Daniel's Point of View
I slammed the door and the walls shook under the pressure of my rage. How dare they. How dare they accuse Melina of killing Iris. I put my fist through the wall and heard a whimper in a few rooms over. Melina's whimper. I wrenched the door open and ran into Gingers room. Ginger had been in-listed to watch over Melina. They were afraid that if she was left alone she would kill again and Ginger could protect herself better than any of the rest of us could. Melina sat in the corner of Gingers room where I left her curled up in a ball and rocking back and forth muttering a children's song under her breath.
"Ring around the rosie." She whispered in a creepy voice, her tempo slower than the song was origionally set to. She rocked back and forth with tears streaking down her gaunt face.
"Baby are you okay?" I knelt next to her and she didn't look at me. The rain that had been pounding the area since the day we found Melina and Iris suddenly picked up and more tears fell from Melina's eyes. I looked at my catatonic mate and touched her face. She turned to me and her sunken grayish face paled and her eyes widened.
"A pocket full of posies." Her tone was insistant and her eyes drilled into me as if pleading me to understand something. Her voice became shrill and her hands dug into my clothes as she shook me lightly.
"Get away from her Daniel." Ginger warned and I growled low in my throat.
"ASHES!" Melina screamed and shook me again as Ginger took a step closer to us.
"No. Shes trying to tell me something." I said and Ginger stilled to the authoritative voice of her Beta.
"ASHES!" Melina screamed yet again.
"WE ALL FALL DOWN!" I whispered and she screeched at the same time. She shook me again and settled into sobs.
"What is wrong with her?" Ginger asked.
"She went into shock when she saw Iris die and hasn't said anything but this rhyme ever since." I replied.
"Shes the one who killed Iris!" Ginger yelled and the room got hotter. "She deserves this!" she cried hotly.
"She didn't kill Iris Ging!" Rage at my mate being questioned bubbled up.
"So what? Iris offed herself did she?" Ginger fired back
"She may have! But I know Melina didn't!" The angry words tore the surface of reality and Melina began her mantra.
"Ring around the rosie!" she yelled
"Iris would never!"
"And how would you know?!"
"A pocket full of posies!"
"Because she never would! She had so much to live for!"
"Like her powers that didn't work?!"
"ASHES!"
"Her powers were just hidden! They would have come out eventually!"
"You dont know that!"
"ASHES!"
"And now we never will!"
"WE ALL FALL DOWN!" Melina's scream rang out as the door swung open and Tyler and Luke stepped in.
"Ginger are you okay?" Tyler said as he ran to Ginger and looked her over. The room cooled down and Il thanked god for it, for I had started to sweat.
"Yeah Im fine." She whispered back.
"What is going on here?" Luke snapped his face was red and his eyes swollen. I noticed that with his usual cargo pants he was wearing wristbands. That was odd. Luke seemed utterly beaten down. He was usually mean but ever since he met Iris he seemed happier and much more easy going than before. His mate was now gone and all kindness that had come with her or remained from before with her.
"She thinks Melina killed Iris!" I yelled at him and instantly regretted it, his already pale face turned paler and set in agony.
"She did. End of story." He said bluntly. I couldnt help sarcastically thinking, Yeah the end of Iris' story.
"No she didn't!" I yelled hotly and tugged Melina from her corner to my chest. "I will prove you wrong!"
"How? All she does is sing that stupid kids song!" Ginger yelled at me. "Ring around the rosie. A pocket full of posies. Ashes! Ashes! We all fall down!" She mocked in a terribly squeaky child's voice.
"Stop it Ginger." Luke snapped and he turned to me. "Get that murderous mate killer away from me or we might both have to deal with not having our mates." He threatened.
"Try it and Iris may see you soon enough." I said and stalked from the room with my whimpering mate in my arms.
