TARGET FOR DEMISE

9

This is a very very short chapter just couldn't really get the words for it. I really hope the next chapter is way longer. Again I am sorry for this short one.

"How are you?"

The Lord only knows how many time I have heard that question today. Today was the day to let dead souls rest in peace. To bury the most two important people in my life. Today was the funeral.

I didn't have the guts to watch them bury the caskets so here I was back in the chapel staring at the altar as if silently hoping this was a terrible night mare. A dream where I was dressed in an awfully long black plain dress that reached the bottom holding a portrait of my mum and dad on their wedding day. It was the only picture I found of them together. The rest have me in them. Five year old me hugging them tight outside the hospital where they agreed to adopt me.

The Canes were beautiful people both inside and out and now they were gone and I still have no idea how a wolf made its way to the middle of the city to attack an innocent couple and deprive me of the longest family I have ever had.

The person who asked me the question sighed and I hoped that the owner of the deep arousing voice would leave me be. Unfortunately his warm presence graced me by sitting next to me on the floor while I stared at the altar.

"It's time to go," Felix told me softly. I could feel his eyes bore holes at the side of my face but I refused to move. Go to where, to whom? Felix's dad said home would be a crime scene for the next few weeks till they find a clue on what really happened.

I haven't talked to anyone at the funeral. Amy and Luke tried to talk to me all they got was me nodding to what they said and they hugged me and cried on my shoulder where as I stood their frozen still comprehending that I was never gonna see my parents again.

I turned to Felix who was mindlessly glaring into space for some reason, his jaw was clenching in and out as he spat out the word like they were poison.

"Where are am I going?" I asked standing up and clutching the portrait in my hands hugging to my chest as I stared at him as he got up. He was dressed in a plain black T=shirt and blue jeans but still effortlessly looked hot from where I am standing.

I needed to get a grip and stop checking out the guy. Or how the shirt stuck in all the right places.

Damn.

I rubbed my eyes closed and cleaned away already stained tears.

It's done. They are gone and there is nothing I can do about it.

"My sister suggested you live with us for a while if that is okay with you." He answered still looking ahead.

He can stare at the side of my face for a while but can't look at me straight in the eye while talking to me.

"That is so kind of her. Of all of you, thank you so much. At least till everything cools down." I replied looking down to prevent anymore tears from coming out. This was a nice family.

Felix was cold and hard but he had a nice family.
