Heroine

Four- Another Day

"What do You mean he's not got it together?" Kane asked over the phone,

"He's missing a few limbs!" She snorted with laughter
"Never mind it sounded funnier in my head, so the replacement will be here in the next 20 Minutes to serve breakfast tomorrow morning ASAP yes, Thanks Kane!" She ended the call and didn't give him time to say no ,

She returned to the dungeon on her side of the castle with a silver knife ,

"So mr Chef, why did you poison our food?"

" I was just following orders," he says bluntly

" what's that...... you want me to stab you with this knife?" She slices it into his thigh multiple times and he grunts in pain as the silver bubbles and burns him, that one one of us werewolves only weaknesses. "sorry I was just following orders." She says mocking him,
He cleared his throat and began to speak,

"He isn't at his sons graduation, he doesn't have a son, he was at his father Loreté's funeral, and his cousins, they are the hunters," he coughs up blood when I jam the knife into his lungs,

"Who ?"
When he remains silent she runs the silver knife up hid stomach and he winces,

"Stephen......., Your trusty servant" he laughs manically,

"He is Loreté's son, Stephen's cousins are the hunters."

"Why are you telling me this?" She asks suspiciously,

"Because your too late, Stephens cousins are already after you, Kane never even noticed!"
He splutters as the blood comes out his mouth and runs down his chin,

She walks out and locks his cell, leaving him tied to the chair inside.

"What? not going to kill me?" He says tilting his head,

She clicks her tongue "oh don't tempt me, as much as I would love to, what'd be the fun in that, instead I'll let you heal them do it all over again, but I'm burning your arms,"
She says indicating the wheel barrow to the side with a cream bloody cover over it containing several body parts from prisoners,

"Also ,I'll just leave you to suffer, maybe then you'll learn your lesson about poisoning the queen."
She is met with silence, she turns the wheel barrow round the corner and he starts to croak out,

"Happy birthday to you, won't for-get your past, happy birthday to Aramine......"

There was a pause and a short burst of laughter before he continued,

" 'Cause this one's your last...." He snickers as she ran her wheel barrow outside and went round to the back garden ,

She went to he big pile of logs, still smoking from their last use, navigating her way in the dark,
She reached out with her hands, sparks flying from them and catching a small glowing fire on the pieces of dry grass at the top of her bonfire piled high with wood, splinters, and anything that would light, as well as a birthday card from her brother,

Happy 20th birthday sis!
Hope you have a lovely day,
See you soon
Lots of love from Jon xx
He had been sending the same words for over five years now and they meant nothing now. Her little brother hadn't showed his face since he was 7.
he'd be 19 now.

The fire lit around the bonfire and soon the whole thing was consumed by billowing smoke as the licking flames reflected off of her eyes,
She then took the cloth of the wheel barrow as her slightly charred card flew away,

"Dammit" she cursed and finished putting the limbs on the fire as the smell of burnt flesh entered her nose, foul and disgusting,

She glanced up to the building and locked eyes with someone through the window,

Logan's penetrating gaze seemed to stare right through her soul and she turned in shame lifting the arm of her chef and chucking it in until it is completely burned,

She summons her powers and looks to the sky, sweeping clouds over head and making it rain, the water comes down in buckets, putting out the fire, although she just can't find it in her to stop the rain , she smiles as her hair sticks to her neck,

Run.
Her wolf says
I. Want. To. Run.

And she does,
She runs off in a straight line, and away into the forest before changing into her wolf her beloved dress shredding, her dark brown fur with glowing grey eyes replaced any human in her.

They run for an hour before she makes her way back to the house to check her guests are still alive,
She grabs her wheelbarrow and a dressing gown from her cloakroom and dumps the barrow in the dungeon before greeting her new cook who apparently had arrived when she was out.
She goes along to the boys room , logan's first,

She knocks lightly on his door and he swings it open for her, she barges in and sits on his bed.
"I'm not a murderer, Your safe, it's the chefs body parts, I got the wheelbarrow from B&Q and you saw nothing." With that she stands up, Logan blocks her exit as they stand chest to chest,

Just then Matthew walks in,

"Hey Lo....... oh my god! My poor eyes! I'm sorry for Not knocking bro but dude seriously!"

She laughs and pats Matthew on the shoulder when Logan lets her past,

"Honey that's the least of your issues here," she gave him a wink before disappearing down the hallway to her tower where she dried her hair and changed into an evening dress before heading down to dinner.

To her astonishment Matthew is sitting at one end of the table his fork and knife in his hands hitting them of the table chanting;
" We want grub, we want grub.,,"
He stops when he sees her approaching and smiles, She sat at the opposite end of the long table and he frowns,
He takes his chair and his place setting and comes and squishes in next to her.

"I hope you don't mind I requested pizza and chips for dinner?"

"Of course, you are my guest.you may have what you wish"
"Let me guess now you start singing 'be our guest' and transform into a prince and you have a magic candle stick and clock that talk and I can't go in your west wing tower and then Logan appears in a yellow dress."

Aramine burst into snorts and unattractive laughter, "god it's not beauty and the beast!"

He flicks his hair and jams a thumb in his direction,
"but if it were I'd be the beauty"
