( Ummmm...what's goin on with Ashton??? lol )

"I apologize for all of the questions. I worry to much." Fenris told her. "Would sparring help to relieve your anger?" he asked.

"Perhaps your body is simply having difficulties with the Change again. With blood as bad as yours I can understand how that could be possible." she said, her nose wrinkling at the foul smell.

(We did this ages ago remember? You'll have to look quite a bit back to find it)

Bella hesitated, then nodded.

Ashton leaned away from the healer.Ive had some... Difficulties with health. He said slowly.

( lol already did. I was just wondering if you had changed your mind and decided to kill him off. soooo???)

"Would you like to spar in one of our lower caves or out in a clearing?" Fenris asked her.

"That is an understatement. Your blood reeks of disease." the Healer commented quietly. "I need you to give me a more descriptive explanation of what your past health has been." she told him.

(I dunno, I don't really want to kill him off rn. Any idea?)

Bella shrugged. Somewhere where I can't hurt anyone.

Ashton looked down.I don't really know. I'v never been fully healthy. My parents used to talk about me behind closed doors.

(Maybe have him be Changed again? lol I don't have a clue!)

"Let us go to the lower caves then. I can have guards posted by the entrance so that no one will bother us." Fenris said as he moved to a little alcove on the wall. He pulled out several articles of clothing. "Would you like something else to train in?" he asked her.

The Healer frowned slightly. "If that is the case then we definitely need to act quickly if we want to find out what is going on." she told him. "There are some illnesses that simply do not adapt easily to the Change."

(Me neither... lets just go with that then)

Bella shook her head. She was well used to fighting for her life in any given situation.

Ashton nodded, squinting through the headache that had started up inside his brain.

Fenris simply nodded before quickly changing his clothing. He did not enjoy sparring in clothes that restricted his movement or hindered his fighting skills. He changed into a pair of dark, tighter pants that were made from a stretchy material so that he could move easily and a thin shirt. He wore no shoes. "Let's go." he told Bella, leading the way down the side of the mountain and to another cave entrance.

"I need you to tell me who has Changed you." the Healer told him.

Bella followed him.

Ashton closed his eyes.This huge... thing. I've never seen a Were that size before.

Fenris lead the way down the steep and narrow path that eventually opened into a huge cavern. He stopped and motioned for a couple of warriors that were sparring to come to him. "I need you to evacuate the cavern and have at least two warriors standing guard at the entrance. My queen and I wish to spar and I would prefer it is no one bothered us." he told them. They dipped their heads at the same time before departing. Soon everyone had left and it was only the two of them in the huge cave.

The Healer nodded at his words. "Only Ancients can properly Change humans. Do you know which one it was? Cuchilla or Colmillo?" she asked.

Bella stood in the corner, fists clenching and unclenching. People always doubted her because of her size and gender. She had fought for her life way so many times, she was nearly unmatched.

Cuchilla sounds familiar...

Fenris moved so that he was standing a few feet away in front of Bella. He moved into a fighting stance and waited for Bella to make the first move.

"Then that most likely explains why you have not healed." the Healer told him. "Cuchilla is an Ancient and an alpha, but she is not a part of our oldest, true alpha."

Bella always tested her opponents first. She darted forward and to the left, facing him at all times. Her fist lashed out, long nails swiping at skin.

Fenris turned to keep Bella in his sight, staying light on his feet as he dodged the swipe of her nails.

Bella followed him as he dodged, her hand diving into her boot and coming out with a brown stick. It looked like a twig that had been broken off of a free branch. She trailed it between her fingers before pointing at the ground and shouting something in some sort of language. A ring of fire erupted around them.

Fenris snarled and surprise, shrinking away from the fire at first due to his wolf instincts, but quickly turned his attention to Bella once more.

"For a Change of the magnitude that you require the oldest alpha of the pack that contains an Ancient must be the one to perform the ritual." the Healer explained.

The fire made Bellas eyes shine in a way that made her look positively mad. She stood with her hands splayed at her sides, waiting for him to strike.

Ashton nodded.Theres no need to go to such efforts for me. I am nothing special. Ha stated.

Fenris watched Bella closely before suddenly lunging straight at her.

"On the contrary, you are related to our queen, therefore making you a very special part of our pack." the Healer told him. "It could mean potential punishment if I were not to go to such lengths to help you."

Bella flicked her shoulder back, dodging him neatly.

Ashton looked uncomfortable. He did not like attention.Okay... what do we do?

Fenris skidded past the woman and nearly touched the surrounding flames. He caught his balance and started circling Bella, staying just inside the roaring fire.

"We will need Fenris and a full moon which won't be for another day or so, but for now you need to get as much rest as possible." the Healer told him. "What are some of your worst pains at the moment?" she asked him.

Bella followed his movements with a steady eye. She looked like a cat stalking her pray.

Ashton struggled to find just a few.My chest... I can't breathe. And my head. He said softly.

Fenris bared his teeth before darting past Bella and going for her legs to try and trip her.

The Healer nodded and moved over to one of the many shelves on the walls. She pulled several vials of both liquids and powders down and moved over to a small stone table. She began mixing the potions into two separate bowls. She then poured them into their own bottles before bringing them over to Ashton. "This one should help relieve any pressure on your breathing." she told him, holding up a bottle with a brown liquid. "And this one should help with any headache or migraine." she added, holding up the other bottle that held a greenish liquid. She handed both of them to the man.

Bella leaped over him smoothly, landing on her haunches and giving him that same, controlled look.

Ashton took the bottles and eyed them both. He had taken medicine his whole life, this was nothing new to him.Can I take them both at the same time? He asked.

Fenris growled again when he missed, but couldn't help a grin at the speed and control Bella contained. She would be a powerful queen. He started circling again, looking for an opening.

"Yes, but the combined taste can be a little to much for some people." the Healer warned him.

Bella followed his movements, flipping the stick around in her fingers again. She whipped it to the left, causing the earth at Fenris' feet to shudder and crack.

Ashton threw both drinks own at once, patience eluding him. He shuddered a bit at the taste.

Fenris felt the shift beneath his feet and leaped directly towards Bella, his arms outstretched to grab her.

The Healer waited until he took them both before taking the bottles from him. "You are to stay in one of the smaller caves within my own so that I can maintain your condition until the full moon." she told him. "I can have Careta come in and show you to them if you would like." she added.
