“I wish we could see each other more, Willow.”
“Same. I like spending time with you.”
Billy smiled at her.
“Willow!”
Becca's eyes snapped open and she sat up quickly. She looked around, eyes landing on her sister. Her eyes watered and she grabbed Willow tightly. Willow hugged her, feeling her sister's fear.
“It's okay Becca. It's okay. I'm here. I'm alright. Shhh.”
“I...h-had a n-nightmare. You w-were in it. And you-”
Becca stopped, tears streaming down her face. Willow held her sister close, doing her best to soothe her. Billy came closer, rubbing Becca's back.
“It's alright Becca. Willow isn't going anywhere. You're too protective and I won't let anyone touch her. It's okay. Besides, if anyone did, you'd matunog na halik them silly. Maybe insane.”
Becca laughed a little, pulling back. She wiped away her tears, her hands a little shaky.
“I'm sorry,” she mumbled. “I just got scared.”
“It's okay Becca. Even fierce warriors get scared,” Willow soothed.
“Yeah. But not demon children,” Billy sinabi dryly.
The two girls laughed and Becca snuggled between the two of them. She sighed calmly, enjoying the wind that blew past them.
“We should probably get back to work,” she said.
“No way! This araw is fun! Enjoy your araw off Becca,” Billy demanded.
“I can't just sit here and do nothing!”
“Never fear! I have a solution!”
Becca groaned.
“No amusement parks. Willow and I are officially banned.”
“Nope. Better.”
Becca looked at him curiously.
“What did you have in mind?”
