Hope was silent in the face of how certain she sounded, leaving Jy alone to her thoughts. She was so sure that her mother had stripped herself of her powers, that part she was unfailing in. The part she didn't understand was why. If it was as terrible as everyone seemed to think, what could have driven her? What had she been so afraid of?
Hope, is there something I should know about my family, these days? she began asking, her tone unsure now, almost frightened. Some sort of threat or danger?
Hope took so long to answer that Jy was beginning to think she would refuse.
Danger? It's so extreme that half had to feign their own deaths, she admitted in a whisper.
