Recap :-

Emma moved to the next painting while I stood there. I was about to move on until I noticed someone familiar in the painting.

Those familiar eyes.....that face. No, it couldn't be him... It just couldn't...

**********************

But that person looked just like him ....It couldn't be ....I must be imagining things and just being delusional. Its just a painting, just a group of people. It could be anyone.

"Earth to Flame, where are you?" ,Emma snapped her fingers bringing me out of my reverie.

I'm just over thinking.

"Are you okay? You look pale as if you've just seen a ghost." Emma asked concern evident in her voice."Yeah- yeah I'm alright . No worries." I answered diverting my gaze from that painting.

I missed him ..... So much. Only if my life had a rewind button. It could have been so much better. But I know its not possible...

"Is something wrong with the painting? Hey.." She raised her hand and touched my cheek wiping away something ...

"Why are you crying?" She asked. I hadn't noticed that a tear had made its way on my cheek and quickly wiped it.

"No..it's nothing. All right !" I smiled at her showing of my teeth. She looked reluctant. Way to go Flame! You had to let that tear fall.

"Um..Flame, if you ever feel like talking to someone, I am always here." Emma smiled reassuringly. I nodded and looked away.

"So let's g- go to that one!" I said just to get away from this place, pointing towards a random painting that being of an odd looking cube .

Emma still looked hesitant, so I put my hands on her shoulders and spun her around and pushed her, urging her to tell me about the other painting.

She frowned but started anyway.
"That's ....." But I wasn't listening to her. I snuck a glance at that painting. It was a huge cube made of smaller cubes. Each cube had different designs that symbolised different aspects of nature. It was beautiful and looked ancient.

However, it looked oddly familiar.

The day passed in a blur. After that little incident in the Remembrance hall, I was  feeling down. Sky had returned from god knows where but he was tensed. He was quiet and didn't speak a single word. When it was time for dinner, everyone assembled in the Hall. I did ask him during the dinner if everything was alright and he just nodded.

*****************************

An hour later I was lying on Emma's bed. "Time for some exploring. You coming? I want to show you few places.", Sky asked getting up ,no more like jumping from his seat that being Emma's purple Teddy bear. Yeah,you heard me right.... Emma's teddy, big - big purple teddy named 'Tada'.

We were right now in Emma's room. When I entered the room my first thought was if I had by mistake come into a kid's room. The walls were painted a baby blue and had loads of pictures on it. The huge bed was pushed to a side and there also was a walk-in closet. The room was nicely furnished with pastel-coloured furniture. But what shocked me were the shelves attached to the walls and the stuffed toys on them. Okay mostly Teddy's.
