*10 years Later*
Grabbing the large disk, she hugged it towards her chest, as little Amara made her way to the record player. Standing on the tip of her toes, she put the disk on the record player, before putting the large needle in it's place. As the music started playing; she gave a smile of satisfaction, Before going to her spot on the carpet, in front of the fireplace.
A small pile of picture books lay scattered. Sitting down; she grabbed the nearest one. Flipping to the first page. Many pictures of different kind's of scenery, of meadows, and mountains.
Amara found them all beautiful, even the most plain ones.
The sound of the front door opening then closing, caught her attention. Amara looked up to see her father walk into the room. It didn't take long before he spotted Amara.
Amara smiled, getting up, to hug him "You're back!"
Malefic looked down at her, as she hugged his waist. "Yes" He said blankly, Before pausing "What are you listing too?" He asked
"La Vie En Rose"
He nodded "I'm going to make dinner, any requests?"
" Spaghett !"
"Spaghetti" Malefic corrected
"I know" Amara giggled
Malefic patted her head " Go set up the table"
Amara nodded, Running to the Dinning room. Malefic following
Getting to the cupboards, Amara climbed on the counter, and opened the one that carried the china. She grabbed two, Before she could move, she had accidentally leaned too far back.
Before she could start falling, her father quickly caught her.
"Next time if you need help, tell me" He sighed, Placing her down
"Sorry" Amara gave him an apologetic smile, before going to the table.
*--------------------------------------------*-------------------------------------------------*-------------------------*
With the table set, and dinner ready. Both father and daughter sat down, ready to eat.
"Father?" Amara asked hesitantly
"Hmm"
"My Birthday is coming up"
"Yes, Yes it is"
"I know what I want"
Malefic looked up from his plate "And would that be?"
"A bouquet of flowers"
Malefic raised an eyebrow " Flowers?"
Amara nodded eagerly "Yes, yes, I found out how much I like flowers" She stood up, quickly going to the living room. She then came back, caring a book and a few pages.
"Look, Look!" Amara went up to Malefic, She opened up the book to a page at random.
"See? That's called a rose, and did you know there is different colors? Oh- and look" She then grabbed the pieces of paper, All of them had drawings " I even drew a flower called a daisy!"
Malefic looked at all of them " And you want these flowers?"
Amara nodded quickly " If a bouquet of flowers is too much, then at least a single rose?"
Malefic sighed "I'll see what I can do" He looked up at the clock, " For now, lets focus on getting you ready for bed"
*---------------------------------------------------------*------------------------------------------------------------------*
Amara laid down, as Malefic tucked her in.
"I will be going back to work, tonight"
Amara frowned
"I'll be back in the morning,"
"Don't go" Amara whined
" I have to"
"Then I'll sneak out to find you"
"Amara" Her father warned " You know the rules"
"why? Why can't I go outside?"
"I'ts dangerous"
"How?"
Malefic shook his head "Not now" he said before giving Amara a peck on the forehead "Night"
Amara watched as he left the room,
Night; she thought , before drifting off to sleep
