Chapter 377

My heart broke as I watched Abby comfort her wolf. "Nala?" I leaned over the three so I could see her face.

Abby nodded. "I don't know how, but as soon as I touched her, I knew her name." She rubbed her face against the patchy, dull fur "She is sick, like me, isn't she?"

I just nodded. "Yeah baby girl, she is." She snuggled in closer.

"Why is she so small?” she cracked open an eye and hugged her wolf pup closer. "Shouldn't she be bigger? I should have met her soon, right?"

I looked at Nix and remembered that I started talking to her when I was about five or six. She had always been there, strong, steady, and my best friend. My heart ached for the pair in front of us. "Yeah, she should be bigger, but so should you. The sickness ate away at you strength, at your power, and it stunted you."

She looked at me with sad eyes. "It's okay, you know."

"What is?"

"That I have to die." She closed her eye as her puppy whined and rolled over into her arms. The tiny wolf cracked an eye and used a bit of its strength to slowly lick Abby's face. Even in her weakened form, Nala was doing her best to be there for her human. Abb's lick quivered as she kissed her wolf's nose. "I've spent the last year getting use to the fact that I wasn't going to be able to grow up. That I would leave my mom and dad." She turned to face me fully. "On the days where I couldn't leave my bed, I wrote letters to them. They weren't much. Mostly pictures at first, but when I learned more words, I started to write down how much I loved them."

"Abby..." I reached out and stroked her hair. My magic zipped through her and she felt stronger. Like the magic I sent through her to heal did more good than I thought possible.

Nix looked at me as she felt it, too. "Pick up the pup, Amy." I looked at the wolf pup, and she cracked her eye again.
