**********

I ran as fast as i could out of the pack house, discarding the fact that id even dropped my spell book in the hall in my haste, and ran across the backyard.

The only thought in my mind was 'why?' and my only emotion was disbelief.

Helms hasnt alluded the CAO and survived all this time by just coming to an area where CAO agents are stationed. Why is he here? Is he even really here?

my mind was completely engulfed in confusion which was mixed with shock when i came to Mich standing in the forest with Kenzie beside him.

Mich turned as i approached and threw out his arm to halt me. "Dont get any closer." he ordered.

I paused in my running and stared when i saw Robert Helms himself standing not a few yards from Mich in his signiture lab coat.

my shock was instantly replaced with anger and i tightly balled my fists. "What the hell are you doing here?!" i snapped.

Aproaching footsteps rushed to us but i ignored them and glared at Helms.

Helms slowly looked up and smirked. "Harmony Kensworth. Now its been a while since ive seen you." He said with his Romanian accent.

"How do you know my sister?" i heard Brendon ask from behind me.

"Oh i know her well." He said. "It would be odd not to know her considering the fact that she killed me."

i gripped my fists so tightly my nails threatened to break skin. I dont like this. Hes too happy. With all the lives this bastard has stolen and ruined, what right does he have to happiness?

"Stop with the happy go lucky voice!" i snarled.

His smirk widened. "Ah so my cheerful aditude irritates you?" he asked in a mocking tone that made me want to tear his throat out.

"After all the pain youve caused? Of course your cheer irritates me you son of a bitch!"

"But youve caused pain as well." his hand moved to his abdmon. "Stabbing someone often causes pain."

"This is ridiculous! We all know why youre here so just come at me!" i challenged.

"Harmony." Mich warned.

"Oh believe me i would love nothing more then to watch my children tear you limb from limb." he said gesturing behind him and i realized there was a rather large group of zombies gathered behind me standing motionless.

I grinded my teeth. This guy really pushes my buttons with minimum effort.

"But there appears to be something blocking my entrance." he raised his hand and pressed it against nothing but it looked as though his palm was being pressed against glass. "A barrior i presume. One to keep the dead out?"

"Whats it to you." Mich muttered.

"Well its quite powerful. A creation of Miss. Kensworth i am guessing." he turned to me.

I glared coldly at him.

He tsked. "So angry. Has merely two years changed you so? although i suppose much has happened." he dropped his hand and folded it behind his back with the other. "I can tell youve embraced your witch side."

why is he talking like this is a reunion?!

"What do you care?!" i snapped.

"Well it would be nice to know the potential of my soon to be servent."

i couldnt help but tense up at his words. He couldnt possibly know about my curse could he?

"What are you talking about?" i demanded.

"Harmony." Mich said in a warning tone.

"Well a little zombie, as you people call them, told me that one of my creations bit you and it became a brand of the Akito curse." his eyes moved to my arm. "I presume thats it."

i shifted so my arm so it was behind me.

"State your business." Mich ordered. "Why are you terrorizing this pack?"

"I would like to know as well." Archer said stepping forward.

Helms turned to Archer. "You must be the Alpha."

Archer remained silent.

"Well Im merely punishing the members for housing my slayer." He said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Why them?! Why not just me?" i snapped.

"Oh your time will come but first i wish to make you suffer with guilt. After this pack is done ill be going for that little pack of yours that you and Alpha Michael care so much for."

i ripped my gun from my belt and rush forward raising it so it was aimed for Helm's head.

"Harmony dont!" Kenzie shouted.

"Give me one reason this slaughterer should be left alive." i said.

Helm grinned despite the gun pointed at his head. "Because if you kill me then a hundred of my beautiful creations will scatter across the town and kill humans and werewolves alike."

that was hardly reasom enough for me to drop my gun instantly but i didnt shoot.

"Do you really crave venaence so despreately that you are willing to let thousands to pay the price?"

i hesitated before lowering.

he smirked. "Good girl."

i snarled angrily.

"Well i simply came to see if Miss. Kensworth was truly present in this territory. Good day." he said bowing his head and turning to leave.

I quickly turned to Mich. "Mich!" i exclaimed.

He sighed. "I know. . .but--"

"No buts! Youre letting him get away!"

"I know. . ."

i shook my head and stormed away. Last thing i want to do is watch a monster like Helms walk away.

I know all too well that there isnt anything we can do at the moment but i cant just watch him get away.

What i dont understand is why hes here? He could easily take over the country with his zombie like creations and yet he insists on terrorizing the Haven pack. . .

I stopped walking. Maybe it isnt the Haven pack. . .maybe its me. . .

I smacked my palm on my forehead. Of course its me! Hed practiclly said it! He plans to make me suffer with the guilt of causing the downfall of the Haven pack then the Harthwood pack and then endure the humiliation of being his eternal servent.

I shook my head. Before he takes down the Haven pack i will destroy him and this time ill make sure hes done for for good.
