"Are we there yet?" Asked Maeve. She was sitting at the back of the truck while keeping Mr. Dunckles close to her chest. Denise has been driving for almost an hour now, their town is at least an hour and a half away from Scorch hills, the fest will not start until midnight so they have a lot of time to waste in their hands.
"No, sweetie, why don't you sleep a little?" Linda said to Maeve. She pursed her lips then formed a smile, Mave nodded at her. She slowly closed her eyes holding Mr. Dunckles tightly.
Alina was quiet, for some reason something about this trip does not sit right with her. At first, she thought that maybe this would be fun and keep them closer but that feeling she felt earlier was almost uncertain if there is anything good that would come out in this trip. She looked at Maeve who is fast asleep, this trip is for her. She worked so hard during junior high and managed to come on top, she deserves this.
All of a sudden, Alina'
"I- I am going back at the truck. Excuse me," Alina said hastily and turned her back. Maeve and her parents looked at each other. They nodded and went after Alina. They know that something is up and she does not want to talk about it, however, they are worried that she may be suffering from a trauma or what psychiatrists call them. Alina was running, her hearing, she did not realize at first because the music was the only thing she is hearing but all of a sudden when she turned her back, she can hear everything even if it's miles away from her. Aline covered her ears while running. She wants it to stop. “Stop! Please!” She said crying. She heard the footsteps of at least two persons coming after her. She looked behind her and saw Maeve with her parents. They were running and catching their breath. Why did they come after her? She could be dangerous, so why did they come after her? "Do not come near me!" Alina shouted. Maeve was shock
[end of the flashback] "She is in shock," Blade said to Kala. He turned his attention back to Solana who is not moving an inch nor blinking. "She must have been overwhelmed with the memories," Kala said then smirked. They have reached humanity's border and are on their way to where Solana killed the Mcguire's. Eventually, Solana will give in to Kala's wishes. It would be a waste of talent if he kills Solana so he will put her up to a test to see whether or not she can be used, and used, Kala meant manipulated. The moment they entered Scorch Hills, Kala cannot help but smirk so widely. If he managed to manipulate Solana into his doings, then he will not just have fourteen supernatural under his bidding, he will have fifteen. "Are we there yet?" Kala asked. The chauffeur nodded. They parked at the same place where the incident happened, the incident where the Mcguire's were killed by none other than, Solana Velvela. Kala
"What are you still doing here?" Illac asked Athalia. He was surprised to know that she is still here. He thought that she had come with Kala when he left after getting Solana. "I still have a business here," Athalia said that made Illac's forehead furrowed. "You no longer have business here, Thalia," Illac said firmly. Athalia refused to do so, she told him that she has to know something and in order to gain that knowledge, she needs to stay. "Look, Thalia, I cannot have you here inside for any longer. I now have my hands full in finding where the Hendrix went, so I need you to go back to the humanity's border, right now!" 'Hendrix huh, I totally forgot about him...' Athalia said to herself. She pursed his lips and stood up paving her way towards Illac to face him head-on. "Hendrix is a nobody, Dad did not even ask for him, besides, he is probably dead by now," Athalia said. Illac has to admit it, Hendrix is inde
"Shit, this is bad," Juls said. He was scouting the area, they had to move away from Solana's Clan temple because of what Foire did. They watched it, when he exposed Solana they were there but they could not do a single thing to stop it. They also watch Blair making her shift against her will, it was painful and too aggravating to watch. Nerissa and Kiera almost snapped, thankfully Damian was there to calm Kiera down. Juls just have to hold Nerissa's hands, they thought that Foire will stop after revealing Solana's identity but no. He also revealed about her pack, and now half the betas even the other supernatural creatures are after them, and God knows the reason why. "Why? What happened?" Nerissa asked looking at Juls. Damian and Kiera't attention also turned to him, he was gasping for air, who is he going to say that half the border is after them and their Alpha? There is no better way in saying it. "Foire. He revealed about us, about Solana's pack," J
Kiera and Damian looked at each other. Juls is confused as well, especially Nerissa. The man right before their eyes is claiming himself to be one of Solana's betas which they are not buying. Solana would not hide something like that, Nerissa knows that much. However, it does beg the question 'Would Solana hide something like this?' "What did you say your name was again?" Nerissa asked. Ezra gasped because she spoke all of a sudden. 'Man, he is lame,' said Juls inside his head. He pursed his lips then put his hands inside his pockets. He does not like him, he looks like he is up to something, Kiera's danger sensor worked on him meaning to say, he is a danger towards them or if he brought a danger towards them. "Ezra, I am Ezra. One of Solana's betas," Ezra said once again. Nerissa does not know what to say, is he really Solana's beta? If each and every word he is saying ti the truth, then how many secrets does Solana have keeping from her?
"I got to say, I thought you will not be able to figure it out," Lorcan said smirking. "Why are you here, Lorcan?" Nerissa asked. "Why, you do not know? Foire and Illac are having a little brother fight over who should lead the border," he said that shocked all four of them. They were all thinking that maybe it was Illac's idea to reveal Solana's identity since he could have a great influence over his brother, but if they are in a war. Then it is impossible for him to give Foire orders. "Answer my question before you blabber about someone else's business. Why are you here?" Nerissa asked again. "Illac asked me to go and meet this Solana's little pack of werewolf and Azazel's lovely daughter," he said in a teasingly kind of way. What does Illac want with them? "Nerissa," Juls warned her. She shrugged her shoulders and faced Lorcan while looking at him straight in the eyes. "What does Illac want with us?"&nb
"Lorcan is back," Blair said to Foire. He did not look at her and just nodded. The thirteen dinners are just two nights away, a lot can happen but right now, he wanted to celebrate that he was able to capture the heart of many supernatural that resides on the border. He even ordered them to go off and kill Solana's betas, but to never touch the necromancer and they followed every word he said. "He is sure to be on Illac's side," Foire said pursing his lips. Foire and Lorcan once had a fight over Illac. It is quite a mess really, Foire was beaten up badly, he almost died if Illac had never interfered in their childish fight. The cause of that fight was because Lorcan overheard Foire that Illac is not suited to be a king, this was years ago back when Azazel was the one who leads the border. Overall, Lorcan is the epitome of what loyalty is, he will never leave Illac's side even if it is going down. "The thirteen crowns, surely most of them will be on Illac'
"I trust your decision, Nerissa, but is there any other reason why you agreed with the truce?" Juls asked. Nerissa looked at them, of course, they need to know. Lorcan and Illac left already, they even gave them a place to stay away from the supernaturals who are after their lives. "Yeah, we need to know if there is another reason why," Damian agreed to what Juls said. Nerissa sighed. She took a sit then pursed her lips before saying anything. "Illac is the safest bet," Nerissa said. Or at least, that is what she thinks when she weighed the danger between Illac and her father. "If I did not agree with that truce, we will have to ask for Azazel's assistance, which is riskier over anything. I had to settle it with Illac because I would not want to risk it asking for my father's forgiveness and fail," she said. Based on what they heard, it does seem that Illac is the safest bet. They also would not want Nerissa to ask for Azazel's forgiveness w
