Just in that moment the door bursts open and guess who storms in? My brother. Who else would it be? How can he dare disturb us like that?
I feel myself getting angier with the second. I clunch onto Olivia. She flinches. Oh I think that was too strong. I loosen my grip a bit.
Then I fixate Logan. He talks to me through his thoughts.
Logan: Am I interrupting anything?
He smirks at me.
Me: Whyever would you think that?
My voice is full of sarcasm. I notice Olivia looking at me. I better talk through thoughts as well.
Logan: We have a problem. The banshee.
Me: Kyla? What happened?
Logan: She just called...
Me: This better be important!
Logan: Well if you would rather make out with your girlfriend...
Me: Shut up!
Logan: Well like I said before you interupted me she called. Jasper is dead.
Me: W...what? He's...? No!!!
Logan: They are in the woods. I'd go there if I were you. Kyla sounded very scared. She said the murderer was probably still there.
Me: You know that she's alone with a murderer and you stand here blabbing?
Logan: I sent Nik, he can protect her. Greg is waiting for us outside. Tell Olivia and let's go.
Me: Olivia, erm. Something happened...Jasper, he
I swallow. She knows what I was about to say. Olivia turns pale and shakes her head warrily.
Me: Do you want to come? They're in...
Olivia: I know. They told me where they wanted to go.
She stands up and walks towards the door. I follow her. At the door I take her into my arms. Then I speed into the woods. I follow Logan, Kyla described her position to him. Greg is right behind me. In seconds we are somewhere next to a little path. There is a car. Jasper's car. Olivia looks around. I hear someone sobbing. Very distant though. Olivia can't hear.
Me: She's that way.
I point to the left side of the path. Logan sends Greg ahead. We follow. Then I see her. She's sitting on the floor, sobbing. Olivia runs towards her and hugs her. I advance them. Oh no. Jasper is there. Next to them. Olivia. Please don't turn around. But she does. Olivia turns even paler and she backs away slowly. A tear rolls down her cheek. I wrap my arms around her and try to soothe her.
Me: Shhh Liv. It's...
All right? No it isn't. Okay? It isn't okay either. I have no idea what to say. Kyla stood up by now and Olivia let's go of me to hug her again. I don't cry. I never do. It hurts though. Jasper was a very good friend and a great person. If it weren't for him I would've never met Olivia. Why him?
Logan: Oh that's the good question. Another one would be...
Nik: Why didn't you predict his death?
I didn't even see him. He's good at blending in. That's why Logan recruted him. It's insensitive to ask right now. But I did wonder.
Olivia: Err, what?
Oh no. I totally forgot that she didn't know. No one told her. Kyla shakes her head and tells her that they woyld talk about that later.
Logan: Hurry there is a wolf out there...and wolves trafel in packs.

VampireBlood, so much blood. The moss under his head is full of it. I look into his eyes. Cold. Empty. That can't be. No. He promised. I shake him and beg him to wake up, but he doesn't. He's just lying there and staring into the sky. He's so still. I feel...
