CASSANDRA

When I awoke. I couldn’t move. I tried to stretch my limbs and make sense of where I was, but it was impossible. I felt as if I was tightly bound to a bed, strapped down with no hope of excipe. It was dark, so I couldn’t tell for sure, but I wondered if maybe I was in the bed that I had seen in Raven’s lab in the prison tower.

My breath was so thin that I felt as if I could die at any second. My body was burning, a horrible, aching feeling that I never wanted to experience again. It was almost like I had returned to the inferno in Rosepetal. Maybe I had never truly been saved at all, and everything that had happened to me past the point of the blaze was nothing more than a mere hallucination before death.

Suddenly, I felt my inner wolf groan. A painful groan, followed by anger.

“Why have you been so weak and cowardly?” she growled at me, her voice fierce like Cora’s. “Where has your warrior’s spirit gone?”

She then scolded and cursed me. “You aren’t this person. You aren’t a weakling. You’re a daughter of Felix, not some small. sniveling common wolf. So, why are you acting like this?”

I wanted to speak to reply back to her and tell her what had happened to me, but I couldn’t. I didn’t have the strength to do so. My body was completely numbed, though my mind was clear. If only I could call out to her with my thoughts and reassure her. tell her that deep down within me, I was the same warrior I’d always sworn to be. I’d tell her that even though I’d merely served as a healer since the blaze had taken my life from me, that hadn’t meant that I wasn’t a fighter.

But then again was I still a fighter?

Had 1 cast aside my warrior instinct in favor of surviving?

Suddenly, my wolf appeared before me. Her thick, plush fur was snow white, her body was muscular and strong. Her eyes were the same green as mine. My wolf form was just as beautiful as it had always been

I admired her for a moment and felt a longing in my soul. Seeing her again was like coming home.

My wolf stopped cursing and shouting and simply glared at me with her glowing eyes.

there was a screech I didn’t know what happened, but the space was filled with horrified gasps and angry mumbles Suddenly, I felt someone lift my body, holding me away from the bed, but the moment I rose from the mattress, my min went blank again, and I slipped back

I finally woke up. I wasn’t in the lab, but I wasn’t in my own chambers either. I was in a large room with a high ceilir that had an elaborate mural of the Moon Goddess upon it. I stared at it for a moment

Despite his cool demeanor, he seemed fairly calm, if not bored. His expression didn’t seem like one of anger or betrayal.. so had he not suspected anything after
