Chapter 20 (Silver POV)

“Silver! Silver! Wake Up!” someone shouted loudly in her ear.

“What….” She groaned.

“Silver Kamarda this is serious. Get your ass out of bed, now!” said the voice she recognized as Damien’s. She reluctantly sat up.

“Silver, I’ve got bad news, Jenna Enriquez is dead. They found her body in the woods this morning” Damien said his normally sparkling blue eyes were stormy and grey.

“W-What!” she stammered. She’d fought with Jenna last night.

“Am I a…” she couldn’t continue.

“No, everyone saw her kiss Maika and you take off crying. He also said you texted him at about Jenna’s E.T.D. so that would make it impossible for you to be a suspect. Your name didn’t even come up” he replied.

“Dam… I can’t…. I need space” she said shakily.

“I’ll leave you alone, but not completely alone S.” Damien said, and then left.

Silver crawled under her covers. Finally the tears leaked out. Jenna was her friend; she was just drunk last night that’s why she kissed Maika. God why did they fight last night? Jenna died thinking she was a bitch. What a crappy two weeks. She’d found out her boyfriend, or whatever Maika was to her, was a werewolf. They’d kind of broken up, and her friend was killed.

“What the hell world?” she murmured miserably. Soon she went back to just sobbing for Jenna, for Maika, for everything.

(Maika POV)

Maika woke up with a killer headache.

“What happened last night?” he wondered out loud.

He’d seen Silver last night. He remembered the emptiness in his heart, the pure longing for the unattainable. Then he’d taken a sip from his drink, a beer.

‘Oh god I drank’ Maika thought. He tried to get up but an immobilizing soreness gripped his muscles. He’d changed last night.

“Not good” he said to himself.

Suddenly a banging on the door interrupted his thoughts.

“Mr. Maika Suliken” a gruff voice said, “we need a word with you.”

 Damien stared, wide eyed, at him from across the room; he must have been woken by the pounding. Maika slowly got out of bed, trying to ignore the pain in his protesting muscles, and answered the door. Two cops stood there, looking sullen.

“Mr. Suliken?” one asked.

“Yes” Maika replied.

“You are dating Ms. Silver Kamarda, am I correct?”  The other one questioned.

“Yes”

“Can you account for her whereabouts last night?” “

She was at the party, but she left before midnight”

“Can you tell me about the fight between Ms. Kamarda and Ms. Jenna Enriquez last night?”

“Why?”

“Because Ms. Enriquez is dead.”

Maika let the words sink in. Jenna was dead. The Jenna he’d shoved off of him after she kissed him last night. He’d seen Silver running in tears.

“You seem shocked Mr. Suliken” the first officer commented.

“Well a friend of mine died. I’m I supposed to be happy?” Maika snapped, angry at himself.
