As we head back to the house for the day, I can't keep a smile from my face. People were accepting of me. That never happened back on Earth. Maybe this really could be my home.

"A penny for your thoughts." Charlie bumps shoulders with me.

"Oh, just thinking about how maybe we could really stay here." He mentioned he would be okay with it a few days ago, but I don't know if he was humoring me. I couldn't stay here without him.

"As long as I'm with you, I don't care where I am." He winks at me and taps my nose.

"It's just earlier today felt nice." Am I being crazy? "Maybe I finally found where I fit in."

"You know you can fall from favor as fast as being graced with it." Dax lets out a long sigh and rolls his eyes. "Don't be naive."

Shit, he's right. Am I being unreasonable? The thought of making this place home and then something happening where I feel like an outcast doesn't sit well. I don't want to make such a huge change for it to be just like living back home.

"Oh, stop it." Charlie frowns and scowls Dax's direction. "She's happy here. Why are you trying to ruin it?"

"I'm not." Dax lifts both hands up as if in surrender. "I'm just trying to make sure you look at the whole picture. Yes, you saved a woman with a spell you didn't mean to do, but what if you cause a huge earthquake and ruin part of the city. They could just as easily dislike you again."

Dammit, I wish he'd quick talking. I don't even know how I saved that woman. You'd think to do it, I'd have to know the spell, but my powers did it all. They persuaded me to take the machine and fix it.

Oh my God. I'm a reaper. A terrible thought occurs to me. Yes, I have the artifacts inside me, but at the end of the day, my black power merges with the others. What if I didn't heal her? What if my reaper magic killed her and my healing powers brought her back. Just like Becca.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Charlie's eyes fill with concern, and he tugs me close. "Don't let what Dax is saying get to you. He wants to go back to Earth when it's all said and done."

"Oh, stop it." Dax groans and runs a hand down his face. "That's not it. I'm looking out for her."

"Guys, stop it." Just when things felt like they were settling down, now I'm freaking out. "It's just... how did I save her?"

"You have three powerful artifacts inside you as well as the magic you were naturally born with." Charlie takes my hand and squeezes it. "You just knew what to do."

"But what if I didn't?" I can't admit to him my fears right now. Not out here in the public and not until I'm sure. Maybe Dax is making me paranoid now. But what if it's true? "Maybe we should go talk to her.
