Chapter Five

He was woken by the sound of the door opening followed by someone who’d yelled his name.

His eyes opened to find Achim, Willa and Amberlyn all at the foot of his bed. Coming out of sleep, he couldn’t quite follow their ranting, but their faces all looked toward the bed beside him, which roused him enough to realize Winter was right there.

She too had ascended from slumber abruptly and clung to him as she shook. That was all he could take.

“Shut the hell up! You’re scaring her!” He pulled her into his arms and wrapped the blanket securely around her. Who knows what position they’d been in when his clan had first walked in. Of course they would just let themselves in, they wouldn’t expect him to be with anyone, and he should have already been awake by now. But his body seemed to be a little out of sorts with all the magic that had gone on around it these days.

Everyone stood, just stared at him, but he looked to Winter, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine. Startled, but fine. Will they…” she asked as her body shook itself into a violent tremor.

“No, absolutely not. They would have to kill me to hurt you. Understand?” he said to Winter. Then he turned back to his family. “Understand?” He stated forcefully, a command, not a question.

“You took her then?” It was Amberlyn who’d spoken, anger laced her otherwise controlled tone.

“I meant to just take a witch, find out their intentions, then return her. I hadn’t counted on having a history with the witch I took. I recognized her magic somehow, or my body did. She was there the night Drake turned me. She tried to save me from whatever spell the other witches had tried to make sure I just died. We got to talking…” he shrugged.

“Looks like you got to a lot more than talking you hypocrite!” Amberlyn bellowed.

“I never said a word to you about your choice of partners if you remember correctly, so don’t put that on me. I may not have understood coming back, but I didn’t blame you. I understand now though.”

“Isaac, I don’t understand! We are at war with her people!” Achim’s voice shook, obviously trying to feign some sort of decorum. He wondered how the man had reacted to Amberlyn’s news before the war between the clans had started.

“Yes, and I’m sleeping with the enemy. Been through this with myself thanks. Thing is, this isn’t our war. We didn’t start it. We didn’t ask for it. Amberlyn and Kane didn’t even ask for it. I know we have a responsibility to the clan to protect them now that it’s started, but…but…”

“But what, Isaac?” Achim spat. “If you antagonize the other side, you are not helping the cause, are you?”

“What if I don’t agree with the war? Does one just sit down and accept the status quo?”

“I don’t have an answer to that, but I do know that I don’t want to lose another son, another loved one.
