Birds of Prey

Chapter 23: Returning Home

Notes from the author: Allison takes her daughter back to her mother while Laurel finds a way to jog Nyssa's memory. Happy Reading!
"This time I'll shoot if you don't tell me where Prim is." Allison said. Helena didn't have to respond because at that moment Prim walked in.
"Allison."
"Prim." Allison runs to her daughter and hugs her.
"Are you alright? Did they hurt you?"
"No." Prim replied.
"Let's get you home."

"Jesus Christ, Oliver!" Laurel shouted as she walks over to Nyssa and helps her to her feet.
"Thank you." Nyssa tells Laurel and she feels a spark ignite in her when she touches Laurel's hand.
"You're welcome." Laurel replied.
"I thought it might work." Oliver said. Laurel only heard part of what Oliver said because she notice that look in Nyssa's eyes again. The look of longing. The look that causes Nyssa to shy away or change the subject whenever Laurel notices it. It was there and this time Laurel was going to get Nyssa open up about it.
"I know something that might work, but I need you and Connor to leave the room." Laurel tells Oliver. He wants to object, but he could tell by her tone that she was serious. So he lead his son out of the room.
When the door closed, Laurel pulled Nyssa to her and kissed her.

"Here we are pumpkin." Allison said as she helped Prim down from the horse.
"Do I have to go back?" Prim asked. Allison felt tears ready to fall, but held them back as she replied.
"I'm afraid so."
"Will you tell my mom I miss her?"
Allison nodded before planted a Kiss on the girl's forehead.
"Now go inside your grandmother is waiting for you."
Prim wanted to argue, but she knew Allison wouldn't let her, so she gave the woman a quick hug and walked to her house.
Allison waited until she saw the door open and saw her mother let Prim in.
This was for the best, Allison knew that, she didn't like, but she knew that Prim could never know the truth.
So she got on her horse and rode away.
