(If you have read the last parts ,you perhaps know i am using a made up language named the "Ancient language", Arethousa's pov will be filled with this language,to know its translation,look at the associated line in the brackets along with the dialogue)

Arethousa:

I feel someone's teeth on my nape ,pleasure flows through every inch of my body , just when I open my eyes to see the owner of the teeth ,suddenly I find no one there . Just then ,I hear a sound from behind me . When I move towards the sound ,suddenly  I put my  foot on the air . I look around to find myself free falling

I open my eyes . It was a dream again.  I am tired of getting these dreams again and again . They haven't stopped for one day . I get up from my bed to drink some water . But my mind gets deviated from hearing a humming sound. The sound is so enchanting and yet so eerie .

Am I still in a dream ?

The sound is coming from the room beside mine . I think I had kept Andrea there . The thought of Andrea makes me smile . The girl is so innocent . She was so happy when she finally got someone who will understand her even if she can't talk. Just when I think of going towards her room , she surprises me by coming out of the room herself . To my surprise , the humming sound follows her and fills my entire room . In fact, she is the source of the sound herself . 

When our eyes lock ,we stare at each other for long . That's how we communicate . Her eyes gave me all the answers I needed.  It was as if I could see what happened to her clearly . She comes closer to me and gently holds my hands . I stoop to her level and look at her eyes again . I didn't know how long I had looked at her but I came back to my senses when a tear trickled down from my eye . Andrea used her hand to wipe the tear and then gently started angling my head towards her lap . 

She wanted me to keep my head on her lap so that I can sleep .

And just like that my eyes felt heavy  when she started caressing my head on her lap , brushing my scarlet hair with her fingers and humming the same tune over and over again . Such motherly tenderness despite having no maternal guidance in her life ! When I looked at her the first time this morning , her eyes resembled someone . At that point , I didn't know who it was . Hours later when I was thinking of what to call her , something within me wanted to call her Andrea . Now , it seems like I knew someone named Andrea. The way I have lost the entirety of my memory, it is very hard to remember anything at all . Remembering even this costs so much to me . When I find  comfort in a sound sleep , the last thing that came in my mind was : Who is Andrea ?

••••••••

When I opened my eyes , I found Andrea still looking at me with all tenderness that the whole world can hold . Just two girls with no one dear in their life ,looking at each other as if they are each others'  reflection.

Time passed as it does and slowly I understood how alike we are . She is my new string to humanity.  Slowly and slowly everyone in this forest came to know how much I adore Andrea. She is the literal personification of the heart beating in my chest . Whenever I look at her playing with flowers and talking with animals , I understand what motherhood is . I understand why the little birds bring back food for their babies. Whenever I look into the mirror , I find my red hair slowly losing its redness . Sometimes , I find myself smiling at Andrea's little antics . She seems so innocent during those times , like how she thinks I don't know she is trying to learn Ancient Language now . I keep those informations to myself . I can be an enchantress but no matter what you are ,when you become a mother ,you need to let your little human feel they can accomplish things by themselves.

Right now, I was preparing Andrea's medicine for the deep bruises she has when I heard a scream . I immediately recognised the scream ,it was the same thing I heard when I first saw Andrea . When I hurriedly got to the place , I found Andrea crying while sitting on the grass and my birds trying to tend to her . I can't help but admire how the birds have started liking Andrea but I need to tend to her now . It was a thorn that she stepped on , I didn't spend any more time but took her into my lap .  While going towards my room , I started murmuring the hymns used to heal a small cut .
Suddenly I got cut off by a sound . At first ,I could not recognise it . But then I heard it clearly . The voice sounded like the morning air which makes you feel happy inside ,the one that makes you want to live for another day  . When  I looked at Andrea in my lap , only then I noticed her lips moving .

It's her voice.

"Maey", she said . Or did I hear it wrong ? (Mother )

This time she said it more clear.
"Maey , ziur ae hre" ( Mother , I am healed)

At the same time ,  one of the birds came towards me in a hurried manner and used the same Ancient Language used by Andrea .

It was fast but I heard " Nae girp vge dah"   (We can sense a death  coming)

And I know one thing about  all this , birds don't lie .

Author's note:
Phewwww!! I finally got over the writers' block . I really love how the chapter turned out .

Andrea - she is a delightful little girl.  I feel extremely happy adding her in my plot. The connection between her and Arethousa is the best
