~They left, and in ten years, they returned ~
"Mom they're back!" The now thirteen-year-old girl cried as she burst through the door. Her mother threw down the rag she held in her hands and followed her daughter back out the door. Her daughter -now only two years younger than the boys- jumped into their arms. "I missed you all so much!" She cried. Her mother looked at the group. A sad mask slid over her eyes. "Where's dad?" Her daughter asked. The three boys looked down at their feet. "He…he has to stay. He was mortally wounded. He will die if he tries to come back." A cry caught their ears and they all turned to Mira. She was leaning over on the ground. Her daughter ran up and took her in her arms. "Tiny…I'm sorry…" 'Tiny' looked over at the boys with tears. "It is not your fault. Do not be sorry."
