Beyond My Knowing, chapter 31

In her arms, Kes held her wife as she cried along with her sister. Because Miteza was her sister, by marriage. Anara hadn’t quite let herself think of her that way, any more than she’d truly thought of Tulk as her brother for years, but she knew now she’d been wrong not to. Because Miteza had been her sister all along. She’d protected Vastu and raised him as her own. And she’d… she’d always cared. Anara met Kes’s eyes and they agreed wordlessly, Anara turning going up the stairs, Kes following behind.
When they got to the door of the room Miteza, Artem, and Vastu were in, Artem turned and met Anara’s eyes. Anara and Miteza’s eyes widened and she gasped. Her eyes met Kes’s then and she and Anara felt Miteza’s fear. ”It’s all right, I won’t hurt you, I promise.” Kes spoke soothingly.
Anara went over to her sister and got to her knees and hugged her. ”It’s all right, my sister. Everything will be alright…”
”I’m sorry… I’m so sorry…” Miteza told her, shaky and still scared and feeling raw inside. Artem looked to Kes a moment, Kes nodded to Vastu, who was just sitting there quietly, not looking at anyone, withdrawn into himself. Artem went over to him and sat with him. The boy reacted, worry and fear and hurt in his heart. Kes smiled though as Artem seemed to bring the boy out of himself again. He was still in shock though, traumatized, Kes realized. Seeing what he’d seen. Then having both Artem and Thalla leave him. He thought it must be his fault. That he must have caused this somehow.
Kes went over and knelt beside Vastu and Artem. She touched her… Vastu was her son, she really realized that now in a way she hadn’t quite realized until now. On an emotional level. She touched his face, his hair a little, and he met her eyes, fear and incomprehension there. ”It isn’t your fault.” She told him softly. ”I promise, none of it was your fault.” Kes felt fear, not Vastu’s, but Miteza’s. She turned to meet her eyes.
”Kes won’t hurt him. She won’t hurt you, I… I swear it to you, upon my blood and bones.” Artem told her sister.
