    ... foolish enough to go out without your weapons. You, of all people, know better than that.” “It wasn’t like I did it on purpose Cade,” she snapped. “I was a little confused about…” she stopped, deciding she was not going to get into this in front of everyone. Matthew put his arm around her and said, “Come on Cord, we will walk you back.” They walked her back to her house, and insisted on checking it to make sure everything was the way she had left it. Satisfied that nothing had been disturbed and no one was hiding, they left. She got back into her night clothes, crawled into bed and fell asleep almost immediately. The next morning Cordelia slept in; something she never did. She knew she needed to talk to Bishop Lucius before the rumors started. Cordelia lived behind the church and she didn’t even make it inside before four different people had stopped her and asked if it was true about the wolves. She had a sick feeling in her stomach by the time she entered the church. If they all knew then so did the Bishop. She walked behind Deacon John. As usual he had his head down writing. “Hi John, is Bishop Lucius in his office? I really need to talk to him?” When John turned to look at her, she saw how awful he looked.

I was starting to believe he had a virus,” the Bishop said with obvious irritation. “So tell me your version of last night’s events.” Cordelia started her story with not being able to sleep, but left out why she couldn’t sleep. She told him everything else ending with Matthew walking her home. He leaned back in his chair and steepled his fingers. “Cordelia, I understand not being able to sleep, it happens to the best of us sometimes, but going running alone at night without weapons was foolish.” The tone of his voice showed that he was disappointed in her lack of judgment. “I know sir and it will never happen again. I would like to gather my men and go look for a resting place; if it is alright with you of course.” He sat forward and started moving papers around, not looking at her. “Cordelia, I have already sent the team on without you. I asked Cade to lead them out this morning when it was clear you were not coming.” That statement knocked the wind out of her. She had seen him do that to other leaders as punishment for failing him. Cordelia had never had it happen to her. “How long have they been gone? Maybe I ...
