Do You Believe In Magic? - Chapter 12

Chapter 12

Aron's POV

Why's Willy banging on the door and yelling? Why doesn't he just open it, it's not locked.

"Stop howling you pups. Willy, what's going on? What's the matter with Sable?"

"She fell and hit her head. I'll just put her here on the couch. How's Brenin?"

"He seems to be resting a little easier now that Maebh and the pups are safe. How did she hit her head?"

"I'm not sure. I came upon her after she'd fallen and didn't see it. She kept saying that she saw Rom."

"But she couldn't possibly because he's dead and buried isn't he?"

"That's what we thought but I saw him too. At first I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me but it really was him."

"It's pretty miserable out there. Maybe you both saw a shadow or something that looked like Rom. I know both of you miss him so much."

"No, I thought that at first too but it really was Rom or something that was the spitting image of him. I can't worry about it right now. We have to make sure that Sable is okay."

Sable's POV

I'm walking down a long hall, where does it lead? Oh look, there's Rom. 'Wait for me Rom. I want to talk to you.' I guess he doesn't hear me so I'll have to follow him. What is this place? So many doors on each side, I wonder what's behind them? He's disappearing I better hurry up and catch him.

I get to the end of the hallway and look left (which is the direction he took) but he's not there. I look to the right but that hall is empty too. Where did he go? I'll just wander down here a bit and try some of the doors.

I try the first door but it's locked, so is the second and the third. What now? I have to find out if Rom is behind any of the doors. Oh well, onward I go. There must be 30 doors to check. What if he's not behind any of them? Then what do I do?

I'm getting tired of trying all these doors. If one of them doesn't open soon I will have to leave. I can't stay here forever. What's that, it looks like one of the doors is opening. Who's there? Oh my gawd, that arm with the talons, what is it? Could this be the creature that hurt Aron? Oh no, it has Rom's face. What's going on? I don't understand.

Who's that calling my name? They sound so far away. I want to answer but I can't. My mouth doesn't seem to want to work.

Willy's POV

"Sable,. Sable, wake up. You have to come back to us darlin'. Come on, wake up."

There her eyes are opening. She's coming around.

"Oh, Willy, it was awful."

"What was sweetie? What was awful?"

Sable's POV

"Oh, Willy, I saw Rom but he went running down this hall and I chased him. I searched and searched but couldn't find him, and then this creature came out of one of the doors and it had Rom's face. I think that it was Aron's attacker. Was I dreaming?"

"I don't know Sable. But now that we're all here and the wolves are safe we can start making plans on what we are going to do."

"I just can't think right now. My head aches too much. Can I have an aspirin please?"

"Okay, but only one. If you have a concussion we don't want to give you too not being able to wake up."

"Here they are."

"Thanks Aron. Okay Sable I'm going to sit you up now. Easy, I've got you. Open your mouth." I pop an aspirin in and give her a drink from the glass of water that Aron brought. "There you should be starting to feel better real soon. You have to stay with us now, no falling asleep until we make sure you're okay."

"No, drink slowly or you'll choke again. Okay, Aron, can you please watch her while I get changed?"
