I sat on the coach of the living room with Levi's head resting on my lap. He had his arm over his eyes concealing them. I lightly stroked his dark locks of hair, due to boredom. And it seemed that Levi didn't mind as I did so.

Farlan stood up and stretched his limbs. "I'm gonna go for a walk. Anyone wanna come?"

"I do!" Isabel said.

"I'll go." I smiled.

Levi removed his arm and sat up. "Might as well."

Farlan opened the door. "Alright. Let's go."

Isabel jumped and headed out the door. I followed her, while Levi followed me.

We took a walk into town, keeping away from the main parts so the merchants don't throw a fit if they recognize us. We take a few turns here and there talking along the way. We passed a few people, some smiling at us, giving a few waves. It was nice to know some people know us from the things we do for the people.

"Hippiedy hop along the bunny trail!" Isabel skipped.

I giggled. "Bunny trail?"

"Well it feels like the alley way is so small."

"Tch, you one big ass bunny then." Levi said.

Farlan chuckled.

"Levi-bro your so mean!" Isabel cried.

I smiled then suddenly when we turned a corner I recognized this alley way. I stopped in my tracks. How far away are we away from the house? Were probably on the other side of the city.

"Y/n?" Isabel turned her head.

I didn't reply. But began running toward the familiar direction.

"Y/n!"

I ran, I quickly turned a corner and ran down the alley way. Seeing another turn, I went around with it and stopped as I stopped in front of my house. I took a few breaths.

"M-my house..." I said. I took a few steps forward until I heard foot steps. I turned my head and saw as Levi, Farlan and Isabel were catching theirs breathes.

"Y/n there you are." Isabel said.

"Why were you running?" Farlan asked.

"S-sorry. I just..." I turned to the house.

"Who house is this?"

I took a few steps towards the door. "Mine."

Isabel's jaw dropped. "Yours?!"

I opened the door and peeked my head inside. All around was darkness. From the looks of it, no body was in here. So I opened the door completely, revealing the room of when that day happened.
I walked though the house and looked as everything was where it was when I left. I walked over to the kitchen to see the food right where it was when my family was attacked. But what I noticed was the knifes were missing.

My heart sunk alittle. I wanted to break down in despair. My parents are no where to be seen, everything was where it was when I left. They're gone.

I walked over to a door that lead into the room both my parents and I shared. I opened the door as I heard Farlan, Levi and Isabel come in. I closed the door but not fully, I walked over to bed on the ground. I went to my knees and lowered my head.

I could remember the words my parents said to my every night.

Goodnight sweetheart.
Sweet dreams.
I love you.

Those words were everything to me. I just wanted to cry, that's when I felt a tear escape my eye. It's trailed down my cheek and feel to my hand.

"Oi."

I turned my head to see Levi at the door.

I sniffed and wiped my nose with the back of my hand. I turned away from him.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Y-yeah."

"Don't lie to me."

My heart sunk. I broke down into tears. Both my parents are dead. Why else wouldn't they be here? Why else would every hug be in the same palace it's been, even the food? They're dead.
Coming back to my home where I grew up is heart breaking.

Levi bent down on one knee and put a hand on the small part of my back.

I sobbed as I grieved for my parents. I clutched into the sheets of my bed, feeling the material.

Why did they have to take my parents away from me?

After awhile of crying I finally stopped. I sniffed turned my head towards Levi who already his gaze on me.

"Lev--"

He grabbed me and pulled me into a meaningful hug. His arms trapped, keeping mine on my sides.

"I know what your going through Y/n." He said quietly. "You need to hide your emotions from me."

My lip quivered as I felt myself cry again.

"Farlan had gone through the same thing as well. I'm not sure about Isabel, but we all have gone through what your going through. Hell, it's hard, but you learn to let go." He kept his arms around me. "Grieving won't do you any good. I understand if for a couple of days but not forever."

He's right, I've cried for my parents for way too long. But can I not stop, they're your parents. The people who raised you, who fed you, who cared for you, who loved you. Heck they're your flesh and blood. It's hard to let go of my lost parents. I know it's gonna be hard. But like Levi said it won't do me any good if I grieve forever. I love you mom and dad. I will always. Maybe someday I'll see you again.

I sniffed. "I love you."

"...I love you too." He said.

I giggled hide my face in his shoulder. We stayed like this a little longer till he let go slowly.

I gave him a small smile after he pulled away. Let it him know I'm okay.

"You guys done in here?" Isabel said opening the door. "Oh, I thought you guys were getting it on."

"I-Isabel!" Farlan said.

I blushed.

"If we did its none of your business." Levi said.

"Levi." I blushed harder.

"Ewww, I was just kidding." Isabel said.

"Tch."

"Come on guys lets go home." Farlan said.

Levi helped me up and I gave him a smile on thanks. He walked away from me, and slaked out of the room.
I looked all around me and sighed. Well, home, it was nice knowing you. Before I felt something caught my eye. A small black book in the corner where I usually sat when reading. I went over and grabbed the book from the spot.

It didn't have an title printed on the top or on the side. It made me wonder, was this a book I was on a read? I don't know. I held onto the book and left the room.

Isabel, Farlan and Levi waited outside for me outside, as I closed the door. They all smiled at me and we began walking to our home.

I turned back to look at my house one last time. A lot of my childhood memories are in the home, it's were I grew up, but now I must leave with my new family. I always remember it though.

Goodbye home.

I looked down at the book and flipped the pages.
