Chapter~Ten: An old friend
Enya let out a low grumble and rolled onto her other side making Tyki chuckle softly. Tyki wanted to let her sleep since she could really use it, but Enya needed to eat dinner and Tyki wasn't about to let her miss a meal. She was too light in his opinion and that was a very shitty reminder of what her horrible relatives did to her. The thought of them brought made the primal anger and rage that used to be reserved for Innocence rise up. Tyki kind of wanted to resurrect those monsters if only to have the pleasure of killing them once more only this time he'd do it nice and slow just to make them feel even a small fraction of the agony they surely put Enya through. The thought made Tyki grin wildly and Joyd to growl in pleasure at the idea. They were immediatly side tracked as Enya shifted in her sleep with a small whine prompting Tyki to reach out and gently shake her shoulder, "Wake up, Minha Raposa*. It's time for dinner."
Enya groaned and tried to roll away again with a mumble of, "G' 'way."
"Sorry, my love," Tyki pulled her to him, "You need to wake up,"
Enya opened one emerald orb to glare at him, "Don't wanna, I was havin' a nice dream."
"Oh?" Tyki looked at her curiously with a slight grin on his face, "Did it perhaps involve me?" Enya's cheeks gained a soft pink tint making Tyki's grin widen, "Oh it did? What were you dreaming about?"
Enya quickly sat up and tried to move away from him only for Tyki to hold her to his chest. She tried to get away while saying, "It's time for dinner, isn't it? I'm starving, so let's-"
Tyki kissed the soft skin on the crook of her shoulder making Enya cut herself off with a soft gasp as a shudder ran through her body. Tyki nuzzled the spot lightly as he murmured, "Dinner can wait for now. I really would like to know what made you blush, Minha raposa ardente*."
Enya swallowed thickly and opened her mouth only for a knock to sound at the door. Tyki let out a low growl as Allen called through the door, "Tyki, did you wake up Enya yet? It's time for dinner."
Enya quickly got out of his arms and walked towards the door calling out, "I'm awake."
Enya opened the door and Allen smiled at her as he asked, "How do you feel now?"
"Better," Enya smiled lightly at him as Tyki got off of the bed and walked up behind Enya, "What's for dinner?"
"Not too sure," Allen shrugged lightly, "Let's head down and find out,"
Tyki spoke up making Enya jump slightly, "Enya and I will be down in a few moments. We need to talk about something."
Allen looked at Tyki with narrowed eyes then at Enya before nodding, "Alright, but be down quick."
With that said, Allen left and Tyki turned Enya around to face him. Tyki took her chin in his hand gently, yet firmly as he stared into her entrancing emerald eyes. He had to admit that emerald suited her far better than sky blue or soft amber ever did. Running his thumb over the soft skin, Tyki asked her, "Why won't you tell me what you dreamed about?"
Enya's cheeks regained the pink tint that Tyki greatly enjoyed. She tried to look away, but Tyki kept her focused on him. Enya's hand shifted slightly as if she was trying to decide if she should push him away or not. Finally, Enya said something that made Tyki grin, "I just dreamt of our first night together in the cottage."
Tyki remembered that night very well as it had been when he'd truly made Enya his. Reaching out lightly, Tyki tucked the curls that had fallen in front of her cheeks behind her ear as the hand gripping her chin dropped. One of Enya's hands grabbed his as he murmured, "That's one of my favorite memories of our time together."
Enya's cheeks slowly returned to normal as she murmured, "Same. I..Tyki can we visit the cottage after Friday? I have a feeling that we'll both need it."
Tyki was surprised and a little confused by the statement, but replied, "Of course, I was hoping you'd ask."
Enya offered him a bright smile before hugging him. Tyki returned it and breathed in her calming scent. He was slightly worried by the last part of her statement and knew it had to do with whatever the hell happened during her visit to the clan healers. The thought of what could be wrong or troubling made something in Tyki freeze. He pulled her as close to him as possible while reminding himself that everything was going to be fine now that she was back. Eventually, Enya broke from the hug as her stomach growled and she said, "Let's head down for dinner, I'm starving."
Tyki chuckled and grabbed her hand before he started walking. Enya's hand was smaller than his own and more dainty, yet it was calloused in such a way that could only be gained through long hours of hard work. The small scars on her hand that he could barely feel made her hand rougher than before and Tyki wondered where they'd come from.
Dinner was an easy affair after Enya assured everyone that she was okay. As Enya was eating the pasta dish they were having for dinner, she saw Timcanpy sitting on Nea's shoulder and remembered a question that she had for her brother, "Nea?"
"Yeah, Enya?" Nea looked at her curiously.
"What possessed you to let Cross use one of my journals?" Enya asked him as Timcanpy flew over to her and conversation halted around the table as everyone looked at them, "I will admit that he did a wonderful job making Tim even if he did change up my original designs, but why did you let him use one of my journals?"
Timcanpy nuzzled her fingers lightly and she smiled down at the golem which was currently fairly small. Nea offered her a look that was both sheepish and sad, "When I stumbled across your workshop, I regained my memories of you. I came across your notes on organic golems and wanted to get some piece of you back. At the time, I didn't think I could convince the Earl to make one for me, so I went to Cross because he's the only other person I thought of that could make one."
Enya offered him an understanding smile, "It's fine though did you place the notes back in my lab?" Nea nodded quickly, "Good," Enya paused before asking, "What exactly happened to my golem?"
Everyone froze before Adam said, "I'm not exactly sure."
Enya frowned softly at them. During her first life, she'd gotten interested in the making of golems and started to learn how from the masters of the craft. Over time, she'd become quite well versed in making golems, but eventually found them to be lacking. The golems while life-like were all mechanical and eventually bored her. At that point, a thought struck her and she'd began trying to make organic golems that could evolve and life. In the beginning, her attempts failed drastically, but that didn't put her off as she took what worked from each attempted. Eventually, she managed to create the first organic golem. It was a simple butterfly-like creature which had fascinated Joyd. It didn't last very long partially due to Enya's inexperience and the flaws in it's design, but it gave Enya hope that she could create the golem she was looking for. In the end, it had taken a total of three years for Enya to finally make that golem.
Enya had created a golem that she named Solaris. Solaris looked much like the phoenix that Enya could transform by the time she'd finished only his coloring was more towards sunset than her own. Enya taught him how phoenix's acted and what their abilities were. In time, he became just like a natural born phoenix except for being unable to procreate. He became Enya's constant companion and confidant in ways her family wasn't. Enya wondered where he could possibly be and wondered if he'd died at some point. It wouldn't surprise her as it had been centuries since she'd first created him. Sighing softly, Enya murmured, "Perhaps with the passing of the centuries, he died at some point."
Allen looked at her in confusion, "What do you mean, Enya?"
"Allen, I created the first truly organic golems," Enya informed him earning a look of surprise from her brother, "I originally began making non-organic golems due to the interest I had in them. Long story short, I got bored and wanted to create organic ones that could mimic life itself," She smiled lightly as she remembered the butterfly golem she'd first created, "After many failed attempts, I managed to create a simple golem in the shape of a butterfly," She grinned at Tyki, "Joyd was really fascinated by them,"
Tyki smiled at her in return, "Where do you think I got the idea for my Teez?"
Enya let out a soft laugh before she continued her story, "While it didn't last long due to both my lack of experience and the flaws in it's design, it put me on the right track. Within three years, I created the golem that I wanted. He looked just like a phoenix would and I managed to teach him how to act like one. He learned how to use their abilities. Even though he lacked the ability to reproduce, he was perfect in my eyes," Enya smiled a melancholy smile, "It saddens me that I might not be able to see him again outside of my memories."
"What was his name?" Allen asked her curiously.
"His name was Solaris," Enya told him.
A few moments later, everyone found themselves flinching from the table as a fire ball erupted from the center of it. Enya covered her eyes as Tyki pulled her away from the fall. A soft trilling sound echoed around them and Enya found her heart beat quickening as she felt an emotional wavelength that made her eyes sting. Opening them as the fire died down, Enya gasped in shock. She recognized the phoenix easily as she'd seen it in this life, but she knew in her heart it was her Solaris. Adam spoke out as everyone stared at the phoenix, "That's Dumbledore's phoen-"
"Solaris?" Enya didn't care if she was cutting Adam off at the moment as she needed to know for sure if it was him, "Solaris is that you?"
The phoenix let out a soft coo as he took wing and glided over to her. Enya held out her arm and he landed on it make Enya's arm hurt slightly. Reaching out, Enya stroked the top of his head making Solaris' eyes close in pleasure. Adam breathed out, "Solaris was with Dumbledore."
"My little one," Enya cooed that the phoenix, "Why were you with him?"
Solaris opened his beak and spoke for the first time she'd died in her first life, "I was watching you in your last life though you never sensed me nor me at all. I heard you deal and went looking for those that would fit into it. Eventually, I found Dumbledore and became suspicious of him. In time, I was proven right and stayed with him until the next time I saw you," Solaris leaned into her touch as she soothingly ran her fingers through his breast feathers, "When your mother came to his office after you were born, I knew it was you, yet I also knew you were too young to actually remember. After the night your parents died, I knew that I had to keep a very close eye on Dumbledore and waited until you were older to meet," Enya felt her heart ache for him as she realized just how long he'd waited for her to remember him, "During your second year, I was so sure you had your memories due to how you acted, yet you didn't recognize me even during my burning day which forced me to continue waiting," He gave a trilling sigh, "I convinced myself to wait until you called my name to appear before you after the events of the chamber," He trilled softly at her and nuzzled into her hand, "I'm so glad your back, Maker."
"Solaris, I'm so sorry that I made you wait so long for me," Enya apologized to him, "I can't tell you how happy I am that your still alive nor how much I appreciate the work you've done for me,"
"Just don't die again like that," Solaris told her as he moved onto her shoulder.
"I'm not planning on it," Enya let out a soft laugh.
Adam took their attention, "Solaris, could you perhaps inform us of what is going on with Dumbledore's side of things?"
Once everyone had taken their seats once more and a servant had brought out a perch for Solaris, they all returned to eating dinner as Solaris spoke, "Dumbledore panicked when he realized that your relatives house was burning. When they found your relatives mutilated and heavily damaged bodies, he feared that you had died as well. He was relieved when your body wasn't found before becoming furious as he believed you were without a doubt the cause of it," Everyone let out soft laughs and looked at Tyki who grinned brightly at the reminder of killing those bastards, "I take it you killed them, Tyki?"
"And enjoyed it even if I didn't know about everything they ever did to her," Tyki grimaced as he said the last part.
Enya laid her hand on his arm and smiled brightly at him, "So long as they're dead, I'm happy and thankful for you doing that."
She kissed his cheek before returning to eating her food. Tyki's grin returned earning a few laughs and snorts from all around the table. Solaris let out a laughing trill before he continued, "Dumbledore searched the memories of the whole neighborhood only to find that they couldn't remember you being there after last year. It immediatly set off warning bells in his mind. Currently, he has the whole of the DMLE that aren't preparing for the war with Voldemort looking for you with the Minister's permission," Solaris looked at the twins, "You two have been pissing him off very badly because your distracting the DMLE from attempting to find Enya."
"Awesome!" Devit and Jasdero grinned broadly as they high fived.
Enya rolled her eyes before asking, "Do they have any leads?"
"No, but they're attempting to keep a close eye on your friends just in case you contact them," Solaris informed her.
Enya let out a soft curse and groaned, "For the love of Inari, my friends are probably going insane," She covered her face, "Oh I'm so dead when I see them again. Hermione's going to kill me after reading me the riot act, Ginny's going to help her murder me, the twins are going to prank the hell out of me, and the rest..." Enya shook her head as she muttered under her breath, "Dead. I'm so fucking dead."
Solaris let out a low chuckle before suggesting, "I can deliver them messages if you'd like."
Enya perked up and nodded rapidly, "Yeah, good idea," She attempted to get out of her seat only for Tyki to force her to stay seated, "Tyki! Let go, I need to-"
"Eat," Tyki pointed at her half-eaten plate of food, "Your too light and I won't have you missing any meals, so eat,"
"But-" Enya began only for him to shake his head.
"You can do that later," He told her firmly, "Your dinner is getting cold, so eat,"
Enya looked around the room for help only to find that they were all amused and agreed with Tyki. With a low huff, Enya began eating once more. Solaris snickered before looking at Adam as the Earl asked, "Will you continue to keep an eye on Dumbledore for us?"
"Of course," Solaris was happy to agree with that, "I'll keep you posted on everything,"
Enya realized something as she swallowed a piece of shrimp, "Won't Dumbledore notice your gone?"
Solaris shook his head, "I disappear sometimes, but always return when he needs me. He's gotten used to it since we first met."
After that, they continued dinner normally for the most part.
After dinner, Enya ended up in the game room with her brothers though Tyki joined her this time. She ended curled up against his side as he joined her brothers in playing a rather interesting looking game called Halo(1). She started to feel sleepy after an hour or two, so she left the room. Before she went to her room in order to get ready for bed, she stopped by Adam's study in order to talk with him. After knocking on his door, Adam bid her to enter and smiled at her as he looked up from his paperwork, "What can I do for you, Enya?"
"Adam, when will the Healers send you the results of my visit?" Enya asked him.
He nodded lightly, "I believe we will get them by the day after tomorrow or the following day."
"Right," Enya shifted her footing lightly.
"Is there a problem, Enya?" Adam eyed her curiously.
Enya tugged on one of her curls as she said, "I just wanted to warn you that what they'll find isn't going to be peasant and I'm not just talking about what happened with my relatives."
"Enya?" Adam was frowning now.
She closed her eyes, "I don't really want to talk about what happened to me. Some of it is a bit blurry and other things a bit too much for me to want to focus on," She swallowed as she opened her eyes, "I don't want to remember some of the stuff the happened. I don't want to talk about some thing and some stuff I don't think I'll be able to talk about," She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, "I'm dreading when it's time for me to tell you my story. I know how you'll end up reacting and some part of me dreads what you'll think by the end of it all."
She fell silent and waited for Adam to speak. It took some time before the Patriarch of the Noah clan finally spoke, "Enya, if you'll allow it, Wisley and Road could take us into your mind to view your memories. It would allow you to avoid speaking of them and you wouldn't have to relive them."
Enya looked at him in surprise before nodding, "Please."
"I'll inform them tomorrow," Adam waved a hand at the door, "Go get some rest, Enya. You've had a rather stressful day,"
Enya nodded and turned to leave the room. Just before she reached the open door, Enya paused with her hand on the handle, "Thank you for that, Uncle Adam."
With that, she left the room and closed the door behind her.
Adam smiled lightly as he shook his head at Enya's actions before he lost his smile as he returned to the papers he was looking at. After Enya had left his office the first time today, Adam had immediatly began searching through his papers and books for mentions of the vile piece of magic known as a Horcrux. It had taken him until after Enya's little incident in the game room to find what he was looking for buried deep within the ark's archives and the library. After pulling them out, he began looking both for ways to get rid of them and ways to find them. Looking at the papers on his desk, Adam sighed deeply as he muttered, "It looks like I'll need to call in that favor those Goblins owe me."
After getting ready for bed, Enya walked over to the desk in her room and sat down. Looking through the drawers, Enya quickly pulled out some paper, envelops, and pens. Once she had everything on the desk, she began the task of writing her friends. While she wouldn't tell them everything just yet, she told them enough that would allow them to know she was safe, happy, and would see them again. While she wasn't sure about it, she did write that they might be able to see each other at sometime during the summer. After that was done, she asked them the regular questions before finishing the letter and signing it.
At some point during her writing, Enya must have fallen asleep before she woke up to find Tyki carrying her to the bed. Rubbing at her eyes, Enya asked, "What time is it?"
"A little after midnight," Tyki replied as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
He set her on the bed after pulling back the covers and she curled up after moving back a bit to allow him to climb in with her. He pulled the covers over them before pulling her to his side. Enya yawned softly and got comfortable as she murmured, "I guess I fell asleep writing my friends. Sorry."
"It's alright," He smiled at her, "I remember doing that both times you were alive though neither of which happened because you fell asleep writing letters. I distinctly remember it was always because of your research,"
Enya blushed lightly as she said, "It's not my fault I get so caught up in what I'm doing that I forget about everything else."
"I think it's cute," Tyki grinned as Enya rolled over with a soft blush on her cheeks.
"Is not," She denied while crossing her arms.
Tyki chuckled as he turned her back over and pulled her onto his chest before wrapping his arms around her. Enya shifted a little and tried to get out of his arms, but quickly found that she couldn't which made her smile a little. She remembered him doing this all the time in both her past lives. Tyki chuckled softly pulling her from the memories, "Trying to get free, Minha Raposa?"
She rolled her eyes at his teasing tone and settled with her hands planted on either side of him as she stared down at him, "I'm aware of how futile of an effort that is. Your like a dog with it's favorite bone when your do this."
Tyki chuckled softly as he rolled them until he was on top of her. Enya looked up at him in surprise at the action which earned her a husky chuckle from the man above her. He spoke softly as he settled on his elbows, "I thought I was a cat."
"You are," Enya found herself slightly distracted by how intimate this position felt and how easily she could feel the warmth radiating off of him, "I'm not saying you aren't. You're a cat-like predator with some dog like tendencies or is wolf-like more appropriate?" Enya knew she was babbling, "But-"
She stopped talking when his face got close enough to hers that she could feel his warm breath ghosting over her face. She swallowed at the sight of the heated look in Tyki's eyes. Tyki spoke in a husky tone, "What's wrong, Minha Raposa?"
"N-nothing," Enya inwardly cursed herself for stuttering, "We should get some sleep,"
"True," He didn't even move as he said that, "But I want something first,"
"What?" Enya's eyes narrowed at him.
"A good night kiss," Tyki told her.
Before Enya could reply or even think about what he'd said, Tyki's lips were pressed against hers. Sparks flowed from the contact and heat flooded her veins. Before she could respond in any way, Tyki had pulled away and gotten off of her. He pulled her to his chest and murmured a soft goodnight. Enya eventually found herself smiling as she relaxed into his embrace and closed her eyes to fall asleep.
Alright that's it for now. Please R and R, I love reviews!
