ZAIA.

He shrugs, looking at me as if I had just accused him wrongly.

“I don’t know,” he says, feigning innocence as he turns when Sia comes into view. “Sia is causing problems.”

Mhmm, I’m sure that is as far from the truth as possible.

Her long auburn hair is in a high ponytail, and she’s all dressed and ready for the journey. She’s wearing a tweed white dress with black collars and tights. On top of it, she’s wearing a white fur coat with a matching hat.

“Mommy, he real-” she begins, but just then the doorbell rings, interrupting her. “Dad!” Sia turns her eyes, lighting up with excitement.

She runs to the door and so does Xander and I smile at Zion, who remains in his spot, despite the excitement in his eyes.

“I’ll go get your bags.”

He takes hold of my arm and tilts his head. “It’s Christmas. You should say hi at least, Mom.”

My heart skips a beat as I look into his piercing blue eyes, and I nod. “True, I will, don’t you worry.”

I don’t avoid him, but I need a moment to gather my emotions.

It’s hard though. Looking at Sebastian makes my heart become a frenzy, surging with powerful and intense emotions. I haven’t seen him in a while, but I’ve noticed over the last two years, that every time I see him, the pain and the bad memories no longer come to mind and that scares me because I don’t know how to react to that.

I know what it means… I have forgiven him, forgiven him for the broken trust.

It took me a lot of time to get to where I am now. After what happened, I was more closed off and was always on edge. Far more paranoid than I thought I would be.

Even sending the children to school made me so anxious, although they had trusted guards on the school premises throughout the day. Yet, I was still panicking and counting the hours until they got home in the evening.

I would check if Zade was indeed still locked up, always double-checking the locks and the windows several times before bed. The entire thing took a toll on me, but as the years passed, it became easier and I began to relax.

Remembering better times when things were safe. We are safe, despite the issues with the humans, we are doing ok. With the passing years, I began to remember the things I loved and the hobbies I had cast aside.
