Death And Love {Book 1}

Chapter 18

"Ava has been in there for a long time mum." I paused to look over the table. Mum had no expression what so ever. What was that about? "Maybe i should go check on her." Pushing the chair back so i could get up i walk over to the stairs and race up them getting a little worried. At the top i look back down at my mum, she just watched me with a grim smile. Okay, something is going on here. The walk to the restroom seemed to take forever. It almost seemed like time had stopped and my breathing slowed down to a steady beat barely audible to even my heightened hearing. "Ava?" I asked once i had gotten to the door. No one answered. I know that she can not have taken that long. Im not a girl but i have known my mum to not have even taken that long. And she has already had a kid!

"Ava darling please answer me." I spoke my voice coming out like an echo in a deep cave. Please dont  let what i think happened happen. She promised she wouldnt leave. My fear was quickly turning to anxiety and anger. Vision turning red, thats all i saw, red, right before i broke down the door. It was locked anyways and i am getting really nervous. "Ava, answer me." Scanning over the small yet average bathroom, i realise with dread that my worst fears had been confirmed to life.  The bathroom window was wide open and a small handprint was left on the window sill. Ava's small hands. It suprised me a little bit though, i mean, i knew that she was small, but i didnt know that she could fit through a small space like that. She had left this house to go see her best friend Jemmy. Ava doesnt know how dangerous and stupid that was of her!

That was a selfish act, she wasnt thinking of how it would affect me, her mum, our pack! It doesnt matter right now, what matters though is getting Ava back safe and sound into my arms again. That was the only place where she would ever belong and be safe. I smiled but quickly put on a grim face knowing what this would mean. "Mum! I am going to find Ava! She went to Jemmy's house to check on her." She promised me that she wouldnt leave though. I added in my mind. My mum didnt need to know that part, just that i was going to look for her. Pushing some of my blonde hair behind my ear, i run down stairs almost flying. My worry sparked in the air like firecrackers, my green eyes ablaze with determination. The woods zoomed by my face, the wind catching me in its grip, as i sped through. Sometimes i wish i had Ava's speed, it would help in so many situations like this. As if hearing my thoughts the edge of the woods came up into my view and i welcomed it with open arms smiling at the thought of holding Ava in my arms again, my Luna. The sun shone brightly through the many tree branches, at some points or another making me shield my eyes.

My feet thumped on street concrete as i sped down the road faster and faster. Ava was the only thing on my mind. If only i had seen this coming, i guess it shows that i didnt know her as well as i thought i did. Im such a crappy mate and boyfriend. It kills me to know that she may be in danger right now. Oh my...she could be worse than hurt! Wait no, i would have felt the pain, the heartbreak of losing her, her thoughts would have ran through my mind, her last pictures of vision would have been going on in my mind. Thank you Jesus, shes not dead.

Jemmy's house was coming closer into my view. The prestigious white house with lovely roses in the front yard, they were in full bloom. If this had been another time and another situation then maybe i would have taken the time to shoot a few pictures and smell the roses, but not right now. Not when my baby needs me. 'Jason Help.' Her soft voice rang inside my head like a million church bells were singing there musical songs. Something was wrong with the way she said it. My Ava, sounded scared. Whatever is scaring her she is putting up a fight with him. I can already hear the clashing of fists and smashing of glass on the floor. The heavy breathing and slight smell of human blood. My fists clenched and i pushed with all my effort to make my legs move faster. They did and moments later i slammed into the front door not caring who was behind it. It wasnt Ava, was my thought. 

"Jason Valentino, what a pleasure it is to see you again." That voice, my dream, Ava, it all fit into a puzzle i wanted to solve so badly. "Ive told you that a vampire doesnt fit in with a werewolf, you must understand that." He said smiling a cruel smile. His red hair spiked up in all directions and his face rendered most women speachless, but to men, it was a complete unspoken word of enemy. Anger boiled inside of me, but i didnt care for this man, i just wanted him dead for what he is planning. "Where is Ava? And Jemmy and Henry?" I asked, hate seeping through my words like venom from a snake ready to strike its prey.
