I turned to the other maid in the room. She looked frozen and pale as she stared at Miss Warrior’s collapsed body. I looked at her angrily, no longer scared.

“You!” My voice cracked but came out loud enough to make her jump. “Go get the doctor. Now!”

The maid quickly nodded and rushed out to get the doctor.

My heart beat became fast, but I looked back at Nova, who looked small and fragile as she curled next to her mother’s still body.

I gently opened my arms “Come here,” I said softly.

Nove looked at him and blinked, she slowly walked towards me and hugged me. I wrapped my arms around her and hugged her gently yet firmly.

I whispered gently, “It’s okay.” I slowly rocked her as I saw adults do to children “I’ve got you.”

She finally calmed down, her sobs were now quiet though her hiccups didn’t stop. Her face was now pressed against my shoulder, I felt her tears wetting my shirt but I didn’t mind. I continued to caress her back gently.

The minutes felt longer than it could have.

Every rise and fall of Miss Warrior’s chest was all Leo could focus on. It was weak but I can still hear it. She was breathing softly which was a good thing. She will survive.

Nova gently moved against me, as she rasped softly. “It was my fault..” I looked at her shocked”

What?”

Her eyes were red and swollen, her lip trembling. “She was playing with me today. She just wanted to make me happy. And now she–she-”

I shook my head fiercely, tightening my arms around her. “No. Don’t say that. Don’t even think about it. Nova, this is definitely not your fault. She loves you. That’s why she likes to spend time with you and play with you.

I continued “Because she wanted to see you smile. That’s why I can tell she will come back. Because she loves you too much to leave.”

Nova blinked again her tears trailed down her cheeks but the panic in her eyes was gone with softness.

and replaced

I swallowed hard. My own fears were pressing onto me, I felt like it would crush me any moment but I stayed strong so Nova doesn’t have to see my weakness.

There was a tense silence in the room only Nova’s sobbing and my scared uneven breathing echoing through the room.

I looked at Miss Warrior again. Her hands were laying slack on the floor, I slowly reached out to her hand and gently took it in my own. Her skin felt soothing, cool but not cold. I grasp her hand tightly as if it could help her survive and wake up.

I whisper softly as I control my tears “please, you can’t leave us. Please. I swear I will protect Nova, I promise just… don’t leave us.”

I didn’t realize Nova had lifted her head until she whispered too, her small hand sliding over their joined ones.

I heard Nova whisper softly “Please don’t leave us Mommy.” I bit his lip, my chest aching as I pulled Nova closer again.

“Shh. She’ll hear you. She’ll come back. We just have to believe.”

The door burst open then, heavy footsteps pounding in, and my head shot up. My father was there. His face was tight with panic, his eyes immediately finding Miss Warrior on the floor, Nova in my

arms.

My breath caught, my heart pounding faster. Relief rushed through me, so strong it nearly knocked me over. My father was here. Things would be okay now.

Before father could reach us, I tightened my hold on Nova and whispered into her ear, more for myself than for her:

“She’ll be alright. She has to be. Miss Warrior never loses.”
