The Mix of Water and Flames (2)

"What happened?"

The memory of what occurred chilled Chunhua's blood and it made her mute for a moment. Unsure of how she was going to tell it to her Uncle Yang.

Her little heart pounded for a moment.

Sweat started forming in her hands. 

If she said a word, would Uncle Yang be alright? 

Didn't he seem much stronger than he used to be before? Even Chunhua noticed the subtle changes in how the man conducted himself. But a certain fear gripped her heart at the imagination of losing both her mother and someone who just arrived back in Chunhua's life.

She didn't want anybody else to be gone.

All of these fears that made Chunhua tremble were strange. 

She was a young child who had been used to seeing supernatural things from such a long time ago.
