Chapter 12

I took my poker and returned to my cabin. My bed awaited me with open sheets, and I gladly succumbed to my exhaustion. I dreamed of strange noises and frightening shadows, and by the time my internal clock woke me up at seven I felt like I hadn't gotten more than a few hours of sleep. The long night showed on my face as I sported dark shadows around my eyes and pouches big enough to hide an elephant.

I was just attempting to dress myself and had my arm through the head hole of my shirt when there came a rap on my cabin door. I hurriedly put the right limb in the right hole and opened the front door to find Vuk on the other side. His injured hand lay by his side and I noticed it sported a fresh change of bandages.

He smiled and bowed his head to me. "Good morning, Miss Stevens. My Master would like to know if you wish to have breakfast with him again."

I was thrilled to hear Will was all right. "I'd be glad to if you're doing the cooking again," I returned.

"I am," he promised.

"Then count me in," I replied. I tried to step out, but Vuk stepped in my way.

His eyes fell on my collar. "Your locket, Miss Stevens," he reminded me.

The locket. He'd made me promise to wear it whenever I could remember it. "Oh, right! One second." I hurried back to my room, grabbed the locket from the nightstand and slipped it on. Then I returned to the door and Vuk gave his approval with a nod.

Vuk led me across the lawns to Will's cabin. I stepped inside and expected to be met with Will's cheerful face. Instead there was no one but the top of a head peeking over the back of a chair beside the roaring fireplace. I looked to Vuk whose smile faltered. He turned his attention to the kitchen.

"You can come closer to me. I'm not contagious," Will joked from his chair.

I prepared myself for the worst and strode over to stand beside the chair. My eyes fell on Will's pale, thin face and the shivering hands that clutched the arms of the chair. He wore a heavy sweater and sweat pants, and was wrapped tightly in several layers of quilts. There were dark patches under his eyes larger than mine, and a flush on his cheeks that bespoke illness.

"Will. . ." I whispered. I couldn't think of anything else to say.

"I had a bad night last night. I'm sure Vuk told you I was out hunting wolves," he commented.

I knelt beside his chair and took one of his thin hands in my own. "You should have stayed in bed," I scolded him.

He chuckled and squeezed my hand. "I should have, but I'm a fool when it comes my own well-being," he replied.

"Well, you have Vuk and me here to make sure you're not a fool until you get well again," I told him.

"This will pass.
