Chapter <b>101 </b>Amalie
“Wee my <b>dear</b>,” the female from myst dream says as she looks down at me<b>. </b><b>She </b>stands over my bed.
“Hi, I say simply. I sit up
the bed I had beenying down. I look around Why was Iying
down? Where was Cal and Mark? “I’m sorry, I don’t remember your name.”
“That is quite alright,” she says <b>with </b>a smile. There is something in her smile <b>that </b>I can’t <b>ce</b>, but it’s gone as quickly as it appeared. She then hands me a robe.
I look down to see myself in a thin nightgown. I take the robe from her and put it on. “Thank you.” I
<b>say</b>.
“Follow <b>me</b><b>,</b>” she says. I know that it is a suggestion, but it feels like an order.
I simply nod my head. I get up to follow her, but my legs give out and I fall to the floor. “What’s wrong with my legs?” I ask as <b>I </b><b>look </b>down.
The woman kneels down next to me. She looks at my legs. “You had a stressful day. Stress and pain. manifest in sleeping realm differently than in the waking realm, or the realm of the living. What you experienced earlier today, is attacking your legs here,” she exins.
“What do you mean?” I ask in confusion as I look at my legs.
“You are transversing the realm of sleep,” she exins as she puts a hand on my leg.
I try not to shiver at how frigid her touch is. Her hand is worse than ice as she runs it over my leg. “What are you looking for?” I ask, trying to distract myself <b>from </b>her cold hand.
“Your wolf slumbers as <b>you </b>are here, so she is unable to heal you,” she continues to exin.
I nod as if that exins everything <b>and </b>made total <b>sense</b>.
‘But, here, if you are powerful enough, you can manipte the realm,” she finishes. She then mutters something under her breath that I <b>am </b>unable to understand. The woman looks up at me and
smirks<b>. </b>
“What did you do? Who are you?7 I ask as I look at her to my leg and then back at her.
“Someone who is misunderstood,” she tells me as she stands gracefully. “Come, the others a waiting to meet you.” She <b>then </b>starts to leave.
“Wait!” I say quickly as I stand up. There is <b>no </b><b>pain </b>this time.
“Come<b>,</b>” she tells me simply as she leaves the <b>room</b>.

I follow her, not sure where she is leading me. “Please, will you at least answer me this<b>? </b><b>Who </b><b>are </b>
you?” I ask again.
“I will answer you, when we meet the others,” she tells me as she continues to walk.
I want to demand answers to my questions. If this is truly where I hade thest time, when I had that weird <b>dream </b>a few nights ago, I want answers. But I do not get to ask as I follow her through the halls.
Instead, I look around at the walls. This time I am able to study the walls as I am walking, not running. The walls have murals of trees, like a forest. So, I was not imagining that. They are very
lifelike.
I go to touch the wall when, the woman stops me. “Do not touch the walls,” she orders.
“Why?” I ask in confusion as I stop, an <b>inch </b>
from the wall.
“They are en hanted for protection,” she tells me.
“Magic?” I ask in disbelief.
“Yes, please keep <b>up</b><b>,</b>” she tells me as she continues to walk.
1 roll my <b>eyes </b>and follow <b>her</b><b>. </b>
We finally reach the ballroom from my dream. As we enter the <b>room</b>, the woman’s dress transforms into a sleek ck and red dress. My own robe transforms into a deep blue dress that matches hers.
The woman continues on into the room. There <b>are </b>people in the room, <b>they </b><b>stare </b>at us. She pays. them no attention as she continues. The people bow theirs heads at her. I stop in awe at the sight<b>. </b>She must be some kind of Alpha to these people.
The woman sits on her throne <b>and </b>then looks at me. “My name is Countess Francesca Trivulzio,” she tells me. “I am a witch from the Coven.‘
I stand there <b>as </b>I take in what she says. A witch, that is not possible. They all died out years ago, killed by humans. “The Coven?” I ask, raising an eyebrow.
tried
“I know,” she smirks, “not a very original name. Our original name has been changed and lost over time. We have gone by many names. Been a home to many people. Humans have feared to kill us over <b>the </b><b>years</b>.
“In this realm, the realm between life <b>and </b>death, we <b>have </b>taken refuge,” Francesca says. “Humans have long since feared what they do not understand. They hunted us into near extinction. We have been <b>forces </b>to hide <b>here </b>like rats.

‘So, the strongest of my kind built this pce. A home that we can live in peace away from <b>humans</b>. We <b>have </b>been forced to live here for years now,” she hisses.
“I don’t understand what this has to do with me?” I ask when she stops.
“You my dear have everything to do with it,” she tells me.
“What do you mean?” I demand.
“You-”
