Chapter 30
Mary's P.O.V
Shopping and just getting out of the house felt good. Dora, of course, made it a lot of fun and with Dad fast asleep we had more than enough time to go into each and every clothing store we wanted and try on anything we liked without having someone breathing down our necks, whining that he wants to go home.
I don't think I have smiled as much as I had today in a very long time. It made me feel a little better and honestly a little lighter. Dora did try and get me to talk to her but I wasn't ready to spill everything yet. I first wanted to try and make some sense of it first and then when I believe that I have everything figured out I will ask Dad and Dora and sit down at the table with them and tell them everything that I had figured out up till then.
Exhausted and with a lot more than we went out to buy we walked into the kitchen laughing. We forgot to be as quiet as possible not thinking that sleeping beauty would still be at the table

Ryder's P.O.VWaking up from the noise I felt my neck had gone stiff from falling asleep at the kitchen table. Remembering that Dora had asked me to go with her to the shops I jumped up to go and get ready only to see that it was them making the noise from putting the bags down. It looked like she and Mary had already gone to the shops and judging from the amount of bags they went into each and every store as they usually do when I do not go with them."Did you girls at least have fun along with all the work I see has been purchased for us?"Mary got that adorable smile she always used to show us on her face for the first time in the last while and it just made me feel a little happier that she and Dora went out and had some time together away from me. I was also hoping that maybe she had gotten something from Mary."Maybe. Most of it is not any work for you but more for me and Dora anyways."She took some of the bags from the tab

Dora and I made snacks and dinner for the games night beforehand so that we could just eat whenever we were hungry throughout the play. Mary usually only ate bits here and there so usually dinner on games night is something that you are able to eat without it getting cold and falling apart when you leave it for a while before returning to it.I haven't seen or heard from Mary after the hug but I knew she would not go anywhere and join us for the games night tonight because she agreed to it and she seems to be happier these few days since the move. I did hear her in the study a little earlier so I assumed that she had been looking up where and what the town has to offer other than what she and Dora saw when they went shopping.I know that she loves to go and sit in the library sometimes because the librarian from most of the other towns would call me and tell me that she had been sitting there reading for hours and that she was safe in case I had been worryi

Two years laterMary's P.O.VA whole week before it's my birthday. My sweet sixteen as it's more commonly known. I know Dad and Dora are planning something because they have been so secretive lately and each time I walked into the room they stopped talking only to continue with something that I really do not believe is what they were talking about beforehand.I already know what my wish is going to be when I get the chance to blow out the candles on my cake that Dad has never failed to make me. I'm going to wish that I do not blackout anymore and when I wake up I'm covered in blood and sometimes other human body parts. It's usually when Dad and I have had a run-in with each other when he doesn't want to let me go out with the little friends that I happen to make whenever we move to a new town.I really thought that the moving around would stop once I had gotten older but in fact, it had only caused it to get more frequent. I don't kno

Dad and Dora visibly relaxed after I told them what I thought they wanted to say to me. I knew this could not be the adventure planned for my birthday unless we would be having lunch on some mountainside somewhere. Dad must have seen me looking at the picnic basket because he chuckled before taking the basket and motioning for me and Dora to follow him. "This is not your birthday adventure. I just wanted to have a family picnic somewhere quiet before your friends take you away from home for their birthday celebrations that they probably would want to have with you. I don't only want to be able to spend time with you again on or even after your birthday." He could sometimes get so sentimental with me that I would be in tears. "Family outing. I got it. I want to go and get changed into some better shoes. Meet you guys outside?"Standing outside the kitchen door I listened to Dad and Dora talking again. Dad mentioned something to her that he would in fact be telling me today and that

Hearing the crunching of the leaves and the breaking of the branches sounding like a whole army heading our way had Dad and Dora worried as they had started packing up the basket and everything as fast as I had ever seen that happen."What is happening? What are you doing?""Pack we need to leave now."Still not sure why I needed to pack I started helping them get everything packed up."Run back home, get your to-go bags and get to the car as soon as possible. We need to get out of here and away before they catch up. If I am not back in the next ten minutes go without me and I'll try my best and meet up with you. The address to run to is in the car's glove compartment. Now go."Dad tried pushing me and Dora to run towards the house but I was not leaving him here alone to face the army that we could hear coming closer and closer with each passing second. Why had I been training all these years if I was just going to be pushed to ru

Ryder's P.O.V Hearing the crunching leaves and breaking branches alerted us that someone was coming and that they were coming fast. I knew it was not the people after Dora because she would have been incapacitated by now with how close they were to us. I knew it had to be either the rebellion or the royal guard. I didn't want Dora or Mary to be here to find out who it was along with me, so I had them go along to the car for so long. I could see Mary struggling to listen to me, and I had to force her gently to go along with Dora to the car, but it is for the best and for her best. If they would find her here with me they would have dragged her back after they had killed me and Dora and made her do their bidding if it was the rebellion and if it was the royal guard they would have done the same except they would not have dragged her back but they would have taken her back to her parents if they were still alive. After she had disappeared, they had closed off, and nobody had seen them i

I honestly don't know what I did to anger the moon goddess because she did not listen to my prayers. We had not gotten far away before the three were on our tails again. This time, they weren't being safe around Mary anymore, and they were doing whatever they felt was necessary to get her from the car. I didn't have the time to look back and make sure that she was safe and not scared out of her mind because one wrong move on my part could send us all to an early grave, if not lifelong imprisonment. They had shifted and were chasing us in their wolf forms, bumping against the car every once in a while, biting at the tyres making me swerve before getting back control. I could barely keep the car on the road as it was but with the nipping and everything, they were making it a lot more challenging to keep it steady. Just when it looked like they were backing off, one of them managed to get a good enough bite into the tyre and have it run flat. Not being able to continue with the flat

Dora's P.O.V Ryder left to go and make sure that there would be no werewolves here that would cause us trouble before he signed the lease for the house he had gotten us. The fact that we would only be able to occupy it in a few days because the owner said she was still getting it ready for renters was making me uneasy. I mean Ryder said that he had booked this place a while ago when he was working out the plan ahead of time so she knew there were people coming here to rent it so she could have made sure that she had it all ready before now. I just found it strange that she didn't make sure that the place would be done and ready when she had gotten the rent request from Ryder and accepted it from her side. It made me suspicious and I shared these with Ryder before he left and he said that he would check it out and make sure before we jumped to any conclusions. I agreed but that didn't mean that I would sit back and let him do everything on his own. I had my own ways of finding out i
