I'm working on a new chapter. Yes yes, what a surprise I'm actually trying to do this again. Anyways here's a little bit of what's to come. (P. S. It's not that good. Lol. It was kinda rushed cause I wanna update)
I was up late, reading a book, perched on the windowsill listening to the calm quiet. It's been two weeks since I've last seen Jak, I guess he decided not to take my offer. I can't help but feel a little hurt. Yes, he cheated, but... I still harbor feelings for him. Alia was on a trip with Gilbert and Lovino, something to do with taking her out of this hell for a while. Ludwig was sound asleep, and Toni was staying with Francis for the night. Maia and I were the only two away, both of us struggling to read.
The lights were on, so sight wasn't a problem. It was the stress. Maia had been struggling to adapt lately, and I, well my mind was elsewhere. My mind was still trying to assemble the mystery of my life. I had to be missing something.
I read the same paragraph for the eighteenth time, and had to start it again.
"I give up!" I quietly yelled, slamming the book shut and shoving it aside.
"You okay?" Maia looked up, placing her bookmark in her book and stacking it on the corner of the desk as she looked at me.
"No! No I'm not! I know some things, but not all of them! I have a daughter. I'm in lo-" I stopped myself. I couldn't say if. I was not in love with Jak. Was I?
"Let's make a list of what we both know about your life before Haven? Together we should be able to put something together." Maia said, grabbing a notepad.
We worked for half an hour, only coming up with this assumption.
I had a brother, his name was Nikolai, we called him Nik for short. I lived with him and my daughter, Alia, in the green sages hut after he left. We came from an important family. I saved Maia Acheron's life after Jak ended her brothers life, and supposedly ended hers. We became friends. Jak left for an unknown place (Haven) and never returned. I loved him. Alia was his child.
"Is that all we can get?" Maia asked, and I nodded.
"Well, I can tell you something about your family. But not now, you're not ready yet."
