Eagle Crest Hallows [3]

Rayah

I pick Logan And Riley up and bring them inside, sitting on one of the chairs.

Alyx

Something's bothering Jace, I feel it, but he hides it. Before I know what I'm doing, I'm hugging him and trying not to cry, hating the change but happy I'm in my own body again.

Rayah

I smile at them re-uniting. "Aw." I manage to slip out before looking back down at the kids.

Alyx

Jace pulls back and I curl up, shivering. He takes a blanket from behind the couch and sets it over me, fixing my hair out of my face.

"It's alright, just calm down," He tells me, flashing a smile, "It's not like you're going to blow away or anything."

Rayah

I smile wider and sigh, Logan taking a fist-full of my hair. I let him and shift Riley on my left leg.

Alyx

I glance at Rayah and images flash through my mind. Scowling, I look away from her and at Jace. He didn't tell me what she did...

Rayah

I bounce both of them up and down and they giggle. I smile and laugh a little too.

Alyx

Jace sends me a questioning look before glancing back at Rayah. He turns back to me and tilts his head slightly to the side, confused.

Where the hell was I yesterday? What happened? I ask in his mind.

He shakes his head and looks away, taking a deep breath.

It's over and done with, he responds.

Always the pushover...Bet you didn't even kick the guy's *ss.

He half glares, half smiles at me, shaking his head again.

Rayah

Logan shocks me and I jump slightly, chuckling. I glance up at Jace and then back at Riley, braiding her hair.

Alyx

Jace gets an idea and looks up at me, a question in his eyes.

Remind me of the extent of your powers again, he says.

I'm not going inside her head. Her memories are enough. I'm not going back, I look down, studying my hands again.

Rayah

I swallow, remembering what I gave Jesse and my eyes widen. I look up. "I'll be right back." I say, standing and running upstairs.

Alyx

You might want to follow her though...

He sends me another confused look before hurrying after her.

"Ray?" he calls.

I look at the twins, watching them size me up.

"Alyx," I point to myself.

The boy slides off his chair and waddles over to me, touching my face.

"Daddy..." He trails off, confused.

"Uncle," I say, "Daddy's with Mommy."

Rayah

I sit on the side of the bed, my face in my hands and take a deep breath, not believing any of this.

Jace

I find Rayah sitting on the edge of the bed and sit beside her.

"What's wrong? What aren't you telling me?" I ask.

Rayah

I shake my head, "Just...I can't. I'm not even suppost to know."
