MasukThe two looked at me, surprised by my conclusion. I could see the wheels in their heads turning as they tried to think up other scenarios that would explain the current cluster fuck that this pack was facing. It was when Camille sighed in surrender that I knew they had given up.“Okay so maybe you are right.” She said, “But again I say only maybe. Because all that you said is still a far stretch.”“It is not a far stretch.” I shook my head, “It is really the only plausible explanation we have.” “Okay no, it is not the only plausible explanation. It is the only one that we can think of right now.” Sarah said.“Okay alright then.” I concurred.“We’ll just have to think of another possibility,” Camille said.“But what other thing could explain what happened?” Sarah said with a small sigh.“I don’t know.” I said, “But whatever you come up with, I hope it is not as far-fetched as mine.”“Well, I hope so as well.” Camille nodded solemnly.“Anyways, all we can do now is wait.” Sarah added,
It was one thing after another with this lot, I thought to myself with a small chuckle.“Well then, how is he?” I asked, warily watching as Camille's face twisted into a small frown. Though she had claimed she had no issues with Sarah visiting him, it must not have been easy for her now to hear that the guy who very nearly killed her was up and about.“He seems to be okay.” She replied, head down as she squeezed her hands worriedly, “Or as okay as can be expected. He is still not allowed to get up, though, but the doctors expect that he will make a full recovery.” Her lips curled into a faint smile, like she was not even aware she was smiling, “Heck, the doctors said it was a miracle that he even survived.”“Guess I will be seeing more of him soon then,” I commented.“Yeah,” She looked up, “I gave him an update on how things were in the pack now and he was all too eager to get into training and help out.”“How honorable of him,” Camille said icily.Sarah took a deep breath and faced C
“Guys!” Camille rushed into the room in a flurry, her chest heaving from how breathless she was. Our heads raised in unison in her direction: mine from the video drill I was watching on my phone, and Sarah’s from the book she was reading.“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Sarah asked, closing the book and placing it on her bedside table.“Oh, I am okay but I don’t know if we, as a whole, will be okay for much longer.” She replied, her tone vague.“What makes you say that?” I asked her, perplexed.“Guess what I heard today during one of my art tours?” She asked.Her art tours. It can be said that some good came from the night of the first attack. Camille’s works were adored, and now she had gotten different gallery deals that wanted to showcase her art. It was what contributed to us not seeing her as often as we did. I glanced over at Sarah, and suddenly I felt worried about her. Camille was busy with her art, and I was busy with training. How exactly and what exactly was Sarah doing to ke
LILLIANA’S POVThe bang echoed through the field. That’s right, I was in a field now. Killian didn’t trust that I wouldn’t accidentally shoot the people in the shooting range so we came here instead. Training was a bitch. And it seemed he was even more determined than ever.“You’re missing the target again. I thought you were getting better at this.” He said from behind me, arms crossed.“Well, I guess you thought wrong then.” I shrugged, placing the gun back on the table next to me, “I don’t think shooting is really my style.”“You’d be wise to make it your style, or else you might turn up dead when the time comes.” He replied casually.“Who exactly are we fighting?” I asked, turning to face him.The sun was behind us, shining brightly on him, accentuating his features and his hooded eyes which appeared dark against the ethereal glow the light was providing him.“We’ve been training for weeks on end, I hardly have time for myself or to even see my friends so I think it is only right
I sat back in the chair, suddenly feeling tired. I thought hearing his apology would make a difference, but it didn’t; it only made me feel a sudden emptiness. Jordan and I were close, or rather, we used to be, but now it wasn't like that anymore. In fact, it was starting to feel as though the things we went through at the Crescent Moon pack meant absolutely nothing to us.“You were my rock,” I spoke up.“I-”“Let me speak.” I interrupted, a hard look on my face, “We went through so much, like you have pointed out, we only ever had each other. Everything we faced, everything they did to us. They made us lab rats, had us fight each other, but we managed to escape. And it didn’t take months for you to just throw that all away when we got here. Why?” I asked. The question that had been sitting on the tip of my tongue for the longest time ever. Why did he think it was all right for him to have just let me go, act like he never knew me, and then even go as far as to almost kill me?“When w
SARAH’S POVLilliana’s words about Jordan brought me some small comfort, but it didn’t really do anything to stop my worrying. Jordan, you have to hurry and wake up. I thought to myself. Despite all my ignoring him and refusing all his attempts to talk to me, it took him almost dying for me to realize that we had a lot of things that were left unsaid. I was in my room, languishing on my bed. I was exhausted but it wasn’t the physical kind. I couldn’t bring myself to stand up and return to the hospital like I usually did. It felt like I was stuck here on my bed and that it was going to swallow me up. My eyes slowly closed, and right when I was about to give in to sleep, my phone rang. A loud trilling sound that immediately had me darting up from my bed to reach for it.“Hello?” I said, my voice slightly groggy. “Hello, this is Sarah right?” A somewhat familiar voice asked.“Uh yes, this is she. Who’s asking?” I replied.“This is nurse Mabel.” The person said, Suddenly, I wasn’t so asl
