Nova's story episode four

[Darcy Willows]

(as seen by Storm)

I had never known a stronger person than Nova, all through school i had seeen her fight battles that only adults can face but she faced them and won. I was so happy for her when she announced that she was going to be a soldier, i knew the risk though, that it could split us apart. I didnt stop her though, i let her go because i had such strong feelings for her, but i couldnt do that to hetr ot was her dream.

I have never seen her like this though, she doesnt smile, she looks as if she has a constant worry upon her shoulders, all her sparkle has gone from the world , the light is fading from this land and its taking her with it. I had never known my friend Corin to be such a coward, everybody had changed and not necessarily for the best.

'Homeward'
'sounds good'

We rode home, silent, i could tell she was thinking, she usually had something to say. We got to ashelia's house, i couldnt take it any longer, i had to say something to her.


'Nova, whats wrong'
'storm, dont get involved, theres something i have to tell you but this is not the right time, we have other priorities to think of and this isnt one of them, dont say anything at all.

As blunt as usual.

We entered the house, lilith looked at Nova and i saw it then, a single tear leaked from her eye, you could tell eberything was getting to her at last. She shook her head and began to cry, something was geting to her.

Corin entered behind us, her looked crestfallen, he knew that it was time to stand up fo the truth.

He turned up, he smiled at storm and nodded, he turned to me and said "thankyou, i knew i could count on my cousin"

maybe people could come back from the darkness, maybe the heart once broken, could heal, i suppose, the problem is i have never tried to, i have stayed locked away in the past, in my grief for the dead, i forgot the living. my friends had grown so much, they had become warriors, all in their own ways, drawn closer together by advesity.

A blinding white light burst from the cracks around the doorway, i shielded my eyes from the glow, angels, they like to show off.

"do you reckon he can heal her"
"ashe, i know my cousin, he will do anything for her, he loves her"
"there was a time that you were like that"
"dont remind me"
"why are you so afraid nova"
"of what"
"love"
"ashe, losing you lot is what scares me, its what stops me sleeping on a night"

the door creaked open, i didnt know who would emerge from the doorway.

"nova heartsdale, for two years we havent had a phone call or any thing to even hint at you being alive, then youre here being depressed, and im the one whos been on her deathbed"
"mina"
"the one and the only"
"who are you, my mother"

Now to find sunbeam.
