Chapter 101: Magical or otherwise
***
Amber’s POV
“What’s happening,” I ask my husband, “Did Elliot say specifically what’s going on?”
We’ve brought Hope and the twins with us, as if she is going to need magical intervention, it seemed like a reasonable thing to do, all things considered.
“No, but it sounded bad,” my husband says, knocking at their door, “He just said that Sophie’s in trouble, and that we need to help her.I didn’t ask questions. It didn’t seem like there was much time”.
Elliot comes to the door, and motions for us to enter. His wild hair and haunted eyes tell us that the danger has not passed.
“The doctor’s in with her now,” he says, running his hands through his hair, “She’s lost a lot of blood, and she’s too unstable to move. This wasn’t supposed to happen. She wasn’t supposed to be due for a few weeks.”
I look at Hope, thinking about her experience as a healer. Maybe she can do something to help our friend. Magical or otherwise.
