My legs shook as I walked toward Mama’s grave. Marcus, my first, stalked behind me, unhappy with my insistence on coming here. I didn’t blame him. It was a predictable move, for me. And after this I promised that I would listen to his advice and not put myself at more risk if I could help it. But…
I reached the grave and collapsed to my knees in front of the stone.
“Mama…”
Mama couldn’t answer, of course. Couldn’t hold me the way I desperately needed her to. But Lună’s light caressed my shoulders and I felt her compassion and love for me. Her reassurance.
“Thank you,” I whispered, “I don’t think we’d have survived without your help.”
Only a few hours ago I had been living a relatively normal – for me – life. I had a home, I was starting to fix the mess I had made of things with my sotii, and had hopes of soon finding Clan Lună and reuniting with them.
Now I had no home, was on the run from enemies who attacked me for things that happened when I was still a child, and needed to figure out what to do with the two strangers claiming to be clan who’d shown up on my doorstep right before my enemies.
“I don’t know when I’ll be able to come back…”
