...And home is nowhere

I wonder if it's possible to get wing cramps. Sisky wiped her forehead of sweat as she followed, thinking that eventually she would have to return to a normal size and run to rest her wings.

Siska lost sight of Matt for a moment and scanned the area he was in. A well. She moved closer, hesitantly.

Sisky hovered in place, sometimes dipping down because she was too tired to beat her wings evenly. Now what do I do?

Sisky panted, dipping lower and lower until she was almost falling on the ground. She decided it would be better to catch her breath before saying anything even though she didn't need words. It would give her time to think.

Sisky flitted over and sat on the wall of the well, wondering what she should do. "Matt...? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Adam sat patiently, watching the vampire.

Sisky stood up and ran over to the part of the well wall closest to Matt. Are you okay?

No, you're not. Sisky crossed her small arms over her chest.

Sisky flew off of the wall and changed size to stand in front of Matt. You wouldn't have run off like that if everything was okay with you.

Sisky sat down and watched. It's okay. I'm sure William forgives you. He looked pretty upset.

You've been abused. Sisky inched her way closer so she wouldn't startle Matt.

Um well, maybe you have but you've been abused too. Ryland took the life you could have had from you. Sisky hesitated, wondering whether a hug would be appropriate or now.
