Secrets Of The Past (1)

"We have to get out of here," said Xion as he took Emma's hand. "Later, some servants will come and they will be surprised to see you. You look too much like your mother."

The young man suddenly fell silent after saying his last sentence. He just realized that Emma had not seen her mother in a very long time, while Xion had only met Arreya a few hours ago so that he could say that Emma was very similar to her mother.

"I-I'm sorry, Emma... I didn't mean to..." Xion muttered awkwardly.

Emma swallowed hard and looked away. She didn't want Xion to see her grieving face again. She felt bad if Xion turned awkward because of her reaction. The man had done so much for her.

"I'm all right," said Emma quietly. "Let's get out of here."

She grabbed a thin scarf from the cupboard and covered her head with it so she wouldn't attract too much attention. Emma then walked out of the room, grabbing Xion's hand.
