but I promise this won’t take long to be as good as new.”
    Excruciating pain shoots through my entire leg as Sophia grabs a hold of my ankle. In one swift motion, she turns my ankle to its original place. It feels as though somebody is chopping, no ripping my entire foot off. I bellow so loud that the windows in the house shake as my voice cracks with the pain. I begin to feel warmth over my ankle. Sophia is next to me deep in meditation and concentration. She is the best healer I ever met, ok, the only healer and the best friend a girl could ask for. Warmth moves up my leg in ripples, I can feel the healing of bone rejoining. I only wish Sophia could heal me from the pain of losing Grams.
    Sophia sits up and nods to Matt, he swoops me up in one quick but gentle motion and carries me back to the car. I notice Eliza grabs my bag as she walks out of the manor. I wish our parents would reappear to us. I would love to know Grams is okay and with them now.
    ***
    Back at the Pierce household arrangements for Grams’ funeral are already being made. Florence and Elijah are helping to take care of all the details. Florence makes arrangements for the obituary for the morning paper and Elijah contacts the funeral home to set up service. We don’t have any other family. So there’s no one to really call. I’ll have to look in the book of shadows to ensure we do the proper ceremony to see Grams off to the spirit realm. That will have to wait till tomorrow though. I am mentally and physically exhausted and just need to get some rest.
    “ Eliza, Ebony the guest rooms are all set up for you and Alexander has already taken your belongings up. You know that we consider you both our family. I have the fridge stocked with everything you may like, please help yourself or even just ask and we will get it for you. Our entire family is here for you, and we will help you get through this. We can continue to take care of all the arrangements for you if you would like.” Florence hugs both of us and then offers us a cup of tea.
    “ Thank you so much Florence I’m so glad that we are not alone. Do you mind if we take our tea upstairs and go to bed?” Eliza asks.
    “ Not at all my dear, we’ve also spoken to Matt and Luke’s families. The boys will also be staying here tonight, in case you need them and will be just down the hall from you.”
    With a smile, Luke says, “Thank you Mrs. Pierce. We appreciate it.”
    “ No need for formalities, we are all family here. It is just Florence, please.”
    Sophia shows us to our rooms. Alexander already has our pajamas laid on the bed and covers turn down. He has also left fresh towels for us to shower and put in all our toiletries in the washroom. This family is so incredibly thoughtful and caring. No one would ever believe they are vampires. We take turns in the shower and getting ready for bed. I notice Matilda putting some calming music on the stereo and placing books beside our beds. Matt is waiting in my room when I get out of the washroom.
    “ Hey beautiful, I just wanted to make sure that you’re doing okay and tuck you into bed.”
    “ Thanks, Matt. I think I’m doing better now. I still can’t believe that Grams is gone.”
    “ I understand, everything happened without any warning and I only imagine how it is tearing you apart. Just know that I’m here for you, and that you’re Grams loved you very much.”
    “ I know she was wonderful woman. She raised me and Eliza from the beginning. We never had our parents around, all we ever had was her, and now we don’t. What are we ever going to without her?”
    “ I know it’ll be difficult, but I know you can do it. Your grandmother didn’t raise any idiots. Try not to worry about right now. It’ll be easier to deal with once you get some rest.”
    “ You may be right. Will you lay with me, until I fall asleep?”
    “ Of course I will. I’ll do anything for you.”
    Crawling into bed next to me, Matt pulls up the blankets and
