CHAPTER 26
"Information," Caroline said simply. "Yes we need to embrace all this We are still unclear if they are referring to a real war. What can this Amelia do? And mainly, what does Bruce want?
Caroline rose from her chair and walked around the small kitchen that was available in the trailer. "Of course, you also recalled something Bruce told you about how her so-called hybridity was a big plus and how the Pack had been ‘saved’ by her. To complete the assessment of Amelia's productivity it is necessary to check these allegations. "
Ema slowly began to nod as she thought about it more and thought that Caroline’s plan made more sense. "And what vision is this that Amelia says she has?’ The one where I am fighting alongside them?"
Caroline gives Ema a profound look and shrugs nonchalantly. "Yes, that makes sense. That is fascinating. The first of the abilities – purported precognitive skills – needs more investigation. Are they authentic? How accurate they are, if that is so? "
"But how can I do all of this and not alert anyone? However, the moment she felt the cumulative workload beginning to pitch" Ema asked a question on the extent of liability.
Caroline had a practically razor blade like grin that accompanied her raptor-like appearance. Thus, there was a hoped-for response of "Carrying out their wishes exactly". You are going to be a perfect, loving pack member. You will work harder in your training and become that much more of a pack member. Ensure that they get a perception that you are as much a realist of their cause as they are.
Ema furrowed her brow. ‘What about her contract, too? In one month it will finish’, Then, what?
Caroline said, “You will tell them you have decided for her to stay when the time comes. ” “You now understand how important it is to stick to the pack knowing what they have revealed to you. They will relax their guard and fully trust you since they are glad that you are on their side now. ”
Despite these doubts, Ema had the blueprints of a plan, and you could do one better than that, a pretty detailed plan at that. The events in everything, the following questions may render themselves: ‘What if I cross a line? What if I start to develop feelings for these deceivers I am lying to?
Caroline frowned a bit, However, her face relaxed, and a moment later she was smiling. You will hence be submitting to me period reports. Whereas, am going to act as your reference or better still, the constant reminder of our laid goals and objectives. Side by side, we shall light this truth. "
Ema straightened her back and took a deep breath looking as determined as one could be. "Okay. I'll do it. But Caroline, to the point about what are we searching for? To what extent is the last objective?
Caroline said this so softly, Ema could barely hear her, “A loophole. “ “We are looking for some sort of escape, some way to protect the Pack and us from the impending storm, whether that storm is something they have manufactured or the war they speak of. ”
Ema nodded a mixture of resolve and unease rising in her stomach. This is cool and if this gap is discovered? Then, what?
Caroline instantly looked livid and a fiery spark could be seen in her eyes. “Then we use it,” to escape, to regain the position of the Luna, to show the truth, and to save the Pack no matter the cost.
With that Ema could only tremble with fear at all that was implied in agreeing to what was said by her and the connotations that came with it. She decided to double-cross them both and it was going to be a risky business to do that. All could crumble with one misstep, or most distressingly, with one mask coming off.
Then with a soft voice you could barely hear, Ema muttered, “I’m scared, Caroline. ”
Caroline placed her hand on the table and pressed her palm to take Ema’s hand into hers. “Okay, then fear will make you wary and watchful. However, do not forget, you are not doing it single-handed I am here with you, right till the end. ”
This determination made Caroline have strength for Ema, so she squeezed her hand. “How shall I convey messages to you? I have to plan my visits to see you in such a way that people will not suspect. ”
Caroline bends her head, her wheels of thinking towards the issue already in motion. “We are going to place the series of dead drops within the forest – locations where we can put notes for each other, Apart from it, there is an out-of-date distress signal that would be used in case of an emergency. ”
Ema recalled the signal: a certain howl that Caroline had thought her years before: it was a way of communicating and, to the layman, sounded just like any old howl.
Finally, when Ema looked at the sky and saw that the sun had risen she had to return to the Packhouse. She shot up from her seat feeling the weight of her new assignment having dawned on her.
“Let me tell you something,” Caroline said as she got up and started to walk Ema to the door, “you should never fully trust anyone. ” Not Amelia or Bruce, not any of your closest Pack friends. Now you are choosing a role. Keep the lines distinct.
Ema nodded with a look of resolve on her face this time. ”I understand. Caroline, I will not disappoint you. “
The scene of the morning light passing through trees, when Ema went into the forest, made her feel like she had just opened her eyes for the first time. Every shadow was potentially dangerous and every meeting was a betrayal of her trust.
With each of the steps she took it seemed that the way back to the Packhouse was even farther and the path was even more twisted with lies and secrets. However, the tension was almost unbearable and scared Ema to an inch but she held on to Caroline’s words like a precious pearl. Now she had a goal in her head, something more noble than just wishing to be a liberated woman.
Ema was set on getting to the bottom of the matter to know if the war was real, not to mention the hybrid threat that concerned the two. Thus, she wanted to seize the opportunity of not having this segment of her contract filled, as well as a method of protecting the Pack that has turned into her sort of clan.
Ema took a deep breath as the Packhouse appeared in the distance then adjusted her face to a nonchalant expression. The moment that the game had begun, one could not retreat anymore and had to face the music. Ema stepped forward to become a true pack member to perform her duty with the help of her mind will solve the mystery that was threatening her world for the last time she glanced behind at the trees concealing Caroline’s cabin.
