They parked back up within the barn, a few minutes walk from the clearing. The three of them grabbed a few bags each and followed the narrow dirt path. They climbed over low branches, logs and roots covered in moss. Finally they could see the large stone house as they left the tree line.The trio put their supplies away and Alissa grabbed a few bags of sweets from Michael's plastic bag before heading up the steps. She knocked before opening the big wooden door. She saw the lump under the covers stir as he sat up.Alissa produced one of the bags of sweets on the bed as she sat opposite Luca, crossing her legs. “Ah, I see you met Derek.” The edges of his lips turned upwards as he picked a stick of licorice. “What's his story, why is he so bad?” Luca chewed thoughtfully, “Nothing for you to worry about, we keep a close watch on him. How did you find being amongst so many humans?” he asked.“It wasn't too bad.” She didn't want to admit the panic she felt at first. “It's louder there, a

Alissa's huge form padded from behind the bed. Kristen's white wolf tackled her to the ground. Kristen's laughter floated into Alissa's head as their words became thoughts pushed to the other. Alissa huffed but started laughing too, she righted herself, pushing Kristen off her and managed to hold Kristen down. “Pinned you!” Kristen laughed struggling under Alissa's paws. She let go and made her way to the now yellow looking door. “Kristen! You didn't open the door!” Alissa pushed Kristen with her furry body in frustration.“Well you could have done it!” She argued back Alissa rose onto her hind paws so she could place both paws over the round door knob, trying to twist but her grip wasn't sufficient in her wolf form.Alissa huffed at Kristen “I can't do it!” “Let me try!” Kristen barged Alissa out the way as she also moved onto her hind legs to get to the doorknob but before her paws touched it. The doorknob twisted and the door creaked open. Kristen used her muzzle to pull the doo

Kristen got to the pale green front door. Felicity and Henry had recently done some work to their house. Yellow flowers now adorned the mantle around their front door creating an arch of yellow and green. The ivy stretching over the stone now had red roses climbing amongst the luscious green ivy, the colours contrasting perfectly. The nature weaving around the house accentuated with the moss all the buildings in their clearing had. Kristen pushed on the door which swung open, Kristen cackled as she quietly padded through the threshold.Alissa followed, her fur brushing against a small round table in the corner. A bouquet of purple and white flowers placed centrally on the small walnut surface. Kristen went right while Alissa went left, they could hear voices. Alissa rotated her ears to hear better. She quietly made her way through their kitchen, she could smell the bacon that they had eaten for breakfast. At the end of the kitchen she saw a plate, she sniffed up, on all four paws she

“Michael you ruined the plan!” Alissa cried in indignation. Michael laughed, “Not going to let two wolves have the upper hand.” He pounced on Alissa pinning her to the ground, the side table wobbled dangerously as Alissa knocked into it. Jack stood up as Kristen released him. The three wolves moved to the entrance hall, they looked back to see Jack taking his shirt off. The three looked in disgust. “What? These are nice clothes, I'm not ruining them!” Jack protested, Alissa huffed and looked away; she really didn't want to see Jack undressing. The three headed out of the house, a moment later Jack ran up behind them. “Can hear you now!” He nipped at Kristen's hind legs, she sped up giggling. Michael attempted to tackle Alissa again but she managed to dodge him and jumped back trying to land on him, she missed and they all laughed. They ran into the trees, branches breaking under their paws. They snapped at birds and caused a few bushes to burst with animals, birds, mice and badger

The day had arrived, Alissa woke early and headed straight downstairs. No-one was up yet, she sat in the sitting room wearing the maroon floaty blouse, black tailored trousers and black court shoes that Kristen had picked out for her. Luca was next to arrive, he looked so handsome in his dark grey suit, he sat next to Alissa, but neither of them spoke. Alissa fidgeted, her jitteriness evident.Luca placed his hand on her leg to stop it bouncing. “Alissa, today's going to go fine, stop panicking.”“I'm not,” she lied, noticing his hand hadn't moved from her leg. She removed his hand, lingering for a fraction too long before letting it go. She slipped off her shoes and crossed her legs on the sofa. “There.” She gestured to her legs making him smile.Jack and Kristen were next to arrive before Blake. Alissa sat up. “Blake, I'm sorry for what I said. Thank you for taking me into the human town.” She was sorry, but hadn't seen Blake since they had got back. Blake nodded, “Water under the

Luca finally appeared in the doorway, “The council are setting up in the dining room, they'll call when ready. Kristen could you make them some tea?” she nodded leaving the room. Alissa stood up moving towards Luca, “What happened?” she whispered.“He was arrogant, the council seemed displeased with him, but they need your story. He claimed no knowledge.” Luca leaned a little closer to her, “I was a little surprised they didn't speak to you first.” Alissa turned from him, her hands wringing again, her body quivered. Luca wrapped his arms around her in comfort. “Don't worry, you know what to say; the truth” he gave her a small squeeze before releasing her. Alissa pulled her hair over her shoulder, starting to play with it, twirling it in her fingers. A noise made her look up, the dark blonde haired man, Wade stood in front of them, “We are ready now.” Alissa looked to Luca, wanting advice, wanting permission wanting him to say she didn’t need to… anything. “You can come alone, or

Noise of jubilation rose from the sitting room as hands were punched in the air. Jack picked Alissa up and spun her round. “You did it!” He let her go. She looked around, not truly believing it. “What’s the Ceremony of Týr?” She racked her brains thinking of her history lessons “The Ceremony of- that's one of the death penalties.” She looked up at everyone. Jack nodded at her, “That's what you wanted. You were about ready to kill him yourself a few days ago.”“Yeah, but… I don't know, it feels-” she stopped, she didn't know how she felt, but it was not joy.“It's OK Alissa, you don't have to feel anything right now. He's getting what he deserves, he's being punished for what he did to your parents.” Luca looked her in her eyes, gently placing his hand on her shoulder. His calmness emanated and spreading to her. Alissa looked back into his grey eyes glinting in the light. She kept looking up to him. “Thank you, for everything.” She reached up to kiss his cheek and she put her arms ar

The room instantly relaxed, Luca fell onto the sofa. “I like the bloke, but he makes me tense!” Michael voiced what everyone thought. Alissa slapped her knees as she got up. “I'm going to get changed then make that cake.” “You know what? Great idea.” Luca also stood and followed her up the stairs. Alissa splashed her face with water, letting the coolness wash away all her feelings of the day. Another splash and she started feeling a little more normal. She changed into elasticated black jeans and a loose fitted t-shirt. The top had just gone over her head when Luca's voice came from the other side of her door, “You ready?” “Yeah,” she called back, the door opened.“Thought I'd help with that cake if you want?” Luca was now dressed in dark jeans and a navy v-neck. Alissa smiled and nodded, “If you want to help.”Alissa pulled the old cookbook down from the shelf. She knew the recipe by heart but she thought it would be useful for Luca to be helpful, instead of a hindrance. Flippi
