“Where am I? What happened to me?” Our mother tried to sit up as her eyes fluttered open. She looked around the room, dazed and then the panic set in.

“Why am I here? What is going on?” She started to pull at the tubes and wires off her while Cora called for the doctor.

In a few moments, the pack doctor and a couple of nurses had calmed mother down with a sedative since she was freaking out and disturbing the other patients.

“Your mother needs to rest now for a bit. Once she is awake, we will call for you.” The doctors said and I agreed. She would be a bit better once she had slept it off.

Cora and I walked out of the pack hospital to get some fresh air and discuss what we would do next since Daniel was not coming back and if Uncle Ed head about this, he would demand I return.

I could not leave my family here at Pembroke again.

My mother was broken, and my sister would have nobody else since goddess knows where our father was.

Not that I would want to see him.
