[26] dusts

"Jourdan?" I look up to find Calum, even if my eyes were blurry from the tears that have been spilling out of my eyes. I'm pretty sure it was him. He sat at the edge of my bed and he looks down to his feet.

We came back afterwards, with Safeira's lifeless body on Acer's arms. It was heartbreaking to see such a sight, to witness a death of a friend. Especially to see the faces of the people she left, especially to see her dad crying for the first time and Acer suffering from the loss of his first love. It breaks me apart.

"How's Acer?" I ask him, since my coward self was too scared to go and look after my brother. "Your mother has been trying to calm him down," He answers.

"What about Zeus?" I ask about Safeira's father. He shifts from his seat and looked over me. "Your father and Zeus are drinking around the island."

"Why are you here, Jourdan?" He asks this time and I wipe the tears off of my cheeks even if they won't stop pouring.

"I failed, Calum. Another death happened because of me. I didn't look over them. I didn't protect the pack." My voice breaking midsentence, but I was able to finish my point and cried. Calum scooted closer, looking at me. His hands immediately found it's way to my cheeks and he did his job, to wipe off my tears.

"Look, Jourdan. It's not your fault. Okay? It was mine. I should've looked over my pack, not you. I should've protect you, and look at me, you're the one who's saving me. It's such a shame, Jourdan. But please, don't blame yourself. Safeira died a hero, her life was worth lived." He explains and kissed my temple afterwards, he wipe my tears one more time before standing up and offering his hand.

"C'mon, let's go see them and we have to plan. We have to save Ashton too." He smiles and I nod, taking his hand and we both left my room. It sounds funny, that we're saving the person that killed two of our pack. I know it's not Ashton but everytime I will look at him, I know I will feel the urge to slap him across the face. Acer will kill him, Acer have temper issues and even if he knows it is not Ashton, he will kill him. 

Calum led me to the underground where I think the meeting would be held.

And I was right, there I met my friends and my father. Seems like they have been waiting for us to arrive. Renee came to me and gave me a hug, saying that it will be okay soon. Michael gave me an apologetic look and I nod, while Luke just stood there like he was too scared to even move a muscle. I understood him, he knew he did a lot of mistakes and I don't know what he's trying to do next.

"Where's Acer?" I ask my father, as he sighed to my question. "He's with your mom." I nod and proceeded to look over the pictures, pictures of people that have been victimized by the werewolves. The bad wolves.

I went through pictures, until one caught my eyes. I took it and scanned the face of someone familiar. Familiar but I can't remember. I turned to see the backside and there was a familiar writing written on it.

"Jordan Seth. Taken 02-24-'96."

I thought they literally burned everything that reminds mom my older brother? How come they still have this picture?

"When Jordan died, and you came along. Your mom and I thought that it would be better to find you a brother. To protect you, from all this. Acer came along and the adaption papers were all okay." I bit my lower lip as I started to cry, I felt arms wrapped around me and for a second I thought it was Calum. It was my best friend instead, Renee.
