#Chapter 49: A Long Wait

Rowena

The week passed in a blur of security checkpoints, disinfecting stations, and growing anxiety.

By Wednesday, a knot of dread had taken up residence in my stomach. Talk about the ‘Wolf’s Fury’ virus was spreading faster than wildfire, and students were being pulled out of camp left and right—not just for quarantine if they showed even the mildest hint of symptoms, but also by concerned parents and guardians.

  RowenaEric held the umbrella over my head, his jaw set hard beneath his skin.For several long moments, I just stared at him, watching as his eyes fixed themselves on the pavement between our feet. And for those moments, part of me wanted to tell him to leave me alone—to go to hell with his umbrella, to get out of my sight after the things he had said.

  Eric“This Wolf’s Fury virus is spreading,” my father, leaning on his mahogany desk with his arms folded across his chest, said coolly. “Those who are searching for Rowena may intensify their search now.”My mother, who was standing by the window and watching as the gardener pruned the hedges outside, nodded in agreement. “I’d like to pull her out of school, but she simply refuses. I’d say the girl is as stubborn as you, Edward, if it weren

  RowenaEvery little sound felt like it was amplified by a thousand as I sat in the library, hunched over my textbook. I had been reading the same page for what felt like forever, but each hushed whisper, each creak of the door opening, every buzz of the fly that had taken up residence around my table was deafening.Groaning softly under my breath, I clamped my hands over my ears in one last desperate attempt to focus.

  RowenaSo Eric was on the list.It shouldn’t have bothered me. I shouldn’t have had a care in the world about it. Eric was my brother and nothing more; anything that happened between us was just a mistake, a momentary lapse in judgment brought about by his three years away from home. The distance between us had simply made us confused, and soon we would just look back on it and cringe.

  Rowena“Well, well. Looks like your fifteen minutes of fame is finally coming to an end.”Heather’s shrill voice sounded even more grating on my ears than normal. I turned, still holding the cool metal of the water bottle to my neck, to see her standing behind me. She was dressed in her cheerleading uniform as usual, her blonde hair pulled up into a high ponytail. From where she stood over me, she looked almost giant.

  RowenaThe first thing I noticed was the aching—no, searing—pain in my head. Next, I felt the same pain lower, in my ankle this time. In fact, my whole body hurt, but I was still too far away from consciousness to groan.Then, I heard the voices: two voices, in fact. My father and Eric.
