Chapter 16. Hystericia

“Chesca! We need to help her,” I whispered loudly, ready to run to our friend.

“Wait,” Darren hissed. He clamped his calloused hand around my arm, squeezing harder than I liked.

“What?”

“This could be a trap. She might just be playing a part.”

I yanked my wrist from his grip. “What are you talking about? She’s hurt.”

“She could be pretending to be, to lure us closer.”

“Don’t be ridiculous. She clearly has nothing to do with this. It’s not the Coyotes, you said it yourself!”

“Coyotes have a reputation of being mercenaries. They’re always working for someone.” He scanned the room, not moving an inch to free the chained up girl.

“Well, while you’re taking your time, I’m helping Chesca.” I pushed past him, the puddles splashing as I crossed the room towards the young woman. Darren’s footsteps echoed as he ran behind me and slammed me into the cold wall. The bricks scraped my face, my bones bruising from the assault but it was no worse than I endured from Father.

“Shhh, be quiet,” he hissed in my ear, forcing my head towards the entrance. Two hooded figures emerged from the orange shadows, their coats bearing the insignia of what I assumed was their house.

“Master is finally getting what he wants,” one of them spoke, his voice shrill and boyish. If we weren’t in such a predicament, I’d have trouble not laughing.

“It was worth chasing those stupid wolves. We were lucky to snatch the priceless jewel from them,” the other man replied.

“Can’t believe they let that silly girl wear the Great Wolf’s amulet.”

“I know, it was so easy to steal it from her.”

My heartbeat thundered in my throat as I pressed myself as hard into the wall as I could. Just a simple movement would betray us and I didn’t want to end up like Chesca.

“What an idiot.” That was the man with the high voice again.

“If that stupid Puma hadn’t trailed us, we could’ve left the city by nightfall.”

“Yes, but the Master wants to dispose of her properly.”

“Is he going to use her blood?” He sounded so eager, it turned my stomach in disgust. Who were these men and what did they want?

“I hope so.”

“At least he’s not using the blood of that silly wolf girl.”

“I doubt there’s any power to her. She was so easy to fool.”

Anger welled up as the men mocked me right in front of me. There words were awful, but the worst part was that I couldn’t disagree. They were right, I was stupid. For not taking care of the amulet, for not even noticing it got stolen, for believing I could be trusted with something so valuable. Even without the amulet in my presence, the ashes of rage flickered into flames as the desire to hurt and kill filled my chest. I wouldn’t be useless, not for much longer.

The shadows hid us well and with the noise of their steel swords clicking against their metal greaves, they passed us without a hitch. The blackwood bookcase sprung open with the touch of a book and the two men disappeared into a hidden tunnel.
