Cresil continued to glare at her and nodded. "Very well, the kitchen...now." he ordered and walked off to the kitchen were he sat at one of the tables and looked at Vixen. "No then...go ahead and answer all my questions I asked you." he said quietly and softly as he waited for her to answer the many questions he had asked her.

Vixen sighed as she placed the dishes in the sink then turned to Cresil and thought of the best ways to answer his questions. "Okay first, one of the people at Mela's party knew of a way to bring someone back to light and could sense spirits, it came up to Mela when they were playing outside and the person looked up at Eofe's window. Mela came to me and Valefar earlier today and told us about this and the person offered to try and bring Eofe back... we knew that everyone had missed Eofe after she died and Valefar, nor I had ever really had the chance to get over her death, we never even talked about it especially after Mela was born, we only spoke of her once while we were thinking of names. When we heard that there was even a slight chance... even just a little... we jumped at the thought... we didn't want to tell anyone that she was back though until she was feeling well enough to move around... so I've been taking care of her all day and checking on her whenever I wake up." she explained and you could tell she couldn't help but still feel a little responsible for Eofe's death even after all these years and everyone who cared about her telling her it wasn't her fault... well she had never heard that from Cresil or Usha but that didn't really change anything either.

Cresil listened with intense interest and frowned as he nodded. "Yes, my son has never been able to get over her death...it's no surprise that he would take the slight chance of having her back with him." he started and thought for a bit before looking at Vixen seriously. "So then...no one knows she's even here? I suppose that I am the only one that's seen her and I'm guessing you'd like me to keep my mouth shut of what I saw and not tell anyone?" he guessed. Cresil wasn't one to take orders from anyone, but seeing how ill Eofe was, keeping quiet until she was better was probably the best and wisest choice.

"Well... no you're not the only one, Mela knows and so does Lillia, the woman that we came back with, she actually helped us get Eofe back into the castle without anyone seeing, also I've been having Sinz and Souls take turns watching Eofe and checking on her while they aren't watching Nixy. Lillia has sworn to keep her mouth shut about it even to her husband, the girl that brought Eofe back has only told her mother and I have promised to keep her a secret, Mela won't say anything to anyone of course and Sinz and Souls won't say anything of course, so yes, if you wouldn't mind it would be best if no one else knew about this, me and Valefar are the only ones that even have a key to her room now and that is to make sure that no one bothers her while she's recovering." Vixen explained softly and hoped that Cresil wouldn't say or do anything since it was very important to her and Valefar that Eofe stay alive, especially for Valefar so he could have the woman back that he saw as his mother.

"Understandable. I'll stay quiet, It seems like the wisest choice really. I want my son to be happy, and I know that he wouldn't be happy if I told anyone about Eofe." he whispered quietly before making himself a glass of warm milk. "You have my word as King to keep Eofe a secret, I hope she gets better soon, Valefar must be very happy to have her back." he assured and smiled softly. Valefar continued sleeping but stirred in his sleep. "No...no....GIVE HER BACK!" he cried out before quickly bolting upright, eyes wide in fear. Looking around his room, he noticed Vixen was gone and began to panic.

Vixen smiled and nodded before bidding Cresil a good night and headed back to hers and Valefar's room only to hear him cry out and rushed into the room then calmed when she saw he was okay and shut the door before she went over to him and wrapped her arms around him. "Valefar, love are you okay?" she asked softly and lovingly.

Valefar was breathing heavily and looked over at Vixen when her arms wrapped around him. Instinctively, he touched her face and held her close. "It was....just a nightmare." he whispered and looked into her eyes. "I'm just glad you're okay love..." he added and frowned as he thought of the nightmare and how the angels took Vixen away from him.

Vixen frowned softly and stroked her fingers through his hair softly and lovingly. "Are you sure you're okay? You've been having quite a bit of nightmares recently it seems." she asked softly and worriedly as she kissed his cheek softly.

Valefar frowned and rubbed his face carefully before staring at the wall of his room then at her. "I know love...but I'm sure it's nothing. I mean...I dont' think they mean anything." he answered and kissed her cheek softly before lying back down in bed and staring at the ceiling.

"I know they just worry me is all." Vixen said softly before laying down and cuddling close to Valefar and wondered some if she should go ahead and tell him about his father or not.

Valefar sighed and held Vixen close before looking at her. "I need to get some sleep...though at this rate I know I'll be a grumpy demon in the morning." he stated and looked into her eyes. "Something is on your mind, what is it love?" he asked her softly. "Please don't be afraid, you can tell me anything." he reminded.

Vixen smirked and nuzzled him softly before sighing. "You know me so well, okay.... but you can't get mad because I didn't mean for it to happen... your father knows that Eofe is back alive, for a few minutes he was irritated with me but then he calmed down and said he wouldn't say anything to anyone until she was better and we told everyone that she was back." she said softly and hoped that Valefar wouldn't get too upset about it.

...but you can't get mad because I didn't mean for it to happen... hearing this, his eyes narrowed and he propped himself on one elbow as he stared at her. "What did you do?" he asked and listened to what she was saying and widened his eyes. "So my father saw her?!" he asked and sighed. "Well, at least he promised not to say anything. Let's just hope he keeps his promise, I don't need anything to happen that might stress out Eofe and get her worse." he muttered quietly.

"I'm sorry love... I should have been more careful... he must have gotten up right after I left the kitchen with some water... but he didn't go in her room... he saw me taking care of her and then stopped me at the door but didn't say anything until after I had closed the door... I think he could tell Eofe was still sick and didn't want to wake her up and take a chance on making her worse... I think he knows that it means a lot to you that she's back and I don't think he wants to upset you again." Vixen said softly before touching Valefar's cheek lovingly as she looked at him and hoped he wasn't upset with her.

"Oh? So now it turns out that he doesn't want to hurt me?" repeated Valefar before chuckling and leaning into Vixen's touch. "I'm not mad love...I could never be mad at you. It was an accident and accidents happen, please don't worry love it's okay." he assured and pressed a soft kiss to her lips before grinning and running his fingers through her hair. "No need to fret love, I promise it's okay. Now then, let's get some sleep shall we?" he suggested.

Vixen smiled some happily before she nodded and kissed Valefar lovingly before nuzzling his chest and soon fell back asleep in his arms but was ready to get up if she heard the bell or Duchess.

Valefar kissed her back softly and snuggled closer to her after pulling the covers over them to stay warm. Watching her sleep, he smiled and kissed her forehead before closing his eyes and quickly falling to sleep.

Later in the morning Vixen yawned as she slowly awoke at the normal time but decided to stay in bed a while longer to cuddle close to Valefar and love on him for awhile.

Mela smiled as she awoke and got dressed before happily leaving her room after putting some of her old toys in a pile that later a maid would come to put in a bag. She then walked along with her pets, all but Duchess who was laying outside Eofe's room and headed down to the dining room wondering who all was up already.

Valefar woke up a few minutes and groaned as he turned away from the window and pulled the sheets over his face. "Morning..." he muttered tiredly, knowing that Vixen was now awake. He was confused as to why she was still here with him and not with Eofe, but he was happy to have her close to him.

Vixen smiled as Valefar awoke and hugged him before sitting up and kissing his cheek "Good morning love." she smiled softly before she slowly got up and got dressed. "I'm going to go check on Eofe okay?" she smiled as she moved back over to him and kissed him softly on the lips knowing he wasn't a morning person but always loved to kiss him either way.

Valefar sighed softly and kissed her back on the lips gently before nodding at what she said. "Okay then..." he whispered and let her leave as he remained curled up under the sheets tiredly. He hated the feeling he was feeling at the moment. It's so childish...but inevitable I suppose. he thought to himself as he tried to go back to sleep and failed. He was back to Sharing Vixen...and he hated it, but he put up with it because it was all worth it in the end. "I hope Eofe gets better soon..." he muttered before getting up and slowly getting dressed, then dragged himself down the stairs as he headed to the dining room.

most of the maids and both Sinz and Souls were already both in the kitchen and dining room, some eating with Mela who was sitting and chatting away happily with her guardian and others both cleaning and setting out plates and bowels. When Vixen came down into the kitchen no one second guessed her and just left her alone as she took two helpings of some light breakfast food and tea and a few other drinks, of course they thought she was taking the food to Setta but what they didn't know was that Sinz had already taken both her and Nixy food already. Vixen smiled as she lightly knocked on Eofe's door before opening it, going inside and closing it again then headed over to the table and set the tray down.

Valefar walked into the dining room and quickly sat down at his seat before poking at his breakfast, not sure if he was even hungry or not. I hate mornings...I hate them just as much as I hate angels...maybe even more. he thought to himself. Eofe yawned softly and looked over at Vixen with a small smile as she entered the room. "Hello Vixen dear, good morning. How did you sleep?" she asked her softly.

"Good morning Eofe, I actually slept very well, would have been better if I hadn't have been nearly scared to death last night though." Vixen smiled then muttered the last part. "What about you? How was your first night back?" she asked with a bright smile. "Oh and what would you like to drink? I have orange juice, milk, tea and some kind of jeice mix tht one of the chefs must have came up with this morning." she smiled not minding if she asked about what happened last night or not.

Eofe smirked having herd that muttered last part. "What scared you nearly to death last night?" she asked and thought for a bit. "Some milk will do just fine dear, now sit and let us eat, but please tell me what happened?" she instructed softly before listening to her question. "It was lovely, very peaceful. I have to admit that I missed the silence that fills teh house when everyone is sleeping, I missed being around all of you." she answered happily.
