The wolf-girl calls me a fool, and I only smile. It's not as if I haven't heard that before. And it can try to eat my daughter. I somehow doubt she will allow that if I fail to keep her safe.
Westin tries to make it go away by threatening to tell it's mother, and I would laugh at the absurbdity...
but the wolf knows many stories, and the wind starts to howl around the house. This dream is going from bad to horrific, and of all the days for Rose to tag along! I sheathe my sword and look my tiny daughter in the eye.
"Rose, Rose you must wake up now. It is not safe here. Please sweetling, wake up!" I beg her, my voice rising to be heard over the wind as the house shakes and rattles. She does not leave me though, merely keeps my gaze. Stay with Mother, safe. Shake my head. "It's not! Wake up and call your father to care for you if I do not follow!" I beg, knowing he will care for her if I cannot. Still, Rose remains, even as the house flys apart, even as Kate dissappears from sight...
Root cellar. I spin and find a door, throw it open and plunge into the darkness, clutching Rose to me for dear life.
