16 - Explainations

Within an hour the four of us sat in the office. The door was locked and James was feeling much better with food in his stomach. He sat in the chair and looked at his wrapped up arm. I watched him with concern while Daniel and Patty read trough the texts in my phone.

When finished they looked up and handed me, my phone. James stopped picking at his bandage. “So can someone explain everything from while I was gone?”

Daniel looked at me. “Let whisper tell her point of view of everything.”

I nodded and began. “You left a few days ago and while you were gone a lot happened here. During the second day that you were gone something happened to you… I was at the store buying supplies to start a journal when a pain hit me…”

I looked at him. James had a distant look to them as if remembering.

“You did something that caused me great pain and anger and I spent a while in the hospital because of it.” I remembered how I clawed myself so I pulled down the V of my shirt just enough to see the faint red claw marks.

James grimaced and put his head in his hands without a word.

“I felt angry but I calmed after talking to my wolf. Over the next few days Daniel learned of your capture and a person I knew when I was younger came and made an agreement that helped Daniel rescue you. I was told that you had gotten shot and your sickness has been poisoned induced by your captures. Daniel brought you here and watched over you.”

James sighed and looked up at me. “I’ll explain myself later from what I can remember. All I can say is don’t hate me.”

I nodd and look away from him. Daniel spoke up then. “James, you gave the entire pack a scare when Whisper was hospitalized and again when we heard of your capture. You gave me a scare personally when you were shot. But you are better now but not out of danger. Whisper has been threatened over text by a person in the pack’s lands. We are to believe that he is stronger then both of you and that he is of higher intelligence then we are.”

James growled. “Whoever it is threatening Whisper will be killed. And I will work to figure it out. Any ideas on who it could be?”

Patty shook her head. “We only know that the person knows Whisper, believes himself stronger then her, and claims to know a weakness in her.”

James growled again. “He is badly mistaken.”

There was a growl down stairs. I jumped up from the chair and James growled in response. “Is that the guard dog from the corner of the living room? Where did he come from?”

I sighed. “He is a wolf with vampire venom. He isn’t our guard mutt. He belongs to the rebellion’s money bank, Ryan. Ryan is the person who gave us info on where you were held. Shay, the mutt, is larger and stronger then I. When I attacked Ryan for a few past incidents, Shay talked and held me down easily in my wolf.”

James growled and looked at me. “You you sure the Mutt can’t be the one to threaten you?”

I looked at Daniel and he answered. “No but Shay is not a werewolf meaning his had no human side and no shifting abilities as far as we know. But he rarely leaves the house eve if Ryan is not here.”

James nodds. “So we have no clue to who this person is?”

I shook my head in response. James lets out a defeated sigh. “Well if we are done here, I would like to talk to Whisper privately.”

Daniel nodded and left. Patty touched my shoulder before she left as well.

As the door shut I looked up at James. He looked sad. “How much do you know? I’ll fill in the rest.”
