The Yule Ball

Sonia shook her head. "No, You're not. Maik's angry, isn't she?"

Aslan shifted his paws slightly. "No, she's not. Just a little upset." He paused for a moment. "What you saw...it's her memory too. Did you know that?"

Sonia shook her head. "No, I am so sorry, Aslan. I cause so much trouble for everyone."

"That trouble was caused long before Maik even met you. Don't blame yourself for everything." Aslan replied. "What you saw...did it frighten you?"

"A little, since I wasn't there. I couldn't do anything or say anything."

" I think then, you have the smallest notion of how much it frightens Maik." Aslan replied softly. "That memory frightens her more than anything Sonia, and that worries me."

'I should have just gone to the ministry and had them erase my memories." Sonia said sadly.

"No, Maik has to talk to SOMEONE about what happened. Since you are the only other person who possesses that memory maybe you should." Aslan suggested. "One way or another, she has to come to grips with what happened."

"But she was perfectly fine before I happened." Sonia says. "And I'm scared of her." sShe manages a small blush.

Aslan just shook his head, flapping his ears. "No, she wasn't. All you did was expose the problem again. And as for being scared of her...well, alot of people are."

Sonia bit her lip. "I guess I could try." she says. "You sure she won't hurt me?"

"Yes." Aslan laughed. "She won't hurt you. The worst she could do is refuse to talk to you."

Sonia nods. SHe looked around and fixed a small bookbag of stuff. "Okay, would you mind walking bacak with me?"

"Not at all." Aslan said, jumping off the table. "Shouldn't you tell your brother you're leaving?"

Sonia shook her head. "No, He'll just think I'm wondering around the mansion or decided to sleep in some place I just discovered in the back grounds." she says shrugging. "Let's go."

"As you please." Aslan said with a shrug and walked to the doorway. "But in my opinion you should tell him." He said over his shoulder."But then, what do I know, I'm just a cat."

Celia laughs softly. She went towards her brother. "Descares, I'm going go see a friend."

Descartes called tell by Sonia's face not to ask. "Okay, stay safe." he says giving her money.

Aslan flashed Descartes a kitty grin then trotted after Sonia. As they walked down the hallway he accidently on purpose left bits of golden hair stuck to every single piece of furniture to entertain himself.

SOnia giggled when she spotted him doing so. She continued to they were outside the gates.

Aslan sat down and scratched an ear. "So, we going to walk there?"
