A hawk flew down towards the lake, and landed on a certain rock. Though it was still a bit charred from his last time here, Rowan nevertheless transformed back into human form to lay down on his favorite piece of granite, to await Hayzie.
She would come, he knew she would. Then they both had some explaining to do.

During the journey from the forest, Hayzie had turned back many times. "I can't do this..." she kept muttering to herself. But inside, she knew this had to be done. Some explaining needed doing.
Approaching the lake, it took a while for Hayz to recognise Rowan lying on some near granite. "Hey," she said, her tone soft, but full of uncertainty.

Rowan looked up into the uncertain face of Hayzie. Smiling, he sat up and moved over a bit, to give her enough room to sit.
Deciding that he had best start things right away, before the blonde ran away from him, he said. "Its time I told you, Hayzie. I was trapped in the Valkerie's home for those three weeks. And the forest Lycans tried to kill me in my sleep."

Falling lightly onto the grass on the bank, Hayzie looked out over the water.
"I see..." she answered after weighing up Rowan's words. She hadn't expected him to launch straight into what had happened, but she also knew not to expect the expected around him.
"You're okay though, right?" she asked, a small tint of concern in her voice and gaze.

"Yeah, I'm fine. It was interesting, and scary, but I'm alright now." He looked up at her, and then lightly play-punched her in the shoulder.
"So why were you at the hospital Hayz?"

“Routine checkup?” Hayzie tried with a faint smile. Seeing Rowan with a look of disbelief on his face, she looked away and tried to think of how to put this. So far, she hadn’t had to relive her story to anyone. She had written it vaguely in a letter to Morgana, but other than that, no one else had asked. All some of her friends knew was that her hand had been bitten off. Closing her eyes, she once again saw Rikka sitting on the branch with her hand, the menacing looks of the three lycans… If Artemis hadn’t been there, she didn’t want to think about what would have happened.
“Okay, okay, I guess you’re wanting the truth,” she sighed – too tired to be able to put up an argument. But she still didn’t know how to put it, at all. Without being told she was a stupid idiot for what she had done.
“Well, this is the story. Artemis and I made up some polyjuice potion and I turned into Chailyn before going into the forest to try and stop this whole stupid war.” Looking to Rowan to see his reaction, she carried on, her gaze once again turned towards the water.
“But, the potion ran out before it was supposed to. After I’d spoken to Mondia and Rikka. And it didn’t go down too well… and Rikka bit my hand off,” here, Hayzie’s voice faltered slightly from fear. Though she had no idea what she was actually scared of. Nothing worse could happen.
“And the deal I made with them so they wouldn’t kill me was that I stopped supporting the tunnels and stay out of the forest. Art got me out of there after I made it, and the next thing I knew, I was in the hospital. Kasey managed to grow my hand back but I found out I’m…”
Hayz cut herself off as she frequently did. She still couldn’t bring herself to say the three simple words that now described what she was. The blonde girl couldn’t say them. She still didn’t want to believe it herself. Tears prickled at her eyes and she had to turn away, she wouldn’t cry, not now.

Rowan looked at her. "So let me get this straight. You took a polyjuic potion, walked into the forest, impersonating Chailyn, and tried to call off the war. Butnthe potion wore off, and the lycans bit off your hand, agreed to let you go, only if you dstopped supporting the Tunnels, and then you went to the hospital where you grew back your hand, but found out you were a lycan?"
Rowan looked at her still. "Jeez Hayzie, that sounds like something I would do.. Are you okay?"

Hayzie nodded once. "Yep, that's what happened."
The blonde girl allowed herself a small laugh at what her friend said. Rowan was right, it sounded like something he would do...
"Yes, I'm fine... honest..." she added the latter as and afterthought. Hayzie knew as well as anyone she was physically fine, but inside, she felt awful. Alone and awful.
