Chapter 22

Avalynn POV

As I sat up on the bed I moved a hand over my eyes. I yawned and stretched my tired, stiff muscles.

Breakfast was already set up and still had steam rolling off of it. I slid out of my bed and walked over to

it. I sniffed it cautiously trying to see if anything smelled out of the ordinary.

No matter how nice Dexter was being to me, I still did not trust him. I looked at the eggs that had a

weird herbal mix in them and pushed them to the side. There was, however an unopened box of cereal

and I munched on that instead. I took bits and pieces of the food that I didn’t eat and made it seem like

did eat it. I scrapped small bits of each into the toilet and flushed it down the drain. I washed my hands

three times over and left the bathroom. I don’t know what he’s given me but I wanted Charlotte back.

I decided if I didn’t make it I wouldn’t eat it. I decided to slip out of my room and go to the beach for a

walk. Surprisingly enough no one had followed me out, though I could still feel eyes on me. It was a

warm breezy day and as I stood at the waters edge I watched the waves crash over my bare feet.

It was almost therapeutic in a way. I promised myself that as long as I was here that I would visit the

beach almost every day. It would be my safe haven. A place to find myself and figure a way out of this.

place. I wrote my name in the sand before a wave came and made it disappear.

After an hour I heard someone approach me from behind. I pretended to not hear them and let them

stand there, waiting for my to acknowledge them. When I didn’t he cleared his throat, causing me to

roll

my eyes.

“What can I do for you?” I asked, never turning to face him.

“I was just coming to check on you and make sure everything was alright.” Dexter was now standing

beside me as I sat on the beach.

I never made eye contact with him “I am fine.” I felt a weird tingle sensation, like someone was trying to

reach me. I pushed it down and back, now wasn’t the time when Dexter was standing next to me.

“I am glad you are fine. We will be leaving the beach house in a week, maybe sooner. I promise we can

come back, if you want? It looks like you enjoy the view here.” He was kneeling now and I looked at

him and nodded.

“I would love to revisit the beach again, someday.” I really would love to bury your face into the sand

right about now and rip you from limb to limb.

I heard a brief voice float through my head “Seems like she’s doing this the easy way. Thanks to those

special herbs by that witch. I’ll have to keep incorporating them into her diet until I mark her as mine.”

I sat there and didn’t respond and pretended as if nothing was wrong. Honestly, inside I was screaming

and wanted to run. I decided I would run, tonight. After everyone was asleep I would go. I knew those

eggs looked weird!

Someone else came up to us and passed Dexter a note.

“Damn it, I knew I should have ended him.” He gripped the paper in his fist and looked at me. “We

leave tonight. We will be joined by others.” He stood and looked down to me “Be ready in two hours.”

“W-what?” I asked, halfway confused and angry because my plans were now ruined.

“That scum that hit you has betrayed me and is putting your life in danger!” He shouted and I flinched

back.

“Oh.” Is all I could manage and felt hope nearly consume me.

I watched as he stomped off angrily back to the house and I looked out to the ocean and smiled. He

just got done telling me in a week we would be moving but instead we are now leaving in just a few

hours. Which means Everest got word on where we are!

I stood up and made my way back to the house and knew I needed to stall as much as I possibly could.

I got a cloth and ran it under hot water and placed it on my face. I figured it would give the feeling that I

was burning up. I left the room when my cheeks looked flushed and searched for him. I didn’t know if

this was going to work but when I reached him I stood and looked at him.

“Are you ready?” He asked and looked up at me and he frowned at my appearance.

“U…” and I made myself drop to the floor. I ended up hitting my head in the process and it was an

instant headache.

I heard him rush over to me and repeat my name as he lifted my torso into his lap. “Avalynn? Ava…

Wake up baby girl! Avalynn! Someone get medical! Now!” He sounded panicked as he rocked me to

his

body.

It was repulsive and it made me want to throw up.

He began talking to me again, “Ah. You’re bleeding too. You must have hit your head also when you

fainted.” I could smell it now, my blood. Which means I shouldn’t travel for a few more days and be

monitored for a concussion.

I heard someone burst into the room and they spoke to one another. “She came in here, I assume to

tell me she was ready. She looked flushed and she couldn’t even get her sentence out before she

collapsed. On the way down she hit her head on the curve of the leg on the table. Now she’s bleeding.”

He explained.

“Lets get her to a couch or bed. I need to check her.” the voice was deep.

I felt myself being lifted in Dexter’s arms and moved to a bed. My hair was being moved as a towel

tapped the spot that was bleeding.

“I know you said we must leave today but she can not travel at all. She needs at the least two days

maybe three before she can travel.” He told Dexter.

“Are you kidding me?” He asked sarcastically.

“No, I am afraid that the blow to the head requires rest to heal and not that stress of traveling.” He said

in a serious tone. “Since you have her lycan suppressed she will not heal as quickly.”

She being three was a bit more messy than myself. I packed up her favorite snacks and walked into

her play room. Her playroom was a small extra bedroom and it was perfect for her destruction of toys.

“Cassie, sweetie?” She turned to me and her bright green eyes landed on me and she smiled.

“Cassie we are going to go bye bye for a few, pick two toys to take.” I told her and watched her decide

very carefully on who to take. She picked up her stuffed rabbit she carried around and a teddy bear and

walked to me. “Okay sweet girl, let’s go.”

We left my small home and I knew what I had to do. I must go to the new King of the Northern Territory

and confess. Plead for mercy and hope that they understand that of I didn’t do as Dexter said, Cassie

would be dead. My eyes teared up at that thought.

I placed some herbs in a necklace and hung it on my rear view mirror. It hid my scent and Cassies. I

buckled her into her seat, gave her a snack and her juice and we were off.

I drove the opposite direction before turning around to make sure that no one was following me. Once

all was clear I headed North. It would take a day or so to reach the territory boarder. We would stop at

the small human town that seemed to split North and South. We would stay in a hotel room, have

breakfast, then be on our way again.

I looked in my rear view and Cassie was munching on her snacks. She was bobbing her little head to

the music playing and it brought a smile to my face. I would make sure that she would survive this,

even if I did not survive until next week. The crimes I committed were punishable by death. I prayed to

the Gods and Goddesses that a small light of mercy be shown.

When we arrived to the small town I pulled up to a hotel room, shocked at what I saw. A large mixture

of fancy, detailed black SUVs were outside. I satbin my car and watched and when I saw King Brent

shaking hands with King Everest I thanked the heavens above that they were both here.

Thurriedly got Cassie out of her seat and threw her on my hip. Bless her she couldn’t walk fast enough

as I was rushing to catch them both before they went wherever they were heading.

“Wait!” I shouted “Please, wait! King Brent, King Everest!”I watched as they stopped and heaved a.

breath of fresh air, almost panting.

“Who are you?” King Brent asked.

“I am Miranda, a witch from the South. I have to talk to you both. Please, somewhere private. Your

brother…” Just then a hand went up and motioned for us to follow. I followed and held Cassie close to

my body as I followed the two large men into a room, the door closing behind me.
