What a Wuss

"So what about Lilly, did you have a hand in her death?" I demanded.

"No I didn't, I......."

"Well ok did you manipulate the situation so that McFizzer of someone like him could do the deed?"

"No Tavis and please just allow me to speak so that I may explain. As you are now aware the car crash that killed your parents was no accident, I cannot be certain of the exact details because as I have already stated I had no part to play in the tragedy but I can tell you three things that I know to be irrefutable true.

One - the accident was instigated by Drufus who somehow cajoled or coned McFizzer into doing his dirty work.

Two - You only survived because of your natural ability to time travel, at the very moment of impact your god given instincts kicked in and flipped you through time, not very far just a matter of seconds but critically this was enough to deposit you outside of the vehicle and so safe from the flames. It is not uncommon in our kind for a traumatic experience to trigger the ability to travel and this is precisely what you experienced.

Three - Lily did survive - she is alive and in hiding."

The nine words Hartdegen spoke left me speechless and breathless, I stood looking down at him sitting cross-legged within his glass orb, eventually through torrents of tears I manage to string a sentence together. "Hiding - where? I must go to her she will be frightened and she is alone."

Hartdegen stood and smiled at me, "Yes - quite right you should be with your sister. Turn around Tavis."

My vision was blurred with tears but as I wiped then from my eyes and turned I could see someone running towards me, it was my sister.

"Lilly." I shouted. Laughing and crying.

"My god Tavis - look at the state of you." she said as she hugged me.

I wrapped my arms around her and whispered, "I thought you had gone I thought I had lost you forever."

"No such luck bro," she laughed, adding. "Have you got a tissue you are getting snot in my hair?"
