-1For the rest of the day I played with Soraya and Ebony watched as the bond between us became stronger as each hour passed. When the time came for Soraya to go to bed Ebony and I tucked her in. Soraya looked very happy as she fell sound asleep.

Ebony and I went in to the living room and I yawned. "Tired?"

"Yes. Playing with my daughter and jet lag have drained me." Ebony smirked. "I thought it might, you know she always asked about you when you weren't here. Sometimes I didn't know what to tell her. So I told her of what you were like when we first met and she didn't like the sound of it. But as I told her more she wanted the feelings I felt for you when we were at school."

"And now she has." I said thinking back to the day Ebony and I first met. "You were trying to kill Tala."

"Yeah well he was being a complete moron. It was a good thing you were there or I would've seriously hurt him." I smirked. "That or committed homicide." She laughed and looked at me with soft loving eyes. "Probably, I was very angry back then. So many things were going round my head at once."

"Excuses, excuses." I teased and she threw a cushion at me. I would've caught it but due to my tired state it hit me in the face before I even had a chance to move. I removed the offending item from my face and glared at the perpetrator who glared back. "That's not funny, you know what I was like back then."

"All to well. You put the fear of god in to the school bullies and your enemies." I said with a smirk trying hard to keep my eyes open. "That's not funny." She said in an emotionless kind of way, she was seriously pissed off. I apologised quickly too tired to get involved in a fight. She shrugged meaning she already forgot about it. "Why don't you go to bed already?" I shrugged and smiled at her. We watched a film and I don't remember the end.

EBONY

Kai had finally fallen asleep. He looked so peaceful it seemed a shame to wake him so I took a blanket and covered him in it. I was just about to go to bed myself when the phone rang. I hurried quickly to answer it so as not to wake Kai and cursing the idiot who would ring at this hour. "Hello?"

"What's with the tone Ebony?" It was Tyson's father. "Oh, hello Mr. Granger I didn't know it was you." I explained why I was rude. "So your grumpy husband has returned." He joked. I sighed wishing he would hurry up and tell me what he wanted. "I've found something very unique in a newly discovered temple." He told me the location and my eyes widened in interest. He said it was found half buried in an unexplored Chinese forest surrounded a huge mountainous cave. The forest only managed to grow because the ceiling was lit up by glowing algae and worms giving off enough light to maintain a forest. But then I took one look at Kai and thought about Soraya. "Oh come on. The first day Kai comes home for more than a day in so many years and you want me to go and ditch them for this?"

"Hey take it easy Ebony. Mr Dickinson said you need to get out of this country for a while, he said you had itchy feet." Stanley H Dickinson, so this is your doing. Just then a thought came in to my mind and I decided to investigate. "Did he say anything about Kai coming home?"

"I'm not as devious about hiding the truth as he is am I?"

"Not even close." I waited for Mr. Granger to spill the beans about what Mr. Dickinson had told him. "He said you were left holding the baby for so long it might be a good idea for Kai to spend some time with the sprite alone. Also it's a good opportunity for you to travel a bit so those feet or yours don't become something serious." I sighed heavily trying hard to think about this. I finally got my family back under one roof and Stanley wants me to lave them? I smirked at the devious old fool's plan. "When do we leave?"

"In one weeks time. I'll come by to pick you up." I put the phone down and kissed Kai on the forehead before going up to my room.

KAI

I woke in the middle of the night to find Ebony had gone to bed and I was left in the dark room on my own. I was still very tired but managed to find the strength to walk to our room.
