I was being draged against the ground my blood trailing my path against the ground. My back was now bleeding and burnt, all the village people were starring at me in pity and concern as I was dragged across rocks and dirt. I heard a door slam open and then there was more pain as I rolled down the stairs and hit the cell bars.

Unwrapping my self from my ball of pain I looked and saw 4 guards 2 unnamed guards laughed and shoved me into my cell and slammed the door. The other two looked concerned and a bit angry as they guarded the stairs staying in position.

Then there was yelling as I tried to sit up but ended up on the floor "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED! SHE IS BLEEDING AND JUST CAME TUMBLING DOWN THE STAIRS!" Yelled a very angry Mathew. "Shhhhh I just need peace and quiet" I said trying to soothe my aching head.

The guards who hurt me left and I crawled over to my bed and sat against it. I heard the cell door opening and rushed footsteps coming closer towards me. I felt myself being picked up and placed on the bed, me being the independent one I am I kicked them off of me and sat up. They tried to come closer but I didn't let them.

I looked at my arms and body and started to feel weak again blood had covered my clothes and burns engulfed my arms. My eyes began to get heavy but before I lost consciousness I whispered "Luka.... Steel...." Then everything faded to black.

Luka's. P.O.V

I got back to bed after meeting with Detrys for the first time in 12 years. I lay there still till I fall asleep.

I woke up later that day and started doing some art out the front of the house. After awhile I went to go get food but there was a commotion on the way to the merchant. I looked over to what was happening and it was Demi bloodied, burnt and being dragged across the ground. It was sickening to say the least. To see blood trail behind her, everyone who witnessed this all had a look of pity or horror on their face.

I quickly rushed to my house and grabbed items I needed to help her wounds. I grabbed my snow leopard fur blanket and started to make a potion in the kettle I had, this potion was one used to heal the bodies wounds instantly but if it was steel burns it had to be a tier 10 potion since it was for switchers and had to be for the special blood our kind has.

I grabbed rosemary, mint, honey, blueberries, Almond milk and dried rose petals. This is the normal concoction if the tier 10 was used on unneeded wounds it would create over growth and extra tissue on the skin. Just as I set the liquid to brew there was a knock on the door.

I went to the door and opened it up outside was Samuel the guard I looked at him questioningly and he said "that girl said your name and steel so what's the go with th- HEY come back I'm not finished!" I ran off before he finished. I heard him say steel. STEEL! We need a tier 10 potion after all, to make it more potent you have to add any sort of herbal tea and dried tree sap.

I added them to the liquid and stirred it making sure the potion was mixed. I heard footsteps come up behind me but i kept working. "So are you going to explain or not? Also isn't this a strong burn potion? I was there and there was no way she could have gotten burnt." Rambled a confused Samuel. "Shut it I am trying to make the potion correctly so if you can stand back and let me do this right!" I shut him up and continued to look for one last thing. "AHUH!" I yelled as I threw open a draw, finding a switcher blade. These blades were used in ritual like events to get the pure essence of switcher blood it held the tribe together as there was only one blade. One blade, one tribe. It was one of the things I found in the ashes and ruble of where I used to live.

I emptied the substance from the kettle into an empty flask and put a plug in the top to stop and liquid from spilling. I grabbed the snow leopard skin, tier 10 potion and ritual blade. I rushed out of the house and towards the prison with Samuel in tow. I flung open the door, raced down the steps and rushed over to Detrys. She curled herself into a ball and put her hand out. I took notice she already knew what to do so I flung the blanket over her and opened the flask, grabbing the blade from the incrypted sheathe and slit the end of her pointer finger I heard yells of protest behind me but ignored it and kept doing what was needed.

A drop of blood slid to the tip of her finger and dropped into the flask, I pushed her arm under the snow leopard skin and made sure she was fully covered by the skin. I poured the liquid over the skin and then chanted "heal and revive for our God Atlanta" I saw wisps of light appear as they danced around. I closed my eyes and waited for the glowing to stop, I opened my eyes and waited for Detrys to come out from under the skin.

There was movement from under the skin. She groaned, stretched underneath the skin, gasped and fell off of the stone bed onto the floor. The skin was no longer covering her and she was now in half switch with her ears and tail out. Detrys blinked a couple of times and stretched again, she looked around tiredly confused to why everyone was shocked then her eyes landed on me. She stared at me a couple of seconds to register what was happening then yelled "WHY ARE YOUR HORNS OUT!?*feels the top of her head* WHY ARE MY EARS OUT!?"

I quickly put my hand over her mouth so she would be quieter. Then she looked behind us and saw the other 4 people in their room Lily, Mathew, Samuel and Alex all with the look of horror and shock on their faces.
