“Yes.” She was saying a lot of words and I was still coming out of my drunken stupor, but everything she said seemed accurate.
“What if?” The bartender was pacing. “Oh… no… no… no. This can’t be good.”
“What? What is it?”
She stopped pacing and looked me dead in the eyes, slamming her hands on the counter. “You cannot find Snow and kill her. The dark Queen cannot have her liver and heart.”
“Why not?” What did she know I didn’t? “Tell me.”
She shook her head. “Not yet. I need to make sure.”
“Make sure of what?”
“You need to leave.”
“But.”
“Now. Leave. You can’t be here. I can’t be seen with you. The Queen can’t know you’ve been here.”
“The Queen knows you?”
“Leave! Out!” I heard the whistling and in a second I felt my turning and walking towards the exit.
Once I got outside, it was like the trance had been lifted, but I instinctively grabbed my head to make sure it was still attached to my body. Satisfied, I patted my leg, calling the dog over, and made my way to the woods. I need to get back home.
“What are we going to do, dog?”
She looked up at me with the eyes of a wise person before she barked and ran off.
“Don’t leave me!” I shouted after her.
A moment later, I heard her barking wildly like she was trying to tell me something. I found her on the edge of the woods, standing over a wild boar.
She had managed to catch a boar twice her size.
As if sensing my needs, she gave me an answer to the question.
I was going to kill the boar and take its heart and liver back to the Queen.

Gage - Hunt for the Purple Mangor
FUCK!
I pounded my fist into the bed.
An hour! I lasted a bloody hour.
The Geminis were great! Fantastic! But I got home, and she was sitting outside. At first I thought she was waiting for us, then realized she wasn’t and I didn’t know what bothered me more.
And the way she pushed back! The way she always pushes back.
I hit the pillow, this time sending feathers flying in my room.
She kissed me. No fear. Just kissed me. I could still feel the softness of her lips just to the side of mine. She knew what she was doing.
And then now! Her screams woke me from my restless sleep and like a dummy I went to check on her, only to find fucking Enzo in her bed.
