Sarina's P.O.V.

We made our way down several hallways and stairs... man I hate these stairs.

When we finally come to the huge foyer, and there a women stood looking absolutely insane. I know I shouldn't judge but one look at this women and I wanted to run for the hills.

There was something about her, her and her crazy eyes and clothes. She just felt so familiar and not in a good way.

"Hello gentleman!" She hollers from across the foyer while wildly waving her hand as if trying to get our attention. Even without her yelling we would have still noticed her.

We slowly walk over to her, I'm more hesitant than they are. But can you blame me? That women looked like she just escaped from the looney bin, and I wanted her no where near me.

"Good afternoon doctor?". Garreth greets, and I can almost hear the aprehensión in his voice. He appears to be looking around for something or someone.

"Dr. Sinclair" she says.

"Forgive me Doctor but we were expecting Dr. Upton, where is he?" Garreth questions.

"Oh he was busy so you're stuck with me!" She explaines, but I'm still not trusting anything this women has to say.

"Are you qualified enough for this?" Garreth asks sounding more and more suspicious of this women.

"Yes yes, I've been trained by Dr. Upton for years! So trust me there's no need to worry!" She says, but I still refuse to go anywhere near her.

"Are you positive there's no way Dr. Upton can see her today?" Garreth ask.

"Well I'm the only with any training and if you have any love for your mate you'll allow me to check on her, and assess the problem" she says almost threateningly.

His eyes blur over and I notice the same happen with Enderson, they must have been communicating. I wonder if I'll ever be able to do that with them...

A spiritless can only dream.

"Alright you can check on her, but we'll be there the entire time", Garreth finally relents.

"Yes yes now where is my patient?" She enthusiastically asks.

I take that as my que to scurry behind Enderson, I don't know what it was exactly but I just got a bad feeling from this women. Like I remembered who she was and it wasn't a good memory.

"Come now dear no need to be shy" she cooed and it made me feel sick to my stomach.

Out of the corner of my eye I faintly saw her try to reach for me, but a set of growls quickly made her stop.

"My apologies" she says while bowing.

Good, stay away from me

"Hmph. Come we'll talk in the tea room" Garreth declares.

Garreth leads the way followed by that strange doctor. Enderson and I hang back for a second, he turned around to face me, his face filled with worry.

"Are you Alright?" He asks concerned.

"Yeah, but that women gives me the creeps" I say, looking in the direction she left in.

"Yeah she gives me that as well, but unfortunately she's the only one with experienced knowledge on this subject" he reply's. "And as much as I don't want you near her, we need answers especially when it comes to your safety".

"Yeah okay" I mumble and we both take off in the direction Garreth left in, I quickly grab ahold of his hand, giving me some sense of safety.

We finally get to the tea room and yet again and it still takes my breath away. Now that it's not filled with a bunch of snotty people, it seems so much nicer.

We all quickly take a seat at one of the tables, and without a second to waste, the Doctor asks,"So what's the problem?".

"We think she's going through heat." Garreth explains with an 'are you serious' tone.

"Yes I understand that, but I'm not seeing your problem, all you have to do is-"

"Don't finish that sentence!" Enderson exclaims.

The Doctor appears taken back by his sudden outburst, and honestly so am I. But I'm also grateful they aren't rushing me into anything.

"There are other reasons we cannot to do that, she's still very malnourished, not to mention...." Garreth trails off.

"What?" She asks.

So rude

"Were royals we can't mate until the blood moon" Enderson explains in a duh like tone.

"Why didn't I know that?" I ask.

"Because it happens in a month, and we didn't want you to feel pressured" Garreth says, looking at me with so much compassion I feel I may faint.

A clearing of a throat brings our attention back to the Doctor, "I'm not sure of your problem," she states.

"If the symptoms of heat are already being displayed, how much worse are they going to get?" Garreth grinds out through gritted teeth.

His answer scares me somewhat, it's not like I didn't know what heat was. I'd always heard horror stories when I was growing up of women who hadn't wanted to be with their mates and suffered through the heat. Some said it felt like you were being burned alive, and the only thing that would alleviate it would be their mates touch.

I nervously gulp not wanting to go through something like that, I shudder at that thought.

My nerves didn't go unnoticed though, because I felt a gentle squeeze on both my thighs. Garreth and Enderson had the same thought apparently.

"Hmmm well, I see your concern but there's still nothing we can do to stop the heat. All I can say is when she goes through it as much skin on skin contact will help", she explains.

"Thank you, you may leave" Garreth grunts out, when she doesn't he more forcefully shouts,"Now!"

Once she was gone I felt like I could relax again, but not for long before the weight of everything came crashing down on me again.

And before long I was having a full blown panic attack,

"Hey, hey it's okay" Garreth soothes.

"No it's not!" I shout tears threatening to spill over.

"We'll get through this" Enderson ensures.

"Speak for yourself! You're not the one whose going to start burning alive if she doesn't put out!"

"Don't worry we'll, we'll... cuddle?" Garreth offers, apparently just as confused as me on what to do.

"Yeah well cuddle... naked" Enderson says which makes Garreth smack him upside the head. I laugh at their antics.

"What? The Doc said 'as much skin on skin contact as possible' I'm only thinking here" Enderson explains.

"You okay?" Garreth asks.

"No, but I think I will be" I respond truthfully.

After the horror that had just been revealed to me, I told Enderson and Garreth I wanted some time to be alone. So I headed up to bed early.

I laid staring blankly at the celling, tomorrow was going to be a battle. But I was even more terrified about what's to happen with in the month.

When I finally drifted off to sleep, I was sucked into a dream and I was flying again...

But it wasn't like my other dreams of flying this wasn't peaceful or perfect. It was wrong so terribly wrong, the scales weren't smooth the were rough and worn. It was as hot at hell, and within this a flash of red eyes would appear.

They were daunting, and contained nothing but unbridled rage. And it would appear I was the center of it. I wanted to escape but I was trapped, I was either stuck with this beast or I would plummet to my death.

The decision was soon made for me because in an instance I was falling, falling straight into a darkened abyss.

With a jolt I woke up.

And knew tonight was gonna be a disaster...
