"I wish you just didn't have to worry, Mary." Katie said with true intent in her voice. In that instant the ring glowed. Katie saw something shift in the eyes of the little girl. The anger suddenly dissipated and a confused look appeared on her face.
"Katie?" She asked.
Katie blinked. "Yeah?"
"What are we doin' here? Shouldn't we join the other girls?"
"Uhm, yes of course, but don't you remember anything?"
Mary frowned, "Nope."
"How old are you sis?" Katie asked a slight tremble in her voice.
The little girl grinned, "Eight silly." She didnt even seem to notice she was still wearing her oversized clothes. Katie realized that the Ring had reset her sister's age, her mind, her body her very spirit. Something in the Ring told her that from now on, she would always have this aspect, but did that mean the adult Mary ...her best friend was lost forever?
