Chapter 5: I Have to Get Out of Here

My head pounded. It felt swollen and huge. It was so heavy, I couldn’t lift it. That’s when I realized I was lying down.

“If not, I’ll send someone after him,” a sudden voice echoed around me.

It was him again. It was the voice I’d been dreaming about, the voice that had kept me grounded… Soren.

He pulled me from the darkness. I started coming back to myself and my body. My mind hovered between unconsciousness and wakefulness. Back and forth I drifted from being aware and being unaware.

It was as if I was part of two worlds, the world of the living and the world of the dead.

Would I ever be able to wake up? Would I see daylight again and be free of this endless dream?

I was trapped in a prison. A prison made by my own mind and body. I didn’t even know if it was real or part of the dream. Regardless, I clung to that voice hoping it would pull me back to reality completely.

“Are you sure you should be putting so much effort into this girl?” a female voice asked. I vaguely remembered hearing her name… Ashley.

I tried to open my eyes but my eyelids were too heavy. They stuck together, refusing to let any light in. I couldn’t see who was talking or where they were. Whatever they were talking about was important and I had enough sense to listen.

“I know you’ve been keeping an ear out. Have you heard anything in the town or from outsiders?” Soren asked, clearly ignoring the original question.

“Not much,” she replied, her answer was a bit curt.

“Ashley, tell me.” Soren obviously didn’t fully believe her.

Ashley complained, “You know I don’t like to listen to gossip and I don’t believe rumors. It hasn’t been easy to figure out what is true.”

“There has to be some truth in them,” Soren chuckled, like a spoiling big brother trying to persuade his naughty baby sister to do her homework.

“So says you. I know otherwise. You can’t trust the rumors spread by drunk shifters. They tend not to see reality.”

If I could have smiled, I would have. She sounded like someone I would get along with. I tried to smile but my mouth wouldn’t move. I didn’t even know where my mouth was.

“Alright, that is all true. So what you’ve heard? Mind sharing so I can determine what is worth investigating?” Soren suggested patiently.

“If that’s how you want it. Well, one rumor that seems to be common is that she is a fugitive from the crown. You know the Alpha King’s preferences… a pretty girl like that. She could be on the run from him.”
