She sat by the pool. She knew most of her kind didn't like water, but she was always comforted by it. She looked over at him, noticing he was still gripping the knife. She felt like if he were to try to use it he would do more harm then good, but she couldn't say anything to him. She just disreguarded it, and decided she'd do something about it later. Now wasn't the time. Sure there didn't seem to be much time less, but she knew now wasn't the time to discuss such things.

She shook her head. "I wouldn't say death bed...but..." She looked up at him. "I over heard the priests speaking. They say I'm going to join Mother in the realm of the gods. They say that's where all the flames go when they turn 15, but, I'm not sure how I'd get there," She said. She really was innocent. She had a hard time comprehending it even after she had been told what was going to happen, but to her brother, she'd basically told him she was going to die on the eve of her birthday.
