We're at the end. I really hope I answered all the outstanding questions in the serial, and that you did enjoy it :) Thank you for reading! I'm not sure if or when I'll post another serial, but I'm not going to rule it out for now.
Two Sisters
by T.S. Bazelli
Part 15 - Home (Conclusion)
Alice Young, August 28, 2010
Wordlessly, the Alice and Mihail lifted Nikolai to the edge of the ravine. At the bottom, Alice could see two dark shapes. Her father was sprawled near the stream, moaning. Further off, a huge wolf lay curled on its side.
They laid Nikolai close to the edge, in a space where moonlight pooled. Alice gestured for Mihail to give her some space. The sky was clear and glittered with stars like gems. The moon was warmth, and life. Beneath it, Alice knew she could do what she had failed to do that morning ten years before.
She untied Mihail’s bloody jacket, and pressed her dark fingers into Nikolai’s open wound. Heat began to pulse through her body, and her fingers began to glow faintly with the distilled light of the stars. She knew she could do anything, that she could fix him. She opened her eyes, and smoothly, as if in daylight, began to weave the strands of his broken life together again.
Congratulations on making it all the way to 15 and the close, TS. I hope you enjoyed running through all of it. I've got some re-reading to do...
Thanks John! It has been a very good experience in editing, plus so helpful to get feedback quickly on something of length. Hope you enjoy it too. :)
