The Kaiser Manor

Layhava laughed and then slowed to a dull chuckle. "I'm sorry but I just can't explain it. My memory goes back so far that i've....tried to erase that memory but i could never find a memory to replace it...." She frowned, hugging Mortea and Chibi. She then got up.
"I'm sorry but...i'm gonna head to bed...." Layhava frowned once more as she walked away.

Lahava fell asleep to the sound of the piano with Chibi at her side. When she woke up she felt better than ever and wondered around the Greenhouse. She saw the wildlife, flowers, and harvest around her. She then saw a flower in the back that looked like it was dying. Little Layhava fed it water and sat by it all morning. She was soon found out by Sebastian, who was picking some peppers for lunch and when he didn't see her around for breakfast, he thought something was up.

Layhava sighed and nodded. "He's probably firing off some steam or something. Best if we don't bother him. Sorry Chibi he's like that sometimes." She said to the small familiar as she pet it. Layhava didn't want to leave the greenhouse. She thought she could stay here forever. But she knew she had to come out eventually.

She put Chibi on her head and walked out of the greenhouse and stood in a spot away from everything. She took her shoes and socks off and put them to the side then Layhava took in a breath as she let her body heat absorb the heat in air. When she thought she had enough, she channeled all of it to her arms and hands; extending the heat and twirling around. As she twirled, ribbon-like fire extended from her fingers. She danced and twirled like a ballet dancer across the grass.

Layhava danced and sang to a song called "Gee" by Girls Generation and when she heard Mortea come up to her she stopped and fell. She was then lifted up after a brief kiss on her head. "Don't sneak up like that. You could've gotten hurt." She warned him as she looked into his eyes the bushing, she looked away and played with her hair. "W-why are you out here? I thought you were in the firing range." She commented as she felt his gaze upon her and his hands around her small waist. Her stomach growled and her face became more flushed as she awkwardly laughed.

Layhava blushed and nodded as she let Mortea carry her to their quaint little room. She was gently set on the bed and Layhava watched as Mortea asked Sebastian to bring their dinner in the room. As they waited Mortea hopped onto the bed and cuddled with Layhava, letting her hear his heartbeat.

Layhava squished her head into his chest as he snuggled his head around her. She smiled as she felt his warmth. "What do we do now?" She asked him in a sort of mumbled tone 'cause her face was...sorta squished.

Layhava smiled as she had an idea as she slowly moved away from him and blushed a little as her red and gold sundress started to slip from her shoulders. She turned away as she thought it was a little weird. Layhava hadn't been with Mortea in a while.

Layhava thought. "A-a while? I think." She told him in question. Little Layhava didn't hesitate to put her head into his warm chest as he held her. They stayed like that for a while till Layhava spoke up. "Hey....Do you know why I'm afraid of water?" She asked him as she looked up at him. "Its because my father died in the Hargeon sea when I was little. I was staying with my Mother in a hotel nearby when she got a letter from one her friends. I looked at it later and it said, in drunk letters... My little Hava. I'm sorry i'm drunk writing this but i'm dying. I have no food or water left. My air is low. I'd hope to see you grow up to be a great woman of magic like your mother. But alas...This fate had to come one day. I'm sorry my ball of energy. I will miss you.......i Lov u..." 'I cried for the both of us...she hated my father. But even though hes gone. I feel like he gave me this magic..." She told Moartea as she cried.

Layhava shorted her cry and looked up at Mortea and smiled as he held her in his arms. She thought about how he would make her happy then asked: "Can you teach me how to swim?"
She blushed as she then got up and went into the closet to change and headed back into bed with her pink classic nightgown. Layhava crawled by Mortea and pulled the covers over her as she fell asleep hearing what he said to her...

"I love you to..." She told Moartea as she drifted to sleep.

The next, late morning Layhava was in a blue one piece bathing suit with the pattern of a green butterfly on the side of it. She had green floating wings around her shoulders and a floating ring around her waist as she stared at the pool water as Moartea climbed down into the pool.

"I-i don't know about this. Can't i just watch you? I-i'm gonna go read a book. Yea...yea that's what i'll do. I'll go read." She told him obviously giving away the fact that she was nervous.

Layhava kept her gaze on Moartea as he slowly made his way to the shallow end of the pool and walked in with her and sat on the steps with her in his lap.

"Ah...water. Huh?...when did we...?" She asked, her gaze now towards the water. She smiled as then Moartea went down one more step and she clung to him as he did.

"Its...not so bad...not so bad at all..." She told herself but it didn't calm her nerves as much as she liked.

Moartea chuckled as he held Layhava close to his body, making sure she was on his feet. "See, not so bad when I am here to help you, now if it gets too bad, I will be here to comfort you." He said to her, as he pulled his arms around her arms and grabbed her hands, and slowly pulled her off his feet. Letting her his the pool floor, the water reaching to her chest as he went out a few feet, and he smiled. "Okay babe, what I want you to do now is to walk back and forth, this will help you with getting use to the moving part." "Can you do that and walk to me?" He said as he let her hands go and walked out a bit more, as he gave her his smile, "Don't worry, I'll be here to catch you, and keep you safe." He said as he kissed his hand and blew her a kiss, hoping it would give her some comfort.

"Wai-..." Layhava said but she was cut off when Moartea let her go as she waded in the water. Her hair in a bun as she looked down and then back at Moartea, who was waiting for her to take baby steps to toddler steps.

Layhava stood there in her blue swim suit. She gulped as she took a step and the water went from chest to mid-breast as she then put her other foot down to the last step and ninety-percent of her body was now wadded in water. Layhava looked back at Moartea; who was giving an encouraging smile to her as she then sucked in all courage and closed her eyes and took the last step down....

When she did she slipped and hit her head on the steps as a spur of blood came from her head. She sank slowly as she lost consciousness. The last thing she saw was Moartea's distraught face looking down at her as her vision faded.

It felt like forever from when the day she hit her head. No one knew what to do for her. Sebastian came into the room every once in a while to check on Moartea. Every time he did, he seemed so sad. Sebastian wished he could help.

A few days later Layhava's eyes opened finally. She was extremely groggy and her head was pounding. She sat up slowly and looked around to find that Moarta wasn't there. Sebastian was though. The butler was folding and hanging up clothing when he looked at the bed to find that Layhava had finally awoken.

"What happened? Wheres....Moartea?" She asked in a slow and soft tone as she clutched her head and fell back onto the pillow. "Master Kaiser has gone on an urgent job. I'm sorry mistress. I'll bring a pill for you. Please get some rest. I will phone the master once things have settled around the manor." Tanaka said as he walked out of the closet with a handful of hangers for Sebastian. Tanaka set the hangers down and tucked the small Layhava in and smiled as he then went on to finishing the job.

Layhava said nothing. She just looked away. She usually fell for Sebastian's soft eye trick but it seems like she wasn't herself.

"Just-...nothing..." She said, retracting her words as she felt like saying nothing at all and dream this day away.

When she woke up, she found that there was a trey of food and a note. The note read:
~sorry for intruding mistress, but i didn't want to wake you. Lord Moartea sent a note, saying that his job will take longer than expected. He should return in the late hours of the next morn. Please eat something and if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask~ -Sebastian
When she saw this she broke down in tears, eating away her sorrows. Why? She didn't know why she was crying...but she was.
