Evie’s P.O.V

I watched as Bonnie paced the room once more. I sighed. Her pacing was driving me insane. I knew she was worried as to whether or not Lily was going to survive. But I was worried too. Scared out my wits in fact but at least I wasn’t obsessively pacing like a crazy person. She was making me more on edge than the actual situation was. “Bonnie. For the love of fudge cakes! Please stop the pacing!” I said desperately. This caused her to pause and look at me. Her face was red and swollen from the tears that she’d cried repeatedly. Her clothes were torn and bloody and her skin paler than usual. Her blue eyes shone with fresh tears and I sighed. I didn’t want her crying again. “I…I can’t” she muttered before continuing the pacing. I was about to scream at her when the pack doctor emerged from Lily’s room. I jumped up quickly and Bonnie stilled instantly. I released a breath of relief just because she’d stopped the pacing. “How is she doc?” I asked timid, afraid of the answer due to the grave look on her face. “She lost a lot of blood. We have repaired the injuries as best we could. Now its upto her wolf to help her. If her wolf has given in, I’m afraid she wont make it through the night. Sorry” the doctor said sadly before nodding and heading off. Probably to find Zylen and give him the verdict. It was then I burst into tears. Bonnie did the same and we clung to each other, tears pouring down our faces. It was twisted really. Bonnie’s eighteenth birthday and she was here sobbing her heart out because we weren’t sure if Lily would make it. ‘She will get through it Evie. She’s blood. We’re a stronger family than that’ my wolf purred in my head. But as reassuring as my wolf’s words were I couldn’t quite believe them. If the doctor wasn’t sure if Lily would make it, what made me wolf?

“Bonnie. Evie” Zylen said as he walked towards us. His usual happy face was replaced with a grave one and I couldn’t help but sob more. If the Alpha looked grave, then it really wasn’t a good outcome for something. “Daddy” Bonnie sobbed as she left my arms and ran to her father. I watched as he wrapped his arms around his daughter and held her close while she sobbed in his arms. It was a heart wrenching scene. “Evie. There is nothing we can do for Lily at the moment. Why don’t you go to your family. They need you right now” he said softly and I nodded. He was right, they did. I wasn’t even sure how up to date they were on Lily’s condition. If they even knew at all. I nodded at the Alpha before spinning on my heel and heading towards my families room. 

When I reached my mother and father’s bedroom door the sobs that echoed from inside the room had my heart in my throat. They knew. I sighed and pulled myself together before I knocked gently on the door and opened it slowly as to not startle anyone. Because startling wolves was never a wise choice. Usually fatal actually. “Evie!” they said dramatically before I was engulfed in a strange and awkward family hug. “Guys! Guys I’m okay. Now please. You’re squeezing me to death.” I begged trying to wriggle away to no avail. They looked sheepish for a few seconds before they backed away and I could breathe again. “Oh Evie. We have heard about your cousin. We were so worried you were involved” my mother said while hiccupping from the crying. I smiled softly. “I’m fine mum. I just wish I could same the same for Lily” I said sadly and looked at the wooden floor as if it was the most interesting thing in the world. I felt awkward. It was my own family for god sake! But things still seemed strained and awkward. I just wanted to run back out the door. Screaming. “Oh Evie. We know. But Lily and her wolf is strong. She will pull through this. We have to have hope” my mother said softly and I nodded. She was right we did have to have hope. And right there and then it was all I had to cling on to. Hope.

Bonnie’s P.O.V

Sitting down on one of the sofa’s in my father’s office, I pulled my knees up to my chin and wrapped my arms tightly around them. I felt so numb. Everything just felt so surreal. Then again no one expects two of your closest friends to be in this situation with one of them left fighting for their lives while the other awaits a death verdict. “Bonnie” my father says softly. But his voice sounds so distant. Like he’s not in the same room as me. But then that’s just how I feel. So numb and distanced from the world. I guess I just want to curl into a ball and disappear. Or better yet wake up at the beginning of this day to find this was all just a bad nightmare. Born from fears of losing friends now that I’m turning eighteen. But I’ve pinched myself several times and I feel it. Therefore this is not some twisted nightmare. No this is all very much real. And that’s the scariest thing. Its too real. “Bonnie. Are you listening to me?” my father says waving a hand in front of my face. I just nod. I don’t even know how to respond. The look on his face instantly tells me that was not the response he was after from me. “Bonnie. Look I know this is hard sweetheart. But you have to be strong. For Lily, Evie and even Revan” he says and I wince at the mention of Revan. I wasn’t even sure how to feel when it came to her anymore. She’s been my friend and partner in crime for god knows how long, but I’ve never witnessed this side of her before. The crueller side to her personality. And to be honest what I have witnessed I don’t think I will ever be able to un-see and that is a traumatising thought in itself. Just the fact that the scene is all that I see when I close my eyes. I know I wont be sleeping tonight. There’s no chance of that. Coming out of my mind ramble I realise I better actually reply to my father before he tries to get me admitted with the doctor. “Daddy. I’m sorry. I don’t know what you expect from me. But whatever it is there’s a high possibility I’m going to disappoint you. So why don’t I just save you the disappointment” I say before fleeing the room in a state of tears and running straight to my room, locking my door to stop unwanted people. 

I let the tears fall freely from my eyes as I lay on my bed. Pain and guilt wrack through my body as each tear burns down my reddened cheeks. I can’t help but to wonder if Ace was right. Was this all my fault? Have I been such a bad friend choosing favourites that they have to fight for my attention? Did I make them this way? The questions spin around in my head making me dizzy and tightening my chest. The thoughts that accompany the questions to painful to even want to voice. The tears soon stop flowing, probably from overuse from my tear ducts. I think ive officially ran out of tears. Instead I begin to hiccup as my body calms down from the tears. The pain hasn’t subsided any. If anything its heightened more. I close my eyes to try and make the pain go away but that only serves to make things worse. Images fly through my mind of that scene. The teeth. Lily’s delicate neck. The blood. Oh so much blood. My body shakes violently as each memory burns my mind refusing to let me forget. The images replay and replay like they’re stuck on some sort of continuous and torturous cycle. I scream and thrash on the bed, pulling at my hair, desperate to rid the images to my mind. But nothing works. My body finally stops thrashing and my mind stills when I hit the final wall of numbness. I’ve done the only thing I could think of to stop the pain and hurt. 

I’ve switched off my emotions.
