Lafiel Tarrant

[Lafiel]

Lafiel woke up with a sudden jolt into conciousness she heard the echo of her voice ring out Sophia's name around the room. Her eyes focused and she realised she was staring into her fathers face which was a ghost of its strong features his eyes looked haunted with deep sadness and as if he had been crying. She felt a gentle comforting hand on her forehead as her father sat next to her on her bed. She reached up with her left hand to touch the cheek of her fathers sorrow stricken she spoke softly, "I have a sister? Were is Sophia father?" Her fathers face clouded as a mask resumed encompassing his features his face was filled with concern and care as he replied, "It's alright my daughter you were just having a bad dream." Lafiel's face contorted with annoyance as she spoke, "I have a..." Lafiel's expression went blank as she realised she had forgotten what she was thinking even though she felt like remembering it was of extreme importance that she spoke to her father about it she let her arm drop down as she lay there puzzled at her loss of memory. "It's alright my dear you were just having a nightmare your safe go back to sleep. Shhh..."
Lafiel felt herself giving in but she felt cold inside now and full of worry and concern she would have to track down Oliver he seemed to have some clues. She raised herself up till she could give him a kiss and a hug good night it's something that had always happened in their family it always brought great comfort and seemed to make sleep come easier. She felt her eyes close as she lay back and drifted off to sleep.

The Marquis knelt his head and kissed her on the forehead once he was satisfied she was asleep he face gave way to sorrow as he remembered so much it was apparent to him that Lafiel's mind was getting much more stronger as the memory blocks that had been put in were obviously failing on the sub concious level it would not be long he imagined till she remembered everything which left him with a hard decision to make tell Lafiel everything early and bring the blocks to a close prematurely as she was older now much older and she would be more able to cope with the knowledge or he could try to hold off till the blocks gave out completely though he imagined it would be a lot harder to cope with and stressful than to be slowly eased in.
He slowly stood up from sitting on the bed as not to disturb his daughter and wondered off in the direction of his study were to is extreme shock the photograph was missing from his desk he immediately turned to the console in his desk and punched in an emergency line making contact with Oliver.
