ZADE.
Confusion ripples throughas I look at the older man before me.
Why is he here? Do I turn and walk away? There are kids present and Valerie was shouting, but she seems fine. But I still turn to her just as she walks over to me. "Zade..." "Why were you shouting?" I ask quietly as she places one hand on my chest, holding a mug of tea in the other, concern clear on her face.
"Are you..." she trails off. "The triquetra healed Sia. Medication might not help Shelby and Ada, but I think if we can channel what healed Sia, maybe we can heal her..." she trails off when she's met with silence.
"Zaia has tried to replicate that a few times, but there's no harm in us trying combined," Sebastian says, coming up the stairs, the Menace right behind him, his piercing eyes fixed onagain.
"It's the one-eyed cyclops!" The Menace says pointing atand earning a frown from Sebastian. "Xander," he warns.
"I do agree that we can try. We should exhaust all avenues," Atticus says. Hugh nods, patting Atticus's shoulder.
I don't look directly at Hugh, but I see him close the door to the bedroom. "On that note, there is something I want to discuss with all of you," he says.
"Then let's go downstairs. Mom's just fallen asleep," Atticus suggests.
"I wanted to do sbloods," Valerie says, her hand still on my chest.
