Broken Ties
As Lily sobbed, Tom held his mate close; his arms trying to comfort her as she watched the casket lower to the ground. Max held Gemma in front of him as tears fell from her eyes while holding her brother’s hand in one of her’s.
Nait took a deep breath as he blessed the ceremony, his eyes red as they stood huddled together. Jon stroked Gemma’s hair lovingly, his eyes suspiciously wet. When Nait finished the blessing, the casket finally rested; He took a handful of soil and threw it down on top of the casket. As others followed his lead, he stood back and sank into Lily’s arms as she shook with her pain
“There’s not many of us left any more” Lily sobbed “He was our rock and the last blood elder”
“Mum” Gemma sobbed before throwing her arms around her brother and mother
Max, J
