Swift Grace (#2 in the Golden series)

Chapter Five: Mourning

I groan as I sit up, what the hell happened i think to myself, hopping out of bed, the memories of what happened engulf me. I go lightheaded thinking about how I should have been able to save them.

I grit my teeth and pull on my clothes, by the time I get to the door I have broke a sweat. I growl when my body doesn't support me and I fall to the floor.

"Kay?"a soft voice says just outside my room, I sigh when she opens the door to find me in the floor, I sob quietly and she wraps her arms all round me, telling me it's not my fault.

"What if it is" I cry over and over but when she's there she lifts my soul, soon I'm ready and composed, I lean on her heavily but she doesn't seem to mind.

When we get to the living room I notice everyone is in a state, Hunter hugs Jay who's lost it and Toby watchs, Jaze sits and watches his sister and Jet paces along the wall every once in while he will growl.

I sigh and head to the food, Emmy takes my hand and guides me to a seat

"I'll get it for you" Emmy says softly, I nod and take to watching the pack, Jays parents death has shaken everyone including me. Suddenly Jay gets up and walks over to me.

"Thank you" he says while hugging me.

"What for?" I ask him.

"Stopping me from going over when it wasn't clear" he says as he puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Hey no problem---"

"I'm glad you did, I now think of you as a brother" he tells me while walking back to Hunter.

I look her over to make sure she isn't hurt as Toby walks over to make sure I'm fine.

"You ok?" He asks, I nod and try to smile but it doesn't work.

"You did everything you could" he tells me and I only nod, not trusting my voice.

"When's the ya know for Jays parents?" I ask knowing he know what I mean.

"It's in two days, you were out for nearly ten days" he says

"Whoa, ten days sorry" I say even though I had no control over it.

"It's ok and we went and got you a suit if that's ok" he says

"Yes sure" I reply

Jay calls over "I would like you to say something at my parents ya know"

I nod and say "yes, but I wouldn't know what I say".

"I just want you to say your heart, even if it's weird" he says.

Before I can't hold it, I burst out laughing and so does everyone else. Emmy comes in and helps me eat the food and everyone take the mick out of us.

Emmy growls at them and threatens body harm if they don't shut up.I laugh until I cant laugh anymore. My side burns but i don't care.

I huff and start to fall asleep, Emmy curls up next to me and we are soon both in dreamland.

***************Two days later*****************************

Everyone rush's around, Emmy has a beautiful black dress and my suit matches. We walk hand in hand up to the car and once everyone is in, the car drives off.

Jay is in shock and doesn't do much, Hunter and Jaze make sure he is ok and Toby and Jet are in deep discussion. I lean my head gently on Emmy's shoulder and we make eye contact.

Last night we stayed up talking, I didn't even now how tried I was until I got in the car. "Have a nap" she tells me.

I shake my head but my eyes close on there own and I don't have the will to open them again. I'm shaken out of my nightmare when I hear a scream.

"Kay, Kay wake up" Emmy begs, I bolt up right growling ready to take out hunters.

"What happened?" I ask unsure why there is no hunters.

"You were shaking and crying and then you screamed I just I---" Emmy break off mid way.

"Hey I'm ok, see" I say while putting her hand on me.

She shakes her head and I notice we have stopped. "Time to get out" Toby says. We nod and I gently take her hand.

We all walk up to the front and sit down, waiting makes me on edge but I deal. "Could Jay's brother Kay please come up for some words" I hear the priest says.

I shoot Jay a glance and he smiles sadly. I take a deep breath and get up, Emmy takes my hand and comes with me for support.

I stand and watch people waiting for me to speak, "It's ok you 'll do great" Emmy whispers in my ear. I smile and it all comes to me.

"Welcome everyone, I have never known Jay's parents but I do know this. Jay is a great kid and great kids only come from great parents right? Well I know Jay's parents would be proud of their son because I'm proud to call him my brother, we will always look out for each other and I realized something when he saved me. No matter what happens your family will help you and that what I plan to do. thank you".

I walk slowly back to my seat and help Emmy sit down. "That was amazing" Jay tells me. I smile and we watch the rest of Jay's parents passing.

Once it's over we all head over to the graveyard. I put my arm around Emmy and we walk behind everyone else. It's here when the effects get to Jay and he breaks down, he cries and cries but we all help him though it like I said we all would.

The rest is amazing but Jay is too hurt to see it, I video it so when he is better he can watch it. I yawn and lean against a tree, Emmy sees me and suggest we all head home, Jay agrees saying he cant' take anymore.

We all head for the car and I collapse inside it.
