XI.

The coroner said it was alcohol poisoning, Penny knew better.

She hadn't spoken to Sheldon in a day, tomorrow she was supposed to marry him. Break the curse once and for all, but for today, she couldn't stomach the thought of speaking to him. She had specifically asked him not to hurt Kurt, she knew Kurt deserved it, but he didn't deserve to die.

There was a knock on the door, Penny closed her eyes and felt the energy of the person behind the locked door, Bernadette. She flicked her wrist and the lock unlocked and the door opened. Bernadette stood there for a moment, "I'll never get over that." She mused.

Bernadette had become somewhat of a confidant these days, she had no one else to speak to. Especially since she told Amy off, the woman had disappeared. Bernadette listened and gave her unbiased advice.

"How you feeling, Penny?"

The taller blonde shrugged, "How am I supposed to feel? I asked Sheldon to not hurt him, and the next thing I know he's dead? How am I supposed to feel, Bernie? I'm getting used to everything still, everything is so new to me. I would think he would respect the one thing I asked of him."

Bernadette didn't reply, she just looked down into Penny's lap and noticed a sketchbook covered with a pair of eyes, blue in color. "His eyes, it's like they draw me in... it's all I can see when I close my own." She looks down and sees the same piercing blue orbs she dreams about, staring at her. "I can't stop drawing him."

The small blonde smiled sympathetically and placed a hand on Penny's arm, "We all have abilities, Penny. As a Werewolf, like Sheldon, he can read minds and he's the strongest from us all. I can heal just about anything and anyone, Raj and Howard are the fastest runners from us all, Leonard has the best hearing from us all, while Amy could see auras." Penny was astonished, she never thought Wolves had abilities too. She thought it was just Witches.

"So, what does this have to do with me?"

Sitting up straight Bernadette continued, "When you close your eyes, what do you see?"

"I see so many things, they play like movies. Sometimes it feels like it was in the past, and then sometimes it feels like the future." She shrugged her shoulders, "Exactly, that's your ability. Right now, it only works when you close your eyes because you haven't honed it yet, but you can see people's future or past and you keep drawing Sheldon's eyes because it's what keeps you grounded."

Penny was confused, "Grounded?"

"When you and Sheldon first met, it sparked the bond between the two of you. Of course, Sheldon knew who you were already, but you didn't. Your connection was begging to be bonded. You couldn't get him out of your mind because he is a big part of who you are. He's in a way, your neutralizer. He stabilises you. Now when you're in crisis, your body begs to be near him or to hear him. Haven't you realized, every time you draw him it's cause you're going through some inner turmoil?"

Penny took in her friends' words, and she felt like she couldn't breathe. It was true, every time she drew him, she was conflicted. The first time happened the night she met him and had that weird dream, she was so confused she found herself drawing him.

"So how do I hone my ability to see the future or past?"

Bernadette shrugged, "Honestly, I couldn't tell you. I just know it happens naturally, perhaps when you marry Sheldon tomorrow things will fall into place."

Penny nodded and found herself hugging Bernadette, "Thank you so much, Bernie." Bernadette smiled and hugged her back.

"One more thing, loosen up a bit when it comes to Sheldon. He has a heart of gold, and he's your mate it's in his blood to protect you. Above all else. Especially against a human. The moment he knew you were hurt by a human it was programmed in his brain to end your suffering, that's how it goes." She said softly, "My Howie, he's my mate, before we got married, he had found out another Wolf from a different pack was stalking me, and before I knew it, he took that Wolf down. Ended the problem before it started. It's in our man's blood to protect us any how they see fit."

Penny sighed deeply, "Thanks, Bernie."

"You've decided to forgive me?"

Penny wrapped her blanket around her tightly before standing in front of Sheldon. He sat relaxed in a large couch, facing a large brick fireplace. Behind the fireplace was a long wall with ceiling to floor windows, looking out to the woods. Sheldon looked up at her, his facial expression lax. He reached out and pulled her into his lap, she fell into it without complaints.

She tucked her head under his chin, "I forgave you a long time ago. I just didn't know how to tell you until I spoke to Bernadette."

He stroked her arm from over her blanket, "I have Bernie to thank for this then," he stated, he kissed the top of her head, "I'm sorry I upset you in the first place, Penelope."

She didn't reply.

"It just upsets me knowing someone had hurt you. I've waited so long to have you in my life again, I refuse to lose you to some bonehead. So, when I heard you were hurt, I had to do something about it. Despite you telling me no, I couldn't hear anything but his screams, I couldn't smell anything but his blood." He explained softly, "I'll do anything to keep you safe, my Penelope. My love for you and my need for you is so strong."

Penelope leaned up and kissed his jaw, "I love you too, Sheldon. But please, can we discuss these things in the future? We have to be a team if we're going to get married tomorrow—"

"Sheldon! I just got word from Stuart that Amy's on her way!" Sheldon looked at him abruptly, "What? Why? How does he know?"

Leonard ran a hand through his hair, "Stuart can smell her, she's moving quickly. He said she feels angry and is moving with a vengeance."

Sheldon placed Penny on the couch and stood to his full height, pissed that someone in his Pack was moving without his clearance.

"She's going to kill Randall," Penny spoke quietly.

The two men looked at her, "What?"

She nodded, "I can feel it. Stuart is guarding my brother…it's hazy, but I can see it—feel it. She's moving through the woods she's almost at Randall, maybe a half a day away. She'll make it before our wedding," she stated, "She's going to kill him, so I can die. She wants to separate Sheldon and me. She's angry."

Sheldon's face was pure fury, "Then we get married now. When that happens, we deal with Amy accordingly."

"Now?"

Sheldon took her hands, "Now. I love you, and you love me. What's stopping us? I won't let her stop us from being together. She needs to get over her feelings for me, I could never be with her. Especially with the way she's acting now."

Penny looked into his eyes and smiled, "Ok."

"Ok?"

She nodded, "Let's do it."
