“It’s okay, momma. I’ve known for a while now.” She reached up and cupped her face. “I just wanted to spend the best year

you and daddy so I didn’t tell you I heard you and the doctor talking about me.” Rick dropped down next to them and hugged

them both to his chest

“It’s going to be alright.” He whispered to them, but I could tell it was to himself. He looked up at me, so ready to believe, and I

nodded.

“I can’t fix it today.” I held out my hand. “But I swear I will fix it.”

Shelly looked at me. “How w can you be

so sure?”

“Magic.” I winked, but she shook her head. I crouched. “I can’t tell you. Not before you are away from here. You can take a vow,

Shelly, but Abby can’t.”

“I won’t tell anyone. I swear.” She looked at me with slightly wounded eyes.

“Oh sweet pea, I never thought you would tell on us. But sometimes, specially same wolves, they can’t help it.”

Rick shuffled closer. “What are the options?”

Shelly slid closer. “Will they hurt her?”

I smiled. “I promise they won’t hurt. But because you are sick and weak.” She looked down. I pushed her chin up with my finger. “We get to use that as a hidden strength.”

“How is that a strength?” She looked at me, confused.

“Option one.” I held up a finger. “I can use magic to erase your memories of this room, but you will have the feeling you loved it here and had fun. It will just seem like you were too tired to remember it fully.” I poked her nose. “Or…I could use magic to seal
