Chapter 46 Open Wounds

• I shouldn't have been looking. Even ten minutes later from seeing it, I was still frozen in shock.
• “Kabir, take her.” My sister was thrust to my chest, her body violently shaking as her cry pierced through the small boat in the open sea. Her cries drew me from my shocked state and I stared down at her. Blood covered her pale skin. She kicked her arms and legs, lips turning blue. The small jacket wrapped around her had slipped. I covered her fully, tried to wipe her face with the sleeve.
• Another cry reached my ears. I stared up, my mother, having given birth a few minutes before, looked so pale as she shivered.
