Wings.
Lisa opened the door and let Rachel in. She was shocked when she saw the wolf, Rachel had lost so much weight and had a look of death around the eyes. After helping Rachel up the stairs she lead her to the fire and made her a hot drink.
“Where is he? ” asked Rachel looking so sad that it made Lisa’s heat break. Motioning to the bed where Mathew lay sleeping, Fay sitting on a a chair next to him. Rachel moved swiftly to his side giving Fay a warning look as she approached the bed.
“How long has he been like this” she asked no one in particular , Fay told her it had been almost a week now since he had been all but killed by the warewolf. Rachel morphed in to her human form , scars clear for all to see. “Let me bath you” said Lisa Rachel just shook her head and climbed into bed with Mathew she wrapped her arms around him closed her eyes and passed into a deep sleep almost immediately.
Fay slid from the chair and left the tower , she descended the steps and waded through the waters under the arches and emerged from the gloom to a bright morning with blue skies dotted with white cloud. All was silent and still. Fay looked to the east and then the west and wondered what lay in store for all of them.
Up in the tower Lisa was feeding Hope softly humming as she watched Fay through the window. The baby stopped feeding and looked her mother straight in the eye. “Yes ” whispered Lisa, “I know, little one, strange and unsettled times ahead for all of us. ” Outside Fay felt a shudder run down her spine , almost at the same time the sky suddenly became black as hundreds of huge, black birds wheeled out of the trees and across the sky.
Mathew stirred and Rachel sat bolt upright in the bed……. “Hush” Lisa said to Rachel, ” rest while you can, the little one , here says we must prepare to fight soon. Bad times are coming and we five are the only ones who stand between the light and the dark.
