Chapter 6
Bo? Kestrel awoke in pain. Her head pounded. She looked ghastly. She was back….
Pinto sprinted towards the cliff. She could see the clouds clearing.
"Kess, where are you!" She yelled. "Kess, help!" Pinto knew where Kestrel would be. She ran back to the cottage. Sisi looked up.
"What is it?" she asked. "What's happening?" She looked up into Pinto's face and noticed tears in her eyes. Sisi nodded and Pinto ran out of the door as fast as she could.
The sand cleared from the mountaintop and Kestrel stood up.
Bo! It's Time! She could not hear her twin's voice, only the wind which whipped up the sand around her feet.
Kess! Is that you? Kestrel heard this distant voice. Kess!
It was Pinto
Pin! But how? Kestrel was shocked that Pinto had the same gift that Bowman and she had.
I heard you and Bo talking in my mind. She was weeping.
Pin, what's wrong? Kestrel asked.
It's Bo! He's dead! Pinto heard her sister gasp.
Sisi grabbed a large towel and covered Bowman's lifeless body with it. Her hands were shaking violently. Siri and Falcon were crying and Ira was silent.
Kess! Come quick! Please! Pinto needed her sister with her.
I will be there soon! Kestrel's head stopped pounding. Go and comfort Sisi and the children.
Pinto ran into the cottage and saw Bowman's body lying on the ground, covered with a towel. She knew it may already be too late.
"Sisi!" she shouted. Sisi appeared from the bedroom with a blotchy, red face.
"Yes, Pin?" she sobbed.
"She's back!" The colour flooded back to Sisi's face and Pinto smiled.
"Where is she? Where is Kess?" she asked.
"She's coming! She might be able to save Bo!" Pinto and Sisi both looked ecstatic at the news that Bowman could be saved.
