Jane sat on the metal bed with her feet dangling above the stone floor. She wasn’t certain that Luther believed her. In fact, she was thinking it was more likely he was going to try and “fix” whatever had gone wrong with her.

She had gone about this the wrong way. Telling him that the stories that had terrified them as children were true had likely been too much. Luther wasn’t the kind to believe in stories like that.

If she had told Willow, the little girl would have instantly believed her. Willow had always been one to believe in an adventure.

Instead, Luther had ignored every time she tried to tell him that she needed help. He continued to pat her on the arm or shoulder and tell her that of course he was going to help her. They just needed to stop somewhere first.

That somewhere was a hospital.

Luther said he wanted her to get checked over just to make sure that she hadn’t hurt herself on the way here. Somehow, Jane highly doubted that.

She swung her feet above the ground. She was halfway here.

The goblins were likely angry with her. She had slipped away from them in the early morning and spoke with the guard. When she had told him her family had been brought here without her, the man seemed to have a bit of sympathy flash in his eyes.

Jane didn’t have time to rush back to the goblins and let them know she was going inside the City. They could see her from where they stood in the back of the crowd.

So she waved and disappeared inside the stone walls. They would simply have to figure out a way to survive during the day and wait for her to come back.

They had trusted her this long. They could trust her for a few moments longer.

“Jane!”

Willow burst through the door and clambered up into Jane’s laugh.

Unlike the previous greeting of siblings, both girls burst into laughter as they tumbled backwards on the table.

They both spoke over each other, loudly exclaiming how happy they were.

“Willow! You’ve grown you little rat!”

“I knew you weren’t dead I told them!”

They held onto each other with hysterical laughter bursting forth from their chests. They couldn’t seem to stop the happiness the gurgled inside of them. Neither had forgotten that the other was strong enough to handle whatever had been tossed in front of them.

Finally, Jane sat back with her sister still seated in her lap. She brushed a strand of yellow hair away from Willow’s face.

“You’ve done well for yourself. I didn’t know you even had freckles.”

“I know! They were always hidden by dirt!”

The little girl giggled. Swiftly following the laugh, her brows drew down into an angry line.

“Why are you here?”

Jane blinked slowly at her. “To visit you.”

“No you aren’t.” Willow leaned back enough to cross her arms and stare up at her little sister. “You came back for a reason or you wouldn’t be here.”

“Perceptive as always.” Jane muttered as she stared down the sister that was glaring at her.
