AN: Second update of the day! This is for you, LuMezenga.
Chapter Ten: Don't Mess with Me, I've got a Sister
I wake up in a comfortable bed. I'm about to roll over and go back to sleep, but the door opens and Alex comes in. She has food.
I sit up immediately, focusing on the smell of whatever is on the tray.
She gives me the tray, and this time, I don't even pretend to use the utensils. I just eat it with my bare hands.
"Becca, slow down. Just because you've been captured doesn't mean I'm going to let you eat like a non-talking wolf."
I pause, and look at her. "Why not?"
"Because, unlike me, I want you to have manners, so you don't end up where I am someday."
I grin, and eat slower, actually using the fork this time.
Alex smiles, brushes my hair back behind my ear. She wrinkles her nose. "You smell like Ogre."
"Thanks, I try," I answer brightly.
She laughs, then looks at me, assessing. "You're probably big enough to fit in some of my stuff. Here." She gets up and crosses to the wardrobe. She pulls out a shirt and pants, and I climb out of the bed, put my back to her so she can check the sizes. "They'll fit. Not perfectly, but well enough. I'm going to go talk to Lune. You change. I'll be back."
I nod, and she turns, starts to walk out the door.
"Alex?" I ask.
She turns. "Yes?"
"What are we going to do?"
She grins, excitement at the prospect of an adventure in her eyes. "We, sister dear, are going to show this Jason that when he messes with one Ride, he messes with both."
