Chapter 115 - Cy's Plans
For two days, Cy and his people had been lurking around Ed's cottage to get a hold of Adrianna. However, there was no activity. There was no noise and no people coming in and out. It was very quiet. He was beginning to get frustrated. He couldn't go anywhere, because Isidorus had also put a seal on his palm, allowing Isidorus to know about his exact location at all times.
Cy sent his men in other directions to find out about Adrianna's whereabouts. It was only on the third day that one of them came back with the news that she had been married to Dmitri and is now the luna of the werewolves.
Annoyed at how he was played, the first thing Cy did was to destroy Ed's cottage out of frustration and defeat. The entire cottage was brought down with one lighting strike and the once small and cozy cottage looked as though a typhoon had passed through it.
Cy thought he had formulated his plans carefully. He thought that it would be extremely easy to take down a girl who was only a half witch. She wouldn't even know how to use her magic skills properly. Ever since Isidorus had asked him to get their queen back to the wizard kingdom, he had been looking forward to meeting her and eliminating her. What he had never expected was the fact that Isidorus would send him on a wild goose chase. He cursed himself as soon he realized that Isidorus must have done this on purpose.
Along with his men, he left for the Blue Moon Pack territory.

It was all a new experience for Fleur. Ever since she had come to this world, she had never had a dull moment. Right before she had come to meet up with Liam for the quest, she had taken a look at what the girls wore when travelling and had changed into a pair of shorts, a white shirt, a hat, and gumboots. Liam was impressed by the way she looked. He hoped that he would be comfortable enough for her.
They must have travelled for a long time when Liam became worried that Fleur may be tired. He would occasionally slow down just to check whether she had to rest or not, but she didn't show any signs of tiredness. Finally, they all stopped to take a break near a creek in the afternoon. Fleur got down from Liam's back and went to wash her face with fresh water. The wolves were hungry and decided to hunt for food. Five of them went to hunt, but they quickly returned.
One of them excitedly said, "There's a beautiful village only five minutes from here. We can all just go there and have our lunch."
Liam frowned. He had never heard of any village there.
Fleur knew that her team had arranged the setting. Liam looked at Fleur and said, "Would you like to go there?" If she had declined, he wouldn't have gone there.
"Yeah sure, let's go!" she replied. And so they all went to the village. Liam was pleasantly surprised as it seemed as though everyone in the village had been waiting for them. As soon as they entered the village, they were greeted by the people and were even ushered into a huge dining area where a large number of dishes were being served. It was amazing and suspicious at the same time. Fleur went to pick a plate and eat food before Liam could even react. Liam followed her and said, "This is very strange. Who are these people?"
"I think they are gypsies," she replied.
"There are no gypsies in this area!" he replied, bewildered.
All of a sudden, a man brushed by him and said, "Yes, we are gypsies!"
"Just eat the food for now and then let's go!" said Fleur, shaking her head in irritation because her team had 'overdone' everything.
Dazed, Liam picked up a plate. It was just too good to be true; it was exotic.
Others in Liam's team were having the best time of their life.
As soon as they finished eating, Fleur urged Liam to resume with the journey. She was the last one to leave and with her hand gestured the 'gypsies' to wind up soon by making a round sign with her hand up in the air.

In the morning the next day, Adrianna woke up to find that Dmitri wasn't there. She rubbed her eyes and went out of the cave, getting soaked by the waterfall. She found Dmitri catching fish in the pool with the help of a pointed stick. She smiled and walked over to him.
"Teach me," she said. The next hour was spent teaching her all the techniques for catching fish. When they had caught quite a few, Dmitri took them inside the cave, leaving Adrianna outside.
When he came out, she was nowhere to be seen. Panicked, he tried to communicate with her mentally, but she didn't pick up his signal. He searched for her around and then, exasperated, he looked up. She was standing right at the edge of the cliff, ready to dive in. She smiled as he looked up at her. She signaled for him to come up and he was there within a few seconds.
As soon as he was there, Adrianna dived into the pool. Dmitri followed her. There was a huge splash as both of them entered the water. Dmitri caught Adrianna's waist inside the water and turned her to face him.
