Mean Seasons 76 Heir to Nightmares 6
Carrie put Jamie in her bed with Sophie and covered him with a blanket. She pointed Hiccup to a chair and then went downstairs and entered the kitchen. "Do you want anything to drink?" She asks Mother Nature.
"Water, if you could.": the woman said softly, "And thank you."
Carrie gets two glasses from the shelves and pours two glasses of water setting one in front of Mother Nature and sitting down with the other. "So what do you want to talk about?"
"You hurt for your boy. I hurt because of mine as well. I am Mother Nature. They tell me I am not to play favorites."
She took a drink.
"But my Winter is young, he has suffered enough over the years. I feel I must protect him from those that were to bring him harm. Yet in this I have failed him."
Carrie sighs and holds Mother Natures hand. "It's not your fault. Sometimes things just happen and in the end it's nobody's fault." Carrie's lips quirk in a small smile. "Am i think that if Jack were in his right mind he would agree with me."
"I agreed to cage him." she said sorrowfully. "I know he must be free yet I aklso agreed to rip that freedom from him. If he truly is lost to us now, I may have to do worse. But to punish him for something that is not his fault...I do not feel right, especialy when he has done nothing but help my father take steps to return to how he used to be."
she gripped Carrie's hand
"Tell me, if it were Jamie, what would you do?"
Carrie winces. "If it were Jamie I would cage him because I know if he ever recovered and discovered that he had hurt someone he loves that it would devastate him." Carrie sighs. "It would hurt me more then anything but I would do it because it would be best for Jamie in the long run and I'd rather deal with his anger then his tears."
Pitch apeared, his face solemn
"He's gone."
