Cynthia up top. Also Mac's Mum's lullaby.
We all sit around the table. I sit Cynthia on my lap, Amy sits at my left while Selene sits to my right. Chip and Asher sit beside each a few seats away from Amy, Senrie sits next the Selene and Nyx next to him.
I clear my throat and look toward Queen Serifina, "shall we begin, your majesty?" I say respectfully. Selene turns her head towards me, raising a brow, "since when have you been polite?" I roll my eyes and ignore her.
Queen Serifina smiles at me in a motherly way and I flinch slightly. Everyone but the boys noticed. Queen Serifina frowns at me, as do the girls, "are you alright, dear?" The boys look towards me, confused on why she asked that. Amy takes my hand and Selene puts a comforting hand on my arm. I swallow the lump in my throat and nod weakly at her.
She reminds me of my mum. Even if my mothers smiles weren't real, I made myself think they were. Acting if everything was normal and my family didnt actually not like me and thought of me as a disgrace. Jake was the only one to be a true friend to me. Almost like a bro-, "Macona?" Amy squeezes my hand and I shoot my head up looking towards Queen Serifina, "we dont have to speak right away. You seem quite tired. How about we discuss everything tomorow afternoon?" I open my mouth to protest but Queen Serifina raises her hand, stopping me from speaking, "we will discuss this tomorow afternoon. I will send for someone to show you to your rooms for the time being. Feel free to go walk around the city, but be sure to let the guards know your going out."
I bow my head, slightly restrained, Fury not wanting me to bow towards anyone, "of course, your majesty." Queen Serifina laughs and shakes her head, "Call me Serifina dear. Your my daughters mate after all, so your like family now." I restrain from flinching again but grimace. Serifina frowns again, "oh and dear, if you ever want someone to talk to, just call for me."
I give her a small smile and head out of the room, the others following after. Theirs a lady with gray eyes and black hair standing there. she looks up when she hears the door open, "excuse me. I'm here to show you to your rooms. If you'll follow me please." she turns and starts walking down the long hallway. I look at the others and shrug following after her.
I look down at the little girl in my arms to see her asleep with her head on my shoulder. I smile down at her and see Amy smirk at me out of the corner of my eye. I blush slightly and look away, a grin making it on my face when i hear Amy laugh. Gods, i love her laugh, I love her.
~~~~~~~~~
We stop every so often when we reach someones room. Selene, Amy and I are the only ones left. We stop at a black door and the woman gestures to it, looking at me, "this is your room." She looks at Cynthia, then Amy before looking back at me, "or well, you three's room. If you need, we will provide you clothing, since it seems you didn't much clothing with you." I nod and open the door, only to be stopped by Selene.
She has a hand gripping my bicep tightly. She leans forward to whisper in my ear, "you can talk to me, if you want. I can tell it has something to do with family. I'm here for you. I may seem like an ass all the time but that doesn't mean I don't care about people." She pulls back and gives me a small but genuine smile. I give her one back and nod once again.
I take Amy's hand and go inside. I let Amy's hand go and go to the bed laying Cythnia down on it. I take a step back and put my arms above my head, stretching. I feel arms come around my waist in a tight embrace. I lean back into it, putting my hands over hers. She puts her head on my back, "do you want to tell me what happened back there?" Amy says in a low voice, not wanting to wake up Cynthia. I sigh and move out of Amy's arms and sit by Cynthia, on the edge of the bed. I move Cynthia's hair out of her face, then look down at my lap, "it's just...your mother reminds me of my mum."
I look up at Amy with a small smile, "Come on love. Let's get changed and go to bed." I stand up, and go over Amy, kissing her forehead. She nods and goes to the closet. She walks out with two robes. A purple one and a black one.
Amy hands me the purple one and we head to the bathroom to take a shower before we head to bed. I grab our bags with our cloths in it and seat them in the sink. We don't do anything sexual in the shower because we're to tired, just want to get to bed but also because Cynthia's in the other room.
We get out, dry off and put our night cloths on. I slip on my shorts and tank top before looking in the mirror at my eyes. They have dark bags under them, making me look like the dead. I shake my head and put the robe on, walking out with Amy behind me. I look up to see Cynthia awake, looking around in a panic with tears going down her face.
When she see's me she jumps off the bed running towards me. I crouch, opening my arms to catch her, as she barrels into me. She hugs me tightly and sobs. I rub her back gently, "shhh, it's okay. It's okay." I stand up taking her with me and lay down on the bed. Cynthia curls up against my side with her head on my chest still sobbing, "Cynthia." I call her, wiping the tears off her cheek. She doesn't answer me, "Cynthia, talk to me. What's wrong?"
She sniffs, lifting her head to look at me, "I miss my mum and dad. Dad used to dance to mums singing as she'd sing me to sleep, just to make me laugh. I miss them so much, and now they're gone!" She starts hitting my chest while yelling, "Why did they have to go?! Why did they have to leave me?!" I grunt slightly with the little girl pounding on my chest and Amy takes a step forward to grab Cynthia but I raise my hand to to stop her. Cynthia needs to get this out of her system. It'll hurt her if she just keeps all this anger and sadness inside. I know, I keep it all inside, even to today, I keep it inside. It's tearing me down but I dont want people to think I'm weak, so I keep it in. Cynthia keeps yelling and hitting my chest, "they could've just stayed with me! They didn't have to go and die! I hate them!! I hate them!!" Cynthia falls on my chest, continuing to sob.
I sit up and hug her to me, "they left to protect you. They left so that you could have a future. You should never hate them for that. They will always be watching over you. They will always be with you. Maybe not in person but they'll be with you in your heart, soul and mind." Cynthia's sobs slowly disappear into sniffs. She leans back and looks at me with puffy eyes, "Will you sing for me, Makky? Please?" I give her a warm smile and nod, "how about this? I'll sing my mum's lullaby she used to sing to me everyday." I smile at her when she nods.
I lay down and motion for Amy to come lay beside me. Once she is, I begin singing softly to them.
Half way through the song Cynthia's asleep and Amy's eyes are starting to drupe. I laugh softly and kiss her forehead, "goodnight you two."I'm beginning to feel closer and closer to this little girl. And I can tell Amy is warming up to her as well. I smile and close my eyes, letting sleep take me.
