Natasha came running into the pack house, William was close behind her but he walked as though we had all the time in the world. Lydia came as well and seeing her was such a relief but we didn't have the time to relish in it for too long. William nodded his head towards me. ”Her.” He said and all eyes turned on me. ”Her what?” I asked him. ”You can help her.” ”Help Amber? How? I don't even know what’s wrong with her,” I felt helpless, I had become dependent on my magic but I didn't have that anymore. What did I have to could help Amber? ’Me’ Xena ’You have me, Avery. I'm back now and we will learn to work together again’ I’m sorry… I forgot ’It’s alright, I've been gone for a while’ the sadness clenched my heart. I had forgotten that she was back but to be fair, she had been gone for a long time. ’Not on purpose’ Xena growled. I keep forgetting that you can hear my thoughts.
