Shifted Fate (Amy) novel Chapter 490

The anger dissipated a little, and I felt like I could think clearly. I took a deep breath as Megan ran the rest of the way to the cabin and we shifted right as the back door opened. My mother stepped out with a frown. “Where have you been?” She growled softly. “I woke up, and you were gone.”

I snorted. “I went for a run.” I tried to slip past her, but her hand snapped out.

“That’s all?” Her eyes tightened, but I just kissed her.

“Let’s sit down for breakfast and I’ll go over what happened.” She watched me for another second and then nodded. We walked into the cabin and Wendy was serving the two girls breakfast.

“Hey.” She turned to me and lifted a brow. “You went out early.” I nodded.

I turned to the two girls. “Once you two eat breakfast, can you guys do me a favor?” I walked over to Carly and kissed her head.

“Of course.” Carly bounced as she smiled up at me.

“Yes.” Abby smiled.

I looked her over and rubbed her head. “How are you feeling today?”

Abby’s smile got bigger. “Great.” She did a little shimmy in her chair. “Better than any of my best days.” She looked up at me with wide, happy eyes. “Am I really cured?”

“You tell me.” I laughed. “You just said that you feel better than you have felt, even on your best days.”

She nodded. “I’m not tired and there is no pain.”

Rick and Shelly came to the doorway for the dining room. I winked at them over Abby’s head. “Any symptoms at all?” I questioned with a raised eyebrow.

She really thought about it before she shook her head. “I feel good.”

“Bright side?” She looked at me. “We are leaving today.” I watched her tense. “He will be dead within the week.”

She shuddered. “I don’t know if I’m that ready.” Her voice was a whisper.

“You are.” My mother’s voice rang out behind us. We both turned to see her coming up the rest of the stairs. “And if you aren’t, then Amy can help you take out the threat. But,” she came over and grabbed Lynn’s hand. “You are stronger than you think you are. And you can do this.”

Lynn took a deep breath and then nodded. “I can do this.”

My mom nodded. “You hold the power to your own destiny. And you can take back your life.”

Lynn nodded, then turned to me. “I’ll be ready.”

“Good.” Then I left them to shower.
