The growing warmth from the glass made Rori stir in her sleep and as her eyes fluttered open the warm brown orbs of her mother's eyes appeared in front of her, and as Rori tried to wipe the fuzz from her sight, she noticed it would not disperse. Rori tried rubbing her eyes harder and finally heard the foggy sound of her mothers voice, “don't rub your eyes Rori dear, you know how much Henry doesn’t like it.” Rori nodded her head as Alma reached down and yanked her to her feet, suddenly Rori realized she was still in Murdok’s mountain and as she gained her balance Rori grabbed her mother by the arm. “Mom! We have to get out of here… this place isn’t safe for you to be in.” Rori started to panic, but Alma grabbed her daughter on either side of her face, “silly girl, what do you mean… Henry already spoke with your lovely young man, and they agreed you would live here now, isn’t that fabulous, darling.'' Rori pulled herself from her mother's grasp as she s

Through her confusion and tears Rori ran until her feet felt swollen and her lungs ached with every breath, as she slowed to a steady walk she tried to look around but whatever part of the mountain she was in had become dark and smelled musty, as if it had been a while since any life had graced the area. Rori shivered more from the solitude than any chill in the air, but as she wrapped her arms around herself and sank to the floor, she heard the slight sound of Andy’s voice, “dinna run miss, please… let Andy sit wit yee at least and kill the loneliness.” Rori sniffled and looked around “Andy?” she asked in a small hushed tone, “where are you, I can’t find you,” as her voice became almost frantic a gust of wind blew through the corridor, and suddenly, it lit with the soft glow of small fires lining the walls. Rori gasped as she watched the delicate flames snake around the sid

Rori wasn't sure whose arm she was holding or whose heartbeat was pounding in her ear, but she knew she felt home and safe sandwiched between her friends. The sound of shouting voices pulled the huddled trio out of their cocoon of shock and joy as Arthur, Mina, and Max came running into the room. Mina gasped as Mason and his sister stepped to the side, revealing Rori’s still sniffling frame. Arthur stepped forward and opened his mouth to speak, but Rori’s whimpered cries cut him off, “it hurts” she cried and as Mason picked her up from the ground, the smell of sizzling flesh caught Max and Arthur’s immediate attention.  “She has Lycan silver on her ankle, and it's burning her fucking skin off… Kristi, did you bring her here?” Arthur finally shouted and Mina shoved her hysterical mate aside as she grabbed her daughter, “Kri

Arthur stood frozen, watching in horror and awe as Murdoks enormous frame cradled the slight trembling body of the girl he had grown to love as his own while Mina pushed two large tables together and Kristi covered the top with an oversized cloth before motioning toward Murdok to bring Rori over. The large Stoic man looked apprehensive but laid the small figure he held on top of the table anyway, careful not to brush against her leg. Murdok stood over her, watching as the pained expressions and haggard breathing suddenly returned, Rori began her painful whimpers once more while Mina shoved Murdok to the side, so she could draw closer to the marred flesh, “ Let me heal her, your cuff is obviously tainted with bad Luceat, I am strong enough to override the primitive magics here, but I have to touch her to draw the burn out, and you must not interfere.'' Murdok began to growl and move forward, but Rori whimp

Destiny zipped into the kitchen to place the books she found for Rori in a neat line for her to inspect, and then began to skip down the hall searching for her new housemate. Calder knew when he got the string of frantic messages that Murdok was not happy, but he had no idea just how livid his master was until he floated into focus. Murdok caught sight of Calder and thundered at the top of his lungs, “where is she!” he bellowed and Calder cocked his head, “master, I only took the young miss out to collect some things for our lady Rori, she was--” The spectrul was not allowed to finish his explanation as Murdok roared again, this time shaking the walls of their domicile, “you left Rori ALONE, and she fell through a looking glass.” Calder’s shock and disbelief turned the entire room to ice as he shook his head and lowered himself to the floor, “my apologies master, I will acc
