Underwater With Claws

Chapter 11

Maku and I acted quickly. We picked them all up and sat them each on a chair. We wrapped their arms and legs in cloth then tied them up using rope made up of wolfsbane. It would keep thm restrained without hurting them. It took them a couple of hours to wake up and I sat patiently waking. They finally all woke up and I could see the shock in their faces. I saw Claire moving and a bit of the rope touched her skin. She screamed and I saw Joey's eyes widen and his head whipped to where she was sitting. "I wouldn't move if I was you. Those ropes are made up of wolfsbane. I don't want to hurt you, that's why you have cloth wrapped around you but if you move I can't help you."

I made the mistake of looking at Jace and I can see the hurt in his eyes. It made my heart hurt "What are you? How is it possible that you took down 8 Wolves?" Maku had left me alone with them knowing that it was my choice on what I tell them or not. I sigh knowing that my only choice is to tell them, I can't keep going on like this. "I'm going to untie you all now I need you to promise me that you will just follow me and you won't hurt me or Maku I'm going to tell you everything." I go up to Jace first taking off the rope I look into his eyes and whisper sorry, he nods and stands up. I untie the rest of them and I nod for them to follow me.

I get to the basement door "Can you all take your shoes off please and be careful it's slippery down here." I open the door and start to walk down the steps. I lead them all to the pool "if you all wait here I'm just going to go behind that screen and get changed and then I'll be out and tell you." They all look confused but nod "feel free to dip your toes in its warm." I walk behind the screen and I undress and dive into the water. I swim to the bottom so I can change without all their eyes on me. I can feel my tail grow and I took a deep breath. I was really doing this I was telling them I was telling him everything. Well here I go.
