Every now and then she made a small mewling sound, as if suffering from a nightmare. Of course, she probably was. He cursed himself, for what seemed like the hundredth time, for not having been there to protect her, for not going with her on her fool's quest. It would never have been possible but still, he couldn't help but wish it had. Though he had to begrudgingly admit, Rem had done all he'd been able to shield her from harm, and Roger most likely would not have been able to do more, had he been there instead. He sighed and shifted

Neither could she remember when she'd last felt so sick. The process itself had been painful to be sure, an acidic, searing sensation across her nerves and veins as a portion of the poison was drawn out of Rem and into her own system. She'd born it bravely enough, though she'd done her fair share of groaning and gasping. Then towards the end the effects had finally hit both her brain and stomach simultaneously, and she wondered with incredulity how Rem had been able to handle it as well as he had. Her beast had retreated into her psyche, reeling from the pain and having had quite enough, to curl up within the darkness and go straight to sleep in an effort

It was hard though, Pakhet was an absolute nuisance and very hard to ignore. But what she was moaning on about, even after he'd explained the situation to her, was undeniably reasonable. “I'm not trying to be insensitive or anything, I know this is probably an indescribably emotional time for her.” Pakhet shifted from foot to foot anxiously. “But...well we've already been here nearly two hours and it's bright enough outside now to be traveling. We...we really should get going.” Rem grit his teeth and told himself for what

Her body felt very heavy and parts of her were sore, especially her ankle where Braeden had grabbed her, but she was nestled into what felt like fuzzy blankets and she was quite comfortable. Perhaps just a few more minutes of sleep wouldn't hurt... The soft tapping came again, this time against her nose and accompanied by a tiny mewling sound, and she scrunched her face to ward off a sneeze while slowly opening her eyes. It was dark wherever she was, so much so that at first she couldn't make out much except for a few highlighted details of the rough walls of the room she was in. It looked like a cave of sorts, but one so

But not for herself. How strange. He means to force her hand, to use and humiliate her for his own pleasure, she thought incredulously, her hands balling into pale fists at her sides. Worse than that, he threatens us...even knowing who she is, still he threatens us! The arrogance! The girl would never do it though. Her exasperating sense of decency and morality would get them all killed. The boy was
