My mother kept furiously rambling about how I was a stubborn child who never listened to her and just did what wanted repeating over and over of how dangerous and reckless it had been of me to jump into the fires

Technically, I had not jumped into the five. I had only lunged for the little boy who was probably around Lea’s age

I scanned the room and found the mother and the kid huddled in a corner. The boy had fallen asleep in his mother’s embrace and was still cluching his toy tightly.

His mother shot a guilty look at me for my mother was loud enough to awaken the dead from their graves while she kept mumbling about my recklessness.

“Thank you” the woman mouthed and looked away the moment my mother came forward to thrust a glass of water in my hand.

I only smiled in that woman’s direction and jerked my chin at her son as if to ask her if the boy was okay.

She nodded and thanked me again to which I smiled politely again and tore my gaze away from her.

My mother continued to ramble and I saw a few elders stare at me awkwardly before returning their gazes to the cups in their hands and sipping tea politely.

I did not have the strength to argue with my mother.

“Lea?” I asked again and she pointed in the direction of my bedroom.

“There are guards everywhere who would have saved the young boy but no, this girl has to do everything herself”

Her rambling kept reaching my ears as made my way towards the bedroom and pushed the door open.

Lea was sitting on the edge of the bed, her back facing me.

“Sweetie, are you okay?” I asked as I slowly took one step after another despite my body’s refusal to move,

“Lea, are you mad at me?” I asked and slowly reached her. She was sitting by the edge of the bed, fingers fidgeting and she was staring nervously at the floor.

I washed my hands first which was an effort in itself because my hands were covered in dirt and soot so it needed a bit of strength to rub those fingers. and chipped nails.

When I was finally done, I went back to Lea who had not said a word.
