56. Mate?

Lilian’s POV

“What the hell happened?” Osric snarls in a venomous tone, ready to hurt whoever is responsible for what has happened.

“We were walking, Michelle threw Raven down when she heard an arrow shot in our direction, we heard Raven cry out when she was hit with a dart. Kitty and Michelle chased after whoever shot the dart and the bow… I could smell wolfs bane and something else in the dart,” I cry, staring at my sister limp in Osric’s giant arms.

“I can’t take care of myself,” I growl at my
