Rori wasn’t sure how long she cried for but her body convulsed with the creep of a chill and her toes were numb from sitting, she could still hear the disembodied voices of the spectruls Destiny had called for and sat up to the sight of two very kind-looking women whom she could also see right through. Rori stood up and licked her dry lips. “Could you please tell me where I can get something warmer to wear... I don’t mean to be ungrateful, but I am so cold.” One of the spectruls approached her and Rori put her hands at her sides and nodded slightly, the spectrul passed through her and Rori welcomed the joyful feeling, as the translucent woman came back around to greet Rori she smiled. “I heard you were a friendly girl. I see the others don't pull the chain today...how may we serve thee miss?” Rori licked her lips and opened her mouth to tell the housekeeper she didn't need to call her miss when the spectrul made

As Murdok burst into the room, he noted that the table was full of untouched food. He started to turn and leave when the sound of metal clanking together and a small shriek caught the attention of the beast within. He darted through the swinging door in the corner, only to be met with a flurry of commotion. Every spectrul in the area paused to stare at the master of the house with wide, unsure expressions. Rori noticed that all movement stopped around her, and she followed the line of sight to the large, looming figure in the doorway. Murdok wasn’t sure why, but as Rori turned, he suddenly wanted to wrap this slight woman in his arms and carry her to a quiet place where they could be alone, and he could just watch her beauty. Rori smiled and offered a small wave as a timer cried for relief, “oh! Get the souff
Rori woke screaming and covered in sweat, she felt a cold flurry over the surface of her arm and when she looked to the side a small set of large eyes stared at her. “Yee have the night fits miss,” Andy asked and Rori simply smiled and wiped her forehead “sometimes I do... but it’s alright I am used to them, I just need a glass of cold water to calm them down, and I can sleep.” Andy beamed a a broad grin and disappeared, only to reappear immediately holding a glass so crisp it was frosted over and already sweating. Rori shook her head as she took the cup, “thank you, Andy...how are you so fast?” she asked and watched as the young boy seemed to become almost nervous. Rori set the glass down on the stone floor and swung her feet off the side of the bed. The weight from the ankle cuff she wore still weighed on her foot, and she sighed heavily. “Everyone here thinks I am just like him... I despise him.” tears pricked at the corners of her eyes as th
Rori expected to enter a quiet and Stoic kitchen, but when Becca and Darla opened the main entrance to the gallery the warm blast of a fully functioning kitchen roared from within. Rori was immediately greeted by several spectruls with enormous smiles. Darla ushered Rori into the gallery and raised herself high above the crowd, “listen well and listen good our mistress and lady has bestowed this gift upon us and has graciously agreed to do so for the rest of you, but we will not overwhelm her with ourselves.” Darla looked around the room before she continued, “the master has left us with instruction, and we will do our best to follow his wishes while making our lady Rori as comfortable and as happy as we can.” Darla looked down at Rori and noticed that the young woman was simply staring up at her with what looked like an awe-struck admiration as disembodied murmurs traveled around the kitchen. Suddenly, the sound
The growing warmth from the glass made Rori stir in her sleep and as her eyes fluttered open the warm brown orbs of her mother's eyes appeared in front of her, and as Rori tried to wipe the fuzz from her sight, she noticed it would not disperse. Rori tried rubbing her eyes harder and finally heard the foggy sound of her mothers voice, “don't rub your eyes Rori dear, you know how much Henry doesn’t like it.” Rori nodded her head as Alma reached down and yanked her to her feet, suddenly Rori realized she was still in Murdok’s mountain and as she gained her balance Rori grabbed her mother by the arm. “Mom! We have to get out of here… this place isn’t safe for you to be in.” Rori started to panic, but Alma grabbed her daughter on either side of her face, “silly girl, what do you mean… Henry already spoke with your lovely young man, and they agreed you would live here now, isn’t that fabulous, darling.'' Rori pulled herself from her mother's grasp as she s
Destiny sat in her room curled around one of the pillows on her bed crying when Andy burst through the door, causing it to fly open and bounce off the wall. “Cheese and sprinkles, what is wrong with you!” Destiny screamed as she jolted upright in bed, still clutching the pillow to her chest, and Andy looked at her in a panic. “Oh young miss please, yee must come quick, must aid me.” Destiny slid from the bed but did not release the pillow she held. “why” she asked cautiously, and Andy began to shake his head back and forth. “It’s mistress Rori… she sleep in tha master’s study and is having a kind of fit… please young miss, I need yee help!” Destiny threw the pillow at Andy, and it sailed through the young spectrul as he scowled at Destiny, and she crossed her arms over her chest, “No way! She’s a liar… she works for Augustine… Murdok w
Through her confusion and tears Rori ran until her feet felt swollen and her lungs ached with every breath, as she slowed to a steady walk she tried to look around but whatever part of the mountain she was in had become dark and smelled musty, as if it had been a while since any life had graced the area. Rori shivered more from the solitude than any chill in the air, but as she wrapped her arms around herself and sank to the floor, she heard the slight sound of Andy’s voice, “dinna run miss, please… let Andy sit wit yee at least and kill the loneliness.” Rori sniffled and looked around “Andy?” she asked in a small hushed tone, “where are you, I can’t find you,” as her voice became almost frantic a gust of wind blew through the corridor, and suddenly, it lit with the soft glow of small fires lining the walls. Rori gasped as she watched the delicate flames snake around the sid
Destiny pulled Rori into the mountain and back toward the bedrooms. The small giggling troll shoved Rori into Murdok’s room, and as Rori stumbled inside, she was immediately met with three rows of rolling wardrobe racks full of clothes and the smiling face of Calder. Rori gasped as Destiny shot past her and stretched her arms out in front of herself, “TADA!” She sang loudly. Destiny touched a few garments hanging on one rack and shrugged. “I realize it’s not the same as your own things but… I thought maybe if you had something that was yours, you could feel more at home here.” Rori flung herself into Destiny’s unsuspecting arms and squeezed her tight. “Destiny… I don’t even know what to say, this is the most amazing thing anyone has ever done for me. Why would you go through all the trouble.”? Destiny pushed her forehead against R
Rori wasn't sure whose arm she was holding or whose heartbeat was pounding in her ear, but she knew she felt home and safe sandwiched between her friends. The sound of shouting voices pulled the huddled trio out of their cocoon of shock and joy as Arthur, Mina, and Max came running into the room. Mina gasped as Mason and his sister stepped to the side, revealing Rori’s still sniffling frame. Arthur stepped forward and opened his mouth to speak, but Rori’s whimpered cries cut him off, “it hurts” she cried and as Mason picked her up from the ground, the smell of sizzling flesh caught Max and Arthur’s immediate attention. “She has Lycan silver on her ankle, and it's burning her fucking skin off… Kristi, did you bring her here?” Arthur finally shouted and Mina shoved her hysterical mate aside as she grabbed her daughter, “Kri

Rori’s next morning in the mountain was pleasant as she and Destiny lazily stretched themselves awake before bathing and dressing. Rori looked at the simple outfit Destiny had picked for her and as she drifted off inside her mind the excited young troll began calling her, “Rori… did you hear me,” she asked, and she shook her wild chocolate curls, “I’m sorry Destiny, I was thinking about my--'' Rori choked on the rest of her sentence and Destiny quickly pulled her into a suffocating hug as Rori’s eyes glazed over with tears, “I will get Calder to take me to your house, so we can pick up your stuff if you want,” Rori snapped her head up to look at Destiny while she shook her head and large tears fell from her eyes, “No Destiny, you are in enough trouble as it is just,” Rori paused and exhaled in defeat “I will ask Kristi to grab some of my things, the girl you met last night? We go to school together, and she stays in the room-'' Rori let herself trail
Rori began marching down the dimly lit corridor with her small gold plates in hand while mumbling furiously to herself. Andy floated close behind, wanting to pacify the angry young woman but the small spectrul kept to himself as Rori came to an abrupt halt. She looked around before turning to Andy, “which way?” she asked in a short tone, and Andy simply pointed before floating up in front of her to lead the way. Rori was starting to wonder if Andy was walking her in circles until the young boy stopped and pointed at a closed door. “Tis the young miss room,” he said, and then hung his head. Rori wanted to ask him what was bothering him, but before she could open her mouth Andy spoke, “da masta calls, I be here if ya need jus call and Andy hears.” The moment the words left Andy’s mouth, the child began to fade from sight, so Rori turned with the small plates still held perfectly flat in each hand and realized she
Rori tried to ignore the muffled commotion she could hear echoing through the mountain and chewed her lip as she waited for Andy and Calder to return with her hot chocolate, she offered to accompany them to the kitchen, but Calder insisted on trying to make the liquid confectionary himself and Andy had gone with to make sure the older spectrul didn't mess anything up. Watching the two spectruls fuss over her and each other brought a slight smile to Rori’s face before she heard a roaring commotion once more, but this time it sounded so close her heart skipped a beat, and she ducked under the dinner table as the harmony of electricity ripped through the air. Destiny’s small but vibrant frame appeared in the doorway to the dining hall and as she entered, the sound of minor scuffles under the table brought her attention to the slight woman with a head full of wild hair coiled up in fright. Dest
Arthur followed Murdok as closely as he could and arrived at the threshold of chaos moments after his friend, Arthur’s jaw dropped at the sight in front of him. His daughter was holding her twin captive in some kind of a purple tornado of light and water. Andy stood in front of Rori and Destiny as the two girls clutched one another in fear. Max ran to Arthur, “Alpha, I can't make her stop I don't know what to do please… help me” the grown man cried and Arthur shook his head, “I have never seen her do this before, what happened?” he asked and when Max glanced toward Rori Arthur pinched his nose and started strolling slowly into the room. Max tried to go after him, but Murdok set his heavy hand on the distressed werewolf’s shoulder and shook his head, “he will make sure they are safe… he is their father.” Max licked his lips and nodded as Arthur approached the unfolding storm.
As Mina screamed in agony and Kristi fled the room with Max and Mason, Rori watched as Arthur and Murdok made a series of hand gestures at one another before Calder appeared in front of Rori and began ushering her away from the dinner table of unfolding chaos. “Come, my lady, we will check on dessert, come now,” he coaxed, and although she never took her eyes off the trio at the table she followed Calder out into the kitchen. Murdok waited for Calder to escort Rori from the room before he approached the still shuddering and whimpering Mina, “I will heal you witch… but then you will listen and not speak, understood,” the angry dragon barked and Mina merely nodded, offering out her arm. Murdok rolled his eyes as he extended one long thumbnail and pushed it into the center of his wrist until a single bead of blood formed. Mina wasted littl
As Kristi and Max pulled Mason out of into the hall a young spectrul boy appeared, “greetings, 'tis Andy here to serve,” he said in haste and Kristi gave him a short smile “greetings Andy… can you get us some water, and sea salt if you have it?” she asked hopefully when the youthful looking spectrul put his index finger up to his nose and winked, “what if Andy had limestone miss?” The moment the words left the small spectruls lips, Kristi’s eyes lit up. “Limestone would be spectacular Andy, thank you,” she added, and the young boy bowed before disappearing. Kristi and Max pulled Mason upright as Andy misted back into focus. “Come, come,” the spectrul beckoned as he led the trio into a small sitting room. Kristi and Max gently dropped Mason onto a small loveseat and collapsed across from him in armchairs. Max let his head droop between his knees and began rubbi

Rori watched the familiar yellow light and, on instinct, she forced her hands out in front of herself as she felt a sudden rush of heat from above her. Rori looked up in time to see more than ten small flits in a cluster descend upon the table, as the large firefly looking creatures hovered over the surface of the table Arthur, Kristi, and Mason all pushed themselves as far away from their seats as possible, “don't worry I will take care of these pests,” Mina announced and as Rori watched a yellow glowing ball of energy, appear she heard the sound of Andy’s voice behind her, “she aim’n ta git the flits the way she aim’n to break the chain,” he said with desperation behind his small voice and Rori pointed her finger at Mina, but before she could say anything Murdok calmly wiped his mouth with the back of his enormous hand and stood, “ You will leave the beings in this mountain alone witch, they mean
