She awoke the fallowing morning feeling more exhausted then normal. Dressing and walking threw the house to the small kitchen she put on a kettle to make her morning tea. As the water bowled she moved from the kitchen out the fount door to go sit on the porch. Snuggling down in the rocking chair she closed her eyes but kept her ears alert for the sound of the kettle whistling. But instead she was alerted to the sound of a twig snapping a few yards from her. Cracking one eye open she knowtist that it was a younger spitting image of her self that stood there. Opening her eyes and blinking a few times she realized she wasn't dreaming but it was indeed her daughter. Lily. Her brown hair hung loose and moved with the wind each time it was played with, almost as if the wind was running its fingers threw her hair. Her hazel eyes seemed to be burning a hole in her mother as she stood there just looking at Vivi. Dropping her head to one side Vivi raises her left hand and gestured for her to take a seat. Lily shook her head. Sighing Vivi slipped her tongue out to wet her lips before mumbling, "what is it child?" Th voice that replied sounded almost like hers but was a bit stronger then Vivi's quite voice, "you saw her last night didn't you?" nodding her head in reply she could hear Lily sigh before questioning her once again, "what did she have to say?"
Sitting back farther for a breaf moment before hearing the kettle going off she stood made her way into the house taking the kettle out and pouring the water into her cup. She walked once again outside cradling the cup between her hands, looking up at Lily she simply said, "to tell me that I have more then one flame and it has a purpose..." she watched as lilys lips twitched like hers did when she was annoyed, before she grunted like her father would, opening her hands she made a movement with them. "well lets see it mom." shaking her head vivi looked at her daughter, "I don't yet know how to...." Lily seemed to sigh and then move forward to sit beside her mother. "well lets start training you on how to! come on! Get up off your ass mom!" rolling her eyes Vivi smiled at her daughters antics, "fine fine but at lest let me have my tea...then we will do all the training you want..."
