"Hello again Morden, I did not expect to see you again so soon." I say with false friendliness."Aw why not? I was so looking forward to this meeting. It is about time that something goes my way for once when it comes to you." She sneers back. "Oh yeah, and what might that be?" I ask her."Just what you have been refusing to do the entire time that you have been living with this pack. You are going to come with me and stay with my Coven for a few days. It is time that you learn who, exactly, I am." She says victoriously."And just how do you expect to get me to agree to something like this?" I ask her."Do you want me to have one of my sisters go and grab your pregnant little friend in there? You might be able to take some of us out but I highly doubt that you can do that while protecting her. If you want to keep her safe, then you will come with us right now." She tells me matter-of-factly.If she is right then I really do not have much of a choice. I know that I can do everything i
They keep my sense dulled to where I cannot see where they are taking me until we finally pull to a stop. It feels like we have been driving for hours but with nothing to keep my mind occupied it might not have been anywhere near that long. Heck, they might have driven in circles for quite a while before we got here just to throw me off.When they finally pull to a stop, hands grab my and guide me out of the vehicle. I expected them to be rough but they are surprisingly gentle as they lead me on. I can smell pine trees and the air seems to be a bit thinner so I would expect that I am on a mountain of some sort. Maybe the ones that were by my old house but I am not sure without more information to go on.We come to a stop for a while and I can sense what seems to be some sort of arguement going on next to me. I cannot hear or see it but I can feel what seems to be a disagreement lingering in the air before I am escorted forward once more. I keep expecting to walk into a building and f
I start awake at the feeling of somebody approaching me. They got closer than I thought they would before I notice them. Still feigning sleep, I reach out with my senses and try to glean some information on who they actually are. Judging by the confident walk and the better than everyone attitude that I am getting from this person, it has to be Morden coming to visit me finally. She stops next to the cage, studying it closely. Tutting, she says, "You know that I can sense that you are awake right? You might as well give up the act now and get up."Guess I should have expected that. Still, I was hoping that I could learn something from her before she found out that I was already awake. I am going to do everything that I can to come out on top of each encounter that I have with her.Sitting up, I turn and look at her. The sun is just rising behind her which makes it a little harder to see her face. I am sure that she planned it that way but I will not even give her the satisfaction of
After a few hours of lounging in my new abode, the hunger pains finally begin creeping in. They brought me here in the afternoon yesterday and I have not eaten yet. Of course, I have ways of getting food without relying on them but I was sincerely hoping that somebody would have enough heart to bring me a meal.Walking up my stairs, I sigh as I reach the sunlight. It is a truly beautiful day outside right now which makes the boredom lesson slightly. I startle a little when I notice that I am not alone. Apparently, the earth did not wish to give me the warning that it so helpfully gave me earlier."Hello Laina." The woman says softly, stepping out of the shadows of a nearby tree.I incline my head to her the slightest amount and say, "Rosa."I watch her as she shifts uncomfortably in front of me. She does not seem like she was injured in any way or even forced here. Morden made it seem a while ago like she learned about Rosa but judging by what I see in front of me, it does not seem li
It has been almost a week since I arrived here. The first day both Morden and later Rosa visited me. Since then, I have had no visitors at all unless you can count a few birds. I have not been this lonely since I found the pack and my mate. The feeling is soul wrenching but I still manage to find ways to make it just a little easier. I set a routine that I follow everyday. I wake up as the sun comes up and begin doing what I remember from the brief period of yoga that I did. After the yoga, I go upstairs and gather some more food for breakfast. Each day the food varies in variety a small amount but each day I end up full. This is the only time of day that I gather food as I am always gifted with enough to last the entire day.After I eat, I begin to go over some of my magic lessons as my food settles. I only do this for about an hour before going back to my physical training. The first part of my training is solely cardio and weight training. I do not work with the practice dummy unt
The day after I finally get a message out via bird, Morden finally comes back for another visit. Honestly, I expected to see her here gloating long before now. She looks around at what I have done and sneers up at me."I see you made yourself at home here. Or, you made yourself a home." She says sounding rather upset."Why? I thought that you told me to get comfortable because I would be here for a while? I just followed your advice." I say innocently."Humph, not exactly what I meant. I guess I can see why everybody is so bent on protecting you though. This is impressive work. I do not really see much reason to keep you out here if you are just going to give yourself this nice of accomodations. Then again, I really do not want you in the house with us either so I think that you can stay here for just a little longer still." She says.I shrug my shoulders like the idea does not bother me much. I can see her eyes unfocus a bit and a slight grin pull at the edges of her mouth. She most
As I unfurl the short message that I received back, I can feel my eyes start to fill with tears. I did not realize just how much I was counting on their reply until it was in front of me. There are only two sentences on the paper. They read:I know where you are, we are preparing. Should arrive in a week, be ready.One week. Just one week and I might be getting out of here. I will have to start getting stuff ready for a battle when it comes time to leave. I might not have anything to pack but I could always make some weapons and hide them down below for when it is time for us to fight our way out of here.Heading back down with a purpose, I am slightly dismayed to see that Morden took the opportunity to partially collapse my mock bedroom while she was here. I made one closer to the stairs so that she would not think to look further down. She fell for it which makes me smile even more as I clear it up before heading down to my real living room.I call forth some stronger sticks that I
After Rosa leaves, nobody else stops to visit for a few days. In fact, I am beginning to wonder if anybody is going to come and see me before Elle gets here. That is too easy of course, and Morden comes to see me before long."I see that you are getting further with your little hovel of a house. Planning to stay for a while I take it?" She asks me snidely."Just figured that as long as I am here I might as well be comfortable. You seem to be rather content to just leave me in here. If I am going to be here I will relax while I can. I am sure you agree that running a group of people can be rather exhausting. At least, I do not expect that running a coven is any easier than running a pack of wolves. Maybe not quite as rambunctious but still not easy." I say conversationally."If you keep talking to me this way I will begin to think that you are getting lonely. Do I need to send someone here to talk to you each day?" She says with mock sincerity."Nah, that's alright. You do not seem to
