After that the shock has worn off-atleast off some of them-they decided that their best option was to get on the move.

"We need to be one step ahead of them. This is obviously a threat and we don't know how much time we have left before they attack" Ivana starts.

They were all now gathered in the training room, James and Leona have also been filled in with what has happened. Staying with her in the room while she was asleep, James stayed behind with the brunette to monitor and check if anything strange happened to her during her sleep.

"We need a plan" Blaze nods at what the blonde has just said.

"We can't really just go ahead and fight them, they'll be expecting it" Rhea adds as she glances around at their faces.

"That's why we'll need a leverage, something they won't be expecting" Ivana said as a smirk danced on her lips.

"What do you have in mind?" Dylan asked with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Every war needs an army, I say it's time we get our own" the smirk on her face only widens on saying that, but it only leaves everyone else confused.

.

Ivana was gone. After explaining what or who she meant by the army, she was on her way. She was on her way back to the 'hunters', because before her boyfriend died, he made sure she was second in command after him, that if anything happened to him, she'd be the one to lead the hunters the same way he did. He could only trust her.

"Hey"

After failing to find him in the lab, the green eyed girl went to look for him outside. And that was where he was, sat on the sidewalk infront of the house. Taking a seat down beside him, she doesn't say anything after that. Mainly because she wasn't sure exactly what to say.

"I'm sorry...she was really nice-"

"I don't want to talk about it" he whispered with a slight shake of his head.

"Then let me do the talking" she said softly.

And when he didn't argue, she continued.

"After that my father and brother died, I felt...destroyed. It was like this nightmare I kept telling myself that I'd wake up from anytime now. But it wasn't. And that made everything hurt more, I found it hard to talk, let alone move...but what I seemed to forget back then, was that I still had people that cared about me"

It was then that she noticed the necklace clenched tightly in his hand. His jaw was tight as he stared ahead, but she knew he was listening from the look in his eyes.

"I had my friends and my mother...it was bound to get easier with time. I don't know her or how close you two were. But she told me you were like a brother to her, and if she's watching over us right now, she wouldn't want you to feel guilty. Because it's not your fault"

His head snaps in her direction on hearing that, his eyes wide open in shock. He wasn't sure how she managed to read right through him like that. But she was right, he blamed himself for what happened to Sam. If he hadn't have brought her into all this, maybe then she'd still be alive.

"I blamed myself too for their death, but the thing is, it's no one's fault. Sometimes things don't happen for a reason, but sometimes they do. You just have to look for that reason and know that you're not alone. You have people that care about you..."

And he wasn't sure when it happened, but he was already moving in closer to her. He was drawn to her, like a moth drawn to a flame. She was the flame that blazed fire inside his cold heart.
