Don't Leave Me Alone

RUMBLE RUMBLE!

CRACKLE!!

The sky was split into two by the bright flash of lighting.

Penelope pulled Damian into her arms and carried him into the open corridor. The rain suddenly fell hard and wetted the side of the corridor.

"Here," Heinrich pulled her hand away from the garden. They walked toward a drier side of the corridor, but Heinrich realized Penelope's sharp stare at him.

"Why do you want to learn magic anyway, Niamh?" Penelope asked Niamh, who was hugging Heinrich's neck. "You know that after everything... magic should be banned even stricter than before."

"That's not true, Aunt Penny," Damian said slowly. "I don't think that's the best solution."

"That's right!" Niamh said. "And even if I can't learn magic here, I will still learn magic where it's legal."

Heinrich laughed, but he slowly stopped laughing, seeing Penelope's piercing eyes.
