Raven

Twelve!!

Raven's POV.

As soon as the fight broke out I shifted and flew into the nearest tree, knowing I wouldn't be of any use to anyone on the ground, especially me being a bird, I would just be in the way. I looked around noticing the never ending line of wolves attacking them, and with Scarlet being a newly shifted wolf she doesn't know how to attack properly or defend. Even with that she was doing okay. Brendan and Orion soon killed off most of them as the rest just ran off. I kept on looking at them and as I saw them shift and head back inside I looked for Scarlet, I didn't see her anywhere. I flew around the whole yard looking for her when I finally spotted her, laying on the floor, barely breathing. I shifted and soon sat down infront of her and settled her head on my lap, stroking her blood covered hair.

I felt like crying but I didn't I needed to be strong, and somehow heal her.

"Oh, no!" I heard Brendan gasp as he saw me sitting here. I heard them come closer but I didn't do anything, I knew Brendan would try to help. Orion on the other hand would probably laugh with joy.

I saw Brendan sitting down next to me and take Scarlet's hand in his own. Whispering things I couldn't quite hear. Or maybe I couldn't understand them, I don't know.

I looked up at Orion and saw anger and regret flash in his eyes, as well as guilt. When he saw me looking at him he masked his face and became stone again. It was too late I wanted to know what he had to do in all of this.

"What did you do?" I said, anger clear on in my voice, he looked at me shocked, and then shook his head.

"What are you talking about?" He said and tried to play it off but I could hear a tone of nervousness underneath all of that.

I'm guessing so did Brendan.

"What did you do Orion? Tell me? Now!" He said and I could see a trembing in Orion and smelled the fear flowing off of him in waves.

"I didn't do anything. My mast-" he said, cutting himself off, fear visibly seen on his face as he took a step back. I saw Brendan let go of Scarlet's hand and stand up.

"Orion. I will ask you once and you Will answer me or I will slaughter you, best friend or not. What did you have to do with this!?" Brendan practically growled.

I looked back at Orion and saw him trembling, clearly not knowing what to do when Brendan suddenly grabbed him by the throat, picking him up and holding him up mid air. Even though Orion was gasping for breathe, he still didn't say anything.

"I can't believe you, Orion. You come here wounded, apparently attack, seeking help from us and when we help you. You somehow get a group of rouges to attack us. Not only injury you and Brendan, but my best friend is laying here in a puddle of her own blood. From an attack you knew of. You're a coward that deserves all the pain you will deserve once S-Scarlet DIES!! I want to see you bawl your eyes out, I want you to feel like your heart is breaking, being torn to shreds and knowing that the one person who can heal it for you is dead will only cause you more pain. But I think the fact that you know you played a part in the murder of Scarlet will haunt you forever. I hope that there's not a day that will go by where you regret what YOU have done-" I said and took a deep breathe to both calm myself and to keep myself sane. I looked up at Orion and saw him gasping for breathe.

"I-I, A-a-aam, a-a, tttrraa-trai--traitorr." He spoke through gasps of breathe. Brendan released him and out of shock or anger I don't know, punched him in the face. I heard a loud crack when all of a sudden I saw Orion go limp and fall to the ground. I almost started laughing at how pathetic he was, passing out like that.

I turned back to Scarlet and as Brendan took hold of her hand again and started whispering words I didn't understand I saw her wounds begin to heal slowly. I heard her heartbeat also stabilizing and pick up in rhythm. Her breathing became normal again and soon I saw she was looking better, healthier.

I looked at Brendan in awe. Not knowing what he did, but wanting to praise him for the rest of eternity. He just saved Scarlets life. He looked at me, looking exhausted but pleased.

"She just needs to sleep for a while to regenerate and gather her streght before she awakes. I think I need to sleep as well, so will you carry her to her room. I'll go put that piece of garbage in the basement and tie him up so that he doesn't run away or anything, then go to bed as well. You can stay if you want, I don't care." He said and with that, stood up and picked up Orions leg, dragging him into the house knocking him against everything and giving a small chuckle when a groan of pain escaped the unconscious' mouth. I gently picked up Scarlet and carried her into the house and to her room, gently laying her on the bed and climbing in next to her. I was thankful Brendan allowed me to stay, coz I would've stayed anyway, but having his permission is better than sneaking around. I drifted off to sleep waiting for Scar to wake me up.
