'OK now that, that's settled. I'm tired. Its tiring getting 2 people who love each other together.' I thought. "Hey Grandma. Ten Ten. I'm going bed. I'm tired." "Oh ok." said Ten Ten. "I won't be too long to come in." I went into my room and was about to lay down when there was a knock on my bedroom door. "Its me Ten Ten." "Oh come in Ten Ten. I was just about to lay down." "So Ten Ten. Can you tell me a little about your sister Frostine? How she was when she was younger?" "I will tell you what I remember." Then she told me until we both were getting sleepy and I fell asleep first. "Hehe. Poor Neve." Ten Ten went over and covered Neve up and patted her head. "Goodnight Neve." Then Ten Ten went to bed as well.
The Next morning Ten Ten and I woke up. "Morning Ten Ten" "Morning Neve." "MMM Breakfast smells good." I said. "No way!" said Ten Ten. "Is Mom making my favorite breakfast?" She rushed out of the room to see. "Mom are you making my favorite breakfast?" "Yes I am." "I thought so." "Go and get dressed. It will be ready then." "OK mom." We both got dressed and headed to the table. Aries was already there and I was glad I dressed up. I wasn't expecting him so soon. "Good morning Aries." I said. "Good Morning Neve." Then we smiled at each other. "Oh Quinn. When did you get back?" I said curiously. "I got back before everyone got to bed. Don't worry." "Oh Aiden. I need to talk to you about something later OK?" "Yes Neve. I have a feeling I know what it is about." "OK. Lets eat." I said. Everyone ate their breakfast.
"Hey Aries? Can we walk around here for a bit after I talk to Aiden about business?" "Yes of course." "I need to talk to you about something too." Once breakfast was done, I said, "Ok Aiden. Where can we talk that is private?" "Oh Uh? Mom? Can I use that Room?" "Yes you can."
We went in a special room that Talia never lets anyone into until now. "Its about the war 6 years ago Right?" I nodded my head yes. "In your dream you found out from mistress I was one of the few that knew about it." "Yes she did." "Well. I only know what I was told. I can't guarantee anything. It was your moms breed. The Nue attacked the town. They were turning the place over looking for your mom. If someone didn't know anything, they would kill them. I don't know why they wanted her. Then when they found her dead body, they took it with them, and fled." "Mom. No." I was in tears. "Do you know where the Nue village is?" "That I do not know. I know that someone from your uncles village might." "Thanks again Aiden." "I need to go see Aries now."
"Hey Neve? Is Aries good enough for you?" "Why do you ask?" "I don't know. I just was thinking other guys would be your type." "I didn't think so at first, but when we were on the journey I got to know him better." "If you ever need help let me know." "Well how would I tell you? Is there a way to write letters back and forth?" "You know I never asked." "If there is a way, I will be looking forward to your letters." "Thanks Aiden." So I walked out with Aiden. "OK Aries lets go."
"Lets go to the place we had our picnic. Then we can talk." Said Aries. "Lets talk about some things now that we can rest a bit." "OK. What do you want to talk about Neve?" "Hmm. Lets see. I don't know. What I want to talk about I want to do at the place." Then I brought up a random subject. "What kind of things are you into Aries?" "Oh. Lets see. You may think I am a child saying this but, I still like to fly kites. I also like to train with my sword...." Then he went on and on about the things he liked to do. "Enough about me. What sort of things do you like?" "Well. I like that necklace you gave me. I am not so into earrings and bracelets. I like dresses. I like singing, Dancing. Anything that doesn't require me to sit down. Oh I also will be willing to try anything new if its not sitting down stuff." "Oh Is that so?" "Well. would you like to train with me? When I got home I made you a sword. I hope its light enough for you." "That sounds like fun." I said.
"Ok here we are Neve." said Aries. "Wow. Its even more beautiful than I remember." I said. "Well Yeah. Its springtime." said Aries. "Ok. lets sit down and talk." I said. We sat on the bench and we started talking. "Ok Aries. I know you talked to grandpa." "Yes I did." "So what was his answer to your reply?" "Well he agreed it would be best I go somewhere with you then being shipped off to strangers. In a couple of months I would have to be shipped off anyway." "That's what Keyon's dad said." "So you met my uncle then." I nodded yes. "He's a little weird isn't he?" "Well I don't know. After we talked to him we went to Keyon's room to talk." "Oh. Well he's weird. Trust me." "Hehe. I like weird." I gave Aries and sudden kiss, Aries was shocked for a moment, then welcomed it.
Finally after a few moments the kiss parted. "Wow Neve. That was sudden." "Anyway. I'm glad your coming with us. You know Aries. You would be the first Raiju to enter the fox territory besides Frostine right?" "Yeah. I hope they like me." "I'm sure they will but don't turn yet. Frostine has yet to show her form. Plus If they don't I will make the ones who don't like you, like you. Trust me I have my ways." "That's scary." "HeHe. you know me too well." "So when we get back what do you want to do Aries?" "Well first I would like to meet your uncle and grandma. Also your aunt Frostine I haven't seen since I was 4." I started spacing and Aries noticed.
"What are you thinking about Neve?" "Oh I was just wondering where the Nue village is." "That's what your mom was right?" "Yeah. mom was gone. Why did they want her body?" I said unconsciously. "What are you talking about Neve?" "Oh. sorry. I talked to Aiden about the war that happened in the village 6 years ago." "So do you want to tell me?" "Yes I do." Then I sat up straight and told him what Aiden told me. "What is it Aries?" "I have read something about this before. I don't know why they were after her, as for the dead body, in some cases they are dead to humans, but to Nue they may still have life still in them. I wonder if they were able to save her." "Yeah I hope so too." I said in tears. "Oh Neve. You miss your mom don't you." I nodded yes. Aries embraced me and rubbed my back. "I'm sorry Aries. I know I'm supposed to be strong. Right now I'm pathetic. I'm showing you my weak side." "Hey its fine Neve. Look at me." I looked at Aries, and Aries wiped my tears away and said, "Its ok to be weak sometimes. I mean even I shed tears sometimes. Its more embarrassing for a man to shed tears and show his weakness than a woman." "Hehe." "There's that smile I want to see. Should we head back?" said Aries. "Yeah. I need to tell dad what happened too."
We got back to Talia's house, Dad and his stepdad were there. "Oh dad. I have something to tell you." He followed me to my room and I told him what happened to mom. "I figured they would be after her sooner or later." "What do you mean dad?" "When your mother was alive, one of the Nue from the village warned us they would be coming back for her. They wanted her back. I don't know why they did." "Hey dad? Do you know where the village is?" "No honey. I'm afraid not. Only a half Nue or true Nue can find the village." "I-I see. You would have to go back home first in order to find it though." "I know dad." "OK sweetie." He kissed my head, and I gave dad a hug. "I missed you so much dad." I said in tears. "I missed you too baby girl." I squeezed dad hard. "Its ok. I'm here now. We are together again." "I know." Then we parted and I said, "Too bad moms not here to see Aries. She would like him." "Well he better be good to you or he will answer to me or your uncle." "Hehe. Dad he will be the first Raiju to come to the village. He is scared people won't like him." "OH I'm sure things will turn out ok. If your uncle Keelo has anything to say." "Dad? About Keelo? When I first met him I was scared at his voice." "Yeah. I was surprised to when he came into his man voice. It startled me and mom too." "Hehe. I didn't think anything scared you dad." "Well something does scare me. Not being able to see you again. Now I know I have a son, not being able to see him again scares me too." We both walked out to join the others.
