-Lila-

I gripped my chest tightly as I violently coughed. My chest ached and my throat burned, black glowing liquid splattered from my mouth only to evaporate when it hit the ground.

Letting out a small sigh I leaned back a bit coiling my tail around the ceiling beam I sat on. I shuddered slightly as the rough yet cold wood on the wall pressed against my wings.

This feels nice...

"You're still burning up Lila," Marta said softly.

I felt a small smile spread across my face as I looked at her. Marta's form was see through, the low light of the ether lamp giving her ghostly form a small white glow despite the dark ether that streaked her skin.

When I saw her appear in front of me I legitimately thought I'd gone mad.

"How do you know that I have a fever if you can't touch me," I countered, my words slurring together more than I would've liked.

Marta sucked in air through her teeth making a small tsk of disapproval. Her violet eyes narrowed as she looked at me as though I was a misbehaving child.

"Lila, go to sleep. You desperately need rest,"she ordered.

I snorted slightly only to regret it a bit when my chest throbbed. Wincing I spoke softly, " I don't need sleep though. We don't need sleep."

"I don't need sleep, you however very much do Lila," Marta corrected me.

I barely forced back a yawn as I spoke, "I can't sleep, I have to make sure Sorey is okay."

"Lila-"

"Please," I whispered. "My memories just came back. I just...I want to see him. Really see him, it'll only take a moment or two Marta."

Marta stared at me, a gentle scowl on her face. "Sorey would want you to rest as well Lila."

"I... I know," I told her, a slight smile on my face. "Sorey always was kind of a brat. But at least he can't call me a kid anymore."

She let out a low hum as she folded her legs beneath herself, her long red and white dress draped over her legs.

Even though she was silent I could feel Marta's eyes on me. It was an odd feeling, as though I was being watched from every angle.

"Hey...Marta?" I asked slowly.

"Ah! Sorry about that, I just wanted to make sure you didn't fall or anything," she told me hastily in an embarrassed tone.

"It's fine," I mumbled. My vision was blurry and the room started to spin. "Marta...if I find my family would you leave me?"

"Eh? No, of course not Lila. What brought this on?" She asked her eyes wide.

"I was just wondering. I recovered my memories of Sorey and Cheria, but even still it feels like a piece of myself is missing. I was beginning to wonder that if I did have a family out there they either then they're either dead or..." I trailed off as I rambled softly. "They abandoned me," I whispered.
