Gavin’s POVGavin held Susanna’s diary in his hands with disbelief. He ran his fingers down the pink exterior and traced his thumb across her name which was engraved in gold, cursive letters.He had to admit, he was a little sad that she had to die. He had some hope that he would be able to get her back from the Slayers, but now that hope was gone. “What are you waiting for?! Open it!” Roman growled; he was being impatient and practically panting. Gavin rolled his eyes and forced the lock on the diary open. He scanned the first couple of pages in wonder. She started this diary a few years ago and it seemed as if she’s been writing in it every day. Most of the entries were about Gavin and not to his surprise, she was mainly after him for his money and reputation. It seems as if a lot of her behavior were due to her neglectful parents. It was true that Susanna’s parents were incredibly neglectful. They never cared for Susan
Erin’s POV“You were right, Kelsey had the camera footage of the entire incident, and it clearly shows that Susanna broke her own neck,” Henry said to me as he came into the living room.I held a towel to my mouth because I couldn’t seem to stop coughing and whenever I coughed, blood came with it. I was growing pale, and I knew it before Henry said anything.“Erin… you aren’t looking so good,” he said with a frown, pressing the back of his hand to my forehead. “You’re burning up. We need to take you to a doctor. I think you might have consumed something bad.”“We need to get the footage to the press…” I breathed, trying to maintain my breath but it was growing more difficult with each passing moment.“I already had it sent,” Henry said, sitting down beside me. “Now, we need to take care of you…”“I just need some water,” I said, standing to my feet.As soon as I stood up, I regretted it because I grew incredibly dizz
Gavin’s POV“Don’t go anywhere near my sister,” Gavin texted back, fury was now boiling through his body.She was now threatening his younger sister and he wasn’t going to stand for that.“Then, I suggest you do exactly what I say. Meet me in our usual spot.”Gavin clutched his phone in his hand angrily; his knuckles grew white. Then, he shoved the phone into his pocket and stood to his feet. The thought of leaving Erin alone was unsettling. He didn’t want to chance to have anything terrible happening while he was gone.But if he didn’t go, then it would be his sister’s life on the line.He leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead before leaving the room. One of the nurses was walking by and spotted him.“Are you leaving?” She asked with a frown.“There’s some business I need to take care of. If anything happens, call me,” he ordered as he walked through the front doors.He needed to get
Erin’s POV“Try not to move too much!” The nurse said as I attempted to sit up in bed.My heart was racing at lightning speed against my ribcage, making me want to throw up. I wasn’t sure I would be able to hold in the contents of my stomach.Where the hell was Gavin? What were these rumors about spreading across the hospital? Was Gavin responsible for this?“Where’s…” My voice trailed off as sharp pain coursed through my throat, causing me to wince.“It’s probably better if you didn’t speak for right now,” the nurse said with a timid frown. “Let me get the doctor to take a look at you.”I didn’t want the doctor, I wanted to know where Henry and Gavin were. But when I tried to speak again, I was met with a round of painful coughs instead. Tears wedged in my eyes as pain coursed through my body.I lay my head back down and waited for the doctor to make an appearance.“Glad to see you are awake,” the doctor sa
Henry’s POV“What do you mean she’s the one who abuses you?” Henry asked, unsure if this man was being serious or not. How could a small woman the size of Judy hurt such a large and successful man?Even in the human world, it was a strange concept.Mr. Conrad rubbed his aching temple with his fingers and sighed in defeat.“She knows how to get to me,” Mr. Conrad said, shaking his head with dismay written all over his face. “But she’s insane. She’s always talking to herself, and her temper is out of control. I won’t fight her back and she takes advantage of that. All of her wounds are self-inflicted. She does it to make me look like the bad guy.”“Look, I really shouldn’t be discussing my client with—”“I know you don’t believe me,” Mr. Conrad said, interrupting Henry’s words. “But at least believe me when I say that Judy is not who she pretends to be. She’s not sweet and innocent. She’s a mastermind. She’s tried to kill me nu
Gavin’s POVGavin was about to return to the hospital to see Erin; the doctor had just called and told him that Erin was awake and requesting him.However, Henry called, delaying Gavin’s plans.“Do you know where Judy is? She’s not answering the phone I gave her,” Henry said as soon as Gavin answered the phone.“Last I checked she was at the packhouse with Jill. I’m not there currently. I’m about to head back to the hospital,” Gavin explained.“I think I made a mistake by letting Judy stay with you,” Henry said; there was something in his tone that Gavin didn’t recognize, and he was a bit worried about it.“Why do you say that?” Gavin asked, slowing his movements before he strays too far from his pack.“I had a visit with her husband today. Apparently, Judy is insane and she’s the one that beats him,” Henry explained.Gavin stifled a laugh; Judy was a small and seemingly kind woman. Whereas Mr. Conrad, her h
Erin’s POVThe entire hospital shook at the sound of the explosion. At least, I think it was an explosion. It happened so fast I didn’t have the time to wrap my head around anything. My ears were ringing, and my head was pounding in pain.As soon as we heard something exploding from outside, there was silence all throughout the hospital. The power flickered as well, and I could only imagine the damage that would do to the equipment around the hospital.After the silence, I heard the screaming.Everybody was terrified about what was going on, including the staff. However, the hospital security was trying to calm everybody down.“What was that?” I finally managed to ask as I peered over at Henry who was examining outside from the window.“I’m not sure. It sounded like something exploded…” he said slowly as he cracked open a window.He poked his head outside and gazed around before pulling his body back inside. There wa
Erin’s POV“A terrorist attack?” I gasped. “The Killers are attacking us?”Gavin was flipping through the notebook, and I couldn’t tell from his face what he was thinking, but I knew it wasn’t good whatever it was.“Gavin…?” I asked, stepping closer to him.He finally closed the book and looked at me.“They are going to attack the human world too,’ he said. “They put bomb dust everywhere. Apparently, somebody could produce dust out of thin air.”My heart fell into my stomach at the sound of his words.“We need to get Henry and get to the human world,” I said quickly, rushing back toward the halls where we left Henry.Gavin grabbed my arm, halting me.“Are you ever going to tell me why you keep running into danger like this?” Gavin asked.He wasn’t angry, but his tone was curious with a mix of worry. I hated worrying him but I couldn’t tell him the truth. Not now with everything going on. It
Erin’s POVA glimmer of a smile spread across Judy’s lips. I stood frozen in the center of a small town in the human world. It wasn’t far from the border into the werewolf world.Jill remained tied to a pole, struggling to get herself free. I could see the pure horror on her face and the tears forming in her eyes once she realized how serious this situation really was.Judy had the ability to form bomb dust from her fingertips and this entire town reeked of it. Jill reeked of it.There was enough bomb dust to explode most of the human world. All Judy had to do was flick a match and everything would turn to dust.I could use my abilities to wash the dust away, but not quickly enough and not without Judy noticing.I glanced around the town; there weren’t many people outside, but there were some passing by. However, they were frozen in place. Which meant Gavin used his abilities to freeze time without me even noticing.
