-Asher's p.o.v-
*After dinner*
Jessica and I were looking around the training area and Eclipse is standing there looking after us. Jessica asks her for some blood and they both leave saying their goodbyes to me.
This place is perfect for all of us to get ready for the fight. I promised Jessica's parents I'd take care of her for as long as I live. I will do so even if I die trying. Grace flashes through my mind and I wonder how she is doing. I have no idea where her room is but maybe if I try to catch her scent, I can find her.
I make my way back upstairs to the main floor. I exit the elevator and stand still and smell in the air around me trying to pin point Grace. I can't find it. I pick one of the hallways to go down and follow that while taking time to stop and smell around each door. I know once I get that first wiff of her it will be easier to find her.
For fucks sake how long are these hallways! At this rate I'll never find her.
"Hello there. Are you lost my love?"
I turn around and Eclipse is standing behind me.
"I was looking for Grace. I wanted to check in on her. Can you point me to her room?" I ask. She smiles and shakes her head left and right.
"I hate to say it but she is getting worse my dear Ash. I advise you not go near her. I believe she is contagious and we need both you and Jessica safe from sickness. Please, let me walk you back to your room." Eclipse holds out her hand. I stare for just a moment but don't want to seem rude. I reach out and give her my hand. She leads the way.
After a while we make it back to my room and she invites herself in. She walks over to my bed and takes a seat, patting down on the bed beside her for me to sit next to her. She smiles softly at me. I do as she asks.
"My dear Ash. It is an absolute pleasure having you here. Thank you for coming and bringing Jessica with you." She says taking my hand in hers. "But I do have to be truthful to you."
I turn my head to one side. What could she be talking about.
"I poisoned Grace." She blurts out.
"You did what?!" I shout at her. What the hell is she saying!
"I poisoned her and she will be dead in just a few days." She says once more.
No fucking way. I have to tell Jessica now.
"Does Jessica know? " I ask. She just shakes her head from side to side smiling. "I'm going to tell her. You do know this right?" I finish.
She stands up smiling and makes her way to the door. She turns around facing me.
"That is why you won't be leaving this room anytime soon." She spits out while opening the door. A very old woman wearing a long black cloak is standing on the other side of the door. Eclipes steps out backwards and the old woman says something I cant understand and waves her hand up and down. What the hell is this. I walk towards the door stepping fast. I go to take a step through the door and I'm thrown backwards with force. I fall to the ground with a loud thud. This makes me angry.
"Fine. You want to play rough, let's play rough!" I growl out. I take a step forward and start running faster towards the door. Mid leap I transform into my wolf form and crash hard into the makeshift door. Again, it throws me back. What the hell is going on. I walk towards the door and look up to Eclipse.
"Oh silly me. I forgot to mention my witch friend here. She put a spell on this room that not even a wolf can conquer." Eclipes says with a giant smile on her face pointing towards the old wicked witch. "You'll be stuck here for as long as I desire!" With one last sweep of her hand the door shuts in my face. I howl in frustration.
How the hell am I supposed to get to Jessica now. A better question is why is Eclipse doing this and how does she have a witch? I didn't know witches existed. This can't be good. I have to find a way out of here now!
