"So, there aren't any physical signs of trauma. You are a tad bit underweight but other than that you are healthy," Ally says, giving me a smile and a gentle squeeze of my hand. "Are you eating regularly?"

"I am," I say, looking away as I throw the half-lie at them. While I was eating, I was not able to finish what was on my plate, my appetite having diminished drastically as the days went by.

When I look back at them, I don't miss the look of pity they give each other before Ally gets up from her seat next to the bed, Raina taking the spot. Usually, I would be sitting on a clinic bed when this consultation took place but one of the spare beds in Dmitri's house would have to make do.

Ally and Raina had played a huge part in my recovery after The Incident, helping me put together a picture, from what they knew, of what had happened in my lost time.

"Let's talk about your newfound... abilities. So, apart from the fact that you can now hear and smell as well as any werewolf can, has anything else presented?" Raina asks, her tone much firmer than Ally's. While Ally is calm and makes one feel comfortable, Raina is all business.

"There is something new. I can move. Very fast. It has happened on two occasions, not something I seem to be able to control, just like everything else. I can't tell if I am physically moving from one point to another or if I am moving between points if that makes sense. One minute I am there and the next I am somewhere else. The other night I was in my bed lying awake and the next I was in the kitchen," I say, thinking back to how freaked out I was about the incident.

So freaked out apparently that I alerted Dmitri to the fact via out bond. The next minute one of his warriors, Dylan, was outside my door, knocking incessantly. He seemed to be genuinely concerned, his presence in my life almost leading to a forced friendship of sorts. Shrugging it off as nothing, I tried reigning in my feelings so that Dmitri would calm his shit down. This bond thing was nothing but infuriating.

"Okay, that is new," Raina says, looking at Ally.

"Anything else?" She asks as if all of that is not enough.

"Nothing else, thank goodness. Are we done? I want to leave." Without waiting for an answer, I hop off the edge of the bed, side-stepping Raina still sitting in the chair.

I hated being in this house. Too many horrible memories.

Raina gets up behind me, the firmness in her tone bringing me to a halt as I approach the door of the bedroom.

"Not quite. How are things between you and Dmitri?" I spin around, looking from Ally and Raina as they stand there, expectantly waiting for an answer to a question that has no answer.

"Fine. Peachy," I say, schooling my expression so as not to raise any concern.

"I doubt that. Not from what has been happening the last two days," Raina says, her arms crossing her chest, a look of doubt on her face.

"I don't know what you mean." I really had no idea what she was talking about. Perhaps Dmitri had said something?

"You have no idea what I'm talking about? Dmitri. Locked up in the basement downstairs. For two days. Did you even notice he wasn't around?" Raina asks me in an accusatory tone, her expression turning to anger.
