~~~(POV: Cera Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The Road to The Capital, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 8:50 AM)~~~

Sally is cute when she's embarrassed, but I shouldn't be teasing her too much. "I'm not letting you have any for at least a week!" Well... This is the first time this has ever happened to me. I don't know what to think or feel. I'm not really bothered by that. I've gone the majority of my life without it, and getting cut off now doesn't bother me. Does that make me weird?

Most people hate the idea of being cut off from physical fun, but I'm with Sally because she gives me far more than physical enjoyment and pleasure. She's looking at me, and she's growing frustrated at my relaxed smile. "What do you want me to say? I love being with you, and I get my fill of pleasure without sex." The best way I can describe it is I feel fulfilled just being with her.

There isn't a need for sex, and I still feel the same exact way. I don't know if that's called true love, but it's something better than what most people have. Her reaction surprises me a little. She relaxes and turns her eyes away from mine. "You really feel that way about me?" Her questioning voice makes me smile and even laugh a little.

She looks at me and grows impatient from the lack of an answer. "Yeah, I do." Her face is flushed with redness, and she turns away from me. "Hmm... Judging from your reaction, you didn't know that I felt this much for you... Does that embarrass you? Knowing that I love you that much?" Sally curls up in a little ball and turns her head to me.

Her cheeks are slightly puffed out, and she's trying hard not to react, but I can read her like a book. I scoot closer to her, and I wrap my arm around her. Bringing her curled up form to my side. "Nothing will change the way I feel about you, Sally. I love you because of who you are." I know she's still self-conscious about her past. She'll eventually come to understand that I see past that.

Forcing her to see it won't work. It'll end up hurting our relationship. She buries her face into her knees for a few seconds, and she lifts her head to look at me. "You've shown me... Shown me that you love me despite everything that I've been through... You really love me that much?" Her abusive past causes her to doubt anything sincere. 

It's a defense mechanism, and I take no offense in her asking me this. I understand her, and I comprehend the life she's had, and that's why I don't feel offended to being asked this again. "I'm not perfect, Sally. But the way I feel about you is the only perfect thing I have." My words have a greater effect on her than I thought they would.

Her eyes flash in some sort of shimmer, and that's from the coming tears. She's quick to let the ducts open and start crying. Her features crumple in cute ways as she tries to resist showing me this. "Umm... I don't... What should... How come..." She tries to speak between her hard weeps, and I do what I think is right and hug her.

She buries her face into my neck and starts crying. No longer bothering trying to communicate. Sally is a girl that will always have pain and fear buried away within her, and most men would be scared of that. I'm not, and I'm happy that I get to be here to help her when those moments of pain and fear come out. Cause I know, I'm strong enough to help her.

Sally also helps me when I'm at my weakest moments. Those don't come around often, but she's been there or tried to be there for me. Sometimes, I'd push her away. Not wanting her to see my fears and pain. There are things that I need to learn to do, cause just as I said. I'm not perfect. She hugs me tighter as she lets out harder cries.

~~~(POV: Violet Adamo)~~~

~~~(Location: The City of Gradule, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 10:31 AM)~~~

We're getting closer to our kids, and they're traveling the main road to the capital. We've run into a problem, though. We asked around, and it turns out if you don't have verification and proof of who you are, you're not allowed into Greshina. Knowing Cera and Hailey, they've already found what they needed to get inside. Or who they needed to get inside. 

We have no idea who or what we need this time. We already went to the Hideout that Cera and Hailey were at for a while and asked around, but no one gave up any information. "This is infuriating!! We're so fucking close! But now we're stuck here!!" The anger in me boils over, and the rare cussing version of myself spills out.

Marcus looks at me with a smile and starts laughing, and Chris is doing the same exact thing. Realizing what I've just done overcomes me, and I cover my mouth and sit on the bed. It's been quite a bit of time since I cursed like this. Chris stands from his spot, walks over, and joins me on the bed. We've rented an Inn room until we can find out what to do.

He kisses the side of my head, wraps his arm around my shoulders, and brings me into a sideways hug. "Wow, the last time I heard something like that was when you slapped me for always babying Hailey. Talk about bringing back some funny memories... Times before we were parents..." Slapping him that day was an overreaction. I'm over-emotional, I admit that. 

My anger got the best of me, and it's because no matter how close we get, something gets in the way of catching up to our kids. First, it was the pursuers that chased us after Marcus melted the Border wall. Second, it was covering for the lost ground. Now this time, there isn't anyone to help us get into Greshina, which is where our kids are apparently heading.

I'm trying my hardest here, and I can't help feeling like someone is impeding my progress. Someone that we can't see. "Sorry, Honey... I'm just being overly emotional right now... I'm also sorry again for slapping you that day..." I apologized to him already, but I still feel bad for it. Marcus rolls his eyes at how affectionate we're getting and gets up to leave. We have to stop him.

~~~(POV: 2nd Princess of The Elven Kingdom, Blezikel)~~~

~~~(Location: Bedroom, Royal Palace)~~~

~~~(Time: 11:00 AM)~~~

From everything that Olisandra told me, she had quite the experience down in the castle's lower levels. Speaking to one of our dead ancestors, to be precise. The old King was able to tell her where the hidden passage was, and now we know how to get out of the palace and city undetected. We just need to finish preparing and wait for the best time. 

My thoughts are currently about mom... Despite what she's become, Olisandra and I still love her. It's hard thinking about abandoning her to the path she's chosen. "I know that look, and I feel the same way, but we've already made the decision. It's not the lives we want." My sister's voice takes me from my memories and internal debate. 

She's looking out from the balcony, and I question how she even knew that I was thinking about mom. It's probably because she's doing the same thing, and we're so alike. It's hard, leaving a parent that needs you, but you know if you stay, you'll suffer for it... Suffer far more than a child should from the actions of their parents.
