Divided

"CASSIA LETS GO!" Dylan shouted in my ear. The smell of smoke filled my nostrils as we ran hand in hand out of the burning building. People were everywhere, baby's were screaming, and tears clung to my cheeks. When we were finally out of the pack house I saw them. The rogues. My heart skipped a beat and my feet could no longer move. They were  horrid everywhere, cackling like hyenas as they set fire to our house. I felt a fierce tug on my hand pulling me out of my reverie. "Cassia come on! We cant stop lets go!!!" He screamed with frantic eyes. I just shook my head side to side staring at him like I had seen a ghost. My mouth was agape as I tried to fully process what was happening. Without warning Dylan picked me up bridal style and ran with me. He carried me to the underground meting room. He pushed me in and served look out as I carefully stepped on each rung of the ladder going further into the ground. Once I was down he climbed in. He closed the hatch and the door made a secure Click that assured me we were safe.

"were is mommy and daddy?" I said as new tears formed pools on my cheeks. I crumpled against the stone wall sniffling. Dylan immediately came to comfort me. With his back to the wall he rocked me back and forth sitting down. I curled up to his chest and let him whisper soothing words to me. Just as I began to calm down the hatch lifted. There was rogue peeking in on us. He started to reach for me and I tried to cling to Dylan. He was no longer in the room, he had disappeared. The rogue let out a sinister laugh still reaching for me. "Cassia" He sung teasingly trying to reach me. "Cassia, Cassia, Cassia'".

"Noooo!" I screamed out just as I opened my eyes. I looked around groggily. I wasn't underground, I was in my room, and a rogue wasn't reaching for me it was Holden. I calmed down a little and my breathing slowed.

"You had the dream again didn't you" Holden said wiping the hair stuck to my forehead away. I only nodded recalling the horrible dream. " Well your okay now?" Holden said looking at me with kind eyes while rubbing my arm. I sat up propped on my elbows and nodded again. "What time is it?" I said rubbing my eyes. I hated morning face. Holden laughed at my sleepy expression. "Its time for you to go train" He said pointing his finger at me in a fake accusatory stare. I Hopped out of bed. "Oh Shit! You let me sleep till 12:00!!!" I said while running to my dresser.

"I thought you wanted the extra sleep" he said shrugging watching me run around the room. I tugged on the stubborn dresser to retrieve pants and a shirt. "Not this much sleep!" I said as I tugged the pink T-shirt over my head.

"Sorry, besides that wasn't the only reason I let you sleep." he said mischievously grinning. I jumped into my pants and tied my hair into a pony tail. "Oh really, what was your reason?" I said as I opened the door. Holden came up behind me and whispered in my ear. "Because your sexy when you sleep." I immediately thumped on the back of his head frowning.

"Hey! Just saying." He said holding his hands up in defense. I smiled at him and rolled my eyes. Holden always had a way of making me feel better. I reached out for his hand and he gladly interlocked it with mine. We had a semi quiet walk down to the training room until Holden stopped. "Wait!" Holden said looking alert.

"What!" I whined, clearly annoyed with him.

"Lets get lunch, you haven't ate yet-." he stopped in mid sentence and looked down on me. "What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't get you lunch" He said smiling bright eyed at me. I reached up on my tippy toes and pecked him on the lips. "A very bad one, now lets go have lunch." I said, re entwining our hands.

--------------------------------------------

"But Dylan!" I said in whining tone. Dylan sat across from me and Holden at the little cafeteria table. He sternly looked at me. I hated when he did this. Ever since we lost our parents to the rouge attack he's been the 'over protective older brother' type. I began pleading again. "Dylan I promise you I wont cross out territory and I wont stay out past nine. That's reasonable, right Holden." I said turning to him giving my best puppy dog eyes. He stopped shoving his face in his sandwich and looked at me.
