening the door or giving her permission to enter the room. Puzzled she stood there staring at the antique wood. He obviously knew it was her.
"What's wrong?" She called back feeling absolutely foolish.
"Just wait for me in my room." He said. His voice sounded strained. Cephera was holding her breath and hadn't realized it. She swallowed thickly. Was there someone inside with him. She felt guilty for thinking it but she couldn't help it. Her heart was thudding hard. She put her hand on the knob. Manners be damned she wanted to no more secrets in this relationship. She swung the door open and her mouth dropped open.
