Closer
to thee Part 31:
The
last talk
--------------------
Once
more Penny is in the attic, and once more she's not alone.
"Why
now, mother?"
Patty asked, still trying to convince her mom from
leaving the choice to the girls
"We both know why. We're just
not willing to say it."
Penny said in a final tone
"Please
don't."
Patty begged once more, but already that desperate to
know, that it wouldn't have any sense anyway
"I'm
not well, Patty. When I die..."
Penny
started, but Patty didn't even want to hear one word from
it
"Mother..."
"When I
die..."
Penny started again
"The girls will receive their
powers. I have to stop that from happening."
"But it's their
destiny. It's what they're meant to be."
"Who are we to decide
that they're meant to be witches?"
Penny asked once more.
Growing sick of explaining the whole world her reasons.
"Who are
we to decide that they're not? This isn't your choice to make. It's
theirs."
Patty put in once again
"Maybe. But the girls are
mine to protect."
Penny said. Her rage was growing once more and
so did the stress. She grabs her chest once more, as she once more
got into trouble with breathing. She turns around and backs on the
book of shadows
"Mom, are you alright?"
Patty asked
worried, as she went closer to her mother, trying to back her
"I'm
fine."
Penny said through gritted teeth
"Don't change the
subject."
She added, as she recovered from the attack
"Patty,
they're not ready. Do you really want me to put them directly in
harms way?"
Penny asked. Patty just looks at her with a face
like 'no', but she couldn't say it. Because else she would have
to agree with her mother on binding the girls' powers and that
Patty didn't want to. Penny just sights and picks up a
candle
"Goodnight."
Penny said
once more final and blows out the candle as Patty's ghostly form
disappears
