She was still shaky when she got back to the dorms and she was glad that Sherry was out. There was no way she wanted to explain what was wrong to anyone just yet. First she needed a shower; her hair was tangled, her clothes were muddy and she was sure there was blood around her mouth and all over the side of her head.

She grabbed clean clothes and stormed into the shower, locking the door and turning up the heat of the spray of water so it was almost scalding hot. She took a look at herself in the mirror and flinched at her reflection. Hell, she looked like she’d been in a car crash or something. The scarlet blood caked the right side of her face, and lighter blood surrounded her mouth like the paint of a clown face. She wiped that away quickly, shivering at the image of a clown that came to mind – it was a big phobia of hers after all. Her hair was windblown and messy and she ran her fingers through it to loosen the knots. When that didn’t work she gave up and sighed, peeling back her lip to expose her upper teeth. They were stained red, like she’d been eating strawberries.

“You are not Owen’s Soulmate. You are not Owen’s Soulmate,” she murmured to her reflection, half-expecting it to talk back, half-hoping that if she said it enough it would be true. But the girl in the mirror just looked solemnly back at her with tired blue eyes and a frown.

Ember sighed again and stripped off, tossing her dirty clothes into the wash-basket in the corner of the bathroom. Maybe the steam would clear her head and let her think. Or maybe it’d just clean the leaves from her hair. Either way, it was a start.
