Chapter 6

The trek took another hour, but now that she had an actual guide to get her there it likely took far less time than it would have otherwise, especially since Helga was actually familiar with the territory. There was an uneasy alliance of sorts between them, there was no doubt that Helga knew that she was a wolf, but the fact that she wasn’t attacking at all and was willing to listen to her in the first place… maybe Orson was right, maybe she was one of the only smart ones.

“How much further?” Jennifer asked, perhaps a little snappier than she meant to, “I don’t know how much longer he can take all this moving.”

“We’re almost there, trust me, he’ll be as safe as anyone could be for now once we get him there and in a bed. After that… well, you both have some explaining to do, I’ve been wondering what’s been happening since yesterday.”

The cabin loomed in front of them once they stepped through the thick tree cover, much to Jennifer’s surprise since she hadn’t smelled it at all. Helga must have seen the look of surprise on her face, saying, “We put a lot of effort into covering up this cabin from everyone else, Orson’s the only one that’s ever seen it and even then I doubt that he could tell you exactly where it is. Since you seemed kind of lost when I found you he probably didn’t know for sure huh?”

“No, he didn’t. We were… just kind of winging it since we didn’t have a choice,” Jennifer sighed, “Probably would have died out there.”

“Well, no dying just yet,” Helga said, pushing the door open and welcoming them inside, “Walk down the stairs, there’s a table down there that we can look at him on. I’ll get everything together than I can.”

Jennifer nodded, walking down the old oak staircase and pushing the door open at the end of the hallway, a simple metal desk sitting in the middle of the room with a few books set on top. Sweeping her hand across the top, she knocked the books to the ground and place Orson as gently as she could on the surface, opening his shirt slowly without moving him too much. The skin was black and looked to be almost bloody, a thick cut having been opened up in his side that had stopped bleeding but looked severe enough to have caused some damage inside. Their healing factors were good but… were they good enough to outlast this?

“Ok, you got him set up,” Helga said, stepping through the door with a pair of rubber gloves and a medical bag, “Let’s see what the damage is…”

Placing her bag next to them and leaning over his body, Helga looked him over with an analytical eye, fingers poking and prodding at him to say if something seemed to be out of place, small hums of concern in the back of her throat as she leaned over and popped the bag open.
