Raven Hood

Chapter fifteen

Raven/Emma's pov:

I wake up with a cold breeze blowing on my face. I see the stranger had just opened the window.

Why would be open it? I could easily escape.

"I was pretty sure you wouldn't try to escape again".

It's like he read my mind.

"I did".

I block my thoughts instantly and he chuckles.

He turns around and I see the syringe of wolfsbane in his pocket.

"Do you like permanently carry that"?

"What? Oh, the wolfsbane? Yep. I'm under strict instructions to do so. Apparently your a tough little fighter, a sneaky, nimble, never giving up rouge".

"And you don't believe that"?

"Uh well, I don't see how you could be much of a threat considering you're a girl but"...

"Wait you think I'm weak cause I'm a girl"?

"Well"...

"Okay rookie you think your better wait till I get out of this wrenched hospital then we'll see who's a better fighter huh"?

"Well, I'm not sure I'm meant to fight a"...

"Consider me a guy. Your not afraid you'll lose to a girl are you"?

"Fine! Fine whatever. But before we shake on it lets share our fighting history. I'll start. Okay, I'm the best fighter and guard that's why I'm guarding you. I fought a whole pack with a few mates. I've killed every opponent where I'm aiming for death. I've been training since I was 3 years old. Your turn".

"I took down a whole training group full of big males including the instructor with ease. I've taken down many pack members and rouges throughout my time as a rouge. Not to mention how rouge I am. I ran away from my mate without looking back. Oh, and did I tell you about the time when"...

I pause in mid sentence as a man comes in.

"Liam? Why is she awake? She shouldn't be awake yet".

"How would I know. She just woke up about 6 hours ago".

"But? It's not possible. Is it I mean it was a lot of wolfsbanes".

"She says she's tough".

"She must be".

"She also said she isn't affected by it much. Says she never has been. Oh and Christofer can I fight her when she gets out. In the arena. She claims she could beat anyone in our pack with a wolf on wolf battle".

"I can't see the harm. But after questioning okay? And make sure all doors in the arena are locked before you start. Go over the safety proceeders of course. I'll double-check with Finn. I'll catch you up if you aren't allowed".

"Yeah well, I'll be here".

"Okay. Well, I just came to say there's a visiting guard coming if you want him to guard her. While you have your week off".

"Uh no. No. I'll be okay for now. Thanks though. I'll let you know if I change my mind".

"Uh okay"?

With that, he walks out the door.

"So your in"? I ask.

"Of course. You're on rouge. Wait! What's your name"?

"Uh", I stutter.

"Cait? Um yeah, Caitlin"?

"Okay Caitlin", he says with a questioning look.

"Well, I'm Liam. That was Christofer, and our Alpha is Mark. Finn is his son and soon to be Alpha in a few weeks. We're the frost warrior pack. We are also one of the highest-ranked in the world. So it's kinda weird for a rouge to come here. You're going to be the gossip here for a while, Caitlin".

"No change there", I mumble.

"What"?

"Nothing".

"So why am I... What do you want with me exactly"?

"Well, we have to question you. Ask you why you came here. Blah blah blah. I'm going to be there when the question you and tell the truth, Caitlin, cause they smell lies", he sniffed the air near me.

"Weirdo no one can smell lies"!

"I can. I know your names, not Caitlin".

"Well, it was pretty obvious".

"Yeah your not good at lying".

"Actually I've lied a lot and I'm pretty good really".

"Yeah. Right. That's very believable".

"Think what you think I honestly don't care".

"Okay. Whatever. Now go take a shower".

He says handing me a towel and pointing towards the bathroom.

"Thanks", I mumble.

"What was that darling"? He says smirking.

"I said thanks"!

"Much better".

I roll my eyes and get out of the hospital bed.

I'm relieved to see I'm in my own clothes. But where my cloak and mask?

"Hey, Liam. Where are the rest of my clothing items".

"What"?

I sigh. Boys!

"My mask and cloak".

"Oh uh I don't know I'll ask the nurses when they come in".

"Okay but I want them back clean and in tiptop condition for when I get out of here".

He stays silent.

I walk into the bathroom and take out my ponytail.

I take off my clothes and place them on a rail. I hang the towel up and wait for the water to heat.

I hate this shower. It was either too hot or too cold!

I scrubbed myself so I was dirt and grime free.

Then I washed my hair.

I massaged the shampoo into my hair.

It's been a while since I last had a shower. Feels good.

Now if only I could get out of here.
