28: Time Stop

LILLY POV

Aelia partied a little too hard so instead of being awake, she is passed out on the couch. She fell on the floor originally but I moved her, ya know, I felt like it was the sisterly thing to do.

I miss him and I am really so worried about him. On top of that, I'm angry. I'm angry at Carrie, his sister or whoever the hell she was to him. She has no right. I grabbed my phone and dialed his number, it rang once before going to voicemail.

"I know this is voicemail, god who even knows how many, I'm sorry, I'm just worrying about you," I shook my head as I spoke to the phone, "can you give me a call? Please? If you're okay?" I ended the call and tossed my phone on the couch. "I have to go look for him right?" I talked out loud as my mind ran a hundred miles a second, "no that's crazy, I can't do that. Could I? No I really...." I let out a big sigh, heavily contemplating it.

I have to. I have to go, I need to see if he's okay, at the very least. I know I'm walking into a trap but atleast now it's not really a trap because I know about it. I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote a note to all of them.

Guys,
Don't get mad, I love all of you but the last thing I needed right now were bodyguards so I'm leaving. I plan to be back, I WILL be back please don't freak out. I just... I have some stuff to take care of.

I put the note on the table before looking around the house one more time. I walked out the front door and started to run. It was about ten minutes before I made it back to the movie dome. Memories flooded my brain of the night we spent here, the laughs and the cuddles, everything was pure. I know it was, there's no way it wasn't. I walked through town trying to get a feel for my surroundings. At first nothing was pulling my attention but then I saw a road sign with a red X spray painted on it.

I felt like I was running in slow motion. Even though I'm a vampire and a wolf and all, it still feels like I'm moving at an average human speed. It was concerning to me but I was really just focused on trying to get home. I saw light ahead so I ran down the wood line until I ran into a road, looking around I saw barely anything but a street sign, a red X marked the end of it.

I took a deep breathe and crossed the road, running down the street until it turned into a dirt road. I followed it to a house, I made sure to hide as I got closer. I could hear scuffling around inside, a heart beat... only one. I stormed into the middle of the yard.

"Carrie!" I screamed, "come on, Carrie! You want a fight? I'll give you one!" I saw one of the curtains move in the window and the front door opened. She took a few steps out on to the porch and walked down the stairs a bit towards me.

"You have some guts coming back here," she smirked before lifting her hands up. She threw them forward but I managed to block her hit, sending her spell right back at her. I watched her fly backwards into the house, a large thud followed. I walked up to the house but couldn't walk in, I wasn't allowed. I could see her slowly standing up from the ground, a hole where her body hit the wall was left. She let out a scream before throwing her hand forward again. I was able to jump to the side, missing her hit and I decided to jump up onto the roof. I then jumped across, landing in a tree and hiding myself, waiting for her to come out.

"Oh come on, don't hide now," she said from inside, "lets play." I heard her take the first step out and after about 15 seconds I could see her in the grass. She was looking around, she looked past me a handful of times already. "Lilly," she held her hands up, "come on. Are you that scared of me?"

I pointed my finger towards her, "incendia." I watched the ground directly in front of her burst into flames. She screamed and jumped back before snapped her head in my direction and screaming something I didn't understand. Before I knew it I was falling and when I hit the ground the air was knocked out of me. She ran in my direction, pinning my body to the ground. I could feel my bones starting to break as my body started to heat up and I couldn't help but let out a cry. Come on Lilly, shift. Shift! I couldn't, there was too much pressure and I can't think straight.
