Emily The Present. The most amazing news came the next morning. And lucky for Emily it meant she could go back to bed. She had gotten no sleep the night before… after tossing and turning for hours she decided to go on a run. But while she was out she came upon an unfamiliar wolf. Someone that wasn’t part of her pack. Unfortunately for her it turned out to be Janine. There shouldn’t have been any wolves that far into the forest. She made sure she went deep enough in that she wouldn’t run into any guards or scouts… or visitors. Not to mention it was the middle of the night. Of course, Lo was there with her. She hadn’t even been able to scent him because he had Janine’s smell all over him, mixing the two. And she knew what that meant. The thought of Lorenzo and Janine sleeping together made her stomach churn, even if she had no right to feel that way. After that debacle she still couldn’t sleep. Finally around 5 am she drifted off, only to be awoken a couple hours later. It was

Emily They were getting ready to leave when Emily remembered she’d brought some flowers for Alice. She had kept some from the ones she and Charlotte had planted around the cabin. “Oh Alice I almost forgot, here we brought you this flowering bush. You can plant it outside or leave it in this pot and keep it inside.” Emily said. “Oh…. Thank you child. But… what is it?” “It’s a rare purple hydrangea.” Emily told her. “It might lose its leaves when it turns really cold but it’ll survive.”“Well it’s beautiful! Thank you dearie! I’m sorry if I seem ungrateful I assure you I’m not. I just thought for a moment you were giving me Monkshood…”. Alice said with a laugh. Emily and Charlotte exchanged looks. “Um no Alice of course not….” Emily said. “Sorry dear, of course not. It does favor it somewhat and I just thought you might’ve gotten it out of Sophia’s garden.” Alice said. Emily stood there a moment, not speaking, a frown etched on her face. Again, she and Charlotte exchanged gl

Emily THE PAST A bee was stinging her. A gigantic bee fromthe feel of it. She tried to swat it away but someone grabbed her hands. She came to just as Elenora was finishing the first shot. She’d put it right in Emily’s stomach, and Maeve was holding her arms down. Another blast of pain hit her then. This time in her upper body. Her shoulders and neck felt like they were on fire. “Aarrggghhh!” She screamed. Oh goddess when would this ever end. She was writhing in the floor, nothing was giving her any kind of relief. She had to do this. She had to make it. She knew after the first shift that each subsequent one would be easier and quicker. She remembered from her brothers doing it. Like them, she didn’t stay and watch the first one. In fact her father wouldn’t let her anywhere near them… he’d been afraid it would scare her too much. But by the second time, it had been loads easier. They’d told her the second shift went about 2/3 faster and hurt 2/3 less than the first one. Th

Emily After they’d all had a good laugh at Alan they started making dinner. The boys were grilling steaks while the girls made the drinks and the sides. Emily’s mouth was watering as the smell of the grill wafted through her cabin. She built a fire in the fireplace and they all sat around the table to eat. Halfway through the meal Alan, who they were still making fun of, said he had gone over today to invite Lorenzo to come eat with them. Emily popped her head up at this. “He didn’t want to come?” She asked. “Don’t know… he wasn’t there.” Alan told her. “Oh…” she said. “He’s gone.” Alan continued. What? Gone? “What do you mean?” Emily asked him. “He left. He’s gone.” Emily dropped her fork and everyone stopped eating to look at her. He’s gone?? No. Surely not. He wouldn’t leave without saying goodbye to her, would he? In the middle of her trial? Was this because of what had happened last night… she wondered. Maybe she had upset him by what she said about Janine. Or ma

Emily The Present. Emily was very much dreading court that day for whatever reason. Maybe because she had gotten two days off to spend with her family… maybe because she had such a wonderful time those two days. The freedom she had held on to so tightly, in the event that she lost it all after this trial… was lingering. Or maybe it was because she knew Lorenzo wouldn’t be there. The last time in court they’d told Nicklaus to bring the scheduling forms. These told the names of the guards and scouts and what location they were assigned to and what time. She wondered if he would produce the paperwork like they’d asked for. She didn’t have to wait long as it was the first thing that Reymond, head of council brought up. Surprisingly Nick did indeed have the papers. He brought them to the front of the room and gave them to Reymond. “I assume you’ve already checked this? As your memory didn’t serve you as who was supposed to be at that post where you found your wife and sister?” Reym
