Serenity started to cry as she jiggled the door handle.
"It won't budge!" she cried. "Mommy!" she wailed. She started to bang on the door.
"No!" Ryou said, grabbing her by the waist.
"Let go!" she yelled.
Ryou grunted as he turned around & put her down, covering her mouth.
"You have to be quiet!" he hissed. "It's 10 o'clock and you're going to wake all of France up with your yelling and screaming."
Serenity rubbed her eyes. Though she tried to stop them, tears were streaming down her face.
Good Lord! She's only 6 years old, and has just been separated from her mother, and I'm scolding her! he thought miserably.
//Kind of makes you feel guilty, eh lad?// Norin chucked.
Ryou frowned. He hated being questioned of his guilt by this... thing.
When all settled down, Ryou gently took Serenity by the hand. he kneeled down to look into her eyes.
"Now then love, I'm sorry" he said quietly, reaching up to brush away the tears.
"I'm scared, and sleepy, and..." her voice trailed off.
Ryou nodded. He knew she was scared for her mother.
"Hey, ye're mum's going to be alright, love, I promise. That's why she asked me to take ye, so ye'll be safe. Aye?"
Ryou smiled at her confusion.
He always felt that if he were in this type of situation, he would speak in Irish, his mother's native tongue.
I miss you Mum, he thought. You too, Tea.
He wondered what they were doing now. He also wondered if his Egyptian step-father, Tea's father, Anule, had been released from his confining cell in Egypt.
Ryou thought it disgusting how his father chose to separate Tea's parents, so he could have their mother.

After they were happily married, Anule & Auma had been together on their honeymoon night.
Unfortunately, before they had met, Ryou's father Daniel, had been Auma's guardian on the expedition, & had threatened to send her back to Ireland, or worse, if she had escaped from him.
Coincidentally, Anule had been spying on Daniel and had been attracted by Auma O'Neil's coughing.
Anule had 'kidnapped' her and taken her to his home.
Then for that night and three months later, she had stayed with him and his family.
They had fallen in love and married.
When they were on their honeymoon, Daniel and his men had found them together.
Daniel, out of fury, had had Anule taken away to an Egyptian prison.
But Anule wouldn't go without a fight.
He ranted and raved and screamed and kicked, like a child being taken away from a favorite toy.
Auma had screamed and cried, trying to get up to get to her husband.
Daniel had grabbed her first by her arm, and then by the scruff of her gown, and threw her to the floor.
As Daniel had told Ryou later, he had attacked her, making true to his promise.
Auma, being a Christian, had felt shamed and had flown to Pennsylvania, where she gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Ryou Josiah, 9 months later.
When he was two, she had flown back to Egypt and had been able to see her husband.
She had told him about Ryou, feeling shamed all over again.
Anule had held her and told her to never blame herself for being attacked. After all, they were Christians, & the only thing they could do was forgive. Daniel would have his day with the Lord.
Sometime later, Auma had flown back to Pennsylvania again, and 9 months later, had given birth to a healthy baby girl, Tea.
She had been overjoyed and sent word to Anule.
He had sent her a love letter back, saying 'I wish I could see my young children'.
Auma had been overjoyed, and thankful that he'd accepted Ryou as his own.
"It won't budge!" she cried. "Mommy!" she wailed. She started to bang on the door.
"No!" Ryou said, grabbing her by the waist.
"Let go!" she yelled.
