2.39 Cressida and Lilith

Aella kept quiet. Then Aiden asked again with a more raised voice.

"I-I...." Aella stammered. She then said. "From the girl we found.

"That is call stealing." Aide said.

"No. She was unconscious. She didn't know I took it." Aella said.

"Let's go to mamma."

"No." Aella said, holding the hand of Aiden.

Turning around, he looked at her through his shoulder.

"You stole this. And we need to repent." Aiden said.

"Why should we?" Aella raised her voice. "Didn't you tell, she's not our mother." She then added.

"What do you mean?" Aiden asked.

"If she's not our mother, why should bmwe be loyal to her." Aella said.

"Aella!" Aiden raised his voice.

"What?" Aella said. She then turned him around to look at him. "Listen. We will leave." She said.

"We have no place to go." Aiden said. "And why do you want to leave?" He then asked.
