Chapter 5
Carter's POV
Fireflies roamed around in the dark night freely exploring the forest greenery. The scent of pine trees filled my nose making me comfortable to my surroundings as i lay on the ground staring up at the abundant amount of stars and pointing out their constellations to myself. I have been out here for hours wishing i could just live out here forever. I had to come home eventually having to accept the fact that my beloved mate was gone somewhere better now, far away from this cruel world. Straining back my tears, i propped myself up on my elbows and looked around the tree filled area.
I stared at the flames of the fire i had build up a while ago, wondering how it felt like to be in its ember. Burning along with that hopeless feeling when you're broken. I pulled out my phone to check the time; 3:32 A.M. I also saw 6 missed calls from my mom ignoring the notifications cause she will just add on to my stress right now. I stood up and walked around the forest trying to clear my mind and cool off. Snap! I stopped and looked around to see where the source of the branch snapping came from, feeling like a complete idiot realizing it was just a squirrel. "Stupid shit" I muttered. I spotted and smell a scent of nearby roses and wildflowers all in one flower bed from the direction the squirrel ran out of. Suddenly a great idea had switched the light bulb in my head to turn on.
Kora's POV
"Mommy! Guess what?!? I made you a macaroni necklace in school today. I squirmed as she walked in the door home from work. "Aww, thank you Kora". She slipped on the necklace and pecked my head as she walked in the kitchen to greet my father. They were mumbling about something towards each other. I didn't mind or really cared cause i was having too much fun with brushing out my doll's long blonde hair, humming a tune i learned at school today to myself. "Row row row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily merrily merrily merrily, life is but a- ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" My eyes widen in fear as i saw my very own mother being thrown across the dining table, struggling to get up she soon charged for my father her eyes dark as midnight could get. He just let out a snort thinking that she could actually face him off. I screamed running towards him yelling "STOP STOP DON'T HURT HER". "NO KORA GO BACK!" Was the last thing thing heard my mom say before i myself was thrown to the floor screaming in pain as deep claw marks burned my arm. He just stared at me and laughed...he laughed at me while staring at my blood on his claws. My eyes were starting to close, but i forced them opened with all the might my little 6 year old body could manage. The most horrific thing that a person would ever witness would be their mom's throat being ripped out. "Happy early birthday sweetie..."She croaked as she took her last breath. My eyes then forced themselves closed.
The word birthday was being chanting over and over again, my mom's face popped up with her saying the same line she said before she fell asleep forever. "Happy early birthday sweetie..." Then the numbers 7 and 4 were visible to my mind.
I shot awake instantly my eyes wide panting hard. "It was only i dream, calm down" my wolf told me. I wanted to curl up and cry my brown eyes out.
Carter's POV
It was the crack of dawn as i looked up to the sky seeing the darkness fade out and the sun pushing it's way up into the horizon. It took me a very long time to pick out the prettiest flowers and gathering them in my hands ignoring the thorns that stuck into my palms as i was walking back the the campfire that has now died off. I found a rubber band in my pocket tying the floral items together creating a giant bouquet, I pulled out my wallet and took out a picture of Tania.
Taking one long look at it before placing it on top of the flowers. I gently place the whole thing down in the wooded barrier made by what used to be the campfire. "Tania, i'm so sorry i didn't come and fight with you in battle. That has to be one the regrets i will never let go, i'm sorry for not being there. But i had to be there for my sister...she was suffering so bad i had to help her..." I had a feeling she could here me from where ever she was, i pleaded for forgiveness hoping she would see how truly sorry i am. After her little memorial i set up, i thought it was time to go back home.
The door creaked slightly as i pushed it open carefully not trying to wake anyone up. I tiptoed up the stairs about to go to into my room getting some sleep until i saw the lights of my father's study on. Usually i wouldn't care, the mention on Kora's name got my attention. Curiosity took over me as i crept slowly and stood outside of the door frame listening to him talk to my mother about something. "Its July 4th tomorrow" My father said with a ferocious growl. "Yeah and?". "You stupid woman, its Kora's 18th birthday tomorrow." He spat. "Why would we care about that useless wrench's birthday" She scoffed. He let out a big sigh in frustration.
"Her 18th birthday is her strongest shift yet, it can give her so much power you don't even understand Laila. She has a special characteristic about her that could give her more power than i will ever be able to hold. We need a plan to get rid of her without anyone noticing, I been having feelings that Carter's been on to whats been in the basement. Letting his mate die while she was screaming for us to help her was hilarious. But that should keep Carter's mind occupied for a while until we handle Kora". He explained to my mom.
"You let Tania die..." She trailed off. I could'nt believe what i just heard, i felt all the anger rise through my body. Imaginary steam shooting out of my ears as i swiftly moved back to my bedroom. Sitting on the bed with my hands running through my hair roughly hating my parents with a deathly passion.
