    We walked back to the car, Lucas supporting me and keeping me up. I was wavering on my feet. Feeling a little detached from my own body. I had to give props to Lucas though, he was keeping his emotions at bay, loving me or not he was pushing the feeling away. He really was meant to protect me, not that I doubted that.
    We made it to the car and we got back into the back seat. I looked at my hand, the infinity symbol that I was just getting used to being there, was fading fast leaving just a faint scar, much like the one my mother had on her finger. I felt a little sad at the love lost then a little miffed that I was practically forced to love someone who was not at all who he pretended to be.
    "Here's the deal, we are about 20 minutes or so away from the cabin," Octavia said, Connor finished for her, they did this a lot I realized, probably the fault of being with someone for hundreds of years. "And once we get there, she's going to pounce, or well her little Luna Pack will. You just have to tell her that you know where the cure is and you'll take her to it, whatever you do just ignore the feeling to kill her, because you kill her..." I cut Connor off. "I know, Ill kill you all," I said.
    Everyone was silent as we traveled the rest of the 20 minutes. We finally pulled off onto a small road, then that road split off and led to a deeply rutted road that led up a mountain. Lucas reached across the seat and grasped my hand tightly. 'just breathe," he told me. I wasnt breathing I was starting to panic actually. How was I going to not kill her when thats what I was raised to do?
    We were bounced around in the car as we went up the deeply rutted road and then we were there. We pulled up next to a small cabin and standing outside of it were people. Lots and lots of people.
_________________________________________________________________
Octavia turned off the car and then she looked at Connor who looked back at Lucas and I. 'You've got this, eden," he told me softly. "we all have faith in you," I scoffed. Im glad he did because I sure as hell did not. Octavia got out of the car, followed by Lucas. Connor kept looking at me. 'You've got this," he repeated again. I nodded. and then he got out and I followed.
    I recognized few of the people. With us finally there, the seven was complete. Cora, Immanuel, Becca, Maris, Connor, Octavia and Finn were all present, along with James and Julianne and a few other people I didnt recognize. and then I saw them. "Mom! Dad!" I cried out. They were standing on the opposite side of the cabin. This wasnt projected to me! I ran towards them but Julianne held her hand out causing me to stop. '
    "Tell me right now why I shouldnt just kill you and then kill your mother?" Julianne snapped. I shook, Uncle Jax was right, she was a lot more bad ass in person. "Because I can help you,' I told her. She laughed loudly. "I dont need your help child. I just need someone to kill you and then I'll have what I want." I went to say something and then started to panic. She moved her hand and the first person that moved to stand in front of her made my heart drop. Uncle Jax.
    Except he wasnt in control at all. And I could tell. His eyes showed that he was trying immensley hard to fight against the hold his mother had on him but it wasnt working. I took a step back. I could feel Lucas' energy  pulsating over onto me,  meaning that Connor had given him back his shifting power for real. I looked back at him and shook my head at him slightly. warning him not to do it because if he did we wouldnt win, there were to many people she had on her side. The people from the gas station that we had met when we first started traveling to Tennessee, the man I knocked out at the motel, and so many more people that could gang up on him and bring him down. I couldnt worry about him when i was going to have to focus on staying alive.
    'Uncle Jax please dont," I whispered as he brought a hand up. He was summoning energy just like he had taught me. His hand quavered like he was trying so hard to fight against it. I looked over and saw my mom and both dads trying their hardest to get away from the corner of the cabin but there was a block. My dad looked like he was going to commit murder. and my mom was beating on the invisible wall crying her eyes out.
    I adverted my gaze, just in time to duck as Uncle Jax sent an energy ball at me. I concentrated and sent a low voltage one right back at him. "I can take you the cure!" i cried out as Uncle Jax sent a higher voltage energy ball at me, it singed my shirt, causing me to his as the heat burnt my stomach.
    'The cure is over there watching you die,' Julianne said laughing. I concentrated again and summoned the energy from everyone around me. Julianne's want and need to have me dead, Uncle Jax's determination to kill me, my mom and dads' fear and Lucas' love and then it was to much to handle and i launched it at Uncle Jax catapulting him off his feet into the air and over into the holler on the other side of the driveway.
    I hit my knees and took a breath. Julianne looked peeved. She motioned her hand again and someone else moved from behind her. I sighed. I was hurting the people I loved, at this rate I wasnt going to have anyone left to love. Aunt Charlee moved from behind Julianne and she had much of the same stance that Uncle Jax had, she had no control over her actions. I stood up shakily and then saw Uncle Cam move from the other side of the Julianne and my breath stopped. Are you kidding me right now?!
Lucas stepped up next to me and I saw him struggle to keep from shifting. "Just dont kill them please,' he murmured to me. "I cant exactly control that!" i hissed to him. "They're trying to kill me!" Lucas launched forwards and grabbed his dad and knocked him to the ground. Then Aunt Charlee came running at me and then she aimed a kick at my chest knocking me down. I hit the ground with an "oomph" and the breath was knocked out of me. Aunt Charlee brought her foot down to slam a stomp on my chest but I grabbed her ankle, twisted and she fell to the ground.
    Lucas was fighting hand to hand with his dad, equally matched, and he was doing good resisting the urge to shift. I got up and swayed on my feet, damn she had to have broken a rib. I watched as Uncle Cam round housed kicked Lucas and Lucas hit the ground. I went forward to help but Aunt Charlee grabbed my ankles from her position on the ground and pulled me down. My head bounced off the gravel, Ouch! Why was no one rescuing me damnit! I was the damsel in distress here! Oh yeah, because Octavia and Connor thought I could handle this myself and Becca and Immanuel were from the looks of it caught behind the same shield that my parents were. Wonderful.
    I let out a cry as Aunt Charlee used her knees to pin my arms and then she grabbed my neck and squeezed. I couldnt breathe. Oh my god, my own aunt was going to kill me!  I struggled against her and wiggled an arm free and then with all the strength and breathe I had left I pushed the black spots in my vision out of my way and focused and with all the energy I had left in my body and that I could muster from everyone else, I sent her flying off of me into the cabins siding, and watched gasping for air as she slid to the ground in an unconscious heap.
    I got up on my knees and then pushed myself to my feet. Cam and Lucas were still fighting. Lucas had gotten up and was still supressing his urge to shift. I could feel it. if he did it would all be over. His dad would die and then we would die and then my mom would die and the world would end. What an amazing cause and effect that was.
    I faced Julianne and with all the breathe I could muster I told her. 'i can take you to the cure your parents made!" Then I fell back to the ground, like I was vertically challenged.
    Julianne held her hand up and Cam ceased his actions. "You've caught my attention shifter," she said to me. "I can take you to the real cure, the one you've always wanted. Just let my family go." I told her. Julianne narrowed her eyes at me. 'I had the last two saviours killed because they tried to destroy the cure instead of give it to me. How do I know i can trust you?" she asked me.
    I stood up. The world tipped. I should have stayed on the ground. "Because. You have to. Killing my mother wont give you what you REALLY want, taking you to the original cure will, you'll just have to believe me when I say I'll take it to you," I told her.
    She looked over her shoulder and someone else moved from behind her. I really couldnt fight anyone else. i really didnt even want to. Couldnt I catch a break? James stepped into my vision. and i felt nothing. Nothing but hate and betrayl.
    "You lied to me,' I hissed. He smiled. "I really didnt want you hurt but the bond with Julianne is much stronger than the bond I have with you," he told me. "had. Im not mated to you anymore," I explained. He looked confused and then looked at my hand and then he looked scared. 'You cant get me to do what you want anymore, someone broke my bond," I said.
    "Thats impossible, you're mine!" he growled. "was I?" I replied. I looked over at Immanuel. Julianne caught my gaze and followed it and then out of curiousity he lifted whatever spell she had on Becca and Immanuel. "What did you do to her!" James screamed at Immanuel. Immanuel smiled. "what I had to, I wouldnt have been able to break the bond if the bond was real, you cant force love and you cant force a mate, James." Immanuel explained.
    James looked at Julianne. "You said it would be real, you said that I could have her as my mate as long as I did as you asked!' he cried. What was wrong with this guy? Julianne laughed. "I say alot of things that I do not go through with James, get over it. You'll never find anyone to replace the girl you had an affair with, get over it.'
    James went ballistic. "YOU'RE MINE!" he screamed as he lurched towards me. Lucas stepped in front of me and Immanuel stepped next to Lucas. "Actually, if you want to put it technically," Immanuel said. "I broke her bond, therefore she's mine." Lucas turned to face him just as I moved his shoulder so I could see his face. "Wait what?' both me, James and Lucas asked.
    Octavia sighed from her postion by Connor over by the edge of the holler. "See what I meant? Ugly indeed."
_______________________________________________________________________________     I was ignoring this. Men and their overprotective, obessive, possesive, he man ways. God, I walked away and up to Julianne. I was just going to let them duke it out. What did I do to make God hate me so much? 'I can take you to the cure, its in Nashville, but you have to let my parents and Uncle Jax, Cam and Aunt Charlee go, thats the only way I'll do it,' I told her.
    "Giving me ultimatums, eh? You are a smart girl," Julianne said. I laughed at that. Obviously I wasnt, because I was bargaining with the devils mistress. That wasnt really in the category of "smart".
