There had been a problem with what Hie thought would happen. See? This is why she shouldn't think. It only causes more problems. Julip wouldn't take her blood. She spat it out and gurgled, so Hie had to slap her to fix the problem.
Hie had to fix the problem she caused. This time, she just acted. No thoughts, no heart, no mind or emotions clouding her judgement. She had to survive at any cost now. She had to, Estel had blessed her and willed her to.
Perhaps nobody would notice the small and fragile baby gone from its crib, but that didn't seem to happen.
Hie ignored the shrieks. Who would care? She doubted any corpse would bring them comfort.
Julip took the child much better than Hie had hoped.
Oh, there goes the thinking part again. Hie couldn't help but compare herself to Julip. However, Julip took lives needlessly. Hie had no cure for her cur- her gift. Why would she cure a gift? Estel had blessed her this way.
Another thought occurred to her: What is Estel? She thought that maybe she had made the name up, or it could have been a teacher of sorts. What was Hie even? She didn't have the words to describe what she was. She didn't have the tool of language.
As her mind spiralled into chaos, there could be a scream heard ever so slightly at the very edge of the city.
