The Gathering (chapter 1)

The last thing that Hayley felt was the searing pain of being burned alive. When it finally stopped she found herself in the middle of the bayou. She heard distant voices so she followed them. When she reached to where the voices were originating from she saw her family. All of her family was there even her deceased parents and some of the pack that were lost during battle.

Hayley's pov
It's been a while since I've found peace. I don't know exactly how long though, time works differently here.

We're all gathered around the fading fire, talking about anything and everything when suddenly there was this blinding light. When I could see again at first all I saw was darkness. I started to panick because I don't know what the hell is going on.

Eventually I heard a few groans and I slowly approached whoever it was still on guard in case I needed to attack. When I got close enough time see their face I was so shocked I did everything but scream. There laid someone I haven't seen in decades, whom I never thought I'd see again.

"Rikki?"

When she finally got to her feet she stared at me in complete shock and disbelief.

"Cleo?"

Hope's pov:
Me, Lizzie, and Josie were sitting in my room watching Harry Potter Prisoner of Azkaban because MG challenged Lizzie to watch it so she dragged me and Josie to watch it with her.

We were right at the part where Harry starts blowing up his aunt like a balloon. We were all laughing when suddenly a bright white light appeared and blurred my vision.

When I got back up I looked around and realized I wasn't at the Salvatore School anymore. It was pretty hard to see in here but what I could see looked almost like a movie theatre.

"Great another malivore monster, just what I needed right now" I thought to myself.

Then I heard some people talking in the distance. I slowly walked towards the voices, one of which sounded familiar, too familiar.

When I finally got in close distance to the people I heard earlier I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her standing right in front of me.

"Mom?"

I know I shouldn't have said anything or even think about it because it was probably the Necromancer messing with me. But when she turned around I couldn't help myself.

I don't care if it's real or not but my mother who I thought I'd never see again is standing only a few feet away from me.

"Hope?"

She looked at me with tears in her eyes. At that moment, I didn't care what would happen to me, I just wanted to hug my mom again. I ran up to her and immediately jumped into her arms.

It felt so good to actually be able to see her, to feel her touch, and to hug her again. I immediately felt the tears pricking at the back of my eyes.

"I missed you so much mom."

"I know I missed you too baby. My sweet, sweet girl."

At that moment I couldn't hold it back anymore, I just let the tears flow freely out of my eyes. I slowly pulled out of her embrace wanting to see her face.  "I thought I'd never see you again."

"I know but I'm here now okay" She pulled me back in for another hug. When we let go of each other this time I heard a voice coming from behind my mom.

"I'm sorry to interrupt but who is this?"
