Lily's mother was feeling sad and worried one afternoon thinking about her daughter who had been missing for over a month.She had heard some noises coming from Don's room and because everyone else wasn't around, she decided to go check herself. She found Don looking very sad and thinking about doing something very drastic. Don's eyes showed pain, and his face looked full of sadness as he brought a small knife to his neck. He was kneeling facing the mirror, and his cheeks were soaked with tears.Rebekah gasped and rushed in.."Don, no!" Rebekah shouted, her voice shaking with strong feelings. "What do you think you're doing?""Let me do this! There's nothing worth living for again. Let me." He said and pressed the knife to his diaphragm but Rebekah held her hands out."This won't solve anything, Don. This isn't the way, please don't do this.""It's worse…. it's worse here… maybe it will be better there.." Don's eyes ran more tears down his cheeks as his hands shook with fear."I under
The dry leaves of the oak trees blew by the empty canals. The atmosphere was chiller than usual. All the members of the grove and pack gathered together to say their final goodbyes to Rex, their respected and beloved leader. As everyone in the main pack felt sad, the air felt heavy with sadness, and the only sounds were the soft movement of leaves and occasional sniffling from people crying.Tyler was there too, but he looked very resolute and calm, which was unusual for him in that situation. He didn't cry, as if he couldn't believe what had happened and couldn't show his feelings.Henry and Rebekah stood next to each other, their faces filled with sadness, as they watched what was happening. They held hands tightly, finding comfort in their shared pain. They looked at Tyler, who stood still and seemed to have no emotions. They were worried and exchanged a look, understanding how much he was grieving. They noticed how much Tyler was hurting, and they thought his calm appearance sho
Audrey, feeling very sad about being finally rejected by the love of her life, turned to her friend Tiana for comfort. They found a quiet spot in the grove to talk about Audrey's daring plan to run away.Tiana greeted Audrey with a friendly smile, not knowing that Audrey was about to leave and that she was going through a difficult time.Audrey glanced around, ensuring that no prying eyes or listening ears were nearby. Taking a deep breath, she began, her voice tinged with urgency, "Tiana, we need to talk. It's about the plan."Tiana's smile faded slightly, replaced with a curious expression. "What's going on, Audrey? Is something wrong?"Audrey hesitated for a moment, her eyes filled with guilt. "I... I've made a decision. I can't stay here any longer. I have to leave, Tiana."Tiana's eyes widened in surprise and her voice was laced with concern. "Leave? But Audrey, what about the pack? What about Tyler? We were supposed to help them."On the mention of Tyler, her face squeezed. Audr
The moonlight made the quiet grove look magical. Tiana, who was hidden in the dark, moved quietly and confidently through the shadows. She felt both excited and scared as her heart raced in her chest. She was going towards Lily's father's study room.Tiana recollected everything Audrey told her. Collect the journal, bring it to her and everything will be fine. She knew she did trust Audrey blindly but she did so because Audrey was the only person she felt close to in the entire pack. After her best friend died in an home accident they were both involved in 5 years ago, Audrey was the one who got closer to her and made her feel human again despite the huge scars she retained on her leg and arms.She was close to Lily before but felt the latter got too full of herself because Tyler, who was also her first crush fell for Lily, and even Jax, her second crush and "love of her life", couldn't leave Lily's side. Lily got everything she wanted and slowly, her disinterest in Lily turned to pur
I felt the cold, hard chains that held me start to loosen a little as a vampire unchained me. One also did the same for Adrian who was a feet away from me. He told us we were being given a short break. It was then I realised we were back in the vampires cave. My body was weak but I managed to crawl to Adrian's side.My hands were shaking as I reached out to touch Adrian's tired and bruised body. It made me so sad to see him so exhausted and lifeless. He was breathing shallowly, and his once lively eyes looked really tired.I pulled him close and hugged him tightly, finding comfort in our embrace. Everything else around us disappeared, and for a brief moment, it was just the two of us, holding onto each other desperately. I rested my cheek against his chest and felt his weak heartbeat, a fragile reminder of the strong spirit he had inside. Tears streamed down my cheeks as I kept on silently apologising to him for what he had to go through, because of me - yes, it was my fault. This wa
Sarah and Aunt Belinda, after days of trekking, finally arrived at the grove. Looking tired, they went towards the area where Lily's parents and the elders had gathered. The atmosphere was tense, and people present were already talking. As they got closer to the high table, people couldn't help but look at them intently, hoping for any news.Lily's mother stood up and couldn't believe her eyes when she saw Sarah and Aunt Belinda coming. "Is it true?" she asked, her voice shaking with both hope and fear. "Is Lily really alive?"Sarah nodded, speaking with a sense of relief and urgency. "Yes, she's alive," she confirmed. "We found proof that she's here and met someone who saw her."Aunt Belinda, with tears welling up in her eyes, said, "We followed the path and found evidence of a fight, footprints, and other clues that suggest she was taken by the vampires. But we have reasons to believe she's still alive."Lily's father stood up, with hope and worry on his face, and stepped closer, "P
The urgent call for action resonated through the grove as Lily's father swiftly organized another search party. Determined to rescue his beloved daughter, a group of skilled warriors gathered, their faces etched with determination and concern. Rebekah, her eyes filled with hope and fear, looked on as they prepared to venture into the forests.As the search party made their final preparations, Henry addressed them with his authoritative voice. "You must find my daughter," he proclaimed, his voice carrying the weight of their collective purpose. "She's counting on us, and we won't let her down. Stay vigilant, trust in your training, and bring her back safely."The warriors nodded in agreement, their expressions resolute and unwavering. They tightened their grip on their weapons, ready to face whatever setbacks lay ahead. As they prepared to depart, Rebekah stepped forward, her voice filled with gratitude and concern. "Please, bring her back to us," she implored, her eyes welling with te
In the midst of the destruction caused by the bomb explosion, the grove came together, determined to find out who was responsible. Henry implored the surviving warriors to take the injured ones in to be treated of their wounds and the others, to take charge of the investigation, carefully searching the area for any clues or evidence that could help identify the person behind the attack.As they searched through the wreckage, their senses alert, a shadowy figure moved stealthily through the darkness, like a predator on the prowl. They didn't know a vampire had taken advantage of the chaos to infiltrate their ranks.Silently, the vampire slipped through the area, scanning his surroundings. He had a clear goal in mind—to find the ancient journal that contained powerful secrets. With the journal in his possession, he believed he could please his master and his people could gain an advantage over the werewolves. So, he believed but he never really knew why he was sent to steal. Well, it d
