I saw something twitch in his eyes, something he wanted to cover up but couldn’t.”Answer me!” I screamed again and pounded at his chest but James just stood there, giving me no reaction, as stable as a mountain wall. ”Avery,” Alex's voice sounded behind me but it was like he was further away. His voice was canceled out but I still heard the softness.”No!” I screamed and shot my hand out to silence him. ”Avery?” I heard other voices now but I couldn't place them, they were there, someone else was there but I didn't take my eyes off James to see who it was.”You were supposed to love me,” I said through gritted teeth and tears.”You were supposed to be my equal, the man who was created for me. You were supposed to care for me and I for you. We were supposed to go through hardships together and solve all our problems together but you chose to shun me instead. Now you’re here, threatening my friend who has done nothing but shown you respect, and for what?” I asked, the words were fall

~Avery~My eyes never left his. I couldn't lift my hand, I couldn't tell if it was fear or pain, or maybe the pain medication that made me immobile.Chase took a step forward and I pushed myself down onto the mattress. Warning clocks rang in my head and my breathing picked up speed rapidly.”Calm down,” He said softly and reached out with one hand while the other was held up in the air. He grabbed the glass and slowly brought I to me, the straw touched against my lips and his other hand came around my head as he lifted it up so that I could drink. I took small sips, every gulp of water hurt more than the other but I felt how it eased my dry throat. He removed his hand and my head fell down on the mattress slowly.Why was he so caring?”Are you here to kill me?” I asked him quietly. I should've screamed, I should've woken up Alex and James but I couldn’t, I didn’t. I wanted answers. He was, after all, my brother. ”Do you really think I would kill my own sister?” He asked me, I s

~Avery~We were back in James's office, Alex and James paced around for a good ten minutes whilst the guard had taken Damien to get some clothes. ”You had us fucking worried to death,” Alex said and raked a hand through his messy hair. They were both newly awake.”How did we not hear you leave?” James asked as he stopped pacing. I shrugged my shoulder. ”Chase was here with a wizard, an old man. I think he had you all under a spell, Chase told me you wouldn't wake up if I moved or even if I screamed.” ”Told you? He was in the room?” ”Yes, I went with him,” I said and raised my head. Both guys stared at me in shock but Jackson was sitting with his head buried in his hands.”You’re an idiot. You know that?” Jackson said and rose his head. I rolled my eyes. ”He said there was a way for me to save you. All of you,” I said and looked between the three of them. ”Had someone said that to you, that there was a way to save everyone you love, wouldn't you have done it?” I asked them even

~Amber~We walked after the two vampires and passed by the big main house, and two not much smaller houses where I was guessing other families lived. We kept walking until we came up to a two-story house with a wrap-around porch. If I didn't know what actually went on in there, I'd say this was an ideal house with the porch, the big windows and the wicker look.The bigger vampire walked up to the porch and knocked on the door. I could hear music and conversation, the lights were on and people were laughing. The door opened up and a lean man stood inside. The second he saw us, he was in front of me. ”Werewolves,” he snarled with a distasteful expression on his face. ”You know, you guys are really good at stating the obvious,” Lydia said and cleared her throat. I slowly turned my head and saw Lydia staring at everyone with a bored expression on her face. Her hand had stopped shaking and her confidence had reappeared. I couldn't decide whether that was a good thing or a bad one. ”

~Amber~Raven followed after Lydia, and I and Malia were close behind. We ran to the car that was still parked where we had left it. I opened the backseat and started searching my bag for my phone. As soon as I found it, I picked it up but was met with a black screen that wouldn't light up. ”Fuck!” I screamed and tossed the phone against a tree, shattering it. ”Someone give me their phone!” I yelled and held out my shaking hand. Lydia placed her phone in my hand and I quickly dialed James’s number. We got in the car, Raven behind the wheel, me and Malia in the back, and Lydia next to Raven.’ Hey, is everything okay?’ He said as he answered. ’ James, it’s Amber. The war has already started, everything is happening now!’The line went silent, and then an exhale was heard from James. ’I know’ He said and my heart sank.’What’s happening?’ ’Avery is in the hospital. The baby is dying. Alex has gathered the warriors and there have already been breaches on every end of the border,
