Little Inquisitor

10

I walked out of mine and Leliana's room and tried to search for Faeth. Faeth had just ran out of the room after an argument with Leliana. The night was all cute until an argument started out. So I was now searching all of Haven for a three year old. Fun, she could be anywhere.

"Faeth." I called, loud enough for her to hear but also soft enough to not wake anyone else up. I signed when I heard no reply.

I though for a moment. Could she be in the house she's been sleeping in? I asked myself as I started to walk toward a flight of stairs. Once up the stairs Turned towards the house. Noticing the door was wide open. I made my way to the door hearing a soft voice talk. Immediately I knew it was.

"I don't know why, Teddy." The child's small voice said. I could tell that she had been crying, her voice was shaky and filled with sadness. "No, Teddy. Leli is mad at me." I frowned. Who was she talking to?

"Faeth?" I asked as I walked into the house. She turned to look at me. Her face stained with tear streaks. Her eyes huge with tears threatening to fall. I frowned as I knelt down to the ground. Opening my arms out for her. She dropped the small teddy bear that was in her hands and ran into my welcoming arms.

"Don't be mad!" She cried as reach my arms, clinging her arms around my neck.

"Never, were not made at you. Leliana is not made at you." I said walk standing up and walking over to the bed. Kneeling down to pick up the teddy bear as I was making my way to the bed. Once I got to the bed I placed her on the bed and tucked her into the covers. Placing her bear next to her.

"No, stay!" She cried out as she grabbed my arm, her voice filled with terror.

"Shh, why are you scared, Sweetie?" I asked her and I sat on the edge.

"Monster!" She cried.

"There is no monster here. Don't worry if they get in here we have forces that will stop them." I said.

"Bad dreams." She said.

"Are there monsters in your dreams?" I asked.

"Yeah. Bubba is a monster." She said. My heart dropped. Her brother. I heard he died in the explosion of the Conclave. I also heard that she saw his burnt body. This is most defiantly what a child should not experience. She looked up at me, her eyes showing a slight pleading to them.

"I'll stay." I said. She scooted over and patted the side next to her. I smiled as I laid down. Once I was down she curled up next to my side with her head on my stomach. Minutes later she was out.
