Is a mistake from the Moon Goddess 342

Chapter 342

Lynn shot up from the bed with a gasp, and I nearly wept in relief. Wendy and Toya jolted back, surprised, but then grabbed Lynn again. "Are you okay?" Touya turned Lynn's face to hers.

Wendy wrapped her hands around the soaked towel and peaked under. "Thank the goddess." She pulled back the towel completely, inspecting Lynn's wrist. "She's healed." She stood and brought the towel to the bathroom. I heard the slap of the towel hitting the bottom of my tub and water running right before she came back with a washcloth. She wiped the remaining blood off Lynn's wrist, cleaning her up before she turned to me. "You did it." She looked back over my shoulder, her eyes catching on something again.

Toya and I followed her eyesight and Toya's mouth dropped open. "Holy goddess." She looked back at me. "Did you do that?"

I stared at the plants I had in the corner. The plants I collected and my mother had taken care of while I was gone. The plants, all six, that were now shriveled and dead. The once vibrant green now had turned yellow, like dried corn husks. I mourned their loss, but I looked back at Lynn and I smiled. "Sometimes, magic gives back to nature, and sometimes we pull from it. My well wasn't big enough to bring Lynn back from the brink while cleansing the wolfbane from her system. I needed the boost." I felt my shoulders sag. "I will give it back once I've refilled." I stood and grabbed the jewelry dish of blood. "I'll be right back."

"But your magic..." Wendy held up her hand, worried.

I nodded. "I'll have to pull a little extra from the plants outside to add Lynn to the shield, but it needs to be done. I'll hopefully be able to bring them all back to life when I have the strength." I started back into the closet but paused. "Can you both stay with her until I can come back and bring her to her room?"

"Of course." Toya nodded.
