Chapter 10

"Why did she start bleeding?"
"Noah..."
"It doesn't make sense!"
"Noah... the spell didn't do it, and neither did anyone else. We know why."
"B-but she promised. She promised she wouldn't do it again. She was getting so much better."
"What did Mom promise?"
"Yeah! We want to know!"

They turn to the kids and look to each other nervously.

"That's really something your mom should tell you."
"Well, you're our dad! We're her children, we have a right to know!"

They all turn to Noah. He was stammering, and a little unnerved.

"Kids... your mother used to be in a really bad place. One day... she decided to make a terrible decision. We stopped her just in time."
"What would've happened if you didn't stop her?"
"You two wouldn't be alive."

Their eyes widen and they look at their mom.

"But she's the strongest person we know! She wouldn't..."
"She was too strong. That's why she cracked."
"No... she wouldn't leave us! Right?"
"Solar..."
"She wouldn't do that!"
"Solar..."
"SHE CAN'T!"
"Solar... we both know the truth."

Sunrise gripped her sibling's shoulder. She was on the verge of tears.

"Calm down. We can't escape the truth."
"I don't want to believe it."
"Me either. M-me either."

They hug each other, both trying their best not to cry. They didn't want to see their mother like this, they didn't want to know how she cracked. But they had to.

"Come on, let's get out of here."

Noah picks them both up and carries them away.

"You guys deserve it."
