Owen's POV

"What the hell happened to Gray?!" Claire yelled.

"He uh, he's in a coma."

Claire wiggled out of my arms and ran over to gray.

"Oh Gray," I heard her whisper.

"Claire, I did everything I could," I said making my way over to them. Claire looked up at me, her eyes were watering. I couldn't stand seeing her like this. "Claire please don't cry," I soothed. After I said that, all he'll broke out. Claire bursted into tears, and Zach walked out of the shelter. I pulled Claire into a quick embrace and then I got up and went to get Zach.

"Hey, Zach?"

"What do you want?"

"I want to make sure you're alright," I responded. He laughed,

"Just go make sure my aunt is alright. You just care about her, why the hell would you care what would happen to Gray and I?" He snipped. " oh wait let me guess- is it because Claire cares about us and you want to make her happy? Yea that's definitely it."

"Zach, I know this isn't the best situation, but we can't turn on each other. Not now. Not ever. Like I said, I will so everything I can to save your brother, and keep you and Claire alive."

Zach didn't respond, but I got a small smile. That's all I needed.
"C'mon, let's go inside," I suggested.

Claire's POV

Gray was dying. I had lost my baby. Everything was running through my head so quickly. It was like I was suffocating in my own thoughts. I sat in the corner of the cave, holding my legs to my chest, rocking back and forth ever so slightly. The little ray of the sun lit half my me up, so my skin shimmered. Owen and Zach walked in, they looked tense.

"Claire? What's wrong?" Zach asked me.

"Everyone is dying," I whispered.

Owen's POV

"Everyone is dying," Claire whispered. As much as I love her, it was scary. It sent shivers down my spine.

"Claire, who's dying," I asked sitting down next to her, I rubbed her back trying to comfort her. It didn't seem to work.

"Everyone," she snipped.

"Can you be specific?" Zach asked.

"Clearly Gray will be dead soon," she gestured to the unconscious boy. Zach stiffened and he ran off. I should've gone after him, but I needed to make sure Claire was... sane.

"Claire, he won't die. And that's only one person."

"Someone else already died," she whispered so quietly I almost couldn't hear.

"Who? Who died?"

"Go after Zach," she ordered. We both stood up and before I could actually go and see if Zach was alright- he came up and punched Claire smack dab in the face.

"HE WON'T DIE!!!" He screamed, still punching Claire. I tried holding him back but it just resulted in me getting punched. I couldn't punch Claire's nephew, but then again- he was hitting Claire.
