Brandon and Joel lit the campfires and Jenny made coffee. Susan made sure everything was made up for Sarah. Jenny brought Sarah a goblet and told her to drink it. Sarah drank it then thanked Jenny and handed her back the goblet. Jenny sat it down on the ground for the time being and touched Sarah’s hand asking. Do you need to talk. Can I Sarah asked. You can talk to me about anything Sarah I keep all Nirka’s secrets. Oh, she talks to you a lot. Yes, Jenny said all the time. What is bothering you Sarah, Sarah looked very sad, come on Sarah you need to talk to me I can see your upset. I should have sent energy to aunt Nirka. Your just learning Sarah I don’t think she expected you too. I think she just wanted to share the experience with you, still she would not have been so exhausted if I had sent her some of my energy. Sarah, stop worrying she has her drink now and she is resting. Jenny could see something else was bothering Sarah, what else is wrong Sarah? Sarah turned and looked at her she had tears in her eyes. Jenny took both her hands and waited for her to talk. I feel horrible for that little girl, she finally said. She has been through so much in such a short time. Not just losing her dad for 5 years. She puts on a brave face but sometimes she cries quietly at night so her parents can’t hear her. But she but she is so very brave and caring, loving, she takes her responsibilities very seriously she is very protective. She needs to have some fun for a change. I will get Brandon to talk to Mike, but no worries your name will never be brought up you can count on me. She patted Sarah’s hands ok little mother it is time for you to go to bed. She tucked her in and gave her a kiss on the forehead goodnight saying she would just be by the fire if she needed her. Jenny then went and talked to Brandon. Finally, Devon went to lay with Nirka, pulling her into his arms he watched her sleep. Tomorrow Mike had said they were throwing a big party he would have to go and feed tomorrow before the party. He was now able to control himself Nirka stopped calling him a newborn a couple of years ago, but he was always discovering something new about himself. It was just before dawn that Nirka woke up. Devon grabbed the canteen for her she took it and drank some then offered him some, no love, he said I will go hunting soon. You need that drink up. Is anyone awake Nirka asked. I don’t think do Devon replied. I want to go and check on Sarah Nirka told him. Ok well let’s make up the bed and go out quietly. Nirka finished her drink, and they straitened the room, and quietly went down the stairs. To find Mike in the living room, Morning he said they joined him in the living room coffee is on the counter he told Devon. Nirka nudged him to go and get some coffee. Then she went to stand with Mike, your up early, yah he said I could not sleep. Oh, Nirka said what is on your mind!? I have been thinking about what I did Mike said, you did nothing wrong Mike, what if I had given that to someone else and not Lil. But you didn’t and you did not even know what it was, it is all good. Devon came back with his coffee, good coffee Mike he said sitting down. Mike said let’s go out onto the front porch, so we don’t wake anyone. After Mike close the door quietly and sat down, Nirka sat on the steps and said I have something to tell you Mike. He just looked at her, first I want to thank you for trusting that I would not hurt Lil. Second, I want to tell you I saw her future. Mike and Devon looked at her stunned. It does not happen often she told him but with Lil, it did. You are going to be very proud of her Mike she is going to help turn the human race back in the right direction when she is older, she will become a leader and a very much loved one. I think she gets it all from you, your determination, her suddenness she has many gifts that have not awaken yet. You and Mia will always be by her side. When she was born, she was destined for great things yet to come. Wow Mike said I’m already proud of her and how she handles things, how people are drawn to her. Mike, you need to talk to her, she cries at night I could not figure out why. Nirka stood up and gave Mike a hug I will see you later I need go and check on Sarah, Devon also got up I need to go feed bro, he said handing him is empty coffee cup I will come back up in a bit. Sounds good Mike said. Then sat and went through everything Nirka had just told him about his princess. Mike yelled to Nirka we will bring lunch down and have a picnic with the kids Nirka yelled back sounds good. Nirka linked Mike instead of yelling, I think it would be good for Lil her and Sarah are becoming good friends, Sarah is attached to her already it is part of the mother thing children are drawn to us. But they are becoming good friends, and I think they both need that. Mike agreed. Nirka closed the link. And went to check on Sarah. As they got closer to camp Nirka got an uneasy feeling, like someone was watching them, but she did not see anyone, but she could feel they did not have good intentions. She never said anything to Devon as she got to the wagons she turned and looked behind them, then she started going through the stuff in the wagon. Nirka what are you doing he asked. I’m checking stuff she said sounding frantic.
