Chapter Fifteen

“Tell me more about your dream, Torrian.” Brenna wrapped the blanket around him a bit tighter as she spoke.

“Aye, I fell asleep, but then I woke up right away. I only kenned I was dreaming because I was different.”

“How were you different?” Brenna didn’t know how much more heartbreak she could handle, but listening was the best thing she could do for Torrian right now.

“I did no’ hurt anymore. I did no’ itch and there was nae pain. I looked at my arms and the rash was all gone. I did no’ ken where it went. I was looking at my belly when I heard Mama’s voice.”

“What did she say?”

Torrian tipped his head to stare into her eyes. “Do you believe me, Lady Brenna? Cause Papa thought I made it up when I tried to tell him. He wouldnae even let me finish.”

“Go ahead, laddie. I believe you. Tell me what your mama said.” The important thing was that Torrian believed it, so she wanted him to finish.

“There was this long tunnel with a white light at the end of it.” He rested back against her chest before continuing. “I kept looking down there, but I did no’ see anything. Then I heard Mama’s voice. It sounded like she was at the end of the tunnel. I kept staring and then I saw her walking down the tunnel toward me. Lady Brenna, my mama was so beautiful, she looked just like an angel. She hugged me when she reached me. And I told her I did no’ hurt anymore. She said she kenned it. She told me she couldnae bear to see me in pain anymore, so she had brought me home just for a few moments to help me understand.”

The wee lad turned to look at her, as if to make sure she was taking him seriously. Brenna nodded. “Go on, lad.”

He settled back against her. “She told me I would never hurt when I was in heaven. But she said it was too soon for me to stay there because I had some important things to do yet. Then she asked me no’ to say that I wished to die to Papa anymore. But I told her I wanted to. I told her that it was true, that I did want to die. Does that make me a bad person? It was so nice there, I really wanted to stay. I could walk by myself. I wasnae scart and I did no’ itch or anything, and I miss my mama. She said too many bad things had happened to Papa and he couldnae handle losing me yet. But I told her I wanted to stay with her, and that I did no’ want to come back where I hurt all the time.”

She could feel the hot tears on her lashes and was thankful he had his back to her.

Torrian continued. “I told her how tired the itching makes me, how it keeps me from sleeping or playing.
