Chapter 23 - The Ancient Bracelet

Nancy and her parents arrive home she was in a hast to leave to her room.

"Not so fast Nancy" her mother called waiting for her to turn around. Nancy swifty turn around to face her angry mother.

"You are forbidden to ever go in the woods again" she yelled expecting a reaction from her but Nancy didn't give any, it was pointless to argue with her she very well know where an argument will land her.

"Okay, mom, can I go now" Cindy didn't know what else to say she quietly watch Nancy leave to her bedroom.

Cindy was angrier at Travis for not saying anything. "I'm starting to regret making her go to school," she said angrily. "If she is going to start rebelling than it best she change school or be homeschooled" she growls.

"Stop it, Cindy"

"Don't tell me to stop, I can't remain calm like you, knowing our daughter is in danger" she screams as she leaves to their bedroom.

Travis went to Nancy's room to check on her. She was lying in bed. "Dad, am I going to stop schooling? Dad, I can't, not now that I am starting to have a life and real friends that care about me" Nancy cried while trying to sit on her bed.

"That's okay princess, just relax have some rest. I will talk to your mother, but tell me the truth, are you in any kind of pain or discomfort?" Travis asked holding his daughter's hands in his hand.

"No, dad" Travis was relieved. But he knew her time was short he have to find the cure fast in order to save Nancy

He kissed her forehead and left alone to rest. Nancy was in pain she couldn't wait for him to leave her bedroom.

She jumped on her feet when she remembered Wolfe was in the house when she left in the morning. She goes out to look for Wolfe.

"Wolfe, Wolfe where are you?" She called looking round everywhere in the yard for Wolfe .

She finally found him coming from the woods Nancy spend time playing with him. She talks to him like a person who can actually hear and understand her pain.

She got a call from Roland who was at her house.

"Go bye Wolfe, my parents are in the house so you can't come into the main house. You can always rest here. I know you will like to go back to your packs" she said as she runs to the house.

"What brings you here?" Nancy asked looking surprised, Roland in her house that late means something happened and she couldn't stay calm.

"Um, can't I visit my friend?" He asked with a goofy smile.

"I know you, Roland, what brings you here?" She asked folding her arms leaning on one leg.

"I saw you leave with Baby"

"Cut to the chest, Roland" Nancy was getting impatient.

"And your parents told me you fainted" he whispered as his eyes move around the cold room.

"You want to know if I'm okay and if Baby has something to do with it, as you can see I'm fine. He will never hurt me purposefully." Nancy sighed as she fall back on her bed.

"Give me your hand?" He ordered as he locks the bracelet on her hand.

"What is this?" Nancy asked staring at the bracelet in on her wrist.

"It's my mom's keep it well, I will take it back shortly" he whispered as he runs off before Nancy could ask more questions. She looked like she had a lot of them.

Nancy smile as she admires the ancient bracelet. She knows Roland's mother died when he was just a boy and wonders if he missed his mother.

Nancy spends the night thinking about Baby. She picks her cell phone and dials his number. She was anxious, not knowing what to say. Her heart skipped a beat when he answered the phone.

"Hey it's me, Nancy" she whispered clinging on her bracelet as she adjust herself on the bed.

"I know little cub, having trouble sleeping?" he replied with a soft smile that was telepathically convey to Nancy as she smiled back.

"Yes," Nancy replied with a sad smile this time.

"I wish I could go for a walk, but my parents are keeping a close watch on me right now" she whimpered.

"Look out your window," say Baby

"What? Why?" Nancy asked as she got up from bed to peep through the window.

She smiles and waves to him.

"Wait I'm coming down" she whispered as she climbs out through the window.

"Be careful" Baby said as he clutched Nancy, who was about to fall.

He becomes dizzy when his claws become visible. He couldn't afford to stand there any longer.

"Got to go," he said and ran fast into the woods.

"Baby wait!" Nancy called. She couldn't tell what she did wrong.

"What just happened?"
