(Aviva's view)

That evening as we made our way down the narrow alleyway I felt Avian pull at my hand.

"Where are we going?" he asked, as he leaned against me for support.

"I'm taking you guys back to my place." I said, and he looked at me.

"How far are we?" he asked, as he looked at me quickly.

"Not far from the train station, then we'll be there." I said, and he nodded.

"A-Alright." he said, as he continued to lean against me for support.

"We're almost to the train station, just a little longer." I said, as I put my hand over his.

"O-Okay." he said, as we continued to walk down the alleyway.

"We're almost there." I said, and he looked over at me with a weak smile.

"Okay, good t-to know." he said, as he rested his head on my shoulder.

"Just keep holding on to me, we're almost there." I said, and he nodded weakly.

"A-Alright." he said, as he continued to hold onto me for balance.

"We're almost there Avian, just hold on." I said, and he nodded.

 "Okay, but how much longer?" he asked, and I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration.

 "Not much longer, now stop asking me that or so help me I will find the biggest dog you've ever seen then make him dig a hole and bury you in it." I said, and his eyes widened in shock.

 "You wouldn't dare!" he exclaimed, and I simply smirked at him.

 "Try me, dear." I said, as we continued walking. I heard Raven chuckling next to me as we continued walking.

 "That was pretty funny." he said, as he wiped tears of laughter from his eyes.

 "I have to admit, that was quite funny." Kaname said with a soft chuckle. "I suppose it was." I said, as I grinned at my friends.

 "We're here!" I exclaimed, as we arrived in front of the great white mansion hidden amongst the trees.

 I quickly spotted my father standing on the porch with Uncle Kaien. "Dad!" I called, causing his head to snap up and turn in my direction.

 "My darling!" he cried, as he ran past Uncle Kaien then closed the distance between us and scooped me into a tight hug.

 "Aviva, my baby." he whispered, hugging me closer as he cried.

 "Where did you go?! I was worried that I'd lost you." He sobbed, as he kissed all over my face before holding me at an arms length.

 "I'm sorry to have worried you." I said, hugging him again letting my own tears fall down my cheeks.

 "It's alright sweetheart, just promise me you won't ever scare me like that again I was worried that I had lost you the same way as I lost your mother." he said, as he stroked my hair affectionately.

 "I promise," I said, and I felt him kiss the top of my head.

 "I love you, daddy." I mumbled into his shoulder.  "I love you too, baby." he replied, as we pulled away before turning to the others with a smile.
