Chapter 6
Andine slowly went over to the little girl. The tears pouring down such a young girl's face was heartbreaking. It was not natural for a little girl to be cry that much. She slowly knelt beside the little girl.
'Halena, you need to come with me and my husband. Mummy has to help daddy and we don't want the evil person coming and hurting you while we aren't watching.'
'But I am a big girl and I can take care of myself. I know how to. It is not like I am a baby any more,' she said back through sobs.
'You might not be a baby, no, but sometimes things are too much for us to see,' Andine said, trying to win her over. But she was unknowledgeable as to how well Halena was educated.
'But you have never had to go away from something. I want to stay with Da!'
'I have. Please!' Andine reverted to begging.
'Halena,' came a soft whisper. 'Do it for me?' he asked her.
All the eyes on the room turned around to look at Althie. He had his eyes open and his hand resting on Halena's head.
'Alhtie!' Emmy screamed.
'Yes dear,' he whispered.
'Don't talk. You need to save your energy,' she told him and he winced.
'Could you make up your mind to either talk in your head or out loud? There is an awful bad echo here,' he said back.
'No!' Emmy said sharply. Her expression suddenly softened. 'Don't die. You are not allowed,' she said to him.
'Go with them, Halena. Please? I promise to come and get you when I am better,' Althie said to her and she slowly got up and went to Eliar.
People started crowding around Althalus, trying to see if he was alright. Emmy was still sobbing on his chest and Emmy's brother had finally decided that he could help a bit and was trying to get them both back to the house at the end of the world.
Now was the time to fly.
And Eliar, Andine and their new little child left the scene.
