ShadowFire: Unwanted (Unedited) (BOOK 1)

Chapter Eighteen

Heli's P.O.V

Twitching nervously, my eyes scanned from left to right, how had I gotten back in this cell? I thought Shadow said we was going out? I was so confused, and who the hell was crying on the other side of Heather?

My eyes narrowed and I peered sideways, watching Heather flop on the cot she looked annoyed, then again I thought she was annoying no matter what. I didn't even want to talk to her.

I peered beyond her to the new girl who had stopped crying but was just sitting there, unmoving, she had delicate white lace wings that had light specks sprinkling out from her, she sure didn't seem happy.

“umm...” I uttered. Rubbing my head.

Shadow came in then, and unlocked the door of mine, I was having a odd feeling I was repeating an day. I slowly walked out and stood next to him, he smiled knowingly, and just lead the way walking a bit ahead, I knew he expected me to follow. I tilted my head glancing nervously sideways. Heather was staring at me. She glared when I looked and looked away.

I bolted after Shadow, glad to leave the Dungeon.

He stopped at the top and tugged me out from the entrance way and locked the door behind me.

“Stay inside, I don't care if you go out in the courtyard if you want, but otherwise stay within the castle walls. I'm trusting you Heli, to listen for a change. Do this and I might not have to keep you in the basement.”

He walked off.

I smiled, this was the first time I felt relieved. I wasn't sure what was going to go on, but I guess this was better then nothing. I had gotten lost in the hallways and moved around them and finally entered a grand ball room and sat down in the middle of it, oogling its elegant features. I was amazed I didn't even notice Fire, had snuck up behind me and tickled me I jumped screaming a foot in the air, and then laughed when saw Fire's face. Oh, it was priceless, he grinned and I brushed off some dust from my shirt, and whispered,

“Its just so beautiful here, really well crafted, I had no idea magic could do all this. I thought it was possible I just … never dreamed.”

Fire didn't speak, he just smiled and then disappeared. I shook my head, well I guess he don't like compliments? Oh well. I was done fighting them, it was so much easier just to listen. I sprawled out yawned and felt myself shift, I blinked huh? Shift? I looked around, things looked like I was farther down?

I ran across the room, feeling awkward, like I was running different, seemed had four legs.

I came to the courtyard just outside the ball room and there I ran to the middle fountain looking inside at my reflect. A white wolf pup looked back at me, panting a bit out of breath, fluffy and fury with the elegant black collar round the neck. Oh my goodness, I could change to a wolf? Aw I was so adorable. I smiled and lapped at the water then ran around the fountain a few times feeling so relieved. I loved this, I always wanted a puppy, it just so happens now I was a wolf. I loved it!

I dodged under a tree in the courtyard and flop down laying there my eyes closing again, basking in the moonlight.

Heather's P.O.V

When Shadow left with Heli, I was for once glad the princess left, “bitch.” I muttered softly then sat up and went to the bars, “Hey? Hope was it? Are you okay?”

Hope looked at me, tears lining her eyes, and she just snapped, “Do I look fucking okay to you! Leave me alone, I just lost everyone I ever loved, I don't want to deal with someone that stood by watching and then helped. Your a monster, all of you.” and she was sobbing again, her head on her knee's.
