196\u2013Healed My Daughter\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
We reached the well faster than expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The full moon hung above us, but the darkness around the area seemed completely unreal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even the flashlight Graham was holding barely made any difference.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While the children stayed in the car, I went to the well with Graham.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My cell phone screen lit up nonstop, so I checked the emails.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There were dozens of messages, alerts and complaints from parents saying their children were having another fit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was extreme this time, and they had started hurting their siblings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At this point, I informed Graham that we did not have time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He told me to email the mothers and tell them to bring only the affected children to our guest house.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was unsure if it would work, but he commented that hope was all we had.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By the time we grabbed the water and went back, they would already be there, and no time would be wasted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So I did exactly what he asked me to do.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now he had to lower himself into the well. He climbed onto the stones.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The well looked narrow, almost sealed shut from the top at this hour of the night, especially because of the full\u00a0<\/p>\n
moon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The magical part of it made the darkness inside much deeper than normal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No light reached the bottom, so Graham was going in blind.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I watched his body disappear into the darkness. Then there was only silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
No sound of water, no movement, nothing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was so quiet that it felt like no one existed around this area, as if I did not exist either.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seconds turned into minutes and my heart began to pound in my temples.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGraham,\u201d I called anxiously, fidgeting with my fingers, but nothing came back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It seemed as if the well swallowed not only my voice but Graham too.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The children were still in the car and they were safe for now, but the longer the silence went on, the more anxious I became.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What if the well had trapped him? What if it would not let him climb back up?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just when panic started to rise, a hand reached out through the darkness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I gasped and grabbed it quickly. Graham pulled himself up with force, his arms shaking from the effort.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When he climbed out, his clothes were soaked and he carried a container filled with water.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s go,\u201d he urged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I hurried toward the car, but when I opened the door, my heart dropped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elara was having another fit. Her eyes were unfocused and she kept banging her fist against the seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bodhi and Gina were crying, trying to sit as far away from her as possible, but since Gina was closer and strapped in, Elara had scratched her arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Graham opened the bottle without saying a word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He placed a small amount of water in Elara\u2019s mouth. For a second, everything went still and I prayed that it worked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then her breathing slowed down and her eyes returned to normal.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMommy,\u201d she whispered as if nothing had happened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My hand covered my mouth as hope stirred inside me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt worked. Graham, it worked,\u201d I told him, watching him with hopeful eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we still need to know if it is the water that helped her,\u201d Graham replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then he looked at Elara. He remembered what I had told him about Hailey instigating her, so he began to test her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you want to kill your siblings? Do you?\u201d he shouted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I covered my ears. It was painful to hear, but it needed to be done.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Instead of reacting with another fit, my daughter started to cry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. They are my siblings. I will not let anyone kill them or hurt them,\u201d she cried.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as she said that, Graham turned to me and gave me a hopeful look. It worked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My daughter was free of the sickness. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
We rushed back home and found our living room filled with mothers and their affected children.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Graham was helpful that night. I took my kids into the room to tend to the scratches on Gina\u2019s arms while Graham stayed with the others.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After I put my kids to sleep, I stepped out again and helped the children take the cure. Thankfully, all of them were cured.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once everything settled and the families started to leave, I wandered outside to watch the last few parents walk\u00a0<\/p>\n
away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Graham and I were exhausted. We stood on the road, saying goodbye to the final couple.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sky had already started to brighten. It was early morning, a slow and quiet morning.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was when my eyes landed on someone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Silver and Elgin stepped out of their rooms holding hands, as if they were going for a walk.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment they saw us, Elgin rolled his eyes while Silver smirked at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSee, I told you, baby, she does not need anyone. She has too many,\u201d Silver remarked, pulling her hand through his arm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou were right. I would rather be with a woman who is loyal and only for me than someone who the goddess knows will only be satisfied if a number of alphas go in and out of her,\u201d Elgin commented. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
His words made me stare at him in disbelief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
