The Other Side Part 2

46.

I quickly drove down the long drive way through the woods wishing to see the city lights already. I looked all around me making sure I didn't see him and had my windows down to hear for him. I felt my phone vibrate and saw a random number and knew it had to be Sarah.

"Hello?"

"Melanie it's me!"

"Where are you? Are the twins okay?"

"Yes we are fine we are about ten minutes out of the city we are at a little store I had to buy a phone. Where are the boys?"

"They are back at the house Bruno was there and I have Sonia and Tony with me now, Sonia knows what the antidote is but Bruno knocked them unconscious."

"Okay we will wait here I'll make sure they are okay and hopefully she'll be awake by then."

"Okay I'm on my way I'll be there soon."

I hung up and press the gas pedal all the way down reaching the city. I drove quickly yet carefully through the highway making it to the edge of the city. I was so worried thinking about the boys and Bruno fighting.

I drove down a long road leaving the busy city seeing the woods a few miles on my left, in the distance I could see a light knowing it was the little store I quickly pulled in and seen their car. I jumped out my car running to it and saw the doors open and it was empty. "Talia! Preston!"

I ran to the store and the doors were locked. "Shit!" I ran my hands through my hair trying to calm myself down.

"Sarah! Alice! Where are you!" I screamed hearing my voice echoed. I looked around me trying to see anything that shows me where they gone. In the distance I seen something small and red. I ran as fast as I could towards it and picked it up seeing it was one of Preston's shoes. I looked up and stood a few feet from the woods.

"Oh no." I ran in pushing past the twigs, jumping over rocks and logs. I made it to an open field and looked around. I cupped my hands around my mouth as I screamed even louder "Talia! Preston!"

"Melanie!" I heard my name being called in the distance.

"Sarah?" I called again trying to figure out which direction it was coming from. I heard some noise coming from in front of me, the full moon was bright but not bright enough for me to see.

"Sarah?" I said as I walked closer. Two bright red eyes shined right in front of me. My heart beat picked up as I slowly walked backwards. He stood on his hind legs as she walked out from the bushes towards me. "P-peter, baby it's me." He was still walking towards me. I tripped over a rock causing me to fall back, I began crawling backwards. He got down on all fours bringing his giant teeth right in front of me. I was up against a tree having no where else to go. I could see my reflection in his red eyes.

I was breathing fast feeling my chest fall and rise quickly. "Peter p-please remember me." He looked deep into my eyes and lowered his head looking down at my belly. I looked down as well confused. He sniffed it and backed away a little, I put my hand over my stomach hearing a tiny heart beat quickly beating. "W-what?!" He looked back up to me and softly growled.

"Melanie!" Alice screamed causing Bruno to quickly turn towards her.

"Freeze!" A cop yelled across from her and we all looked seeing about five men with guns pointed at Bruno.

"No don't shoot!" I screamed trying to get up. Bruno stood back up and let out a loud howl. The men all covered their ears. I stood in front of Bruno raising my hands up.

"Please don't he doesn't mean any harm!"

"Ma'am step away from...from...whatever that is!"

"No she's telling the truth you're only making it worse by pointing your guns at him!" Alice said running next to me. I turned around looking up to Bruno he showed his teeth to the cops as drool fell from the sides of his mouth. He then looked down at me. I slowly stepped closer Alice grabbed my arm, I looked back at her and gave her a nod letting her know it's okay.

"Goodbye sunlight

Hello dark skies

If you walk away I'd have to say, yeah.

Goodbye sunlight

Hello dark skies

If you walk away..."

I softly sung to him, he slowly lowered his arms and got down to my level. I walked closer as the cops lowered their guns not believing what was happening right now. I carefully raised my arm up and he growled at me causing me to step away.

The cops raised their guns up again, "No wait!" Alice said pushing their guns back down.

"I know you Peter. And I know you can fight this." I said as I stepped closer again. His ears lowered knowing he was slowly coming back to me. "Come on, you can fight it." He closed his eyes and shook his head and punched the ground making me step back again. He looked up at us and stood back on his legs.

"No Peter!" He growled loudly to us making the cops point their guns back up.

"Fire!"

"NO!" I cried out.
