"Why were you kidnapped?"

"Hm? Oh, well, last week after my grandma died, the nurses kept me in the hospital while they waited for social services. I snuck away, and hurried to my mee-maws house to pack. However, I forgot food. Or money. So when a dude in a van offered me a ham sandwich..." She shrugged

"I see."

"I see."

"Yeah. He had three other kids in the van. I snuck away from the van, found a big stick, and knocked out kidnapper out."

"Well, that's good."

"Yeah. I then stole his van. I drove it from Arizona to North Carolina. It took me two days. I then ditched the van, and stole some jerk's jeep. Which I crashed. And then I ended up wandering in the forest you guys found me in."

He hugged her back. He tried to force the memories from his mind, but wasn’t successful. 

“Is there anything I can do to help you, or would you like me to be quiet?”

Sometimes just listening to someone was more helpful than trying to fix their problems, but Jenny couldn’t tell what Ed wanted at the moment. She wasn’t sure how to, or if she even could, help him, either. She’d try her best, though.

“I don’t know,” he whispered. “Stay safe, I can’t lose you too.” He shuddered. “It was horrible.”

"I followed them unseen until recently."

"Nice. Ninja style." She said, the expression on her face completely serious.

"Sure."

"Do you think my mom will claim me if I help enough on this quest?" She asked. "I don't know how the whole claiming thing works."

"They tend to be inconsistent about it."

Jenny hugged him tighter.

”I’ll try my best to be safe, I promise. I’m really sorry you had to go through that. I know it probably doesn’t make your loss hurt less, but Kylee’s in Elysium now. She’s happy, and I think you’ll probably see her there again someday. Ideally not any time soon, of course.”

She laughed, unable to fully keep the nervousness out of it. He wasn’t the only one terrified of losing someone they cared about again.

She laughed, unable to fully keep the nervousness out of it. He wasn’t the only  one terrified of losing someone they loved again.

He clung to her in desperation, unconsciously tightening his hug.

“She…she wouldn’t be in Elysium. She would have been reborn.”

Terrance looked over at them for a moment.

"But... We're their kids. They have to care, right?"

“Well, I’m pretty sure you can make it to the Isles of the Blessed, if you wanted to try for it too. And if she’s as great as you say she is, she’ll make it there as well.”

As always, Jenny meant exactly what she said. She looked into Ed’s eyes, trying to show him that she genuinely believed this.
