You lie on your bed, your hands shaking as you reach out to touch your grand-daughter's cheek, "You've made me proud, Cat...you've grown into a fine young girl..."
Your grand-daughter, only eleven years old, sobs and hugs you tightly, her head against your chest, "I don't want you to go Grandmamma, you were always so nice to me, you told such great stories!"
"Its a part of life, darling...nobody escapes it." Maddi silently agrees with you.
"Wonder what will happen to me when you go...we've been such great friends...I don't want to remain in this body while you die, I want to be with you..."
You nod your head slowly and sigh, "Honey, Cat...I have a present for you..." you reach into the drawer beside your bed, and pull out the amulet, making one final wish to let Maddi have a new home inside your grand-daughter, "She's been with me for many years Cat, never forget that..."
Cat looks down at the amulet you placed in her hands and wipes a tear from her face, "Isn't this the amulet you always told me about...?
"...Yes, the one that can grant any wish...try it honey...one...last...time..." with one final shuddering breathe, you breath your last breath.
Cat bursts into tears and hugs you tighter, but she isn't the only one crying...
