Renn's POV

***

I late in the morning, after everyone was already awake, and rolled onto my back. Everything from last night flooded in, and I remembered discovering who my mother is, and who my brother is. I placed my hands on my warm face, and breathed out deeply. Today, I would confront them.

I rolled out of bed, and got changed, drosily, and plodded into my very tiny kitchen. I say kitchen, more like a tiny oven with a little fridge. I grabbed some cereal from off the counter, and poured milk all over my cereal, drenching it. I slowely ate, thinking about life and my mother.

After dinner, I had to go and find Leirawalg, and confront her about me, but I wanted to talk to Riz first. But, after he declined me yesterday, I felt uneasy and awkward. He snapped so much at me, he may think I am taking the mick.

Finishing, I climbed out of my pod, and onto the tree branch, walking towards The Crook. Not many people milled around, because most were at work or at school, but I didn't have to do either, because I was still a guest apparently.

I wandered in, and saw Leirawalg speaking. I cringed slightly. I walked up to her, and coughed quitely. She had already turned by the time I was behind her though, her hearing very good. She sadi goodbye to the other person, and turned to me.

"How may I help you?" She said, and I suddenly felt sick. I stuttered.

"Urm, may I speak with you? Alone?" I said, and she seemed to look more alert. She nodded, and lead us throught the trees, and into a small cleaing with a bench in the middle. We sat down, and she looked expectant.

"Well, the thing is I urm..." I trailed off, my heartbeat so load I was sure she could hear it. I breathed in, and out and spoke.

"It's just that, the other day, I found something, something that said something..." I realised I sounded like a total dumb ass, so I started out, and asked her straight out.

"Are you my mother?" She looked at me blankly, in which she didn't speak, nor move her eyes from mine. Her expression didn't change.

"Why would you think that?" She finally said, and I responded, nervous now.

"Well, my name before I came here was Erynriel, and I found the diary of my mother, saying that her daughter was named Erynriel. She was called Glawariel, and thats your name backwards so I kinda thought..." It sounded weak, but I knew it was true.

She didn't move, and didn't speak. But finally, she got up, and left, and didn't say a word. I sat still, dumbstruck, waiting for her to reappear, but she didn't. My mother left me, again. She left me, again. Again. Again.

Tears sild down my face, as I replayed what had happened over and over and over again in my brain, until I was convinced it was just a memory. But it wasn't.

That night, I crept back to my pod, and couldn't see anyone. I turned away Avan's cute flirtacious gestures, and I turned away my own brother, who didn't know I existed. I watched as the sun dipped below the horizon, and the stars shone down through the canopy.

I suddenly missed Legolas, and Maethorhest and Imilda, the people I hadn't even said goodbye to. I felt like who I was was nothing anymore. I dont even know who I am anymore, I am just a shadow. I suddenly felt scarred, scared at how small and insignificent I was, at how small and meaningless I was to everyone.

I was just a tiny elf, trapped in a huge world, were I am a nobody to everyone. I cried softly, but I heard a knock at the trap door. I whipped my eyes, and said "Go away".

"It's me, Renn, let me in please." I could hear Avan's pleading voice, so I got up and unlocked the trap door. He climbed down, and before I could say anything, he huggd me. I hugged back, and cried onto his shoulder, waiting for him to leave me.

But he didn't. He rubbed my back, and whispered.
"Everything will be okay." I nodded, and drew back, whipping my eyes. He smiled, and I smiled back. Something about him made me tingle.

"I like you Renn, you are a good person." He said, and I blushed, and nodded.

"I am not, I leave everyone, and ward everyone off. I repel people." I said, and he drew my chin up. I was aware of how close our faces were, so I looked into his fantasitc green eyes.

"You are beautiful, don't let anyone tell you your not. You will steal hearts, but you will also return them, you will nurture them, and one day, you will love someone as much as I do. I know you may think that the world is against you, that you are tiny, but you are only as tiny as you perceive yourself to be." He said, and I looked at him, awestruck.

I gazed at him, and I felt him inch closer to me. I could feel our bodies beginning to touch, and he wrapped his arm around my waist. I gasped slightly, as he pulled me in.

"I love you, Renn." He then bent his head, and kissed me. I closed my eyes, and imagined the universe, so big and so broad, not being able to see what I was doing, not caring about this. I kissed him back, and it lasted longer than it shouldv'e done, but not too long.

I opened my eyes, and he was gone. The trap door was open, and I closed it, letting the cool air caress my face.
