Ash sat in the hospital waiting room. She watched as nurses, doctors and porters walked past her as if no one saw her. The occasional cop would watch her when they thought she wasn't looking. But still she waited there.
'Tea?'
She took the drink from the Deputy, but rather than raising the polystyrene cup to her lips, she just held it between her hands.
'What happens now?' she asked.
'Considering most of the force are going for counselling over what they saw.' He locked eyes with her, but she looked away.
She was well aware of what had happened. She'd felt it. Jess' gift had called to hers, just like it had in the morgue, but a hundred times stronger. And she'd given into the pull. Eventually collapsing into Julia when all of her energy was spent.
'But they don't think me or Jess?'
'They think that Daryl and Gareth were on drugs. Completely off their face.'
'Enough that they'd throw themselves into a wall?' she asked in disbelief.
'It's the story that they can believe.'
She shrugged, unable to deny what he said. 'And Jess' friend? Laura?'
'Two bodies were recovered from the scene. They've yet to be identified.'
'We both know who they are.'
'Have you spoken to Jess?'
'She hasn't been awake since you brought her in.'
The Deputy reached over and briefly touched her arm. 'She'll be okay Ash.'
'I felt it, Elijah. Her pain. Her sadness. It's how I know what was in that room, but I don't know how she's going to get past this.'
'She's strong,' the deputy reassured her.
'She shouldn't have to be this strong.'
'Ashilde Hawthorne. Your sister is awake,' a nurse interrupted their hushed conversation.
Ash was up and out of her seat in a rush, the Deputy trailing behind her.
'Ash.' Jess' face crumpled as she saw her sister hesitate at the door.
It took Ash all of two seconds to cross the room and enfold her sister in a bone-crushing hug.
'I thought I lost you,' Ash whispered.
'For a moment, I didn't think I'd see you again,' Jess admitted.
Ash breathed in her sister's scent, her favourite perfume and her strawberry scented shampoo, proof that she was alive and well, and with her.
'Ash...'
'I know. I know what happened. I know what you did, what I did. Jess, I don't give a fuck. Those bastards deserved everything, and you gave Charity, and Laura, the justice they deserved.'
