I hate you and you hate me...there, now we're even with each other. (Chp. 24)

Recap

Aislin's POV

I felt shock go through me as the beautiful black wolf with the familiar piercing yellow eyes slowly made his way toward me. I felt my heart swell up just looking at this beautiful creature. Once he was close enough for me to touch him, I stroked the side of his neck and felt one word slip through my parted lips:

"...Seth..."

Seth's POV

...Aislin...

My beautiful Aislin. She was standing in front of me, tears pouring down her pale cheeks while she stroked me ever so gently. She was so beautiful that I couldn't keep my eyes away from hers. But what shocked me most was how badly bruised and beaten she looked. I knew for a fact at that moment that Blake had been beating her and raping her because she smelt like him.

I was going to murder him.

That bastard was going to pay for every single cut and bruise he caused to my Aislin. My eyes softened as she wrapped her arms around my neck and cried softly. I nuzzled her gently and she stood back to wipe her eyes. I tried my best to give her a doggy smile and she smiled back. But before I could nudge her to tell her everything would be alright, pain inflamed on my left hind leg and I howled viciously before turning around and looking at my attacker; limping in the process.

It was none other than Blake. Surprise, surprise. There was no guess that he knew what I had in mind for him. He grinned evilly and flashed his fangs out at me before jumping onto my back and biting into my neck. I howled again and rolled onto the ground to crush his stupid body. I smiled triumphantly once I felt him struggling to get out from under me. But all I did was press him harder onto the ground.

I heard a vicious hiss escape his lips and flipped over so I had him pinned down and was glaring at him through hateful eyes. Stupid asshole! You're going to pay for what you did!! I screamed at him, knowing that he could hear me. Blake hissed at me and fought to get up. But I had him tightly held down. I bared my canines at him and brought them down on his shoulder to tear at it.

With all my strength, I pulled some of his flesh off and heard his cry of pain next to me. But I didn't stop. He hurt Aislin and for him, there was no mercy. I bit into him again, getting blood on my nose, and ripped at his flesh again only to feel another vampire jump onto my back and bite into my fur. The stupid leech was to stupid to realize he was biting into my fur and not my skin. I growled in annoyance and used my strength to throw the leech off. I heard a satisfying 'thump' against the wall and focused back on Blake.

My eyes widened when I realized he was underneathe me anymore. I scanned around me fervently only to find other members of the pack fighting a large amount of vampires. The stench of their blood was horrific and I wrinkled my nose in disgust before I finally spotted Blake standing next to Jessica who was watching me through red eyes. Blake was clutching the shoulder I had bitten into and blood was dripping all over his arm.

Jessica smiled hatefully at me and in less than a second, she had grabbed my neck and slammed me into the wall. My eyes rolled back as I felt something crack in my hind right leg. She broke it. I fell to the floor and lifted my head at her. She was now scowling at me and kicked me viciously in the side. I yelped in pain and felt my leg go numb.

She kneeled down next to me, stroking my fur as if she were being sympathetic, and whispered to me in a deadly tone. I flinched at her voice, "That's what you get for hurting my brother, mutt." She cocked her head to side and slowly took out a knife from a pocket. I knew exactly what she was going to do. She was going to give me another scar that matched the first one she'd given me on my back.

Jessica used her strength to grab me and throw me to the floor so my back was facing her. I tried, with all of my own strength, to get up and away from her but the attempt was futile. I was to weak.

She slowly stalked towards me, eyeing me with a terrible look in her eye and was about to slash my back when a voice stopped her, "Leave him alone!!" I looked over to see Aislin being held back by Nate. He was struggling though because she was using her vampire strength. I could sense it.

Jessica only laughed at this and twirled the knife around in her hands, "Pathetic human. You really think I'll listen to you?" she spat. Aislin narrowed her eyes and looked at me. I could tell she wanted to lunge herself at Jessica and rip her apart. I shook my head and willed her to hear me as I spoke. Aislin, please, please don't say stuff like that to her. I don't want her to hurt you. As if she had heard me, the hostility in her eyes dissapeared and she stopped struggling.

I was a little shocked at this but all that went away the moment Jessica's knife struck my back. Just like the first time she ever did it, I howled with such agony that every other sound in the room stopped and all the werewolves, even vampires, looked over at me. The pain was overwhelming once I realized that Jessica had put poison on the knife. I could feel it slowly seeping into my blood system and killing me slowly.

But this wasn't the normal type of poison that seeps into your blood and kills you painlessly. This poison was the kind of poison that caused you pain as you died. I felt myself becoming weaker and weaker by the second. I never expected my death to be because of poison. I had always thought I would die fighting in battle. Not by this.

I felt my entire body erupt in pain and I whimpered from it; not having enough strength to howl. I looked up at Aislin and tears were pouring down her cheeks. I tried to smile at her, to tell her everything would be alright. But that would be lying. Everything would not be alright. I closed my eyes and felt the poison reach my heart. In a matter of seconds, I would pass away; leaving my poor Aislin by herself.

This wasn't going as I had planned.

Aislin's POV

I watched helplessly as Seth closed his eyes and started to breathe in short gasps. I couldn't bear to live without him if he died. I struggled to get out of Nate's hold but he was to strong. Seth opened his eyes to look at me. I swallowed as his weak voice entered my mind. I love you, Aislin. And with that, he stopped breathing altogether. I listened for his heartbeat but it was dead. It felt like my own heart had stopped beating. No amount of words could explain how much pain I was in at that moment.

I let out a sharp cry and with a finally pull, thrusted myself towards Seth's dead form and cried. His once lively blue eyes were now dead and lifeless. I felt so broken. I wrapped my arms around his neck and cried so hard that I couldn't breathe. But I didn't care. All I cared about was that Seth, my Seth, was dead.

And it was Jessica's fault.

I felt someone laugh beside me and looked up to see Jessica smirking like the stupid witch she was. I felt so angry. I felt my eyes turn into slits and bared my fangs at her, hissing hatefully. That seemed to catch her off gaurd because she didn't know I was half-vampire. I took that opportunity and lunged myself at her, biting into her flesh so deeply that I wished I would strike a vein and kill her.

Jessica snapped out of her shock and began to fight against me. But I had her neck in my grip and felt her breathing pick up as I began to suck the life out of her. She was going to die for the death of my love. I felt tears pouring out of my eyes as I bit deeper into her neck, causing her to moan in pain and becoming weaker. I used the last of my anger to bite harder and deeper into her that I felt the bone in her shoulder strike against my fangs. But I didn't stop. I would drain every ounce of life she had left for the death of Seth.

Then, a moment later, I heard a snap in her neck and her body went limp in my grasp. I removed my fangs from her neck and dropped her body. Her eyes were rolled back and blood was slowly seeping out of the wound I didn't close. She was dead. I wiped my mouth and tried to wipe away the tears but they just kept coming. I looked over again at Seth's body and it was still unmoving.

My heart wrenched painfully and my knees gave out from under me. I dropped to the ground and began to cry again. The pain was unbearable. I didn't know what I was going to do without Seth. I was nothing without him. I wrapped my arms around myself and wept bitterly. I would never be the same again.

I love you too, Seth. I love you too...
