My Secret, My Bully, My Mates

I shake myself from my thoughts. I have no control over how they act. I am not the cause for everything that they do. They have jobs to do and got serious about them is all. They are going to start the transition soon and they know they can't mess around anymore.

"Will Jena and Lil be next to the Cunnignham's room, or are they on the other side of the hall? I don't know if I want anyone near them for an extended period of time."

"They have three rooms at one end of the hall. I will put you girls at the other end, but I think that will work in our favor since you will be closer to the third floor staircase. Maybe it will derail Kaley's actions. We should check in with Lucas too, just to see if he has had contact with Warrior Brogen about your prisoner. Anything from him on your current situation?"

"I haven't heard from him. Either of you had orders?" I look at my friends, who both shake their heads. "Weird. I told him we would wait for orders, maybe he wants us to just stay put. Maybe they caught up with rogues too and are tied up at the moment. We'll give it twenty four hours and then I will check in again."

The three of us start to move towards my door when Luna Ava laughs. "Girls, you have been at this roughing it thing for too long. Stay here and shower, change, and for the love of my sanity please tell me if any of the blood you are covered in is yours. We can meet with Lucas when you're done. Slow down, there is nothing rushing you right this moment. You could all actually rest. I think I heard you have been up for almost two days."

We all look at each other. I know for me it's the first real look I've given my friend's since we met up with the rogues in the forest. We look like a hot mess warmed over. Even though we are all in our standard issue black uniform, it is apparent that we were tumbling around in the dirt. There are still leaves and twigs in both girl's hair, so I can safely assume I have them in my hair too. The finishing touch is the streaks of blood we all have on our necks and hands. There is splatter across Lil's face and Jena looks like she's a vampire rather than a werewolf.

We all start laughing unreasonably hard. This should not be funny at all, but none of the guys said a thing to any of us about it. Although that may explain some of their reactions and the way they were talking to us.

"Sky, your clothes are still in the closet, but I dare say you have filled out in your time away. Look at these muscles." She smiles at me. "Let me see what I can dig up for you ladies."

We each make quick work of showering the battle off of us. Luna Ava brought us all clothes in every shade except black. I just rolled my eyes and laughed at the options, then we all fought over the darkest colors. I ended up in navy blue leggings with a white t-shirt. Jena got the black leggings and a red t-shirt. Lillian got gray joggers and an orange t-shirt.
