" it was my magic that started it!"

"But that does not mean it was your fault," Farah whispered.

" it does…"

"No," Farah countered. "Will you let me look?" she asked quietly.

neva froze for a second but sighed " go ahead.." she said softly

Farah pulled away from the hug, and her eyes glowed as she gently touched her fingers to Neva's forehead. It wasn't required, but it was simply easier that way.

nevas past played in farahs mind, the exact events leading up to the fire and neva being drug out by someone all the way to the moment it started. neva could feel the sun on her face as it woke her, the sweet smell of her mothers baking filled the air. she got up, putting on her usual birthday outfit of a cute dress an shoes. she went down the stairs, her father, a mechanic of six years greeting her. he smelled potently of gas. as they made their way to the kitchen she seen the party hr mother had made. her memory skipped to the moment her powers showed, her skin glowing and the shriek of her mother. the light was flung, landing onto her father. his scream was blood curdling, and everything was catching easily to the flame. her mother was next as the grease from cooking caught. neva was coughing and screaming for help. after a few shed passed out from the smoke, waking to the feel of hands around her and pulling her out

Farah came back into herself with a shaky gasp. "Oh gods…"

neva was still crying " it was my fault.."

Farah shook her head. "You can't blame yourself for uncontrollable circumstances."

"…" neva lowered her head, looking down at her phone

Farah gently smoothed Neva's hair. "Play it," she whispered quietly.

neva shook her head " i.. i cant.. i cant hear it again.."

"Then I'll cloud your ears," Farah murmured. "Let me listen to it."

neva handed her phone over, covering her ears afterward

Farah waved her hand, using air magic to cloud Neva's ears as she'd promised. Then she hit play.

the sound started normal, " happy birthday dear- what the? nev- " the mans shriek and then the woman's. the crash and the rush of air sounding as things caught fire. nevas screamed for help and her coughing. "mama… pleas.. " she pleaded, the draggin sound followed the phone "help… someone.." he voice was weak

Farah slipped Neva's phone into her own pocket and lifted the magic. "Darling, why in the Otherworld do you have that saved?"

" its the only recording of mom i have.." she whispered.

"And you can't even bear to listen to it," Farah countered.

" as long as i have that shes still here! " neva laid her head on farahs chest " i know this isnt good for me but i dont need someone telling me..'

"If you know it isn't good for you, then why do you still do it, my darling?" Farah asked worriedly, her fingers running gently through Neva's hair.

" because im scared if i let go ill lose them.." she whispered

"Darling, that isn't how love works," Farah murmured.

"…" neva curled up on her self, tucking her hea to hide in her knees.

"Do you want me here, or do you want me to go?" Farah asked quietly.
