Title: Purpose Rating: G For: ValaPrompt: 1. Alanna when George returns home without Aly Summary: George tells Alanna that he's found Aly. Notes: Enjoy! “Well?” George held Alanna’s shoulders and examined her carefully. Her face was pinched and weary, showing the toll of a difficult summer, but also fear about what news he might bear. “I found her,” he whispered, hoarsely. “She’s safe.” Alanna’s face crumpled and he took her in his arms, shushing her and stroking her back as she heaved sobs. He may have wiped away a few tears of his own as they clung to one another in the stuffy field office. “Where is she?” George paused. He’d spent some time considering how to break Aly’s decision to her mother. “She’s found her purpose,” he whispered. “She’s in the Copper Isles, protecting two very special young ladies and their family from those who’d harm them. You’d be so proud of her.” “You didn’t bring her back,” cried Alanna, withdrawing from his arms. “George, you were meant to bring her back!” “I know. I wanted her to come back too.” He moved to hold her again but she turned away and scrubbed her eyes impatiently. “I just want our little girl.” “Lass, she chose to stay,” he said, holding her again. “She’s not our little girl any longer. Though, that girl is still in there, I’m sure.” Alanna sniffed and breathed deeply. Another few breaths and she wiped her face with the handkerchief he’d pressed into her hand. There’s my lass, he thought. Marshaling her forces. “You said she’s found purpose,” she said finally. “Tell me about these two special young ladies.”

Thank you! This is gorgeous, exactly what I was looking for. It's a side of Alanna that you don't get to see often and you displayed it perfectly.
