Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Send Off

It wasn't long before I realized someone was crying. Not me for once, what a miracle. I followed the sound out my door and down the hall to Meira's room. We hadn't spent much time together since the whole demon thing went down. Like everyone else in the family, my little sister seemed to be avoiding me. Considering how close we'd always been, it hurt me almost as much as losing Quaid had.

I knocked softly, hearing heavy snuffling from behind her door. "Meems? Are you okay?"

Silence. No more crying at least. I hated being ignored.

"Meira, what's wrong?" I tried to turn the knob, but she'd either locked it or was using magic to keep me out.

"Go away!" Something soft but solid impacted the other side of the door. I'd thrown enough objects at my own door that it was easy to identify the sound of a pillow hitting its mark.
