Bring Her To Me

She fell to the ground, burying her head in her hands. Cordelia ran her hands through her hair, grasping at them tightly. She felt as if she was going to explode. Laina didn't know what to do at first. 

But a wave of emotion compelled her to take a step forward. So, she did. She opened her arms again. This time, she successfully gave Cordelia a hug. The purple-haired witch struggled at first. But eventually, she stopped. 

Through Laina's embrace, she felt a warmth she had not felt in ages. It was familiar and soothing. For just a flicker of a second, Cordelia caught a glimpse of her family. 

Returning to the present, Laina removed her hand from Cordelia's forehead, severing the mind-link they shared. Cordelia shook her head, trying to make sense of everything she had learned. She glanced over to Laina, uncertain of what to say.
