"No, we are not putting Annabella and Adonis in that risky situation, Treyven," I exclaimed.

"We can use the kids as bait and when he comes to get them, we can attack. Simple," Treyven shrugged.

"No, I say we go and charge right in," Holly suggested in anger. You can tell she wasn't thinking.

"Really, Holly. That's just gonna get us killed," Kalea snorted leaning back in aggravation.

"Doing nothing would mean them dying," Holly retorted bitterly.

"No one said that we weren't gonna do anything, stupid ass."

"Stupid?!"

I watched them quarrel afraid to stop them. They've never fought before.

And I was to blame for it.

"Hey, Kalea! Holly! Don't talk to anyone that way. No one in this pack is stupid," her mom bellowed. I was struck with a wave of fear and stiffness. Their mom had always had a smile on her face. I've never seen her yell or seen her angry. Dylan was just as surprised, because he was tense as I was.

"Ughhhhh!" Kalea sneered, standing and storming away.

"KALEA! SIT!" Dylan reprimanded which I was startled by.

She turned on her heel slowly and stared at Dylan with a death stare. The room filled with silence and anticipation of what would happen between the both of them. "Yes, Alpha." She sarcastically bowed and turned to sit next to Elliot once again.

"Now, that all quarrels are dismissed, we're going to think of a plan together. Inputting 100 percent of our all into this plan," Dylan spoke. Everyone looked at Dylan with admiration and determination. I honestly loved it.

"Cassandra, we can't sleep," Adonis said from behind me. He scratching his head and Annabella was closely behind him.

"Ok, I'll come and help," I said hurriedly trying to leave this scene that was eating me from the inside to the out.

I followed them back to their room, and it was cool and dark. It gave me a dark feeling in my heart that something wasn't right. I turned on the light and helped them into bed. "Now what's the problem?" I asked softly. "Annabella, has something to tell you," Adonis breathed. I shifted my body towards Annabella, who was sitting in her bed noiselessly.

"What's wrong, Blue Bell," I asked going to kneel by her bed, clearly concerned. "You might die," she said faintly looking out of the window. She looked shattered and lost. I was hesitant to even ask what she meant, but she was worth the bravery. Annabella was always so bubbly, but lately she's been... distant and afraid.

"What are you talking about, Bell?"

"She means that, you aren't safe," an unfamiliar voice said from behind me. He had black hair and blue ocean eyes.

"Who are you," I said standing.

"I'm Annabella's therapist, Jayden. I know that you are Cassandra, Annabella's sister."

"Well hi, but is there a reason you are here," I asked. Adonis sat in his bed silently examining what was going on.

"Yes, and that is to help Annabella and you understand her visions."

"Visions? Annabella has never told me about any...visions."

"She's six, she doesn't understand them. She just sees them, observes them, and tells what she sees," he said with a bit of attitude. He moved silently towards Annabella and kneeled beside me.

"Annabella, can you tell me exactly what you saw in your vision about your sister," he said softly. She just sat there and looked at us. She shut her eyes tightly and turned away.

"She sees Cassandra dying," Adonis sighed. Jayden looked down at his fingers like he was analyzing the simple statement Adonis made.,

After a short moment of torturous silence, he jumped up with much needed celerity.

"Annabella, give me your hand," he shouted with wide eyes. She slowly turned and extended her hand.

He grabbed it lightly and her dark brown eyes instantly shifted to black. There was no color at all in her eyes. Just black. She stayed silent the whole time, and I just stared at her in fear that these visions would scar her for life.

"Go comfort, Adonis," Jayden whispered. I spun my head around and saw Adonis under his bed spread. I swiftly moved over to the side of his bed and hugged him tightly. Before I could ask him what was wrong, a high wind blew through the room.

The window sealed tightly and impenetrable to wind. I ignored it at first, but it soon became impossible to ignore once the window picked up and blew some of Annabella's school work across the room. I hugged Adonis tighter and turned my attention to Jayden who still held Annabella's hand in his. He seemed almost oblivious to what was going on around him.

"Jayden, are you done!" I yelled over the wind that seemed to be making a tornado in the room. He nodded and released his grip on Annabella's hand.
Her eyes instantly shifted to its original dark brown color and the wind came to a stop abruptly. "Now tell us what you saw," Jayden urged. She slowly looked at me with low, droppy eyes.

"Cassandra will die, by someone who love her. They will...put a knife in her back. And she will scream," Annabella whispered. Her statement sounded so familiar. The concept, the word choice...they sounded so familiar.

"Who did it," I asked suddenly.

"Kalea," she whispered.

"No, Blue Bell, it couldn't be. She's my friend, my best friend. You must be mistaken."

"Well, Cassandra, she is the Luna Queen of Future and Seeing," Jayden said with a monotonous voice.
"What's that," I asked curiously.

"I have to do more research on that," he said smiling lowly at Annabella.

"Happy birthday, Annabella," he whispered. She smiled widely and hugged him.

"The queen is definitely what you are," he smiled.

"Thanks," she whispered. I smiled and let go of Adonis, who I thought I had let go of a long time ago.

"Well, I have to go before someone figures out I'm here," Jayden said standing.

"You weren't the least bit of worried about that when you were shouting when you solved what was going on with Annabella," I chuckled standing from Adonis's bed trying to lighten the mood. He laughed and walked towards the window.

Annabella got out of bed and opened the window. Jayden jumped expertly out of the window and Annabella closed the window after him.

"Ok, Annabella and Adonis it's time to sleep," I said turning off the light.

"Good night," they said in unison. I smiled and closed the door softly. I walked back into the living room and everyone was smiling widely.

"What did I miss," I chuckled. I looked at Kalea and I examined her closely to see of there was any sign of hatred for me in her eyes. But there wasn't.

"We have the perfect plan, princess," Dylan said motioning for me to come to him. "I came up with the plan!" Treyven yelled. "Hey! I want my credit," he said when we all stared at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Whatever but it includes the plan being penetrable," Kalea smirked.

"And we're the bait," Holly smirked at me.
