      The Heir - Sarah Barnard

      The Heir

      Heather ran the damp cloth over the dusty shelf where she kept her favourite books. She hated to see the dark wood of the shelf obscured by the pale layer and a damp cloth was the only thing that really got rid of the dust. She lifted the pile of books and rearranged them as she put them back, straightening the spines and making sure no pages were curled or caught and folded. She paused to breathe in the bound pages, so special, so distinctive; the smell of a loved paperback.

      Sometimes she thought books were the best part of this world. She loved curling up in the comfy armchair in front of the fire and losing herself in the story contained within the pages.

      Samuel wouldn't be home until the weekend - almost a week away now - but this was the life she'd chosen. To be with him, to walk away from her family and her home. She missed her old life, but was happy here all the same.

      Loud, urgent hammering on her door startled her from her thoughts.

      Heather! Are you there? Heather, I need you!

      Heather stopped, froze in position at the voice shouting from outside. A voice she'd not heard in years, but that was as familiar to her as her own.

      Lilith, she breathed softly, dropping the cloth to the shelf and racing to the door. She flung it open and there she stood, outside, out of breath and pale. With dark hair shot through with strands of shining copper, and pale, ice blue eyes, Lilith was taller than Heather but not by much. Heather was older, only by a few minutes but, things had not turned out as they should. The oldest daughter should have inherited the title, the power and the magic. A few moments younger, yet Lilith had shown the magic since she was a child whereas all Heather could do was heal. The rest was closed to her. Lilith glowed with the power and the range of what she could do outshone even their mother.

      Come in. Heather took a step away so Lilith could enter. She frowned. Her sister was unsteady, and clearly in some sort of trouble. Heather stared. Lilith was pregnant. Very pregnant, and Heather's healer's
