My deepest apologies for not updating sooner. I know I'm not very faithful with updating, I try every week or so, but sometimes I get so caught up in other things that I completely forget about writing.
Recently I've been reading a book called 'Juliet' by Anne Fortier. It is absolutely incredible. The plot, the way she incorporates history into fiction, her style of writing - everything. I would recommend this book to anyone!
Anyways, Back to the story!
Chapter 12
Francesca's POV
We made our way through the pack, up towards where Blake's father was standing. Blake quickly motioned him to speak to him quietly. Jerry nodded and led us back to the house, shutting the room behind him quietly.
"Blake, Francesca, What is it?" Jerry asked. His eyebrows furrowed and his eyes curious.
"It's Candy. Father, I overheard talking to someone on the phone last night. She spoke of taking over our pack. She wants to kill Cessa, then she says it will be easier to kill me, take over the pack, then defeat Hadrian. They are suppose to attack in one months time." Blake's tone was serious, he didn't realize that his fingers were digging into my side.
"Jerry, What are we suppose to do?" My voice was shaky as I spoke.
"I'm not quite sure yet. Let me go see her, talk to her, then I'll come back up and discuss this with the pack." Jerry turned to Blake, A serious expression upon his face. "Where is she being held?"
"In the dungeon. Do you want us to come with you?" Blake asked.
"No. Go up and keep the pack calm. Explain that we will be postponing training for today. But they cannot leave yet." Jerry gave us one last nod then walked in the direction of the dungeon.
Blake turned me around to face him. "Francesca, don't you worry. We'll sort this out. We'll find out everything she is hiding from us." He pulled me into a tight hug then kissed my forehead. "Let's go outside and tell mum whats happening." He took my hand and lead me outside.
Everyone turned to look at us when we exited the house. Diana and James threw us curious looks so Blake held up a finger, motioning that we'll just be one minute.
"Cessa, I'll go tell them what is going on, you talking to the pack, keep them busy while we wait." He smiled when I nodded, then he left to speak to his mum and James.
I spun around to look around the crowd of people. Looking for someone I could hit up a conversation with. After searching for a while I noticed a short head of ginger hair near the edge of the crowd. I made my way over there, smiling when I realized that it was Remmie. She didn't notice me so I decided to sneak up on her.
"BOO!" I grabbed her shoulders and shook her gently. She screamed and faced me. A murderous look on her face. Her face immediatly brightened when she saw that it was me.
"FRANCESCA! HII! I missed you!" She threw herself at me, wrapping her arms tightly around my neck, and her legs around my stomach. "I was so happy when mama told me that I was going to see you today!"
I laughed and patted her back gently, prying her off me gently and placing her back down on the ground. "I didn't know you were coming! Nobody told me! Let's go find some of your friends and maybe we can go play with them." She put her hand in mine and tugged me along with her. I noticed we were headed for the stage.
She dragged me up to the stage and found myself standing behind Blake. I leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Remmie... I thought we were going to find some of your other friends."
She looked at me as if I was stupid, "Duh, He is my friend!" she pointed up at Blake and she giggled then released my hand. Suddenly she threw herself at him, gripping his waist and burrying her head in his stomach. "NOMO!!" her voice was muffled, making me chuckle.
Blake spun around with a shit eating grin on his face. He picked Remmie up spun her around in a circle. "Rembo!!! How are you angel?"
"I'm goooooooooooooood. I missed you Nomo! Mama told me about Francesca! She said that we can all be best friends now!"
When she said that I let out a loud laugh and as if he only just saw me, Blake turned to me with a surprised expression. "How long have you been standing there?"
"The whole time." I check the time and saw that it's been 45 minutes since Jerry went down to the dungeon. With that thought, Everyone went quiet as Jerry came out of the house, dragging Candy behind him. She was still unconscious and blood was still on her clothes. Gasps spread throughout the crowd and Jerry covered Remmie's eyes.
"Blake I think you ought to take Remmie back to her mama."
He nodded and quickly brought her back to her mother and came back to me. Jerry climbed up on the stage, threw Candy on a chair and tied her arms and legs to it. I looked at the pack, they all had frightened and worried expressions. It was still silent when he started speaking.
"Everybody, I have bad news. Most of you know Candy, a member of our pack. Just like everybody else. Except she's not. Last night my son Blake overheard her talking on the phone with someone. What she was discussing with that person were awful. She planned on killing the future Luna, Taking over the pack and using you all at her disposal. She's been locked in the dungeon ever since." I was surprised at how straight forward he was.
Blake went up next to his father and announced, "Training will be postponed for today. It will go the same tomorrow. More information about what we'll be doing about Candy will be said later. For now, everyone please feel free to leave when you wish. We have some business to attend to."
With that said, Blake and Jerry came down from the stage, and people came and took Candy back to the dungeon. Blake made his way back over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me to him and holding my tightly.
"Let's go inside and rest for a while. Then we will talk about some things, okay?"
"Alright." I kept the reply short and simple, because for some reason, I suddenly felt really exhausted.
He took my inside the house and we laid down infront of the TV, our hands and legs entertwined. I rested my head on his chest then let out a long sigh. I shut my eyes the fell asleep.
