Avery sighed and snuggled closer to Maya. She had woken a few minutes ago and felt much better. Maya kissed the top of Avery’s head. “Do you feel better?”

“Yes.” She smiled at her little sister and nestled her head back on Maya’s shoulder.

“Avery, did you heal Tristan’s mother last night?” Maya asked softly.

Avery nodded and Maya sighed harshly. “Why did you do that Avery? After what she said to you – you should have let her die.”

Avery sat up and stared at her in shock. “Maya – I had to.”

Maya shook her head angrily. “No, you didn’t Avery. He did not ask you to heal his mother. You could have - should have - let her die. With his mother dead, you may have had a chance with Tristan. Why did you heal her?” She began to smack Avery repeatedly on the arms.

“Maya, stop it!” She grabbed her sister’s hands and squeezed them tightly. “I had to! Don’t you get that? I could not stand to watch Tristan, or Sophia, suffer the way we did after our father died. Not when I could save her.”

“Oh Avery.” Maya began to cry and Avery wiped her tears away roughly.

“Stop crying Maya. Everything will be fine. Don’t – “

The door to the nursery opened and Tristan shot into the room. He stared at Avery, “Did you – you healed her didn’t you?”

Before Avery could reply, Sophia sat up in her small bed. “Papa?” She looked at him with alarm, tears beginning to slide down her cheeks.

“Is grandmamma dead?”

He shook his head. “No, my love. Your grandmother is feeling much better today.”

She grinned through her tears and then held her arms out to him. “Take me to see her papa.” She demanded.

He picked her up and she flung one thin arm around his neck. He looked at Avery and Maya still huddled together in Maya’s bed.

“Thank you.” He said hoarsely before carrying Sophia from the room.
