Good with Kids

Chapter 2: Uh Oh, Mr. Diss is in a Sticky situation…

By

Bethany/Robochar



Amelia was making her way to the front gate of the palace. Word travels very quickly in Sayruun so by about 3 o'clock she heard news that a "mysterious looking man" was heading that way. She was hoping it was a certain mysterious looking man that just happened to be name Zelgadiss. It made sense, though. He had a certain nack for coming off as strange and mysterious, especially when he wore a cover over his face.

She hadn't seen him in a few months and she was hoping that maybe he decided to visit. Even if he came to visit the libraries it would be nice to see him again and maybe…well who knows with Zel.

Right when Amelia walked out she saw Zel. However the weirdest thing was that he was talking to a little girl. Amelia was very curious about who this little girl was. She was hoping it wasn't his adoptive daughter or something. Not only would that be just weird, then that would mean he has found some one else!!! Well she wanted to find out so she went up to Zel and even surprised him a little.

"Mr. Zelgadiss!"

"Amelia you came out of no where."

"So, who was that?"

"Um who was who?" Zel said sorta nervously. He wasn't quite sure what she was talking about.

" That little girl? Is she your Daughter?"

" NO!" he said very startled

"Oh. Is she is she you little sister or maybe a cousin or something? Well who ever she was you seemed to know her very well."

" Well, she is um… um…"

" Can't tell? Oh well. I did think it was nice that you were taking care of her. I always liked a man that was good with kids."

"Well Amelia, she's my um Niece!!"

The comment about "being good with kids" set fireworks off in his head. He had found a way to be closer to Amelia. This was the way. He didn't think his "charming personality and good looks" could attract anyone so maybe just maybe.

"Really? You talked to your family? That's great Zelgadiss!" Amelia was happy for Zel she thought it was nice that he was speaking to his family that he never wanted to see after the chimera stuff.

However as Amelia went on, it seemed as Zel had to dig deeper with lies.

"So what's her name?"

"Um Ruby."

"How pretty!!! Who are her parents?"

"My um…oldest brother and his...wife."

"Hey how about you, Ruby and me can go out tomorrow!!! We can get caught up and I can met her." Said Amelia. she hadn't seen him in about 4 months and she missed him. She thought there was something special between them and maybe now they could find it.

"Well um..I don't want to go out in public longer then I have to. And you would probably make me wear something that wouldn't cover my face and body, and you what happens when people see me. Plus I think…um…Ruby is busy tomorrow."

He really didn't want to go out in public. He HATED it. Everybody would stare at him funny. Just like they always do. It was just annoying even if he was used to it. Also that's not why he came to Sayruun. He just wanted to use their Library's to find his cure. It didn't help that she wanted to bring Ruby along. She was 6 and she would probably would blab and Amelia may get mad at him for lie. Even though he liked Amelia he wasn't sure it wasn't worth it.

"I was looking forward to spending time with you." Amelia said disappointed. Not only did she not care what he looked like or what others thought, she was mad that he always thought about his cure first. Then she got an Idea.

" Ok fine Mr. Zelgadiss. I'll let you find your cure, like I know you want to, after we go out tomorrow. Just ask if you can baby sit Ruby tomorrow. I sure her parents would be fine with it. Also I don't like to use my power to get what I want but, I don't know any other way, and I think it maybe good for you. So from now until we go out, ALL the libraries in Sayruun palace are closed to you."

Zel was kinda mad at this but he really didn't have much of a choice. So he agreed to Amelia's request. Maybe it would be so bad after all. AT least he was with Amelia.

"Fine Amelia. I'll do it," said Zel sort of feeling defeated.

"That's great!!! I can't wait!!!" said a very happy Amelia.



*Next day*



Zel spent the whole night trying to figure out how he was going to "barrow" a little girl for a day and keep her from not blabbing anything about her being not being related to him. It was going to be a long day he though to himself.
