Chapter 17

Nellie jumped from the bed frightened, she had slept off crying. Looking around, Nellie could tell she was not alone in the room, she wondered if it was Earl. No, she had left him in the hall and she knew he did not come after her. Nellie began to panic, she was still drowsy from sleeping, she was not half awake either. Nellie was awake but she couldn't see, she wondered if it was night already,she didn't know how long she had slept for. Feeling the bed with her hands, Nellie decided to use her powers, as a werewolf she could smell, hear and see things in a way normal humans could not. Nellie hated awakening her wolf because it was often difficult to control her, Nellie damned all odds and inhaled, she listened carefully for any unusual heartbeats and she heard it- two heartbeats. Alarmed, she immediately raised her hands to feel her eyes,her fear confirmed- the rogues were here for her and they had blindfolded her. Why did they not bind her hands? Were they still in the castle?
