Lana's POV

My eyes widened as I stared into Eric's eyes as they rolled into the back of his head, his body falling slump onto the bloodied floor. The bullet hole that etched its way into his skull had left a deep hole in its wake, his blood splatter landing on those unfortunate enough to be at a close range, which was Xander.

A quiet shriek escaped past my lips after I witnessed Xander shooting Eric, shock written on my face. My hand covered my mouth as I turned away from the gut wrenching scene. Not wanting to see what would happen next, I immediately ran out of the area and down the hall ignoring the voices that were calling me back.

After turning a second corner I bumped into a hard chest making me loose my balance for a mere second. Looking up to see who I had bumped into I was greeted with the familiar brown eyed brother of mine.

A look of shock and guilt crossed his face as he continued to stare at me, taking in my appearance. Reaching up his hand slowly as if he were afraid that the small movement would scare me off, he placed his hand on the back of my head before pulling me into his chest.

"I-I'm sorry" he choked out as sobs erupted from my chest.

My arms wrapped around his waist as my hands gripped the fabric of his shirt tightly, afraid that he would disappear. It's been twelve years since I had last seen him,he was only ten while I was five, twelve years of loneliness ,abuse and anguish. After all those years he was finally here, with me in his arms.

"T-Theo" I croaked as I looked up at him, I probably looked like a raccoon with the amount of mascara that was dripping down my face.

"Hmm" he answered as he stared down at me wiping away the tears from eyes.

"Are mom and dad still a-alive" I whispered as I placed my head on his chest.

He was silent for a while as he stared into the distance thinking of a way to answer my question, wrapping his arms even tighter around me.

"No" he replied.

Nodding my head as I took in the words he had spoken, I bit down hard on my lip drawing blood as I tried not to cry. As I continued to persistently gnaw my underlip, trying my best to hold in the question that kept pestering me but I could no longer hold it in.

"How" I questioned Theo.

"How what?" He said confusion lacing his voice.

"How are you alive?" I asked.

"Lana, I think you should sit down for this" I heard Xander say from behind me.
