Danica didn't bother to look behind her to see if Monica or Rebecca was chasing, from the sounds of feet hitting the ground it was clear they were and that they were catching up on her quickly.Making a sudden turn Danica began to weave in and out of the trees trying to throw the two women off.  She couldn't allow herself to be caught, because if she was chances were she would be killed and then Mason would never know of the double agent that was roaming within his pack.With this thought Danica increased her speed making a detour deeper into the woods on one side before curving back around and bolting to the other hoping that Monica or Rebecca hadn't seen the move she made.Panting she stopped and attempted to mindlink with Mason, praying that she wasn't too far.  When she felt a slight tug at her concious and then Mason's warmth she knew that she had succeeded.'Baby, I'm so sorry." Mason began hurriedly only for Danica to cut him off.

Gasping Danica shot up eyes flying open.  Looking around she found that she was still in the hospital, Mason who sat beside her looked completely lost as he took her in. Before Danica had any chance to ask what happened, he jumped up wrapping his arms around her tightly."DOCTOR!" He bellowed as he hugged Danica tighter.  "GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!""Mas..." Danica tried only for Mason to pull away and look at her, his eyes sparkling with tears."How?" He asked as a sob overtook him and he pulled her to him once more.  "Fuck how, thank the goddess."Danica couldn't keep up with what was going on as Dr. Williams and a nurse ran into the room both their eyes growing wide when they spotted Danica."How is this possible?" Dr. Williams muttered rushing forward and grabbing Danica's wrist to take a pulse.  "Steady...""What's going on?" Danica finally managed to get out as she fixed her gaze on Dr. William's."D

Mason didn't come after Danica as she continued out into the world and then towards the main street leading away from the training grounds and back to town. Feeling even more distressed Danica continued to move making her way back to what she knew and away from the new world that she had been residing in.Everything was as normal when Danica entered the heart of town, people bustled around going about their days, children played along the streets, and vendors tried to draw attention to their stalls where they were selling fresh produce and fish.  The whole scene was so normal and so mundane that Danica had a hard time believing that this world even existed.Around her people gave weird looks taking in Danica's beaten up state, but they quickly averted their gazes and moved around.  A few children who noticed pointed as their faces paled like she was a monster rather than a person herself.Danica couldn't help but laugh on the inside, if on

With each passing minute the effects of the wolfs bane intensified until Danica felt as if her entire body was on fire.  The room around laughed and cheered as she became unable to hold back her screams of pain.  Everyone was enjoying the show and even if she didn't want to give them what they wanted she couldn't stop."Isn't it wonderful?" The harpie queen asked giggling.  "Wolfs bane was probably one of the greatest discoveries in existence.  You wolves are quite annoying after all.""Shut up." Danica panted as pain roared through her.  "You are just a bitter old hag."Even though she knew that pushing the queens buttons wasn't the best of ideas, Danica couldn't help the urge she felt to piss the harpie queen off."You're playing with fire." The harpie queen warned getting up from her seat.  "Would you like me to cut that tongue of yours out so you can't speak ill of anyone ever again?"Biting back her reply Danica c

  'Danica...' the soft voice drifted into Danica's mind as she hovered between awake and unconcious.  'Please....' The wolfs bane that ran through her veins kept Danica from truly being able to be aware.  She could only guess that Marie was worried if she was fully alert she would try to contact Mason through the mindlink and give away what was going on. 'Please respond.' The voice seemed to be growing desperate.  'Where are you?' Trying to collect all her strength Danica did her best to connect with whoever the voice belonged to.  In her delirious state she wasn't fully able to place a finger on who was calling out to her, but she had a feeling it was Mason. 'I don't know.' Danica's voice came out in barely a whisper as she fought to stay aware long enough to communicate.  'Some underground holding cell.' 'Did you see the scenery when they brought you there?' Mason demanded as Danica felt his anger beginn
