Rowan I retreated back to the doorframe, leaning against it and breathing heavy. "Rowan... Are you okay?" I heard Asher ask behind me. I turned just enough to send white hot pain through my ribs. I hissed and pressed my hand against my side.Mabel appeared and pulled my hand away, her gaze dropping to my side. I followed it.Red had begun seeping through the fresh bandage, not much but enough that her expression sharpened into something murderous. "Medical wing. Now." She snapped"Mabel-" I tried to respond."Don't you Mabel me. Move your ass.""I'm fine.""You are bleeding through my work. Now move it, before I move you."I looked past her, back into the study.Asher stood beside his desk, rigid as stone, while Savannah remained close to him. His mother's records lay spread before them, and the cedar box cast a faint glow across the paper."I need to be in there..." I thought to myself."No. You need to be close to them."
