"Wow this is pretty." I said. It was a gorgeous place green grass blue sky field of flowers. It also had picnic benches and a few benches to sit on. "Ok I will be close if you need me. Just not too close." "Thanks Vain." "What are brothers for?" "Hehe. Lets sit on the bench Aries." We sat on the bench and snuggled. "I'm glad you came Aries." "Really? Your not mad?" "Well I was at first. I was trying to protect you and the others by going alone. I wanted to know what it was like first and see if it was safe." "I'm sorry Neve. I almost didn't make it though. I barely made it. Thank god I did." "Hehe. Yeah I am too. I will have to have a nice long talk with dad and uncle about the situation when I get back. Aries. I just missed you so much." I squeezed Aries tight. "Can't breathe." "Oh sorry. Guess I got stronger. ha.. ha.." "Thank you. I missed you to." We gave each other a good kiss on the lips and snuggled again. "Oh Aries. When we get back to Vale's, I need to tell you something." Aries nodded. "Its getting a little chilly. We should head back." I said. "Yeah lets go." said Aries. "Ok Vain. We are ready to go." Aries and I walked together holding hands.
"OK here we are. Lets go in. Hey dad we're back." "Oh hello son. How was your day?" "It was fine for me." "It was great!" said Neve. "Aries healed my mom after all!" "Oh really? She's herself again?" Then Aries explained. "It might have worked a little too well. She will still be the girl you knew, she may be a little more as well." "Um Vale. I talked to mom. she said she will be coming back with us. I'm sorry." "Its ok Neve. She has a family. She has been away for enough time. I have been visiting her for 6 years. I think its time she needs to spend the rest of it with her family." "Thanks Vale." I gave him a hug. "Is that all right if I call you uncle Vale then? You are my moms childhood friend." "Sure. I don't mind." "Cool. Hehe." "What is it Neve?" Said Aries. "Well. It seems no matter where I go, I end up with more family. Blood related or not." "Your just easy to make friends with and maybe a little too kind." "Yeah I need to work on that. I will try to be a little meaner." So I made a mean face just to joke around. "Haha" All the guys laughed. "Hehe" I laughed too. "Well I tried." "Neve you don't have to be meaner. You just can't hesitate to defend yourself if needed. When someone has a weapon you have to be on guard." Said Aries. I sighed. "Yeah I know that much. I'll do my best."
"Oh Yeah I forgot! Aries. I needed to tell you something. " "We will be in my room uncle." "Alright." "Hehe. Thanks. OK Aries. First thing I want say is what the hell were you doing all this time when you got here. I know you can only come here with a Nue or half." "About that, I got kidnapped when I was little. I think I was about 5. I was found 2 or 3 years later. I was friends with one of the kids there. He was a teenager who was also a Nue. He told me to tell his parents something if he didn't make it. He didn't make it alive." I made a sad face. "Its ok Neve. So I asked around for his parents and stayed there until I came and got you." "Oh Aries I'm sorry." I gave him a hug. "Its ok Neve. It happened quite a few years ago now."
"Ok now the main thing I needed to talk to you about. Not long after I got here, Vain took me out on the town. After awhile we rested at a café. I had a terrible headache. After we got our tea's to go, I went back to Vale's. I went to lay down and take a rest. I saw Annabeth in my head. She told me that I needed to go to the foggy place I saw when we were on the island near your village." "Didn't Artimis warn you not to go there?" "Yeah. I didn't. I wanted to come back on the way home. Except I wanted to get home. The headache was just a warning to come back or else type of thing. I told Annabeth that after my two weeks and I head home, I will get ready in a couple of days. I can take as may people as I want, but only three are allowed in. I was thinking of taking you Wren and Quinn. If they will come. I'm sure they will. As for the others I want to see if I can get Artimis and the other two with us. That was fun. Oh and of course Keyon. She was the only girl in the group." "Ok Neve. Let's talk more about it when we get home ok?" "Yeah. Good idea. Well its getting late. I'm sure dinner is ready by now."
"Hello guys." I greeted them. Then everyone said hit to us. "Hey guys. Dinners about done." said Vale. "Oh ok. So um. I was wondering, can we spend most of tomorrow learning about Nue? That's really what I came here for. Also to learn about my mom." "Yeah. We can do that. There are places you can go too and elders to see about it." "Oh cool. I need to take notes. Good thing I got a bunch of paper and pencils." "Hahaha. When don't you have them Neve?" Said Aries. "Hehe. Yeah your right. Its just everywhere I go I learn something new and like to write it down." "Yeah good idea." said Vain. "I should do that too."
After dinner was done, it was time for bed. "Hey Aries? Can you sit beside me till I fall asleep?" "Sure I will." Once I was dressed for bed, I called Aries in. "OK you can come in now." Aries went in and saw me in bed. "I never said this but, this room is pretty." "Yeah I thought so too. It used to be Vain's sisters room." Then I told him about Vain's sister and mom." Poor girl. Only eight years old. Try to go to sleep ok?" " Yeah. Hey Aries? I love you." "I love you too. Night Neve." "Night Aries." We gave each other a kiss and I looked at Aries till I fell asleep. "Night Neve. I love you too. See you in the morning." He kissed her head and cheek and went out.
"Wow. She was tired." said Aries. "Yeah I bet." said Vale. "She is such an energetic girl. Just like her mom was." "Can you tell me a little of how her mom was growing up?" So they talked until they lost track of time until Vale looked. "Wow is that that time. We better get to bed." "Night Aries." "Night Vale see you tomorrow." Then they both went to bed.
Neve was the first one to wake up. (yawn) "I have a feeling today is going to be a good day." I said to myself. I got my battle outfit that showed my belly button and put clothes over it in case something happened. I packed my sword and sheath in my back pack purse and left my room to see if everyone else was up. I walked out of the room and saw no one was up yet. I knocked softly on Aries door.
(knock knock) "Aries you awake? Its Neve." "Yeah just woke up. Come in." I went in and saw his messy hair which was cute like a little boys then I said, "Woah. Nice hairdo." Aries blushed in embarrassment. "Well I did just wake up. I usually do my hair before I come out." "Well its so you. Its adorable like a little boys too." "Haha. Thanks Neve. By the way Neve, you look nice today." "Oh thanks. I bought some clothes at my old village I'm sure you saw. Since you followed me." "Yeah sorry." "I have been practicing with my weapons on the way here as you saw. I'm good at my throwing stars, I just need to work more on my sword practice. I have my sword in my backpack purse." "Oh so that's why you brought it." "Oh I forgot to give you your morning hug and kiss. Here is your hug." We hugged for a few min. Then kissed. We kissed on the lips for a few seconds. "Good morning Aries." "Morning Neve." "OK I will let you get dressed. I'll be in the kitchen eating breakfast. Smells like bacon and eggs. My favorite. See you later Aries."
"Good morning everyone." I said. Vale and Vain said good morning as well. I sat across from Vain. "How was your dad's work?" "It was tiring. No wonder dad always came home tired." "HeHe." Then Aries walked in. "Morning Vain and Vale." "Morning Aries." said Vain. "Oh look who's finally up." said Vale. "Morning Aries. Today we are having bacon and eggs for breakfast." "I knew it." I said. "I smelled it a little bit after I woke up." "Oh so you were up earlier. That's good." said Aries. "Plus its my favorite breakfast. Its light and yummy." I said. "Here you go Neve and Aries." said Vale. Then he went back for his and Vain's. "Thank you for this food." Then we started eating.
"So Vale. What are we going to do today to learn about Nue?" I asked. "Well what do you want to do? Your the one that wants to know." said Vain. "Vain? Do you have any suggestions?" "Well there all old folks and Museums." "Ohh. Lets go to a museum." "Vain will take you today. I will head to work." said Vale. "OK dad. After we eat we can head over."
