Miracle

"What happened?" Ray asked, putting Lillian down and walking to the front with Vaille and Berthol as Lillian made her way to Jasmine. 

"What are we going to do about him?" Lillian whispered to Jasmine. "How bad it is?" 

"Very." She said, looking up at her. "I don't understand why this has to happen now." 

"I wonder too." She hissed, frowning. "Look, see what you can do, I will go to see my execution. Is that ok?" 

"I will come with you. He can wait just a couple of minutes." Jasmine said, reaching into her bag and taking out another glass bottle. She poured a drop on the frog and he closed his eyes as a bubble wrapped around him.

"What did you do?" 

"Stalled for time." She said, "I am not letting you do this alone." 

Lillian smiled at her gratefully and began to make her way to the front with the others.
