"Abigail is Miss. Buffy still asleep", asked Annie as the maid walked into the kitchen
"Yes ma'am and as you said I did not wake her", answered Abigail
"Please make sure the carriage is ready I'll meet you outside in a few moments", said Annie causing Abigail to exited the room
"Buffy must have been asleep for at least twelve hours shouldn't we see if she wishes to be woken", asked William as he sat at the table with his Mother
"No she's been through a lot the past two days let her rest, when she wakes make sure she eats something and I should be back in a few hours. I just need to get a tonic or two what ever the doctor prescribes", replied Annie as she walked out
"Buffy are you well", asked William as Buffy walked into the kitchen
"Fine finally have my head on completely straight, where's Annie", smiled Buffy
"Oh she just left see she has had this cough for a very long time so she has to go to the doctor every so often to get different Tonics. She'll be back in a few hours", answered William
"How do you feel about continuing your training, since we have the time", asked Buffy
"As always of course", said William as he guided her to his room
"William, Miss. Buffy", called Annie as she entered the house three hours later
"Mother it's good to see you back, how did things go at the doctors", smiled William as he and Buffy walked up to her
"Oh I have to take a few tonics and rest but I'll see the two of you at lunch, William what happen to your eye", answered Annie as she looked at William black eye
"Just tripped down the stairs", replied William as Buffy just smiled
Lunch Time
"Mother, Mother time to wake", called William outside his Mothers room
"I'll wake her Master William", said Abigail as she opened the door and walked into the room
"Abigail what's wrong", asked William as Abigail's face went white
"Mrs. Westton is dead", whispered Abigail as she stepped back from Annies bed
"No, no", cried William as Buffy walked up behind him
"I don't know who you have to deal with something like this but get them", replied Buffy as she looked at Abigail
"Yes Miss", answered Abigail as she ran out of the room
"Listen to be William lets go into the Parlor", stated Buffy as she took William by the shoulders and guided him out
"But my Mother is dead", whispered William as Buffy had him sit in a chair in the Parlor
"I know and I know how you feel, completely lost no idea where to turn but there's nothing you can do. I know I had the same thing happen to my Mother she died and there was nothing I could do. The more you look the worst you feel the lost so just stay here and breath and if you feel like your going to throw up go to the wash room", comforted Buffy as she smoothed Williams hair
"Did you vomit when you found your mother", asked William in a daze
"Yah I did so if you feel like you have to there's no shame in that", said Buffy causing William to get up and run out of the room
"Miss. Buffy I got the undertaker he is available at the moment", replied Abigail as she walked into the parlor with a man in a black slicker
"Show him where Annie is", answered Buffy
"Of course Miss", stated Abigail as she lead the man out of the room
"I still can't believe this", whispered William as he walked back into the room
"You know it wasn't unexpected you knew she was sick it's not normal to cough up blood and in the future you told me exactly what she had Consumption. So you have to break yourself out of this denial", said Buffy as William looked at her through tears
"But why she was the only family I had left", asked William
"Families a relative term my sister lost all the family she had when I died once but she found another family in friends and you will too", comforted Buffy as William slowly walked away
"Hay William how are you feeling", asked Buffy as she walked into his room an hour later
"They took her away, her memorial will be tomorrow", answered William who was sitting at his desk
"That isn't what I ask how are you feeling", retorted Buffy
"I don't know, I don't know where I belong what I'll do but I guess that's how you feel being in this time", stated William
"William a lot of things are going to happen in the next few years that I can't change like two world wars and so many other historical things that I don't know about because I slept through World History but one thing I can do is help you so just let me", replied Buffy as she knelt in front of the sitting William
"How", asked William as he looked at her skeptically
"Around The World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne, that gives me an idea", smiled Buffy as she picked up a book off Williams desk
