Do You Believe In Magic? - Chapter 11

Chapter 11

Sable's POV

I've searched everywhere and I can't find them. I don't want to head back to the house without them. I need to find them for Brenin. He shouldn't have to worry about them when he's fighting to get well. Maybe I'd better head back. I never noticed that the sky is getting quite black. Darn it's starting to rain, I'd better run.

What just happened? All of a sudden I'm flat on my face on the ground. Thank heaven I landed on a pile of leaves or I'd probably...What is that shadow? It's coming closer and I can't seem to move. Where are my knights in shining armour when I need them? The shadow is starting to take shape. Oh my gawd, it's Rom but how can that be? He's dead. I must have banged my head when I landed. It can't be Rom, it can't be.

Willy's POV

"That's it, Sable's not back so I'm going to find her. She needs to know that all the wolves are safe. I'll be back when I've found her."

I grab a raincoat for myself and put it on. I grab another one for Sable because the sky is getting dark and it feels like it's going to rain. I'll never find her if we have a storm. Which direction did she go in? I'll just go up this path for awhile and then start in another direction if I don't find her.

I hear voices coming from behind those bushes. Sable and no way, it looks like Rom but it can't be. What's going on? He's disappearing into thin air. "Sable, are you alright? I pat her face and her eyes flutter open. "What happened? Why did I see Rom or was it just my imagination?"

Sable's POV

Dark, so dark. I hear Willy calling me. I slowly come to and hear loud screaming. Wait, screaming is coming from me. "Oh my gawd, Willy, I thought I saw Rom but that's impossible. He's dead isn't he?"

"Sable, I know he's dead but remember it was foretold that strange things would come to pass before the prophecy can be fulfilled. Maybe Rom is just trying to warn you about something."

"No, he looked like he wanted to kill me. There was such hatred in his eyes. That thing couldn't have been Rom could it?"

"I don't know. I only caught a glimpse before it took off but it sure looked like Rom to me. Somebody's playing tricks with our minds."

Sable's POV

I struggle into a sitting position and hold my head in my hands. "I have such a headache and I'm so wet and miserable but I have to find Maebh and the pups."

"It's okay they're at home with Brenin. Now grab my hands and I'll help you up. Easy, not too fast."

I'm so dizzy. I must have really bashed my head good when I fell. Maybe that's why I thought I saw Rom. No, Willy saw him too so I guess I'm not losing my mind unless he's losing his mind too.

Willy gives me a hand up. "Thanks Willy, you're always coming to my rescue. I hate being a damsel in distress. You know how I feel about anyone who plays that role."

"Here, put this on. It'll at least keep you a little warmer until I can get you home."

I try to put my arms into the raincoat that he holds up for me but they don't want to work. Willy grabs my left arm and threads it through the left sleeve and then does the same with my right arm. I feel so sick to my stomach. I'll just hold on to Willy's arm and he can help me get home.

Willy's POV

I put my arm around Sable's shoulder and we start down the path for home. She is shaking so hard and now she's starting to retch.

"Okay baby, let it come. You'll feel better after you get rid of everything."

I'll just hold her head while she throws up. Poor thing, it's been pretty traumatizing for her. I wish I could make it all go away but I can't. It's something that she has to face head on, but she won't do it alone if I have anything to say about it. I can't protect her 24/7 but I can at least try.

"Feel better? Good, let's get you home before you come down with pneumonia."

She can hardly walk. I better pick her up and carry her the rest of the way. Oh no, she's passed out. I hope she doesn't have a concussion. There's the house now.
"Aron, open the door." I yell.
