Chapter 56 MIRO

Way worse?

Could Ryn be talking about the special diet I have with my father? That was literally the only strange thing I've been eating lately. Theon's warning about my 'nasty diet' suddenly echoed at the back of my mind.

"Care to elaborate?" I asked, tightening my jaw.

Ryn shifted her body to face me, sliding her hair behind her ears. Then I saw the sun hit her face in a way that made her eyes glitter like diamonds and that's when I realized I wouldn't mind looking at them all day. I caught myself staring and looked away, clearing my throat. "I'm listening." I said, starting the car and easing back on the highway.

"Okay so, based on experience, golden flecks and abnormal temperature indicate that something foreign is in the body and whatever is foreign to your system is generally known as poison.

I glanced a at her. "You think I have been poisoned?"

"It seems so." She said carefully, "but you have to see your doctor first to be really sure. The earlier you get a checkup, the faster we can battle that poison."

I saw the sadness on her face and my wolf stirred, letting me know I was being an arse. I agreed but I couldn't bring myself to apologize so we rode in silence for a while. During this moment, I thought about her words.

"You said something earlier." I began, getting Ryn's attention. "You said, 'based on experience! What did you mean by that?"

Ryn shrugged. "It's just something I have seen happen to others o close. They had similar symptoms to you and were agresssive."

I glanced at her at the last word and once again, my brother's observation about my behaviour came to mind. "These people you're talking about, were they eating a new diet?"

"Not necessarily a diet." Ryn mumbled, her head hung low as she twiddled with her fingers.

"What are you not telling me, Ryn?"

The little firecracker glanced at me and then sighed. "If I tell you this, you have to promise you won't make a big deal out of
