Chapter 26

Lazarus POV

Willow has lived five days so far. I love watching her with the babies. She refuses to leave them. She has devoted every moment of her life left to be with them. My father took my mother to have her buried in the fairy house of royalty. She would have wanted that. I was so afraid he would insist she be buried among vampire ashes of royalty. He, for once, gave her what she wanted.

My father has worked trying to find a cure for Willow. We cannot ask another fairy to give up their life to save her. She would not accept it anyway.

Luanne and the children have actually made things better over the last few days. Luanne stays in the house on the far side of the property, causing no problems. The children come up every day to see Willow. I promised Willow that they would always be cared for no matter what. I intend to keep my promise.
