The Twins

Chapter Thirty Two: Learn To Live

Kate's Point Of View

I got the answers I needed to know about the newcomer, at the expense of my own sanity, but I got it. That conversation with Nat was the worst conversation we have ever had. She finally sees me for the broken sibling I am. I'm a train wreck, and I left no survivors. Anyone that gets close enough to me to be my favorite, dies. So like I said, No survivors. Shylo didn't deserve this, so I'm going to go exploring alone, and get my shit together. That's what she wanted for me after all. And while I'm at it, I'll be looking for Rebekah Mikaelson. I. WANT. HER. DEAD. I want her head delivered to me on a silver platter, the same way I just delivered Lewis Appenzeller to her. I step outside to find Aiden, when I run into Sophie. " Hey Duch. You ditched me when I needed you the most. You want to make it up to me?" She frowns a little. "What's the favor Kate?" she sighs. "No. No more favors. I'm leaving. Come with me?" She lights up with a big smile on her face. "Of course I will Kate." It's always been her dream to travel the world. I plan to show it to her. And discover it for myself along the way. "I'll be right back, I gotta find Aiden." She nods towards the main tent, letting me know he's in there. I walk into the main tent, not waiting for permission. "Aiden.." I say, he doesn't look at me. "Aiden!" I say louder this time, He still ignores me. "AIDEN!!! Where is her body?!?" I spaz out on him. He finally looks up at me. I almost want to cry being forced to ask him that way. I just talked about her body like it's an object. How could he force me to talk like that, all because he wanted to ignore this conversation. "Out back" he whispers. "But Kate..... As a Werewolf who was staying with my pack, I owe her a werewolf outing." What the Hell Is a Werewolf outing?? I speed away acting as if I know what it is and it upsets me. But I haven't the slightest clue what it is. I rush around camp at high speeds looking for Sophie until I almost crash into her. "Duchess." I pant. Catching my breath. As she waits for me to continue. "What is a Werewolf Outing?" She sighs and tuts her tongue. "Oh honey, they are gonna send her away in a burning boat or burn her in a car or here for that matter, it just depends on how the pack does it." I feel the tears fall down my face as she tells me this. Aiden planned on burning her. She wouldn't have wanted that. She preferred her witch side over the other two. She should be buried with nature and in a lycee of some sort. The tears are falling faster now. I can't hold them back. I loved her too much. I'll never get to see her again. And he wants to burn the last remaining part of her. I lean in and kiss Sophie on her cheek, and take off speeding towards Aiden again. I walk in the tent siphoning myself, I walk fully in and whisper "Apne Sa Mene" I look up and see me and him aren't alone, Roscoe is still in here. "Invitae Roscoe Outenium" I say as I watch Roscoe's little body be dragged forward and come to a stop right outside the barrier. "You can't. I won't let you. As simple as that. She didn't even care that she was a werewolf. She was more proud she was a witch. She deserves a witch's burrial." He's watching me intently, I'm kind of worried he knows something I don't. "Yes you're right she didn't care about her werewolf side. Not even in the slightest. But it's a werewolf tradition, if a werewolf dies in the company of your pack, and you can't find their pack, You give them a proper werewolf outing. She didn't have a pack. But she was here and I will give her a proper outing." I frown. "That's where you're wrong. She did have a pack. Had you paid enough attention to her, you would know that." I turn around half ready to cry again. "Apne So Mene" I drop the spell as I walk away. I know he'll be back to ask for her pack's name. I walk behind the tents to find her. When I get to the back she looks peaceful minus the hole in her chest, almost like she's sleeping. I kneel down next to her and take her necklace off of her. "I'm going to hold onto this so I can give it back to you when I die. Ok?" I whisper into thin air. I lean down and kiss her forehead. "Goodbye I love you Shylo Gean Appenzeller." I run my fingers across her eye lids making sure they are closed so she can look more peaceful. "I don't know how else to cope Shy, I'm trying my best. I'm leaving today, I promise I'll find her. She will pay Shylo." I tense up when I Sense someone behind me. "It's not polite to lurk and stalk Aiden." I sputter out. "I wasn't aware I was stalking. My bad." He says as he walks up to me. "You said she had a pack?" he asks, his curiosity peaked. "Yea she did, It wasn't a big one, Maybe six people, seven? I'm not sure. But yea she had a pack." He smiles. "Who was the leader of her pack, do you know?" He knows I'm referring to me and the others, and he thinks he's slick tryna call me out. I don't think so sir. "She was...." I choke up at the thought. "Oh Shit. I didn't realize she was an Alpha." She was, thanks to her mom. But that wasn't important. "Yea. It was passed down to her." That's all he's privileged to. "Well since she's an Alpha her Beta, or partner gets to decide what to do with her. In the case there isn't a mate or proper Beta, it would fall to her closest friend." he states like it's common knowledge. "So then it falls to me after all." I sigh. I take a second to think long and hard about this. She loved being a witch, but she loved traditions even more. "Give her a werewolf outing. She was big into traditions. She would have wanted this." He stands up, turning to leave. "I'll have it all ready in an hour. She'll be placed into a car and we will-" I cut him off before he can finish that. "And I will use magic to light the car on fire, she did love being a witch after all." He smiles and walks away. I go get Natalie and Sophie and tell them they are doing something for Shylo and they both better be there. When we get to the right car, I'm shaking. The wolf Roscoe places her in the backseat as if she fell asleep on a road trip. People who had grown close to her while she was here went and said their goodbyes. I was to go last since I'm setting her a blaze. When it's finally my turn I can't stop crying, "I can't do this Shylo. Help me. I can't do it alone." I feel cold for a second, then I feel confident and happy, not sad. It's as if she went inside of my body to help me with this next part. I take a couple steps away from the car. "I love you Shylo!" I scream and almost cry. "Phasmatos Incendia" I say Letting my hand glide in the direction of the car. I begin crying harder when it's done. I'm not as happy and confident anymore. And it feels so lonely. I walk over to Duchess and wrap my arm around her to hide it. And I smile as she pulls me into a tight hug. That's right, you're right Shylo. I'm not alone.
