" you were screaming and crying do you want to talk about it, " the lord said as he patted her head gently

" the only thing I remember was darkness everything was dark... " she paused trying to remember

she looked at him as she was pleading for him to save her from her fears

" it's alright Althea it was only a nightmare " the lord whispered in her ear his soothing voice started to claim her from the inside

suddenly an urgent knock on the bedroom door was heard " stay here I will be back shortly " Althea nodded her head

" Kaname something bad happened, " Takuma said not knowing how the Lord will deliver the sad news to Althea

" what happened, " the lord asked once they entered the library

pulling back the lord kissed her forehead " listen to me Althea I want to be strong no matter what happens " the lord spoke in almost a whisper

blinking her eyes a few times Althea looked at the lord confused " Kaname you scaring me what's going on? " for some reason the lord was acting very strange making her scared

" my apologies, now go and get ready " the lord spoke patting her head

Althea walked towards the bathroom but looked back at the lord before closing the door she couldn't help but feel that something must have happened for him to act this

lady Chou who was sitting in the living room she couldn't stop crying no matter how hard she tried " how she will survive this " the old spoke between her sobs, wiping her tears she looked up hearing the footsteps

" good morning lady Chou, Takuma " Althea greeted them but no one replied she looked at the lord then at the old lady who her eyes were red as if she was crying and Takuma

Althea started to panic she turned to the lord hoping for answers " did something happened to my mother " she asked her voice quivering

taking a deep breath the lord looked at her there was no point of delaying this placing his hand on her shoulders the Lord spoke the words that might end the life that already living inside of her " Althea your mother passed away "

" I want to see her " she suddenly spoke her voice void of emotions

the lord noticed that she was in a shock state her mind is yet to comprehension everything is happening the situation is far worse than he expected it to be
