“Clean off your hands before you go home,” Olivia told him. She licked the blood from the corner of her mouth, and smiled. “Wouldn't want your mom to see what you've been doing.”332Please respect copyright.PENANAwHfjlkud5F

Charlie nodded, his eyes on Carly. “What's going to happen to her?”332Please respect copyright.PENANAw2NZnkmjQH

Liam followed his gaze: Carly was sitting down, her back against the couch, eyes fixated on the destroyed body of Ash Terrence.332Please respect copyright.PENANA51vbge4NPn

“Hopefully her unfinished business is through,” Liam said quietly. “Then she can go home. We all can. Her final wish was that we helped her, and we have.”332Please respect copyright.PENANAq5wedJI96B

“You'll be free of us soon enough,” Olivia replied, walking over. She looked at her friend. “She's full of regret.”332Please respect copyright.PENANAalPeXJNatx
332Please respect copyright.PENANASC4HdOadlx
“Regret?” Charlie answered, and he couldn't believe it. “For what? He left her to die!”332Please respect copyright.PENANAcLprYTPF46
332Please respect copyright.PENANAFVJOxEQeyG
“Easy there,” Olivia said, rolling her eyes. “I don't think that goes away. She wanted to hurt him, because he deserved it. An eye for an eye, isn't that the saying?”332Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5E1HJbZoN

“A life for a life,” muttered Liam.332Please respect copyright.PENANAv0sHtKvpf3

“Basically.” Olivia frowned. “Hey, why do you look so sad? You got your revenge. You should be celebrating.”332Please respect copyright.PENANABNTotp1pSw

“I killed someone,” Carly answered, her voice hoarse.332Please respect copyright.PENANArn2pe1FRE9

“He left you for dead, and correct me if I'm wrong, but you did die. He ran away, without taking you to a hospital. With their care, you could have lived. As far as I'm concerned, and you should be too, Ash Terrence is a murderer.”332Please respect copyright.PENANASqSaqLtXlJ

It was Charlie who spoke. After hearing everything, he couldn't feel anything for the dead man, whose blood covered his hands. It was thick and warm, and to the untrained eye would have been mistaken for paint.332Please respect copyright.PENANApTVQzqPU7Y

They had caused more carnage than Charlie had ever seen in his life; Liam, taking charge, had changed back into a wolf and ripped out Ash's throat, killing him instantly, and spraying the rest of them with his blood.332Please respect copyright.PENANA7sVq3l4yZr

None of this appeared wrong to the human boy, Carly noticed, when Ash took his final, choking breath. Charlie had stood over the mangled corpse, taking it all in.332Please respect copyright.PENANAlhpqJkThyu

This worried Liam, too, as he watched the scene in his fur, his brain struggling to understand the strange expression on Charlie's face. But when he was in his skin again he heard a thought that rattled him.332Please respect copyright.PENANA2IUPneSjPe
