We walked to the dining hall and Hannah kepting up with ideas.


    “I could carry you away with me,” she whispered as we went.


    “So you could spend the rest of your days protecting me from every other creature on this?” I


    asked Looking down at her. “That is far too much responsibility for you to shoulder.”


    “And we would miss you, Ciara,” Christof said softly. I looked back and he appeared hurt. “As I would


    miss you,” I told him squeezing his hand and watching him brighten.


    “So you get to keep her,” Hannah said sounding angry.


    “You will get to see her everyday and talk to her whenever you Like. She is my Mama and I don’t ever


    get to see her again!!!!”

    I could see Little Hannah’s temper re. She was a mighty beast when she was angry. No one wanted


    to see that.


    “Nu-reeh has always said where you settle is up to you,” Damien said.


    “If you settled here perhaps you could arrange with Nu-reeh to visit with her.”

    “The women seem to barter for things,” Christof said, “Nu-reeh would probably trade with you.”


    “To see my own mother,” Hannah spit out.


    “How generous of her.”


    We passed an exit and Hannah looked up at me.


    “I need air, Mama,” she said sharply.


    “I’LL see you in a while.”


    She took off before I could say anything to stop her.


    It crushed me to watch her disappear into the clouds. Futilely a hand reached out in an effort to pull her


    back to me. I had wanted to spend the day with her. We could have talked, perhaps I could have


    helped her ept this. Instead she had run from me and I was too weak to stop her from going.


    “Enough tears, Ciara,” Bane whispered into my ear wiping my cheeks. “The Little one has just gone to


    cool her temper. You know how dangerous she can be.”


    “She talks to us at night,” Kein whispered pulling me along. “She worries for your fragile skin around


    her weapons and you have no sensible fear of her at all. If she has another rage attack, she’s afraid


    she could injure you by ident.”


    Evan tugged at my other hand as he spoke. “You don’t heal like us, she knows this. Let her go


    somewhere and expend her energy safely.”


    We walked the rest of the way to the dining hall and took our seats. The meal was good the men said.


    It had very little vor for me. Despite their assurances, I missed my Hannah. To lose even a moment


    of this borrowed time was too much.


    The whoosh of air brought me back to the present as Hannah Landed beside me. She was grinning


    and seemed much more rxed.
