Capítulo 155: Chapter 155: I Need You

This couldn't be happening, not now, not after everything I'd gone through to rescue her. I stood there, feeling like she'd hit me physically, unable to act or react.

Luckily, Dad spoke up for me.

"You must return," he said, voice soft and low. "You need to be whole."

She snarled at him. "You should talk."

Dad flinched. "I'm trying at least," he said. "I know how important it is to return to where I belong."

She looked away from him, a deep scowl on her face. "I'm tired of being told what to do," she said. "And I'm tired of her not wanting me around. I saved all of you and gave her what she wanted. And what thanks did I get for it? That man used my power, just like she did, kept me a prisoner. And no one came for me."

"I came for you." I took a step toward her. "We did." I gestured at Quaid and Sunny.

She shrugged. "Took you long enough."

Seriously? There was no making her happy. Now I really knew how Mom felt.
