Varcolac's plan to capture Eva had been successful, and Ragnar and Sven had tossed her to the back of the den, where she now laid unconscious. Isabelle sat at the entrance of the den, Var had assigned her to guard their "guest of honor", as he put it. She now glanced over her shoulder, got up and walked over to the unconscious Eva, looked at her, and slightly tilted her head.
- Why do you look so familiar...? Where have I seen you before? Isabelle thought quietly in her mind, and raised an eyebrow. But suddenly, Eva moved her head slightly, and let out a quiet groan, which indicated that she was coming to. Isabelle startled a bit, took a step back and curiously watched as Eva opened her eyes.
- What the... where am I? she asked quietly with raised brows, still feeling pretty fuzzy and her vision was still blurry, and her body still aching.
- You're safe - for now, Isabelle spoke, now assuming a more serious tone and expression. Hearing a voice, Eva lifted her head, and couldn't believe her eyes: Her thought to be dead-sister was right there, standing in front of her.
- Isabelle...? You... you're alive! I knew it! she exclaimed, and Isabelle frowned her brows.
- Listen, I don't know who you think I am, but I know exactly who you are, Isabelle said with a raised brow.
- You do? Eva asked with a hopeful tone and a small smile formed to her face.
- Yes. You're that wolf who's been walking around spreading all those lies about uncle Var, Isabelle said, her voice growing into an angrier tone, and Eva raised her brows, confused.
- Lies? Uncle...? Belle, listen, she began, and struggled herself on her feet, grunting slightly, and looked at her.
- Varcolac is not your uncle, he's not even related to you. He kidnapped you from us when we were just little pups! For years, we thought you were dead, Eva spoke with raised brows, and continued:
- You have to believe me, Belle, I'm your sister, Eva.
Isabelle squinted her eyes, and scoffed.
- I don't have any siblings, uncle Var took me in when my parents died, and let me tell you, he's been very good to me, she said, starting to sound very angry and frustrated.
- He's been lying to you, don't you see?! Eva tried to reason with her, but only got an angry growl in response.
- No! You're the liar here! Just like uncle Var warned me you would be, Belle growled angrily, and turned her back to Eva, glancing over her shoulder.
- I'm going to go get him. Don't try to escape - I don't want to have to hurt you, she said with a raised brow, and left the den. Eva sighed, shaking her head and looking down to her paws.
- Oh, Belle... she sighed, with a sad tone, and sat down, sniffed quietly and wiped her eye with her paw. She was finally reunited with her sister - but had she lost her for good?
