Chapter Fifteen

The next day when Abby woke, Aengus was nowhere to be found. She remembered how he had held her while she cried and thanked God for blessing her with such a man. She stared at herself in the mirror and was amazed that some of the bruises from yesterday had already faded away. Myria truly was amazing. She took a deep breath and did her best to move on from the truth of what had happened to her parents. There was nothing she could do to bring them back or change it, so the only thing left now was to get revenge against those who harmed them. And she would get her revenge. They would all pay for what they had done. Not just to her parents, but to Isleen as well. And for what Caipre had done to her all those years ago.

It was time to stop burying her head in the sand, the problem wasn’t going to solve itself she knew, so she might as well find a way to fix it.

The knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

“Come in!” She yelled as she came out of the bathroom.

“I got the green light from the doc to be out of bed.” Sheamus limped in and sat in the chair next to the bed.

Abby sat on the edge of the bed and smiled at him.

“How are you feeling?” His eyes were both black and he had multiple cuts on his face. His entire left leg was splinted so he wasn’t able to bend it. She saw the pain in his eyes as he moved and her heart ached. It was her fault that they had been out, he had gotten hurt because they were after her. Yet another reason she wanted revenge.

“Alive. Thanks to you.”

“I didn’t do anything Sheamus, if it hadn’t been for Aengus and Myria, then neither of us would be here.”

“I do not deny that.” He narrowed his eyes at her, “But I wouldn’t even have had a chance had you not kept that bastard away from me. I may not have been aware the entire time, but I came to enough to know that you kept him from shooting me. You almost went with them, would have I imagine, if Myria and Aengus hadn’t shown up.”

The tears she had managed to keep back that morning threatened to fall. “I couldn’t let them kill you Sheamus, you had done nothing wrong.”

“Neither had you.” He leaned forward and held her hands. “Thank you, Abby. It had been an incredibly stupid thing to do,” he smiled now, “but thank you.”

She leaned forward and kissed his bruised cheek. “You would have done the same for me.”

“How are you doing?” Smile gone, he looked at her and studied her expression.

“I’m alright, healing quickly, thanks to Myria and her magic.” She smiled reassuringly.

“That’s good, but I’m not talking about physically. I heard what she said to you, Abby. I know Annie killed your parents.”

“I’m angry.” She gritted her teeth with the words.
