Elijah's eyes widened and sparkled when a brown long-haired girl opened the house with brown big eyes.

Maybe that was Sebastian's mother, he held his breath and then murmured, "are you miss Steward?"

Elijah's eyes widened and sparkled when a brown long haired girl opened the house with brown big eyes.

Maybe that was Sebastian's mother, he held his breath and then murmured, "are you miss Steward?"

The brunette lady shook her head, "no, baby. She is dead, I am her sister." She replied, Elijah took a resigned breath he was tired and drained out of energy. Moreover, it was starting to get late, and the chances of his relatives getting in his room and finding out he wasn't there increased minute after minute.

"I am sorry," Elijah replied, he offered a sad smile and finally speeded back home.

Roselyn was still playing with Felicity and John was busy taking care of some matters. He still had some more minutes to speed one last time.

luckily the third address wasn't so hard to find, he took him about a quarter of an hour, the house he reached was a small cottage in the countryside, it was very minimalist yet simple in its details.

As soon as he walked toward the house a dog's bark echoed from afar and reached the door.

Elijah took a few steps backward, he immediately got preoccupied the dog would smell his supernatural nature or would try to attack or harm him.

as soon as the door opened contrary to his expectations to and luckily the dog was small side and started to lick Elijah's shoes. 

He smiled and petted the dog then he moved his gaze back to the lady who opened the door, she was red-haired and had green eyes so there were no chances she was the right person Elijah looked for.

His eyes filled with tears, he was so tired and sad for not having found anyone matching the description.

"I am looking for miss Stewards," Elijah said in a low voice almost resigned at the idea that the lady wasn't the right one and already turning around to leave.

A middle-aged woman came opened the gate and walked toward the door holding a basket full of strawberries.

"she is miss Steward!" The woman who opened the door earlier screamed and Elijah turned around.

his gaze fell on the woman who was carrying the basket, she was dark-haired and had brown eyes, her face was diamond-shaped and her body was petite.

"miss Steward?" Elijah asked walking toward her.

the woman nodded handing him the basket, "I went to harvest, do you want some strawberries?" 

Elijah nodded to the short woman, he picked a strawberry, "thank you." He whispered.

Elijah was speechless, he almost didn't want to ask her about Sebastian because he felt he wasn't ready to bear another failure.

The woman invited him in and made some tea for him, she didn't have visitors in a long time and she was just surprised and curious to know why that kid would walk all the way to find her.

"Why are you looking for me?" she finally asked heading him a chocolate biscuit.

"I've met an amazing child, he is a great boy with a kind heart and a wise mind," Elijah said, smiling as he remembered Sebastian and their special friendship.

The woman nodded, not fully understanding what that saying had to do with her. Sebastian paused for some instants, he took a deep breath and cleared his voice, "but he is an orphan, and I am looking for his parents."

The woman, dropped her jaw, the hand she had on her cup started to shake and her face grow paler.

"I found his parents' last names and..."

The woman gestured before Elijah could finish his explanation, "it can't be...I forgot about him, I thought he was..."

The woman swallowed down and Sebastian saw a glimpse of hope, "I don't know if you're the woman I am looking for but if you are. I think he deserves to know the truth."

The woman sighed, she stirred with a spoon the tea and mixed it with some herbs.

When she felt ready she darted her gaze back on Elijah and offered him a shy smile, "I had a son about ten years ago, I was young back then and the father of the baby didn't want to keep it and I wasn't ready to grow him alone on my own. When he was born I left him in an orphanage, filled the papers, and then left." Her eyes filled with tears, she probably felt guilty for the events and her hast decision.

"I had thought about him every day since that day, every night before going to sleep, and every morning when I woke up. But one day I started to think about him less and less until I forgot about him and the mistake of giving him up." She swiped away the tears on her cheek and took some sips of her tea.

"It may be my friend..." Elijah murmured, "would you accept to meet him?" he asked

The woman leaned her head over her hands and cupped her chin in a thoughtful expression, probably considering the pro and cons of having to deal with the past after so many years.

Then finally she nodded, "yes," she said, "but I have to find the father first, let me look for him a few days and let's meet on Monday in the back of the village's orphanage where I left him."

Elijah couldn't be happier to hear that, he nodded and smiled with all his face, "sounds good!" he exclaimed, for the joy he jumped down of his chair and ran to hug the woman tightly. 

He finally did it, he finally found Sebastian's parents.

After saying goodbye to the woman and thanking her for having talked to him and having shared her past with him, Elijah finally speeded back home.
