Dora's P.O.V
After eating Ryder asked if I would go and help Mary get ready for bed and I gladly agreed. There was just something about this girl that drew you to her and you just wanted to be in her presence.
I opened the taps and started filling it with water that felt perfect for me and as soon as I saw that she was standing there ready I motioned to ask if she would need my help and if she would be able to bathe herself. She said that she would be fine on her own but if I didn't mind she would love me sitting with her and afterward when she went to bed if I would tuck her in.
I smiled and agreed. She was quite the chatterbox, talking about any subject under the sun and still making sure that I was following and not dozing off from our conversation. She really was one of a kind.
After she was clean she walked out to the little living room where Ryder was watching some show on the tv. When she walked into the room he turned it of

Dora's P.O.V When I woke up I was pleasantly surprised because usually, I would have the biggest headache from all the crying that I would be doing before passing out from exhaustion. When I went into the bathroom to go and wash my face to hide the evidence I was surprised to not see any tear streaks anywhere on my face. Come to think of it I didn't remember crying last night. I must have been overwhelmed and over-exhausted with everything that had happened during the day and there was no need for any of this. I smiled to myself thinking it could also be because I was happy for once in my life seeing Ryder and Mary and being able to travel with them and not having to be alone and scared the whole time looking over my shoulder and worrying when would be my last day as a free woman. After I washed my face I went and got dressed in my clothes that were neatly placed outside my door when I opened it up this morning. I wanted to go and make some breakfast for all of us but when I ente

Ryder's P.O.VI had made good progress getting to the stall on time and being able to get all the fruits and vegetables that I had wanted to get for the next while that I stopped at a few other stalls on my way to the clothing shops that I knew Mary would have dragged Dora to. When we first arrived I had shown her the shops that we could shop at and she gave them one look and walked into the other clothing stores finding what is now her favorite dress and leggings.It's not that I cannot afford it with what the rebellion is paying me but I didn't plan on using everything each month wanting to save some for when there would be trouble or when we needed to make a fast escape like we have had to do a few times already.Putting the bags of purchases into the trunk of the car I decided that those two must have already had enough time to get clothes for Dora and that I should start heading over there to pay for the items so we could get home. I had wanted

Dora's P.O.V I woke up on the bed in the house I share with Ryder and Mary. Remembering what had happened and that they had gotten so close that I didn't have the strength to continue on scared me a little. How did they find me so fast after the last trail mix-up I left them?They should have been halfway on the other side of the world looking for me unless they have someone here that warned them that I was in town. If that were the case then I have just compromised Ryder and Mary as well because their identities would also now be tied to mine in the search and even if we go our separate ways they would still get the needed information from them if they found them. Deciding that it was maybe time to part ways with them, I tried getting out of bed to leave as soon as possible but I wasn't able to. Looking over I saw that Mary had fallen asleep next to me on the bed and that if I was to continue moving I would wake her as well, and from what I have heard from Ryder if she is woken up

Eight years laterMary's P.O.VAnother day and another new town. I was honestly getting a little tired of the constant moving but being with dad and Dora made it a little easier and the fact that Dora was actually teaching me everything that I needed to know for school and life skills meant that I did not feel out when I sneaked off to meet the friends that I managed to make in every new place we moved to. They talked about school and this subjects and those subjects and finally, I had something that I could also talk to them about in this regard.I didn't ask why we were moving anymore because the one time I asked Dora and dad heard they told me that bad men were after Dora and that they knew that dad and I were helping her and subsequently they were now after us as well. I remembered what had happened all those years ago outside that clothing store when Dora had fallen into the heap and was in such pain from them just being near her that I was a

Everything started changing. At first, it was just my smell, and touch but now it was my strength, my taste, and my moods have also seemed to increase tenfold.Dora has also seemed to notice that my body was changing and I was hoping that she would chalk it up to me becoming a woman and not think something weird is happening and ask me anything.That would be where the trouble would begin. I have tried and practiced but no matter what I do I am not able to lie to either Dora or dad successfully. Something of my eyes or brows start pinching together whenever I am lying and that gives me away almost instantly.Training with dad has also become a lot more difficult trying to hold back the strength in me to 1) not hurt dad because although he is still fit and in shape he does tend to get out of breath a lot lately and 2) I don't want him knowing whatever is wrong with me and sending me away to somewhere far where we will never see each other ever a

He was pulling and pulling and no matter what I was doing to stop him wasn't working. When I didn't want or need the super strength I knew I had it but in a case such as this where I would want it so that I could use it and get away I didn't seem to have it anymore.Something in me was telling me to not be so scared and that I had to fight back but I just wasn't able to do anything and the man had almost succeeded in pulling me to where he had wanted me.I closed my eyes not wanting to see what was going to happen, imagining myself somewhere else, anywhere else just so that I could get away from here. I don't know why but after a while when I did not feel anything and it went quiet around me I decided that I would open one eye and just take a little peak.Oh, how I wish I didn't do that. How I wish that I had just stayed there with my eyes closed until someone had come for me. How I wished I did not wish for anything bad to have happened to the

Pushing the cloth away from me to have it back on my face again I decided that it was time to tell whoever was using the cloth that they were burning the flesh from my face with the hot cloth. I opened my eyes to see the town doctor and his wife staring down at me."Honey it's ice water. It shouldn't be burning you."She put it back on my forehead and it was still burning me so I took it off and kept it in my hands so she was not able to put it back on m face again."I need to go. My dad will be worried about me."I tried getting up to try and get back to dad when I felt that my body was strapped to whatever they had me laying on."What is this? Let me go at once."They were just staring at me and not even helping me. I know dad said to not trust them and that they were weirdly interested in me when we first arrived and that had me freaked out but they stopped after a while and I thought it was just because we w

Ryder's P.O.VI didn't know how and I didn't know why but that mark on Mary's neck was what happens when wolfsbane is injected into the body by force. I got the feeling that she wasn't telling me the truth about what had happened today and why she had to run from the doctor and his wife, although I never trusted them because when we arrived they were too interested in Mary and where we come from. They just had too many questions that I did not feel entirely comfortable answering. They didn't smell other than human but they could also be masking the scent the same way I am masking Mary's to stay hidden.I also didn't know whether they were working with the rebellion, for the rebellion, or for the royal pack, hell they could even be helping the people looking for Dora. This all made life a little harder, not knowing who to trust or who you can tell just this little bit more to and who to not even tell your name to."We need to find out how and by
