"Can you really grant my wish?" Helen pleaded, her voice trembling with anticipation.
"Of course, and I know exactly what it is you desire," Flora replied with a knowing smile.
"Which is?" Helen pressed, her eyes wide with curiosity.
"It has to do with your brother, wrong?" Flora declared.
"....,"
"I can make it so that it never happens," she continued, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper.
Helen's eyes widened in disbelief. "Huh? What do you mean?"
"I can make that incident disappear. Your mother, the attack, it would never have to happen but" Flora explained, her voice laced with a power that sent shivers down Helen's spine.
Tears welled up in Helen's eyes. "Really?"
A sly smile played on Flora's lips. "But only if..." Her voice trailed off, leaving the unspoken condition hanging heavy in the air.
Flora then turned her attention to Emily. "You," she spoke.
