The power flowed through my veins and I heard an echo in the distance. "Morgan!"
I dissolved the earth pillars with a flick of the mind. It was so easy to undo what I'd done. The earth settled and the other little girl, the other half of the set raced towards me full bore with her fist clenched, her face in tears and her teeth barred.
A small fist cracked me across the chin. "Ow."
The girl in my lap woke up with the sound of flesh on flesh and shifted out of my grasp with her hands up in fists. I smiled. "It's okay. I'm okay. Your sister is here."
She looked at her sister and they hugged tightly. "Kenzie. I'm sorry."
"I'll go now." I handed the bunny back to Morgan with a smile. "Thank you for letting me borrow your bunny."
I turned and walked away but the liggle girl grabbed my hand and pushed the bunny in my hand. "You need him more than I do."
"Mama gave that to you.
"I know. To help. He needs help too."
"Why don't you come with him? Sleep in a bed, under a real roof, have a hot shower, eat a real meal. All on me?"
Morgan hopped a little before looking to her sister with hope filled eyes. "And I can show you how to throw a punch so you don't hurt your hand as much."
"Fine."
Morgan giggled and thrust her hand into mine and grabbed her sisters and tugged us both towards the exit of tent city.
