132\u2013Into The Well\u00a0<\/p>\n
Madeline:\u00a0<\/p>\n
Panic surged through me. We were running around looking for my children, and during that time I felt myself slipping.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If Baxter had not been with me, I would have completely lost control.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I kept crying out for them, screaming, even falling to the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baxter had to turn back and hold on to me to comfort me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then Lena finally decided to do something about it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can tell where they are,\u201d she uttered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stopped. My hand stretched out toward Baxter, stopping him because I had been holding his hand. He turned to look at me, waiting for me to speak.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cReally? Can you find them?\u201d I asked her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIsn\u2019t that what I said?\u201d she snapped, and I clenched my jaw.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLena says she knows where they are,\u201d I remarked to Baxter, informing him of my wolf.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, tell her. Tell her to take us there,\u201d Baxter insisted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou heard him. Please take us to our children,\u201d I requested.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She told me to follow her. I gave her some control, and we started moving along the path she guided us toward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I guessed she connected well with the children, so she could sense them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She said something was terribly wrong, and that the energy was too strong for her to ignore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She led us to a large cleared area with a big well in the distance under a large tree.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That was when I saw my children standing next to the well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKids, step away from it!\u201d I screamed, waving my arms to get their attention. They were still far from us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to hurry,\u201d I stated.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baxter was already prepared to sprint. We both began running, but halfway through we witnessed the most horrifying sight I knew I would never forget.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Elara stepped back, placed one hand on her brother\u2019s back and one on her sister\u2019s, then pushed them into the well right before our eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, Elara!\u201d I screamed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For a moment, I dropped to my knees, but Baxter kept going, and I forced myself up, rushing after her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baxter quickly pulled off his shirt before reaching the well, and the moment he did, I saw him jump straight into it without wasting a second.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I ran toward Elara, grabbed her, and pulled her back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cElara, what did you do?\u201d I screamed, shaking her by the arm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? I told you I don\u2019t like them. Why didn\u2019t you take me seriously when I told you to get rid of them?\u201d she replied in a voice that sounded almost demonic, and my heart pounded in my temples.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everything happened quickly. I pushed Elara back to keep her from jumping after them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the same time, I reached the well, and I noticed Elara coming toward me, chuckling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I held her tightly from behind to keep her secure while I looked down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope they drown.\u201d As soon as Elara said that, I turned her around and grunted at her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. Listen to me. They are your siblings. You will not speak of them like that,\u201d I nearly screamed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I saw her face twist into a scowl.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t make me hate you too,\u201d she remarked in a flat tone. I had never seen my children act this way, and it terrified me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cElara, what is going on with you? Please tell me,\u201d I insisted, shaking her a little as tears kept falling because two of my children were inside the well with one of my mates.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then a voice rose from inside the well, and my body lost control. I still held on to Elara while leaning forward to look down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baxter surfaced with a loud gasp. His arms stayed wrapped around both Gina and Bodhi, keeping their heads above the water.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing them gave me a moment of relief, but the danger was far from over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The well was deeper than I had expected, and the stone walls looked damp and uneven.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I leaned forward as much as I could, gripping the rough edge while keeping an eye on Elara so she would not attempt anything reckless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBaxter, are they breathing?\u201d I called out. My voice cracked as I tried to steady my hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are. They swallowed some water, but they\u2019re breathing,\u201d he replied, tightening his hold on them while he\u00a0<\/p>\n
treaded the cold water.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The walls had patches where the stones stuck out, forming a narrow path upward. They looked slippery but stable enough to use.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs there anything you can use to climb?\u201d I questioned, scanning the stonework for a usable route.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By now, Elara had stopped struggling. Her body went slack in my arms, almost as if she had fallen asleep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My attention shifted to her, and my eyes widened when she suddenly passed out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cElara, Elara!\u201d I panicked, lowering her gently and touching her cheek in an attempt to wake her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is going on?\u201d Baxter yelled from below.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cElara passed out!\u201d I shouted back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs she breathing fine?\u201d he continued to ask.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, she seems fine, just sleeping,\u201d I replied.\u00a0<\/p>\n
2\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen it\u2019s fine. Let\u2019s focus on these two first,\u201d he urged, and I forced myself to stay focused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was becoming harder to manage all three children at once.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I returned to the edge of the well, making sure Elara lay safely on the ground.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, I can see a ledge near my left side,\u201d Baxter stated. \u201cIf I lift Bodhi up first, can you grab him?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, give him to me,\u201d I told him, stretching my arm as far as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thankfully, the water level was high enough to reach.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If the well had been dry, it would have been nearly impossible for Baxter to climb with both children.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Baxter pushed Bodhi upward, guiding him toward me. I reached until my shoulder throbbed and finally caught Bodhi under his armpits.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Water streamed off him as I pulled him up and rested his weight on the ground before easing him down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He coughed, but his chest rose with each breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I wanted to hold him and wake him, but Gina was still inside with Baxter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBaxter, I got Bodhi. Now give me Gina,\u201d I instructed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
