(Y/N)'s P.O.V

Merrick's grip around me was deadly tight, and I hear Elinor grunt softly. I slowly open my eyes, and see Elinor holding her paw up still, but her face was horrified.

She looks back at us with wide eyes as I slowly turn my body to face her.

"My... Lady?" I softly question, making her grunt and rise to her feet, staring at her paws.

She looks up at us before glancing down, almost ashamed.

"You... Changed..." Merrick breathes out, "like you were a... Bear..." Elinor gasps and shakes her head, "on the inside..."

Elinor whines lowly before looking at me, her ears flickering up and she lets out a startled gasp, staring at my arm.

Merrick looks over before gasping as well, "(Y/N)... Yer arm!"

I look down at my hand, gasping when I see my hand and forearm missing. The transparent-ness had reached my shoulder and I hadn't even noticed.

"Oh, no, no..." I mumble, in shock at the loss of my arm.

My transparent hand remained, barely visible. The transparentness had traveled up to my shoulder, most of my arm faded.

Elinor whines but pauses, her eyes widening as she stares past Merrick and I.

We slowly turn around, I gasp when I see the familiar small blue flame watching us.  The wisp gently calls to us, swaying ever so slightly.

"A wisp..." Merrick breathes out in relief, smiling slightly at me.

Elinor lunges forward, rushing towards the wisp. The wisp squeaks and reappears as she pounces at it.

"My Lady, no!"

"Mum, stop it!"

She continues pouncing and trying to catch the wisp, and pauses, staring at Merrick and I.

I slowly glance down and see the wisp resting, half on my shoulder and half on Merrick's. Merrick looks down too, nervously looking at his mum.

"Mum, no!"

We both shriek slightly as Elinor lunges towards us and we dodge her large paws as she swings them at the wisp.

The wisp disappears again, and Elinor opens her paws with a smile before frowning when she noticed she didn't catch it.

"My Queen..." I trail off, knowing she wasn't listening.

"Michty me," Merrick sighs, standing next to me with folded arms.

I giggle slightly, making him look at me with a raised brow.

She hears the wisp yell towards us and starts chasing it in a zig zag motion before slamming through a tree in an attempt to follow the wisp.

"You sounded like Elinor," I reply, making him playfully roll his eyes and push my shoulder slightly.

We rush over to Elinor as she stands up, dizzy.

"Mum, I know you're scared. Me and (Y/N) are, too," Merrick starts, "yer tired, ya don't understand..."

"But we must remain calm," I finish, making her glance at me with uncertainty.

"Aye! We've got to keep our heads," Merrick agrees, nodding firmly. "Just calm down... Listen."

Elinor straightens out, her ears flickering slightly as she glances around. I look around as well, trying to find the adorable blue creature.
