"You are not her." Neveah said again, her eyes fluttering closed to contain her emotions.
"Perhaps... but I could tell you of her if you wanted." The woman offered with a quiet chuckle.
"How would you know anything of my mother?" Neveah asked with a frown.
"There are things your heart knows...but your mind does not. I could show you your heart... and in return, you must give me your life." The woman bargained.
"Why would I be willing to make such an exchange?" Neveah asked in a low tone.
"You need not be willing. Where is your rage? Where is your fire? Why do you fail to move your own feet?" The woman taunted.
"In this world, only your greatest nightmare weakens you."
"Your longing for one you have never known, is this not the greatest shackle around your heart?" The woman asked again.
