Nate stared at the harsh line. "What is it?" He slowly began to peel the large bandaid away.
My face set in resolve and burn of the newly pulled skin. When the bandaid was off both sets of eyes flew wide to mine.
I didn't even try to pull my hand back. It was rock solid where it was. "It's fine!"
Adam seriously growled. "You keep saying that. You are still lying!"
I rolled my eyes. "No, look. It's okay. I know it looks bad, but it's always what my bee stings look like. Alright?" I glanced down to the irritated bump in the center with the series of violet lines coming from the inner point. The lines shot out in straight angles like a circuit board. "It's just an allergic reaction."
Nate's eyes folded me with power. "This is not just an allergic reaction, Elise. It looks like..." he paused looking at Adam and Adam nodded his silent thought, "it looks like wolfsbane poisoning."
A strong punch to the gut. I closed my eyes in defeat. That's exactly what it was.
