"I don't think he was very happy that I thanked you, Mr. Briar. But I truly didn't know who to thank for saving me. I think that I messed things up without meaning to." I felt like this whole situation was my fault. I was the one who got sick and then I was the one that angered the werewolf. Now, if my dad doesn't pay the debt he might die. That was all my fault.
It was at that moment that I remembered what my dream had said.
'No, Adelaide. I am not going to die again. I refuse to let that happen to me. I will fight it. I will stay strong. Mom and Dad will do something to help me, I just know it.' I remember that I was crying and my voice shook when I made that declaration.
'Can they save us, though? Do they know how to? We do not just have a fever. We're dying. They need to do something that most are incapable of.'
'They will, I know they will.' I had tears streaming down my cheeks as I hoped that I wasn't going to die again.
