"It was just a dream." She muttered, trying to calm down her racing heart.
Her mind quickly went to her grandfather. She had slept for few hours. It was half past 1 in the morning already.
She found him drawing in long and strainful breaths. "Gran... Grandpa. Please don't. Please." She wailed, trying to use her magic on him..
"You can't heal old age dear. Please be good. Remember. People don't deserve our help, but that... doesn't... mean... we... should... stop." He said as he drew his last breath.
"Grandpa! Grandpa please wake up!" Dawn cried out as she kept on shaking him, but there was no response. She coiled up on the floor, wailing like a little child.
She cried her heart out till 6AM. Her eyes were all swollen and red. She felt weak, both in spirit and physically. All the crying made her slim face extra chubby.
