FAYEThe cold air in the cell was so frigid, my fingers were starting to lose all feeling. I sat in the dark cell, at the extreme corner, cowering in the cold, unable to hold back the shivers. The sweatpant and sweatshirt did nothing to help my situation. My clothing was too thin for the cold and damp dungeon.Rubbing my hands together wasn't helping much. My head hurt. And the cut on my feet was starting to hurt. I really don't mean to cause so much trouble, but it seems like that's all I'm good for. All that blood on Nathan was Lannon's. I shut my eyes tightly, trying to keep my fear down. Lannon had a strong and powerful wolf. He was second in command for a reason. He just couldn't die! No! That would mean my sure demise. I had caused them this misfortune and I couldn't even do anything to help the pack. They hated me even more now; I was sure.And the look on Nathan's face. I whimpered in the dark. He'd been livid. I'd gone and incensed him, and now he cared nothing for me

NATHANI saw red."He's going to die." Zelda whispered avoiding my eyes. "Wh... What do you.. what do you mean he's going to die?" Carolyn asked with a stutter."He'll die if something is not done." Zelda said. I shoved both hands in my pockets, flexing and unflexing them as remaining still was becoming a great difficulty. "You're a powerful witch. Isn't there something you can do?" I'm beginning to wonder if I should actually leave Lannon in Zelda's care, if she's already preparing to to pronounce him dead. Lannon couldn't die. I couldn't let that happen. I won't let that happen."There is only one herb that I know that may be able to help him." She finally said."Then fucking use it!" I growled."The herb is rare. It's almost extinct. I don't have it." She said with resignation in her voice.She really was giving up."Why not?" I asked her and I almost let the anger turn me."Calm down, Nathan." Carolyn said. My eyes had already changed and I knew I had to get a grip. I took in

FAYEMy eyes slid open and shut tightly against the blinding light. It had hit me with so much force I was almost blinded. Why was everywhere so bright and white?When I opened my eyes, it was to a stark white ceiling. The walls too, were a milky white. I looked down at myself. I was lying on what looked to be a hospital bed, in a hospital dress. What was happening?I looked at the drip pierced into my hand, and I could see where it hung over the bed. I was in a hospital. But why? Last I remembered, I was in the dungeon. Why was I in the hospital and who had brought me here?I raised my head up from the pillow and immediately dropped my head back. It felt too heavy on my neck. I was far too weak. I silently took in my surroundings, noting that the room itself was a big one compared to the smaller, often shared rooms in hospitals I'd been to before. My tummy felt tight from the need to pee and I considered what to do with the needle stuck in the back of my hand.Just when I went

FAYEMy eyes felt heavy when I tried to open them. My throat was itchy and my head throbbed. I lay still in bed, waiting for the heaviness in my eyes to go away.I'd been in bed for two more days doing nothing. Only resting, like Maya had said to do. Why did she care if I got better? She probably was keeping me here for a reason. The door opened and someone walked in. I peeked out of one eye and saw the same nurse from yesterday. She walked in carrying a tray with her.She walked straight to the window and pulled the curtains open and it felt like someone shoved the sun up my head. "It's too dark in here. You don't mind me pulling up the blinds, do you?" She asked.Ha, funny. She was only asking after she had already pulled the curtains open. She came to me and changed the IV bag into a smaller bag."Um... Is this my normal dosage?" I asked as soon as the extreme pounding in my head lessened."Oh, yes. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier. A lot has been going on. You're being disc

FAYE I turned around in a circle, trying to remember at which point I had gone the wrong way. I was pretty sure I walked toward the lights, but then again, I couldn't see as well in the dark as I had earlier from my room. And the trees shrouded the entire area in thick darkness. Should I try to retrace my steps back to the house? But if I did, I would definitely get caught. I was already lucky I had gotten out without being seen. I took a deep breath and decided to continue. Looking ahead, I saw the faint glow of lights that played peek-a-boo with the leaves. I exhaled. I'll just head in that direction. It had to be Maya's house. As far as I knew, it was the only house in that area. I hastened my steps and walked for minutes before I came out to a rocky road. I moved to cross to the other side when suddenly a horn blared at me. I turned towards the sound and stood in shock as the car sped to where I stood in the middle of the road. Was it Nathan? Had he discovered that I'd
