I - Os Dois Lados da Lua | I - Two Sides of the Moon

I WIN A REPRISE OF AN AFTERNOON OF TERROR

POV HOPE

It was horrible to see that movie go through my head again, my mother's screams, my utter helplessness and that sense of guilt I hadn't felt in a long time for putting her in this situation. I tried not to freak out, we would certainly find a way out of there alive, preferably me with my wolf side intact. I was calculating our chances when Lizzie said:

LI: - Okay, a crazy and supremacist wizard wants to kill Hope, unoriginal wish. We can finish him.

JO: - With these chains? Without holding us up? Or with our best weapon hanging upside down?

LI: - You were more optimistic once, Jo.

JO: - Yes, yes, but our chances of not being killed were also higher.

H: - You will not die. Nobody here goes.

F: - Right, is this a premonition? I would very much like it to be a premonition.

H: - No, Finch, I'm using optimism.

J: - It suits you very well.

H: - Don't talk to me, I still can't look you in the face.

J: - I wish I could have told you, I would, when we were safe. - He said distressed.

H: - Julio, when under normal conditions I was already safe in life?

J: - We just didn't want you to go through this, that you didn't even take the risk.

H: - That Paul told you to do this I understand, what I don't understand is that you came together.

LI: - We convinced our father that we would keep you safe.

H: - It's not really my safety I'm worried about, Lizzie.

LI: - I know, but we do. It was a difficult year p a ra you, okay! Can you just appreciate our gesture of friendship? The team panda is not the same thing with just two pandas.

J: - Pandas? What is she talking about.

LI: - Our thing, cat wolf.

For a moment I was relieved not to be alone, but that relief was short-lived. I very much appreciated the affection and consideration the twins had for me, I loved them very much for it, but this was a different situation. If this Saul was as mad as Greta, I was putting the people I love in mortal danger again, and I couldn't bear to lose any more of them. I thought it was better to raise the team's morale:

H: - Right, we've been in disadvantageous situations before. Just be quiet and don't say anything, when I think of something, let's get the hell out of here. Julio, let's take stock.

J: - Right. It's two wolves with tranquilizer guns, but they've already used half ammo on us. I can't hear any more voices so it's just them. They're probably from the Northeast Atlantic, meaning they can't control the transformation or use powers like me if they get the chance. Third, I think our biggest problem will be dealing with Saul when he arrives.

JO: - We could have magic for a surprise attack, but with these chains it's not possible.

F: - We can break the chains, it's only the effect of the drugs completely passing that we will have the strength to do so.

J: - It would be a good thing if we weren't a cell away. These bars are tough, we can't just crush them.

I'd forgotten how good it was working with J u lesson, he always was a smart kid and so we understand each other very well from childhood. Witches without magic and without the strength to break the chains would be our biggest problem. Finch and Julius could fight the wolves in minimally frank combat. I could feel my strength slowly returning, but no magic thanks to the special chain around my ankles. If I managed to get free before someone else came in, we would have a good chance. I managed to plot an entire escape route in the extraordinary case we could count on luck, but all the optimism went down the drain when he entered.
