Collide

Chapter 7

After that Day, Alex and Lucien's Relationship steadily worsened. He believed Mal Should have been killed just as May had been, Where'as Lucien Believed neither should have Died. Violet Stopped and hadn't shown up since that day and Hazel didn't want to Live in her own home as it was filled with Sin. Mal had forgiven hazel For Everything Violet had done so she had let Hazel Stay in her Extra Bedroom, While Astral Lived Next door Just as a Precaution.Violet could  Show up at any time and they had to be prepared. Hazel Had frequent nightmares about the things She had done with Violet in Control, She often Slept With Her dagger Underneath her pillow Gripped tightly in her hand, because she believed someone from Violets Past Would Harm her.

One night Mal Went into Hazels Room after Hearing Her Scream. One of her  Nighmares Must've Awakened her she thought . Mal Began To Shake her trying to Wake her up. Once about a minute had Passed Hazel awoke with a start, Instinctively she pulled the Dagger From under her pillow and pushed it into her 'Attackers' Stomach. Mal screamed as the Blade Was Pushed deep into her stomach and Crumpled onto the hard wood floor beside the Bed. Lucien Heard her Scream and Came running into the room, he stopped in the Doorway as He took in the Scene. Mal lay In a Puddle Of crimson, a pained expression on her face as her bright red eyes began to loose their color. Hazel sat Beside her In a Panic

"what happened!" The She-Wolf Turned towards the Male demon at the sound of His Voice

"I-i Don't!" She Couldn't look him in the eyes.

  " S-she startled me!, I didn't mean to!." She Said as Lucien ran to Mals Side.

"Don't worry, You'll be ok" He Said, Not sure if he was trying to Convince Mal or himself. She Looked up at him and shook her head .

"I-i Don't think s-so Lucien" She Said as she began breathing shallowly then Not at all.

     Astral Woke with a start as she identified her surroundings, 'A Dream, It was a Dream' She Thought as she stood up from the floor where she had Collapsed the day before. Although she knew it was a Dream,
That Fact didn't make her feel any better some would call her a Psychic as her dreams usually Came true. She Pulled on her Midnight Black Jeans and faded Skull tank top then pulled her long Brown Hair Into a Ponytail, 'I've gotta Speak to Lucien About this' She thought as she Left her home and Walked Next door. She had been about to knock when Lucien Opened the door with a Yawn as he had just woken up. She look at him her Expression Serious,

"Lucien i need to talk with you, Now" Her Voice Had a Dire Note to it. With a nod he begun to follow her to her house.Soon they were Sitting In her LivingRoom, Astral Turned her Gaze to

"Last Night, I had a dream" These few words had Lucien listening intently, As he had Seen in the past when astral Had a dream, It usually Came true. She Sighed as she Recalled her Dream.

At First Lucien Couldn't Respond, he Sat Back and Sighed

"We cant let that happen" she Nodded

"Theres only One thing i know of that we can do.

" Lucien Watched Her intently Listening

"Take Away her wolf" His eyes Widened

"Is that even possible?" she gave a slight nod

"The Method hasn't been taught for Thousands of Years, But I had been Taught the Method" he Nodded and Sat Forward

"Alright The Easiest place to do it would be the forest, We'll need to Lure Her there somehow." Astral Nodded as a Thought occurred to her

"Your Brother Alex, Hazel Is His Mate Yeah?" Lucien Nodded

"Yeah, but What could he do to help? And why would he?" Astral Shook her head

"He Could Ask her to meet him in the Forest Where We'll be waiting" She sighed

"As for how we'll get him to agree, well just Leave that To me"

***

Two Hours Later found Astral at Alex's Door-Step in a remote part of the Inresep Forest,

"Alex!" She Yelled her voice echoing through the Pine Trees. A Shadow Loomed Over her as a Voice Sounded

"Astral? What the Hell Do you want?", She Let out a Sigh

"We Need your Help Alex" He Growled as a Red glint appeared in his eyes

"Who's We?"

"Me and Lucien" She Left Mal Out for now in hopes he would say yes. A bitter laugh emitted from the Half Wolf.

"Now WHY, would I help my Brother?" Astral Sighed she had hoped not to resort to this.

"Because There's something in it for you"

"Oh?" She has his attention now "What Exactly Is in it for me?"

Astral Left With a Determined Look in her face, Alex had agreed to help them after he found out what Astral had to Offer.
