~Jenna's POV~

I scream as a jump scare appears on the dark screen. Daniel chuckles and pulls me closer to his side. I snuggle closer to his chest as we watch the horror movie. Another jump scare appears on the now dimly lit screen once again. I scream and hide fully behind Daniel. Everyone laughs. I move my face from behind Daniel and stick my tongue out at them. They laugh as I see, once again, another jump scare flash on the screen and I squeal, running out of the room. I enter the kitchen, which is connected to the living room and dining room.

I yell to them, "Who's idea was it to watch a horror movie anyways?" I hear a string of chuckles. I laugh in response and start to make dinner. I walk over to the stove and turn it on. I hear the pitter patter of rain lightly hitting the shingles on the roof. I feel arms wrap around my legs knowing it could only be one small human. I turn around and pick her up.

"Hey Ry!" I coo as I kiss her small forehead. "Why don't you go do the dishes for me so we don't have as many to do after dinner." I suggest as I set her down.

"Ok Jenni!" She runs over to sink, grabbing her tiny stepping stool from under the sink. She sets it up and climbs up on it, beginning to scrub the dishes. I smile as she does so and walk over to the stove which i well over a yard away.

"Jen?" Ry's small voice pops in my head. I hum in response. "What's that coming toward the window?" I hear the fear laced in her voice. I turn around to see a brick hurdling toward the glass window.

"Riley move!" I yell at her. I see her turn around toward me with a confused look plastered over her face. I run up to her with inhuman speed and grab her running over to behind the stove. For the split moment i could see the guys faces, they held confused and curious faces. I hear the glass break and the thud of the brick hitting the cupboard underneath the stove. I quickly get up, putting Riley on my hip, and run quickly over to the brick before anyone else can. I quickly grab it and see a piece of paper attached to it. At least it's not another grenade. I laugh at my thought then rip the paper off. I instantly feel Daniel behind me. I look at the bottom to see that Henry sent this. I quickly fold it, stuffing the folded note in my pocket.

"What was that?" Daniel asks, reaching for my pocket. I am quick to smack his hand away.

"It's a private note signed to me." I tell him, setting Riley back down and walking toward the door. I need to be alone to read this. Daniel runs up to me and grabs my arm, sending familiar sparks traveling through my body. I turn around and stare at him in the eyes with pity and plea.

"Can I be alone to read this?" I ask him, giving him the puppy dog eyes. He sighs.

"Fine," I slightly smile, "But you have to mind link me if anything happens. I'll keep guards in their places, no one will follow you. I promise. Just place come back soon." Daniel finally finishes. I nod slowly, my lips in a frown. He sighs and presses his lips gently on mine. I respond but pull away in a few seconds. I hear Daniel whimper and i make myself run out of the house.

I sigh as i quickly shift and run toward the waterfall. I feel my soft, black fur brush past nearby trees and bushes. I feel leave crunch beneath my large, heavy feet. I hear a stick snap. My ears perk up but i keep running. It was probably just a deer or something. The pack guards wouldn't let anyone past the border without permission. I shake the thought off and continue my journey to the waterfall.

I finally make it to the beautiful waterfall. The water flows down dark, silky rocks. The water splashes into the river, causing mist to rise, creating a light rainbow over the start of the river. I smile and shift back. I walk over to the edge of the river, sticking my legs in the cool river. I smile as my feet are now cooled down. I laugh as i notice i forgot to take off my sandals. I quickly slip them off and set them beside me. I sigh, knowing i have to read it soon, taking out the note from my shorts pocket. I unfold it with shaky hands.

Hey Jenna. We have come to a conclusion. We want to actually have a fight worth... you know... fighting, so we will wage war in exactly 2 weeks. This will give you time to train your little useless pups for a real fight. Ne they will remember forever. Oh wait, they can't remember it, they'll be dead. Now, just make sure you don't do anything rash and don't be too impatient. I know you're just dying to see my beautiful face. You have to wait, I know it'll be hard now being able to see my face...

Half a month.

Your Dearest Love, Henry


I laugh so hard at the 'can't wait to see his beautiful face' part that there are tears streaming down my face. I wipe my tears away quickly and sit back up. Half a month, I need to tell Daniel. I stand up, putting back on my shoes. I turn around to see a boy in front of me. Bellamy?

"Bellamy, is that you?" I question in shock and happiness. He slightly nods in pain. His eyes are bloodshot and his cheeks are tear stained. I quickly wrap my arms around his neck as tears pour out of my eyes. I feel my shoulder begin to dampen signalling he's crying too.

Bellamy was my best friend from my old pack. He's a year older than me. He was also friends with Jackson. We were like the three musketeers. I miss that.

I pull back and look him in the eyes. "How are you alive?" I question in shock.

"I escaped when you and Jackson did, but i was captured when i tried to follow you guys" He explains everything. That 'vision' I thought i had this morning. It was no vision. It was a view of what Bellamy was seeing and hearing.

"Speaking of Jackson, where is he?" I look down as tears start to form in my eyes. Bellamy pulls my chin up and wipes my tears away. He brushes my hair out of the way and kisses my forehead. I hug him tightly. He responds quickly.

"What if i told you there was a way for you and your mate to get stronger and for your pack to win the war?" Bellamy asks. I pull out of our hug in astonishment to see his eyes sparkling with delight and wonder.

"How?"
