Chapter 8

Aria's P.O.V

As soon as we hit our body, all we saw was gold and there was so much pain that I screamed. As soon as I stopped screaming, the pain was gone, my vision was normal again, for a moment, I forgot where I was, then I remembered, the five wolves, me fainting, then me dying... Kind of, Moon Goddess which insisted on being called Rose, Mum, Dad, seeing Chase and Justin crying, Andrew. "Andrew!" I whispered. I bolted up in bed. I didn't realised some shocked people came in. I didn't hear anything. 'That's because you were to busy trying to remember what happened.' Laughed Saph. 'Oh, shut up you!' She just laughed harder.

I rolled my eyes. Then turned back to the people outside the room I'm in. I looked around the room, everything is either broken or shattered. 'James, has to be.' I said to Sapphire. 'Of course, who else will trash a room when their most closest, and most favourite sibling, die for a few minutes.' Said Sapphire sarcastically. I looked back at the people outside the room and see them still shocked and slowly walk out of the room. I saw they walked, or more stumbled backwards with each step I took towards them.

When I'm three steps out of the door frame, I asked, "Can you take me to Alpha, please Beta and can you get my brother Andrew?" Asked a familiar person, the Beta that found me and Andrew. He didn't answer for a moment, but he did open and close his mouth a couple of times, like he couldn't find his voice. 'I wouldn't blame him!' Sapphire said causing me to inwardly chuckled. I finally get an answer. "S-Sure, I-I'll t-take y-you t-to th-the liv-living r-room, t-this w-way!" The Beta stutters. I cocked a eyebrow at him. 'I think we were temporally dead for more than a few minutes! Giving to their too shock and pale faces. They look like they seen a ghost and then there's the stuttering? What do you think Saph!' I asked her. 'I think you maybe right and it does feel later than it did before we want into that 'trance' as Rose called it!' I just inwardly nodded, seeming with every move I make, seems to scare them more, but I followed the Beta anyway.

After we reach the living room, the Beta turned to the others that slowly followed. As if I might disappear into thin air, like Rose, Mum and Dad did and the Beta said some what more calmly now. "Michael g-go get Andrew a-and I'll go g-get the Alpha." He said to a tall 6'3, light brown haired, hazel eyed boy. I'm guessing the age around of Chase's and Justin's, 19. "And the rest of you guys can go, except for Ethan, you'll have to check her out, while I'm getting the Alpha." The Beta said to the rest of the group and they dispersed while their eyes are on me.

Once I was out of their eye sight, I relaxed slightly. "Your a-a little tensed, a-aren't you?" Asked a guy called Ethan. He's looks to be late twenties, early thirties, 6'1, black hair, but his is more duller than mine, and brown eyes. "Yes, you could say that... If you don't mine me asking how long was I out for and as to where I am? I know I'm on White Warrior territory but that it's?!" I asked. "No, I don't mine. Your in my house, I'm the pack doctor here and you weren't out, you were dead for, like, a good an hour!" He said seriously, all stuttering gone now. "Now can I do a check up on you?" Ethan asked. "Yeah, sure, but first can you get me a mirror please? I need to check something!" I asked. He went to get his kit and a mirror for me.

I pull my shirt down over my right shoulder to see a clear golden mark. "Well, that explains the pain." I said to no one in particular. "What pain, you look fine?" Ethan asked, confused. "When I woke up, all I saw was gold and then all I felt was pain, now that I think about it, it was mostly in my right shoulder!" I say in a seriously tone, covering my mark again. Ethan didn't say anything he was to shocked to say anything, but he did a check up on me regardless.

When he was done, I hear the Beta walked in the house with the Alpha, "This has to be good, Matthew, because I paper work I could be finishing and if this isn't important, you'll be doing them!" Whom I'm guessing is the Alpha said. "Trust me, it is!" The Beta, Matthew. I think his name was, said as they came into view and gestured to me. The Alpha looked to me, then back at the Beta, about to snap something at him, but very quickly turn back me with open mouth. "You'll want to close that mouth of yours Alpha and staring isn't polite." I say to them, because they were all staring at me.

They quickly snapped out of it. "W-When did this happen?" The Alpha asked Matthew and Ethan, gesturing to me. "A few minutes ago Declan. I already sent Michael up to get Andrew." Matthew said softly when Michael came down with a sad and tear strained faced Andrew. "Andrew, look in the living room!" Said Michael while looking at me, then at him, then at me again, giving me a silent message that it will take Andrew a while to look on his own. I just nodded to Michael. "Andrew?" I said. His head immediately snapped up to meet me.

"No, it can't be, it can't be you?" He said hoarse whisper. "It's me, Drew, me and Sapphire!" I say softly, while Sapphire reaches for James. Andrew gasped when he felt Sapphire comfort James and looked at me again. He had fresh tears in eyes, his knees got so weak, I can see them shaking, as he dropped to the floor as the tears spilled over. I walked over to him, completely ignoring the others, cupped his face with my hands and wiped away his tears. "It is you!" He said weakly. I just nodded my head, grabbed his hands, helped him up where he pulled me into a hug and he buried his head in the crook of my neck. I lead him over to the couch made him sit because I can't hold his weight any longer.

As he sat, he took me with him. While he cried I'd whisper soothing word to him to help calm him down. When he couldn't cry any longer, he was weak and exhausted. "Michael, can you show me which room was he staying in please!" I asked Michael, he just nodded. I nodded back and whispered to Drew, "Come on little brother, let's go to bed!" I said to him. He didn't have the energy to reply. I got off his lap, put an arm under his shoulders pulled him up. "I've got him." Said Alpha Declan. Ethan went to go have lunch with his mate a while ago. When we get to a room, I got in and sat my back against the head board and Andrew managed to get in on his own, put his head on my lap. I sensed that he couldn't find sleep, so I started to run my fingers through his hair, silently telling him I'm not going anywhere and he was fast asleep after that.

I knew the Alpha and Beta wanted explanations, so I quietly said, "I know you know you want an explanation on how I'm alive and what are we doing here in the first place, but can it wait until Andrew is rested and not looking like he's the living dead? Please! Because what I can take in front of me is that Andrew didn't tell you very much, did he? Because I want to say this story once and once only!" "No, he didn't tell us much, only that you were abused at your old pack, but that's it, and as much as I don't want to wait, but I'll do as you say. When do you think we'll get an explanation?" Alpha Declan asked. "Sometime tomorrow at the latest!" I replied. The Alpha just nodded his head and left with the others, leaving me with Drew.

After a few minutes, I carefully woke him, "Sorry, Drew, just let me lie down and we can go back to sleep." I said to him quickly, still too tired to answer, he just moved a little for me. I made myself comfortable on his chest and within seconds we both fell asleep.
