Sebastian's point of view:
Each blow causing a surge of pain to spread through me. But if it care. I'm the reason Alina almost died, the reasons she lost control of her dragon. I've messed up everything... I'm the reason... for all of this.

Alina's point of view:
The heat turning into cold around me, fatigue washing over me. The pain almost to nothing. My vision blurry and unfocused my head pounding, I stared at my hands my nails to normal, I hope my eyes have changed back. My hair in clumps begin or knotty and messy. Above all relief washed over me as cold air hit my skin. I wonder if I'm changing in a hot place, would there be a separate room for each different temperatures? Yes. That seems right. Looking at my arms the buckles are making my skin red raw, my memory faulty. I blinked my eyes as they felt heavy and weak. I tried to speak but it just came out as a mumble.

Suddenly I was caught ajar as the door unlocking and opening, noticing the only source of light was the heat is making them room red. Now they were off, letting in natural light seep through the sky roof. All at once they came in. Halle first, not shedding a tear until she got to me. I embraced her in a hug. Sebastian is my hero. If he didn't get me out I would have shifted or died as a wolf. I finally let go of Halle making room for Gem. First she was hesitant then she embraced me.

"When can I get these shackles off?" I asked the nurse in the room where she came over and unfastened them, placing a bandage around my red raw wrists layered with a herbal cream. I rubbed them instantly.

Gemini let go of me regaining her sass. Halle had stopped crying by now and so had I.

"You really scared us out there! "Said Gem comforting Halle.

"I'm glad your okay." Said Halle giving me a weak smile, I did the same. Jacob gave me a reassuring smile as he walked to Gemini and Halle.

I scanned the area until I stumbled upon the one person I want to see the most.

"Sebastian." I said as glee filled my voice.

"Lavender, your okay." He diss happily as he walked to hug me. I winced at his touch as the electricity surged through me. He bent down and whispered in my ear "sorry."

"It's okay I don't mind." I replied with a whisper, knowing what he meant. The electric.

He gently pulled away, deep in my heart I still don't trust him. I'm just playing nice. If I find out what I think is true I would never trust him again... I sadly looked at him.

"She's not here."He said keeping his gaze to the ground.

"What happened to your face?" I Asked him softly.

"Serina lashed out. Don't worry about it. I'm fine." Sebastian said smiling.

"Nurse please check him out and get everyone out I need to rest." I instructed as the nurse ushered everyone out.

Sighting I held my thoughts together, I don't trust him. This could all be an act. He's been so shady and cryptic, I just don't know how I feel about him. Yes he saved my life but... I just don't know how I feel, especially after what he said in his dragon. Maybe I just imagined it? If it wasn't a confession I don't know what it is, I'm just going to have to build up my walls high and figure this uneasy and non-trusting feeling out. I gently let my eyes close as I laid my hard back on my pillow. Thoughts swirling in my mind, I know what I thought before... love, I was desperate and terrified of death. But I can't do that again, mistakes are made. I just don't trust him, enough is enough! I let myself drift into slumber. One thought still oh my mind... friend of foe, love or friendship?
