The Gift

"I have a gift for you so that the past never repeats itself." 

Chris gently hugged her and whispered, pulling out a round object from his pockets and showing it to her. Of course, he was intelligent enough to keep the pill hidden from others' eyes.

After all, an Awakening Pill was not a commodity that any Tom, Dick or Harry can carry around in their pockets.

"You want to be strong, right?"

"Yes." Cathy nodded resolutely to Chris's words, taking the smooth red coloured pill in her slender palms.

However, some other footsteps began to approach towards them and Chris gently whispered, "Later" and tucked the pill back into his pockets.

"Sister! Are you fine???" Cassie ran and hugged Cathy's waist as she questioned in a hurried and worried tone. 

"Cathy?" Max asked in worry as well.

"Mm. I am fine now." Cathy murmered in a low voice and separated from Chris and Cassie as she looked at the new arrivals.
