Soulfully Sweet Read online

  Branwen allowed the smile to appear. It hadn't even taken the full twenty-four hours. "All right then, go into the light."

  Viola blinked. "What?"

  Branwen pointed at a bright orb that suddenly appeared, hovering in the middle of the living room. "There it is. You want it? Take it."

  Viola frowned at the glowing ball. "But I'm alive, how can I go into the light?"

  Branwen sighed. "I'm a goddess, remember. You've got thirty seconds. Either go or stay. Your choice."

  "Can I have a cupcake for the road?" Viola asked, eyeing the box.

  Branwen grinned. She loved a fellow sweet-tooth and she felt kind of bad for tricking the girl. HQ would have never allowed Viola to stay human, but it was better the girl came to the decision on her own.

  "Sure." She held up the box. Viola grabbed a chocolate cupcake and took a delicate bite.

  "Best cupcake I ever had."

  "I know right?"

  The girl started to reach for another, but Branwen stopped her. "Enjoy the one you have. I'm sure they have much better cupcakes where you're going."

  With a nod, Viola stepped toward the glowing orb. With a flash, orb and girl were gone leaving behind no trace of their passing save a half eaten cupcake lying in the middle of the living room floor.
