Chapter 6
“Tom,” she started, “no one has ever had an ability like that. Many healers have claimed to, but I have never seen it. Besides, I am a spirit. You are solid; even with the power you possess, I doubt you could.”
“May I try? You have had this in you for a long time,” Tom said, a sad smile on his face.
Sighing, Frilly only nodded, not really expecting anything to happen.
Tom walked up to her and held out his hands. Slowly, he walked around her, moving closer and backing away many times. Frilly had never seen anyone do this before, so she didn’t notice the glow forming around her for a few minutes. Suddenly, Frilly’s mouth dropped agape. What the hell...?
She felt a tingling and a warmth she hadn’t felt in over five centuries. It slowly crept up her body. Almost unable to move, she stared at Tom. Climbing higher, it soon reached her head, the warmth spreading, making her feel loved, embracing her as her mother had all those centuries ago. Turning, Frilly could only stare in amazement. With each passing moment, the pain started to fade until it was a dull distant throb. Then this too faded and was gone.
Frilly felt freer than she had ever felt. She felt lighter and happier, and though she could still see the death of her mother, it no longer plunged her into an abyss of sadness.
Unable to speak, she could only continue to stare at Tom. Who or what was he? He did things that no one could do or hadn’t been seen in ages. Finally finding her voice, Frilly had to ask, “How did you ... What did you ... WHY?” she whispered.
“The how and what, was I just thought of the joy you shared with your mother. Then I just amplified that feeling and stuck it in your memories at the front of everything. The why, well ... might take a long time to say. Let’s just say you deserved it after having this pain for so long,” Tom replied.
“But sir, I haven’t done anything to deserve this,” Frilly cried.
“I know better,” Tom replied. “You watched over me and tried to make me comfortable. I saw the blankets and pillows. Though you didn’t have to, you did. Therefore, this is my gift to you.”
