Wandering the book stacks, Imogen trailed her fingers along the weathered spines, her eyes fixed straight ahead. This was a sentimental venture, she inwardly chided herself, indulgent and foolish and stank of self pity. She should be out there hunting or retraining her body or something other than spending time among the dusty tomes. The further back she went, the more names she recognised - vampires, fae, even a couple wolves who turned out to be not so bad. She had no idea if they had escaped, if they were still alive or if the forest had swallowed them up like so many others.
Her fingers passed over a light blue cover and paused. Here was the name she was seeking. Tugging it out, she ignored the way the thin chains rattled and flipped it open, eyes scanning the yellowed pages. Imogen smiled softly as she read the short story of Hazel, the familiar tales a haunting soundtrack to her time spent deep in the earth. The approaching footsteps and the comforting sound of a healthy heart had her closing the book with a snap. “What is it?” she said sharply.
