Chapter 8:

Aurora's Pov.... (After Edward's Funeral)

Its been two days since his death. I stand at my fathers grave while everyone leaves to their homes after the funeral. Tears fall down my cheeks as i look upon his grave. We travelled back home to the castle in America to bury him together with his ancestors and next to mother. Jericho stands next to me and stays quiet. I was still avoiding him since his confession. I stand and realise that there's no time to hold grudges against others because you never know when they might leave and you didnt have the chance to say goodbye. I made that mistake once with my father. It felt horrible and i dont want it to happen again. I grab Jericho's hand beside me and hold it. He looks at me and squeezes my hand, holding it tight.

"We are going to get through this together. Dad is in a better place now, with your mother. Hes watching over you, he wont ever leave you. Don't worry, i will be here for you all the way. I will never leave your side." He says with sincere in his voice.

I look to him, "You promise?" My voice cracks.

He gives me a sad smile and raises his right hand and puts it to heart, "I promise, cross my heart, hope to die"

I embrace him as tight as i could, feeling a tingle sensation that relaxed me , "Thank you" i whisper as he hugs me back.

"Rory, im sorry for lying to you. I didnt mea-" i raise my hand, cutting him off.

"Dont apologise, we are even now. Since i avoided you for three days straight and i understand why you did that. I mean, i wouldnt have really believed you if you said it" Giving him a sheepish smile.

He hugs me again, "Thank you, i wont do it again"

He lets go as i stare back down at my father. I wipe away my tears and stand up straighter. This is who my father wanted me to become. He wanted me to be strong. He never taught me to give up, he always told me to fight till the victory is won.

"I will avenge your death father. I will fulfill my destiny and i wont give up. I will be strong, for you, mother, the boys, Jericho, Ma, Pa and our race."

Back at the castle....

"Who did this?" I ask fred

"I dont know, princess." He looks down at his feet, ashamed that he wasnt able to save his king.

"Look at me Fred, its not your fault. Dont feel guilty because i know you did the best you could." He looks at me with a sad smile.

"Thank you Princess." He replies.

"Tell us Fred what happened" Ryan starts to question him.

"Me and the guards and your father were on our way to the airport when we were told by police to follow them in a different direction. We followed them and ended up in the forest. Your father had a bad feeling about it so we decided to turn back. When we turned around, an army of men and wolves stood in our way. Before we could drive around, someone opened my door and dragged me out. Your father came out to help and so did the other guards. We were outnumbered by so many. Your father and i managed to kill many of them but they kept on coming. It was like they gathered as many men to take out your father. It was wierd because some vampires shifted into black werwolves." I gasp and my eyes widened as i thought of the killer. First my mother then my father. My eyes blazed gold at the thought making me shake with rage. Everyone looked at me in concern. Everyone stood up and backed away from me.

"Rory calm down." Ryan approached me slowly as i growled lowly warning him to back off. He quickly backed off. They knew if my eyes blazed gold, i could kill anyone that stood in my way without thinking and no one could stop me.
