The Little Grey Mare (Completed)

Chapter 19

I woke up sprawled on the floor. Dam it not again. I've been doing that sense Calumbo died. I had a dream last night. It was a good dream though. I haven't had one of those sense I was 9. This dream was almost real. It was Calumbo. He came to tell me something. 'Don't forget about us. We need you to stay strong. Do not be afraid. Kandy and I believe in you. I love you' Was all he said before he kissed my cheek and faded into my regular occurring, herd massacre, nightmare.
If they believe in me well then I have to prove them right. My name is Cara Winters, and I will not be afraid. Almost immedetly there was a burst of power flowing through my veins. I walked out of the cave and to the ashes. I counted the meters and dug up the rubble. Sure enough there was the reenforced steel doors. It creaked as it opened and light soared into the empty room. There use to be supply's in here. That's weird. I jumped down and into the, escape passage apparently. I followed the pathway which was slowly beginning to light up. I stopped. Voices. Scents. Horse shifters. I walked faster a smile breaking onto my face. I stopped when I reached the railing. Workers everywhere. Someone grabbed me from behind. They put a cloth to my mouth and I was out cold in 35 seconds flat.
I woke up in an interrogation room. A woman stood up on the other side if the table. "How did you find us? Where did you come from? And why are you here?" She asked. Her curly blonde hair lines her face and pushes out her brown eyes even more. "Is it a crime to come back to my old herd to set my mother and father free. Seeing as they, the Leaders, died for it in the first place" at this moment in time I had pushed away the chair, slammed my hands on the table while now being held to the wall by a body guard, while I was fuming. She looked shocked. "What were the names of the leaders of the herd?" "Dad was Alex and Mum was Maria." I said looking at the ground. Ashamed I couldn't have helped them. "You really are Cara, aren't you?" I nodded. An idea popped into my head."I know who attacked us. It was the celestial herd. See?" I handed her the note she looked up fuming "If you and your army help us defeat her. I will officially make you lead mare of the BlackNight herd." She smiled a genuine smile. Then asked "Theres something else you're not telling me. Why else do you really want to kill her? " I frowned. "She took something else that mattered to me. My family. Mum. Dad. My mate. And made them graves up there" I pointed to the ceiling because were clearly underground. She frowned. "I didn't tell the council because they wouldn't believe me if I said: my mate, the brother of the second strongest alpha in the world, was killed on their territory by the Celestial Herd. Would they?" She shook her head. "We will fight with your herd." She said. "Also my guards will take you back up there. And here's my number for when the fight will take place." Handing me a card which I slipped down my bra, while being ushered out by her. "Oh and the name is Rosie, by the way"
We finally got to the top after weaving in and out through several hallways and doors. I nodded a thanks to the guard and he walked back down the stairs inside the shelter. I shifted and strolled back to my car. Time to go home. I shifter back and walked to my car making sure I still had the card. Hey things like that and money get lost easily. Okay I still got it. Let's go home. I drove home in content. Happy that most of the herd have survived the attack. But proud that my parents saved the herds life. I made that 3 hour journey home and collapsed into bed.
             I woke up at 4:30 in the morning. Guess I'm not going back to sleep. I just decided to wander around for a while. I was walking past Neva's office but there was a light on in there. I peeked in. She was there looking over her little balcony. "Neva? Are you okay?" She sighed. "I love him. But I don't want him to be hurt. He deserves someone better. I never wanted a mate for this exact reason" I walked over to her. "I understand. When this is all over, I'll see what I can do" She smiled. It wasn't her usual 'you are so dead' smirk, this was a genuine smile. "Wanna come out for a run?" She nodded and jumped down from the balcony.
               We got back about 3 hours later. Most of the pack were already awake so we just went upstairs to my kitchen and I made fruit salads while Neva sat and watched TV. We ate about 6kg of salad. And yoghurt. And ice cream. And another 6kg of Athena's cookies. And then donuts. Then pizza. They were so nice. After breakfast I walked down to my office. I gotta decide a date for the battle. I looked at the calendar but when I saw what day it was. Calumbo's birthday. I walk over to his desk and took out the present I got him. It was a full set of daggers. I saw them when I was in a shop getting my new hand made sword Calumbo got me for my birthday. The blades on the daggers were silver. The handle was the same silver but there was a grip on this. The blade was twisted. There were 4 parts to the blade. Front. Back. Left. Right. The blade started twisting about 3cm down from the handle. They were just meant for show. But I have a different purpose for them. I picked up one of the knives and flung it at the calender. In three months, 6th of August, this dagger will be driven through that bitches temple.
