Zaira Pov:

I stared at the little boy across from me. The adorable freshly turned 8 year old sat on my bed holding his squishy child face.
I could tell he was bored, It's honestly a shock he isn't bouncing off the walls.
All the sudden he huffs and flops onto my lap. I chuckle as I pull him up into a sitting position. He snuggles closer to me as I smile. We sit in silence for a few moments before he looks up at me,
" Z.....can you make me a butterfly?....please..." He ask quietly.

My heart screams at his adorableness.

I tilt my head and run my fingers through his mop of blonde hair. " Of course Light." My voice just as quiet as his own, no matter how much I wanted to scream yes.
Slowly I raised my left hand in front of me and Light.

I shut my eyes and take a deep breath, once my eyes opened there was a glowing blue butterfly flying above my palm. I look at Light as he slowly raises his hand to touch it. The butterfly lands on his middle finger making his smile.
This is one of my favorite sights. When ever Light is happy I magically become happy. I love this little boy like a son. He's all I have left of R-

Suddenly Ryder walked in my room without knocking. I growl under my breath but I'm sure he heard it.
" Get out and knock." I say emotionlessly. My blue orbs staring into his own.

" But mister Condor sai-." He began to say, before I Instantly put my hand up to his face and pointed to the door. " Out." I say again, only this time more firm.

He rolled his eyes at my child like behavior before stepping out of my room and shutting the door.
This time I heard three soft knocks before I granted him access into my room.

I ran my hands through Lights hair as Ryder began talking.
" Z, Mr. Condor is downstairs with our new house guest. He wants you down immediately. Everyone else is already there, except you and Light of course."

I sigh and nod, " Got it. Go on down and tell him to give me a second." My voice soft as I spoke. Once he left the room I swiftly picked Light up off my lap and set him on my bed.

I walked over to one of my drawers and pulled out one of Lights dark red vest. " Do you like this one Light?" I ask him, he nods as he tries to get off my huge bed. Once he's down and regains his balance he stumbles over to me and slips on his vest.
" Yes...I like this one. Thank you Zaira."
Light has always been shy and insecure around people. Even me. When I found him his mother had practically turned him into a pushover who was afraid of his own shadow. He says thank you if you do the smallest thing for him, and says sorry if he even assumes he did something wrong. In my opinion his mother deserves to rot in the deepest depths of hell.

Once he's dressed he grabs onto my hand as we proceed to exit my wonderfully large room fit for a princess.
Light held. My right hand tightly, obviously nervous about meeting the new folks. So I simply squeeze his small hand for reassurance.
In my left hand I held a handful of my red dress. My long, curly, blonde hair sitting obediently on my shoulders as we walked aroudn the maze of hallways. The walls were dark spruce wood on the top half, before they began to turn into a gorgeous beige drywall.
Family portraits of us peculiars hung on the walls and chandeliers hung every twenty feet from each other, giving the area beautiful lighting.

Finally we make it to the stairs, which were grand enough to be placed in Prince Charming's castle. Slowly but surely we make our way down.
We could easily see the new Ymbrayn speaking to Mr. Condor while her peculiars spoke with our own.
