Friday 8 days until the ball.

The sunlight hit my closed eyes. I opened them, to see that I was in the living room. Anna in the middle between me and Owen. Krytlen laying over the three of us. After Anna cried herself to sleep yesterday, we moved her here. Not having the energy to move her up the stairs.

I looked over at Anna. Her black hair sticking to her pale face. I sighed as I took my hand, and wiped the hair away from her face.

"How did you sleep?" A rough voice whispered.

I looked up to see Owen looking at me with his big brown eyes, with red mixed in. "Not to well." I looked at Anna, and asked my question. "How do you think she'll deal with this?"

There was a sigh. I tore my gaze away from Anna's sleeping form. "I don't know. She's dealt with groups being murdered, but this is different. This was her mate, her other half. You only get one, and for it to be ripped away from her so young, and so violently. I really don't know."

I heard footsteps approaching the living room. I turned my head to the entrance. Rose was standing there with a worried expression. Her eyes are glued to Anna. After a few seconds, her eyes move away and she looks at Owen and me. "Could you two please step out for a few minutes. I promise it won't take long."

I nod my head. I then remove Krytlen from my lap, and move her so her head is on Anna's lap. I get up from the couch, Owen close behind. We walk out of the living room, and into the kitchen. Everyone is already there. Dark circles under their eyes, faces blachy.

Rose went to stand next to Griffen. Griffen wrapped his arms around her. Griffen was about to say something, but was cut off by commotion coming from outside the room. I turn my head, just as Alex, Cross, and Crystal come rushing in.

Alex looks frantically around. His gaze lands on Eve. They don't move, it's as if they are the only people in the world. Then without warning, they run to each other, knocking shit over in the process. I am not cleaning their mess up. Alex had his arms around Eve, and is spinning her around in a circle. Eve squeals, and laughs. When he sets her down, he kisses her, as if it would be the last one. Well, if clothes start coming off, then it will be there last one.

When they break apart, they are both breathing heavily. I clear my throat. They both jump at the sudden noise. "Well, if you'll are so eager to get in each other pants, then please go get a room. I really don't want to see my older sister pop the weasel, on the table that I eat." I say it so calmly, and without cracking a smile or laughing.

Everyone laughs, but Rose. She grumbles about how that's not really lady like, but crakes a smile.

"It's good to see you haven't changed Ace."

I turn my head to see Cross with an amused smirk on his face. His arm over Chris's shoulder. I give him a smirk, and nod my head.

Rose cleared her throat. Everyone's attention turned to them. Griffen ran a hand through his dark hair. "Cody's funeral will be today. Along with all the other warriors that died yesterday."

It felt like the air in the room got sucked out. That all things filled with happiness, joy, and beauty, aren't existent. Good people like Cody don't die that young, that violent. It's not fair!

"Are you sure that having the funeral so close to his death, will be a good thing?" Westly ask.

Izzy nodded her head, and leaned against Arnold. "Yes. Anna needs closure, and the sooner she has that, the better off she'll be."
