I woke up and saw Jasper lying right beside me sleeping peacefully and watching his chest move up and down from his steady breathing. 

I then jolt up in bed and immediately regret it as I hold my head from the pain I was feeling. It felt almost like I had a hangover. 

Suddenly, I remembered what happened. Jasper had just got done proposing to me, I said yes and then.....we were attacked. 

The bedroom door opened up and in walked mom, dad, Rosemary and Peter. They smiled in relief when they saw me awake. 

"Oh my god, you're alive!" I hear Peter tell me. 

"Of course I am." I smile. "What's going on?" I ask. 

"You and Jasper were both injured badly and were close to dying. But then Rosemary saved your guys' life." Mom says. 

I look over at Rosemary and smile at her. "Thank you." I tell her. 

"Of course. I'm just sorry about my father and...." She began and I stopped her from continuing as I began feeling anger beginning to build. 

"Your father." I interrupt her. "Where the hell is that bastard!" I began while not caring that it was her dad or not.

"We're looking for him." Dad says. 

"You mean you had him here and let him escape?" I asked upset which happened to wake up Jasper. 

"Why are you yelling?" He mumbles under his breath while slowly waking up. Then he does the same as I did and jolts right up. "Oh my god!" He says panicking. 

"Calm down man." Peter tells him as he holds him down by the shoulders and calms him down. 

"Baby, it's okay." I assure Jasper as he calms down the moment he looks over at me. 

"Are you alright baby?" He asks me while cupping the side of my face. 

"I am. Rosemary saved our lives." I tell him. 

He looks over at Rosemary and smiles while mouthing, 'thank you'. She returns the smile. 

"What is that?" Peter asks while pointing to my ring finger on my left hand. 

I look down and smile big as I feel Jasper take my hands with his. 

"Well, before the attack yesterday, Jasper and I were out on a romantic picnic and he proposed to me. And I said yes." I say while hesitant and a little worried about how my dad would react but surprisingly, he wasn't yelling?

"Oh my god, I thought you were never going to ask her." Peter begins to joke. 

"I know." Jasper starts to laugh. 

"Congratulations." My parents both said to us while giving us a hug and welcoming Jasper officially to the family. 

"Well, we'll leave you both to wake up and get yourselves together. So we'll meet you guys downstairs when you're both ready. But take your time." My mom tells us. 

"Thanks." I tell her. 

Everyone then leaves the room and leaves me and Jasper to ourselves. In which I still can't believe we are alive right now, I thought for sure with the damage we endured, we would die. 

"How do you feel?" Jasper asks me. 

"I feel okay. A little bit tired but, good. You?" I ask him. 

"The same." He smiles at me. 

"We should probably get ready and head downstairs. Hopefully my parents have come up with an idea of what to do." I mention. 

We both get up and take a shower together. Which feels really good knowing that we can and don't have to worry about getting caught together. 

I really am grateful for what Rosemary has done in saving mine and Jasper's life and I know that the man I want to kill right now is her father, but still, it doesn't change the fact he sent a couple of his friends to do his dirty work. 

Once we finish getting ready, we both head downstairs and see my parents, Peter and Rosemary sitting down in the living room talking but stop and look at us as soon as we enter the room. 

"Perfect timing." Peter tells us. 

"What's going on?" I asked confused. Then I looked over out the corner of my eye and saw Rosemary's dad come walking out from the hallway. "You!" I shout out at him while trying to charge towards him when I feel two hands hold me back.

"It's okay. Calm down baby." I hear Jasper tell me in my ear. 

"I know he's done some wrong recently but, he has an idea in how to fix it." My dad explains. 

"And how is that?" I ask while folding my arms over my chest. 

"I have contacted several warlock's that I have known all my life who we can trust." He began to say. 

"Like the one's you sent after us?" I interrupted him. 

"No and as far as the ones who attacked you goes, they weren't meant for you two. However, they won't listen to me. They're more focused on dark magic and actually used me to try and get to my daughter." He says with guilt in his eyes as he looks over at Rosemary. 

"Why do they want her?" Peter asks. 

"Because of her abilities and the rare gifts she has. She has mine and her mother's blood in her and that poses a huge threat to not only our kind but to everyone else's, including humans." He says looking down at the floor. 

"What do you mean?" Peter asks him. 

"They belong to a type of society who for centuries have believed in the prophecy of there being one witch that would become ruler of all things and both the human world and ours. That's why I have tried everything to keep her inside and safe from others finding her. These warlocks are types of hunters that enjoy inflicting pain and suffering on others. That's what they did to her mother." He says with pain on his face and looks away to catch the tears he was trying hard to hold back from falling. 

"But I thought she was killed by wolves?" Rosemary says in confusion. 

"She was. But I later found out that it wasn't wolves. I mean, it was but, they were under the warlock's control. That's why I left recently on that trip I took when I left you? One of my good friends who is the master of both dark and white magic, asked me to meet him to explain to me exactly what all was about to happen. Then when I found out that you have been out and with a wolf at that, I panicked." He says apologetically. 

"What's going to happen? What do you mean?" Dad asks him deeply concerned. 

"It's a war. But not like any other we have ever prepared to face up against. And it involves your son." He tells us. 

We all look at each other for a moment lost and confused at what he's talking about still. 

"What about Peter?" Mom asks him. 

"Your son is also part of a prophecy and is the only one that will be able to end this war that is about to happen. Only he has the ability to end not just this one, but any other war that should happen in the future."


Next chapter will be posted soon! :)    Oooooo, I wonder what kind of a prophecy. :);)
