**this is part 3 of a 3-part story.  parts 1, fear-driven, and 2, renegades, are up and available on my profile**  sacrifice synopsis: back home, on the beach, and all to find aber’s sister again. well, they’ve found her, and it’s not quite what they’ve expected. the world is upside down and backwards and the only way to make sense of it is to find the people who make sense of you. a reminder of the characters (plus a few updates):  ABER -- he has spent all this time trying to get away from his wife and back to his sister.  but now that they are here and he has to choose, the choice is harder than he thought.  AVA -- she’s a miracle.  she’s a brat.  she’s the most important person in the world.  she has no idea what she’s doing.  she’s losing her mind.  she is going to save them all or die trying.  again.  NUA -- he got away.  he went back.  he must be out of his mind. ABIGALA -- what has she been doing for the past year?  isn’t that the million-dollar question.   PENNY -- family reunions are never fun, per se.  especially not this one. BAYAN -- everything happens the way it was meant to happen.  but why was this meant to happen?   and LILLY -- everything comes down to her.
