Trapped between two lifes

Chapter 3

I was laying on my bed, when I heard Emma's giggling.

Our rooms were colse to each other, which is why I could listen to them clearly.

'Stop tickling me you moron!'said Emma in a high pitched voice.

'I'm doing this on purpose to hear the sweet sound of you laughing.'Ronan told her and from what it seems continued tickling her, since Enma kept on giggling.

At least some members of this pack were happy.

'Emma, close your eyes.'ordered her Ronan.

'Should I be afraid?'she asked playfully.

Even though I'm not the type of person who enjoys gossiping, but I was actually calmed by the simplicity and pureness of their love and truth be told I was also a bit curious as to what would happen..

'Wow, it's beautiful Ronan! I'll never put it off my neck.'

'It's a charm my mom gave to me and well she made me promise to give it to the girl that'll be the one for me.'

'Ohh Ronan you're so romantic. I don't know what I would do without you. I love you!'

'I love you too, even though you are quite annoying most of the times.'

'RONAN!'yelled Emma and the giggling started again.

I wish things were that easy for me and Ethen too. He's become so distant recently and he's so cold towards me. I hope we can find a solution as soon as possible.

I got out of my bed and headed towards the window to admire the raw beauty of the landscape. The beauty of the woods soothes my heart. It was afternoon and the sun was about to set. The sky was a mix of orange, purple and blue. I sat on the couch next to the window and kept on looking outside.

I started noticing peristently an unusual light, until I realised what it was. I watched as it suddely started growing bigger and bigger and smoke rising up to the sky. I immediately knew it was a fire.

Without losing any time, I run downstairs, screaming that there was a big fire in the woods.

'What? Are you sure Layla?'asked me Ethen, full of terror.

'Smoke is closing in.'said Vincent confidently and continued: 

'Kate, call the fire department! The rest of you come with me to see what we can do. Ronan, Emma, Cora come downstairs right now.'

I was sad that their beuatiful moment was ruined, but our main priority now is to protect our ground.

We were all gathered outside of the house, watching fearfully the fire was coming closer. We went on towards the fire, to assess how dangerous it was. That's when I heard Ronan saying:

'Has anyone seen Cora? Cora!!'and we all started shouting for her.

Vincent scanned the area with his eyes and after seconds that felt like an eternity, spotted Cora layed beside a tree. He immediately run to help her and when he brought her closer to us , he said:

'She's wounded. Girls hed on inside and take care of her, while we'll try to contain the fire. I really hope the firefighters to arrive any minute now.'

We took Cora inside and Kate started applying her therapeutic cremes on her burnt skin.

Her face was smudged by the fumes and she also had small burns on her arms. She was still unconscious.

While I was looking at her, my eyes fell on a small piece of paper that was hastily tucked in her jeans.

I hesitated taking it at first, because I thought that it could have been something personal, but I thought that it could also be an evidence, so I took it. I unfolded the paper and I saw big red letters forming the sentence

"Either Layla is with us or with no one else"

I cannot believe they did something like that. I really did not think they were capable of causing something that bad. They crossed every line. I will end this fued here and now!
