The fires never stopped burning in my mind. I don’t know how long I was out, but when I woke up, the distinct smell of smoking, charred pine filled my nose.

“Fires?” I asked, semi-coherent as my brain pulled itself out of the swamp of unconsciousness. “Are there fires?”

I knew it was Grave talking to me, holding me, as I arose, but I couldn’t hear anything but Todd. Every word out of my mate’s mouth seemed infused with the voice of my old boyfriend, the guy I’d learned had somehow romanced me—if you can call it that—for years, only to lure me into the woods for some reason I can’t understand. Hell, I don’t understand how all the pieces fit. Or at least, I didn’t, not then.

“No!” I cried out, shaking as I reached for Grave’s hair. I got a fistful and pulled him to me. “No, no, no more fires,” I whispered. I didn’t know exactly what was going on, but I felt that something deep in my soul was different; something deep down hurt so bad I could hardly keep back the tears. And if you know me, you know I’m not much of a crier.

“The fires are out,” Grave intoned.

I can’t explain exactly what was going through my head. I was still furious that he’d lied for so long, that he disappeared, and I was terrified as to what happened to Craze and Wild. Just having someone near me that I knew, whether or not I could trust him, was reassuring if nothing else. I opened my eyes, blinking as I expected sunlight to flood my vision, but the darkness was deep if not complete. “Where are we?”

Grave snorted a bitter laugh. “We’ve come a long way, that’s all I can say for sure. Here, eat this.”

Something warm and hard was pressed into my palm. It wasn’t until I touched what I recognized as a hunk of the hard tack that the bears always kept with them that my stomach started angrily grumbling. “How long have I been out?” I asked. “My stomach’s telling me it’s been a hell of a long time since I ate anything.”

I took a tentative bite, waiting for him to respond, when the swirling, nauseous, dizziness that I remembered from before when Craze and Wild vanished, began to churn in my guts. “What is this?” I asked. “Why do I feel like... before...” as I spoke, the reality of the situation sunk in deep and grabbed my guts in a tight fist. “You... you drugged me?”

It wasn’t an answer that came, but an arm around my shoulders. “Adriana,” he said, with a hint of something approaching regret in his voice. “Everything I said is the truth. Everything I told you about doing this for you and for everyone else, it’s true, but you have to trust me, you have to—“

“You drugged me!” I shouted, standing up on wobbling legs. The ground under my feet was as soft as my brain felt. My feet, bare and painful, squished into what felt like a mat of dead leaves and moss.
