The Last Fight

"You stay by my side and do not even attempt anything other than what we have spoken about ok." Will interlocked his fingers into mine kissing my knuckles over and over.

"I've got it." I smiled coyly as I felt sick my eyes focused on the time from the watch he wore upon his wrist.

"I've got you. I will not let anything happen to you. Do you trust me."

"With my life, Henry. I've always trusted you."

"When this is all over, I want to make you a promise."

"What kind of promise."

"The kind where we finally have a normal date. One where we are free to go and live a normal life as boyfriend and girlfriend." He bit down to his lips, blushing.

"Your adorable Henry and I will hold you to that." I kissed his cheek, feeling the warmth of my love for him inside. "But first let's get tonight out of the way. Where is Louis, I haven't seen him all day?"

"He's keeping an eye on a certain someone, who isn't far away, so we shouldn't say much. Mind your head." He held a branch high as I weaved underneath it, making our way into the forest.

"Why has your father chose to do this where the wolves are."

"It the power isn't it he loves to believe he is in control."

"And what about Sasha, how is she going to cope with Louis being so close. The poor girl is chained up underground just to try to contain her emotions."

"And it's the full moon." His face was stern as his temples pulsated.

"Meaning?"

"The wolves will transform tonight it's the one night they are at their strongest why he has decided to do this here I will never know. Something isn't right." He stopped pulling me next to him. "He's up to something."

"Like what, Henry, what is it?"

"I'm not sure, but maybe we should run, get away from here. I could carry you, I have the speed."

"We can't, they will always find us. I need to end this tonight."

"Eleanor, wait what are you planning. You've been quiet all day. What are you hiding." He whispered as his eyes widened.

"Nothing, I just mean this will all be over tonight."

"I can tell when you are lying, the tiny freckles on your nose appear just like they are now."

"Henry, you have to trust me."

"Not when your life will be at risk."

"It's not. I know what I am doing."

"What's in your pocket, you've been fiddling with something ever since we left."

"Please Henry, just trust me."

"Eleanor." Before I could stop him, he lifted the bottle from my jacket pocket. "Is this what I think it is?" He hissed, looking around.

"Yes, Kaleb gave it to me last night. There is enough in there for both you and Louis. I can end this tonight Henry, please, I know what I am doing."

"And what is it exactly that you are doing."

"I'm going to feed the master my blood before the ritual is complete."

"And how do you think you can do that."

"Kaleb will help me."

"Kaleb." He laughed inwardly as his head dropped to the ground. "And you think you can trust him, Elle."
