feeling any better?” Shaley asked. Emma sat down on the end of Shaley’s bed looking down at her not so little sister. “When did you get so big that you’re taking care of me?” Emma asked.
Ruby had followed Emma into the room and jumped up onto the bed beside her and sneaking onto her lap for a pat. Emma didn’t wait for an answer and looked like she wanted to talk about something more serious. “Ruby has been following me around and sucking up all afternoon.” Emma said. “She loves you. You’ve both been through trauma. I think she’s chosen you.” Shaley said. They sat together in silence for a few minutes. “Thanks for helping me. I thought I was a goner.” Emma confessed. “I wouldn’t let that happen.” Shaley answered. “It felt like a cold hand was holding onto my ankle and keeping me from returning to the surface. I’m a little afraid to go back into the river.” Emma confided with an audible gulp. Shaley turned to look her sister in the eyes. “There’s no need to worry. It’s gone now.” Shaley said calmly. “What was it?” Emma asked. “I think Naomi would call it a lost soul or residual energy from the past.” Shaley was done talking about this whole mess. She walked out of her room calling Storm as she went. ~
Jimmy held Clara close to him. He suspected she had been terribly injured in the explosion but there had been no way to tell for sure. There had been so much chaos on the ship with the screaming, fire and people trying to save themselves. Jimmy had somehow escaped the initial blast because he hadn’t been at his post of all things. He had sustained an injury to his arm and he suspected it was broken but he didn’t have time to worry about that now. The right side of his face and any exposed skin burned and his ears rang.
He was having trouble keeping the two of their heads above the waves but all he could think of was keeping Clara safe. “Jimmy?” A small voice spoke. “I’m here Clara.” He said trying to keep his own voice calm and reassure her. He looked around and could see several other passengers and crew flailing around in the pitch black water nearby. Pieces of debris and cargo were scattered about; some still engulfed in flames. Jimmy held Clara with the last vestiges of his strength. He was never going to let her go… not ever. ~

Shaley sat close to the shore of the Magnetewan behind The Old Rectory staring out across the river. She was in a miserable mood and was deliberately avoiding people today. She felt an anger growing inside her that only a teenage girl could fathom. Storm lie nearby soaking up the sun’s rays until he couldn’t take it any longer and had to move into the shade. Shaley picked grass and weeds and tore them into tiny pieces to toss into the river then watched as the current took them away. She heard a sound of footsteps behind her but she didn’t turn to see who it was.
She could feel the familiar energy of her mentor as soon as she’d exited her vehicle. “Hello Little Sparrow. Do you mind if I sit?” Naomi asked but sat before getting a reply. Shaley took a deep breath, rolled her eyes and sighed loudly. “You were supposed to meet me at the diner this morning. What happened? Are you ill?” Naomi asked knowing very well the answer. “I don’t really feel like talking Naomi.” Shaley said emotionless. “That’s the time when talking is the best medicine and most beneficial.” Naomi informed her.
Shaley continued to look straight ahead. “Emma told me some of what happened yesterday. Do you want to talk about it?” Naomi prodded. “Not really no… all I can say at this point is that what I really want to do is punch something. I had terrible dreams last night and I woke up grinding my teeth.” Shaley confided. “I won’t let anything take my family away Naomi… I’ll
