"I know you're upset with Elijah, but this wasn't his doing."

"I didn't say I was upset, I'm just keeping an eye on my sister."

"Could have fooled me."

"Well sorry for worrying about my sister this was supposed to be a special day for her and him."

"Yeah I know."

Laura just sighed putting her head into her hands. "Why isn't she waking up or something Cal?"

"I don't know."

Laura chewed her lip. "Maybe you should go speak to Elijah about this..."

"I will when he gets here."

"I'm here Caleb." Elijah walked to them.

Laura lifted her head when she heard his voice. "She hasn't woken at all yet...hasn't even made a sound.."

"I know, but the elders said that it is likely that she won't...They done this to spite me..."

Laura just stared at him almost as if she didn't understand him.

"This is all my fault." He sighed.

Laura took in a slow deep breath. "I'm going to take her home..."

"I wouldn't." Caleb and Elijah advised.

"Why, you think I can't handle her if she does wake?"

"It's not you, you can, your family can't, te town can't."

"My mother handled me just fine, I'm not leaving her here. This isn't what she wanted."

No, she would have wanted to be where she has a chance of hurting her family." Elijah told her sarcastically.

Laura glared at him angrily. "Then take her somewhere else!"

"Stop it!" Caleb suddenly shouted. "None of this is helping Marie."

Laura was about to shout something back but was cut off by a pain filled scream coming from Marie.

Elijah walked to where Marie was and he gently took one of her hands. "It's okay." He whispered, running a hand through her hair.

"I- I'm sorry..." She whispered gently lowering her head in shame for yelling at them.

Marie twist and turned in pain her screams only getting worse.

Elijah held Marie close.

"Come on, let's just leave them alone for a bit." Caleb told her, walking outside.
