Fenris grinned before walking the opposite direction down the hall. He came to the end and pushed open the large double doors. "This is our room." he told her, gesturing for her to go in ahead of him. "The bathroom is on the left and the closet is on the right." he told her, pointing.

Bella clapped with glee as she saw the bedroom. She pecked Fenris on the cheek again and disappeared into the bathroom.

Fenris smiled softly. "I'll be back soon. I need to go check on Careta and Ashton." he called out to Bella before disappearing out of the doors.

Bella leaned against the bathroom wall. She closed her eyes as she slowly slid down until she was sitting on the floor. She leaned her head on her hands, her eyebrows creased together from the pain in her head.

Careta had just finally found Ashton when Fenris came up behind her. "I believe we all need to have a talk." he said quietly to both of them.

Ashton was leaning on Careta for support as usual. He nodded his head at Fenris's words, looking grave.

Careta led Ashton over to a couch and let him sit back on it before sitting next to him. Fenris moved over and perched on the edge of the chair across from them. "I need you to tell me everything you know." he told Ashton seriously.

Ashton got his breath back before looking at Fenris.Bella has always been this way, ever since I can remmber. I do not know exactly what happened. I do know that my mother was supposed to have twins and she had a hex put on her while she was pregnant which combined the twins into one body. Bella was obviously the dominant twin, so she had full control. Ana must have broken through finally, until she did. Now Bella's body belongs to herself.

Fenris felt a pang in his chest at the man's words. He had indeed fallen in love with two completely different people that shared the same body, but now one was gone. "Does Bella know all of this?" he asked Ashton.

Ashton shrugged.Sometimes she does, sometimes she doesnt. It depends. But one thing I do know is that a life like that will not leave her with a well functioning mind.

Fenris sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "I know her mind is not normal." he muttered. "Is there anything that can be done to help her?" he asked Ashton.

Bella grimaced. The silence was piercing. She went into the bedroom and picked up a glass vase that was sitting on the vanity table. She drew her arm back and threw it against the wall with all her strength.

Ashton looked at him. I don't know of anything. All you can do at present is love her.

Fenris jerked his head up at the sound of glass shattering before glancing at Ashton. "I already do." he said before taking off to his room. He threw the door open and immediately searched the room with his eyes. He saw the broken vase on the floor by the wall, before turning his attention to Bella.

Bella looked at Fenris, her expression shocked.Um.. I was... it's very quiet in here. She looked like a child who had just done something wrong.Sorry.

Fenris slowly approached Bella before reaching a hand up to stroke her cheek. "It's alright. A vase is easily replaced. I apologize for leaving you alone up here alone. Is there anything I can d for you? Or perhaps is there anything I can get you?" he asked.

Bella smiled at him, leaning into his hand. When he stopped talking, there it came again, the deafening silence that made her want to curl up into a ball and cry. She felt a loss that she could not explain, an ache deep in her chest that she had only felt once, when her uncle had died in prison. She gripped Fenris by the arms, leaning her face into his chest as she shook silently, unable to cry.

Fenirs was startled when she leaned into his chest and started shaking. "Bella, darling, what's wrong?" he asked, worried.

Bella's eyes were wide as she looked up at him.I feel so emptyShe whispered.

Fenris' expression was pained at her words. 'It must be because Ana is no longer a part of her.' he thought, a throbbing pain in his chest. He smiled sadly at Bella, realizing that silence was not helping her. "Would you like to return to the pack's caves? Ashton can come with us if he wishes to do so." he asked her.

Bella looked up at Fenris, her eyes sparkling with fresh tears.Yes. But why did we leave? Did they not like me? I knew they wouldn't She said quietly, one tear rolling down her cheek before she angrily wiped it away.

Fenris frowned at the sight of the tear and at her words. He reached up and cupped her cheek gently in his large hand. "Of course not, Bella. They adored you! We just had a run on with some bad people and you were not yourself for a little while. I brought you here so that you could rest without being disturbed." he told he softly.

Bella nodded, not believing him but she complied to make him happy. When do we go?

"We can leave as soon as you want. If you would like we could gather some of the clothes here to take back if you would like." he told her. All Fenris wanted was for Bella to be comfortable and happy.

Bella shook her head.I don't want anything from here. I just want to go. A boy's voice snarled through the silence.Father says that you must stay here. said Matthew.

Fenris jerked his head up at the boy's voice. He immediately grabbed Bella and pulled her close to his chest, wrapping one arm around her protectively, the other hand clenched into a fist as his nails elongated into claws and his teeth turned into sharp wolf canines. "You can not control her!" he snarled viciously.
