Macy/
We rushed to the commotion we heard hoping the ones responsible didn't encounter Tj or Rachel. The moment we entered the back room Rachel was fighting another injured hunter, surprisingly holding his own. The words of Maxine echoed in my head as my body moved between them blocking them both from continuing. It was clear he was only being defensive but Rachel was trying to kill him.
" Enough Rachel, Calm down."
" The hell are you doing, Macy. He's clearly a hunter, our enemy."
" Nothings ever that simple, you should know that. Kai and I Just saw other hunters, Killed by another faction of hunters."
My words were enough to settle her down but she was still heated. I turned to face the wounded but frightened man before me. He was still guarded which was expected.
" My name is Macy, can you tell me what happened while I dress that wound. It needs attention."
He was weighing my words but trust wasn't easily g

Macy/After she calmed down enough we moved to the little living room area to talk. Her name was Carol and she knew Terry for many years. From what I was told, Alexis wasn't always this bad she used to walk and express herself. But as she got older she slowly got bedridden and her mother tried to find a cure. No one would come out this far and some listened to the symptoms to offer her a small hope. Medical equipment she couldn't afford because this village wasn't making money, it was self-sufficient. Because of this many left for the cities but Terry never had that option with a sick child.When Alexis turned thirteen she became unresponsive but alive. It was described like she entered a dream state but never woke up or responded. That's when Terry got desperate for help she spent her mornings and half the evening with Alexis. But Carol took over while Terry went out to walk miles without rest to any city or town she could. The desperation was expected of a mother who

Macy/Kai came here for a reason but he clearly has forgotten what that was. I had no intention of influencing him on this choice so the towel was held in front of myself. Seth had given us the east abandoned wing which would give us the privacy needed. But Kai was more fascinated by looking and tracing invisible lines across my body. Moving softly across the room till I was standing right in front of him waiting to see what he would do. It's clear he is hungry and with a practiced hand, he moved deftly across my skin. He was good with his hands but the longer he spent admiring my skin and tracing lines the more I noticed the shaking.His hands may be practiced but he was in unknown water beyond this point. Like a barrier for him, he avoided touching anything hidden by the towel. While I didn't want to influence him I didn't wish to stop him either so I let the towel fall freely. His hands stopped instantly which only made his nervous shaking more noticeable to see. It

Macy/Everyone was tense and awkward traveling together, perhaps not my best suggestion. The hunters that we traveled with seemed open and friendly but it was a little strained. Like they didn't know what to expect to happen next."Well as you know I am Macy and This is Kai. We are gonna be traveling together for a little bit so we can at least get to know one another.""Yeah, that makes sense, can't blame us for being a little skittish. But Seth made the call so can't be all bad... I'm Jen and this is Mac. He tends to be more of a slow to warm-up type.""Kai is the same way since he still hasn't warmed up to me."The jab pulled the funniest reaction from Kai which had everyone laughing lightly. I call it well-deserved payback for last night anyway."I warm up just fine to people. I just don't like talking too much around strangers.""Yeah which I'm still a stranger apparently, and when you do speak it's all robotic. Or maybe more acc

Macy/Everything played out like a fantasy story, it was the way steam clung to her skin hiding away what I wanted to see most. The water as her feet touched the floor was undisturbed almost like she hadn't entered the hot spring. Being locked up inside of a castle was surely enough to drive anyone's desires crazy. This would be my second encounter since coming out this far but perhaps this will produce results. With my eyes settled on her own, I watched as she moved ever closer to me. While the glasses did her justice before now it's like this setting enhances her eyes further. I waited once more patiently for her decision with much anticipation." I didn't expect to see you so calm and restrained... Obedient nearly."The way her words came out followed by a light chuckle felt teasing. I was far from obedient but I wasn't going to lavish one uncertain especially after Kai." Consider this a lesson... Patience just shows the power it takes to control one'

Macy/Since I had nothing else to do retiring seemed the best option till Seth finished up. Which left me with my thoughts and figuring out everything I pushed back. On one hand, I still needed to find Rachel and Tj to make sure they are okay. On the other was Alexis who I want to help but the cost seemed unknown at best. While it's clear I was expected to die and be reborn what wasn't clear was the how or what I lose and gain. They haven't reached out lately either which is concerning if nothing else. If I tried explaining this to someone would they call me crazy for wanting to sacrifice myself for a stranger.A lot of things had been pushed back which is starting to add up and become problematic. The one thing I no longer think about is running to Nathan. While he should know it's also true the problems are worldwide currently. All I can do is solve the issues here and hope that it's enough to fix everything. Stepping just beneath the rush of water seemed to silence

Macy/Laying in the bed I was slowly regaining movement of my body without much pain. Getting accustomed to pain seems to be a common occurrence at this point but still, I feel it vividly in most cases. While Im still worried about what happened im certain an answer won't come to me so easily. Believing he survived hardships is all I can do to prevent the madness from swallowing me. I never noticed how much his mark connected to me till it was gone and now I feel it weighing on me, nearly crushing my heart with its weight.When Jen arrived with a tray of food and a bottle of alcohol I'm certain she has plans for the day and night. When she settled everything down on a table a letter was passed my way which was from Kai. She started organizing the food for us while I decided to see what Kai had to say, strange when he could have just come to me."Everything okay, Macy?""Yeah, nothing important. I believe you were just about to feed the patient, yes?"

Macy/While it was unfair she kept most of her clothing on it was also true how she lacked that clothing. The skirt she wore wouldn't prevent me from finding her core quickly enough and tease her accordingly. Her shirt was already open which was easy enough to dispose of this woman came prepared. She seemed to love my eyes like this so I didn't want to steal her sight from her but she brought other things to help. She came with many things we could use for this night which I took into careful consideration. Some of the toys I had never seen but I was able to quickly understand how they worked after inspection. It was like a showing for her keeping her thoughts racing as I showed her every toy I may use. The anticipation must have been building quickly with how her body wiggled beneath me.It didn't take long to figure out what I wanted to use on her to start this off. Taking the bottle of wine that was sitting inside a bucket of ice of to the side, this torture was gon

Macy/While it's obvious how much Ferris isn't happy with us here he's doing well to make it more known. Whatever news he brings must be serious which makes me nervous. How did he justify killing his own people to Seth I wonder but is that even my concern. Breakfast went quickly which was expected since everyone was uncomfortable. Surprisingly Rachel and Tj are more restrained than I had thought but we still need to catch up. With breakfast done a group of us found ourselves sitting around a table in silence." Ferris has told me that, Duke, was seen moving. And that's not the worst of it, apparently from another report, Hell hounds. So as we can clearly see we need to put an end to these problems."Seth had a commanding way of speaking while remaining neutral. I'm certain he can't be happy with how Ferris has acted." While I appreciate that report, I have nothing reporting such creatures. How viable can this intel be?"Ferris couldn't help starin
