Hunter's POV

Driving back to the house that I lived in for a total of two weeks, with a group of vampires was the highlight of my day.

When we arrived all I could do was walk up to the door and stare at it.

The police took down the tape around the crime scene so I could go inside to gather my belongings.

I walked in to see things scattered everywhere. Old frames broken on the floor, shattered mirror, books laying about. What monster would do this?

"Are you alright?" Leo asked me. I turned and gave him the most heart broken face I could. His eyes showed sadness for me.

"Take your time." Spencer said to me. I nodded and headed upstairs to my room. I looked at a room I hardly recognized. This place didn't even feel like home.

Time to pack.

-

Packing took longer than I planned but I got finished within 3 hours. I carried all the boxes downstairs and the boys were piling them into the car.

I walked around the house one last time to make sure I didn't leave anything behind. I saw my mother and fathers wedding rings on the counter. They must've taken them off before they.. Never mind. Don't think about it Hunter.

I grabbed them and put them on my cross neckless. Something to remember them by.

I couldn't get the dumb neckless back on until warm hands grabbed it from me and clasped it on. I turned to be faced with my mate.

"I'm so sorry love. You didn't deserve this." He says with a sad tone. I grabbed his chin and stood up on my tippy toes to kiss him.

"It's not your fault. No matter how much this sucks, I have you and my wonderful friends to help me through this." I said with a small smile.

"You're amazing Hunter." He said with a cheeky grin.

"I know." I said cockily. He rolled his eyes and kissed me again.

Liam and I walked hand in hand to the car and got in.

"Ready?" Spencer asked. I just nodded in return. We sped to their house back in the woods. Once we finally arrived the boys carried in all the boxes in one trip. Impressive if I say so myself.

"Hey darling." Piper said to me when I entered. Keeley saw me then gave me a giant bear hug. Then she saw Leo and got all awkward again. I then saw Avery standing by the stairway.

"I'm sorry Hunter." She said. It was one of the few times she showed me compassion.

"Thank you." I said to her and them all.

"Do you need anything?" Zack asked.

"No I just need to be in my room." I replied quietly. They all nodded with understanding. I walked into my room I've stayed the past two nights in. The gray walls making me depressed, the large dresser looking just as empty as I feel, and even the lifeless bed which brought me only sadness. I cried silently and began unpacking.

It took me a while but everything I took from my home.. old home, was in its designated place. The room looked a little better but nothing I would like living in.

I turned towards a wall where I hung a picture of my mother and I.

"Why?" I asked the picture.

"Why would you leave me alone like this? Why leave me with people I hardly know? Why keep secrets from me? Why lie to my face everyday for the past 17 years? Why didn't you tell me I wasn't completely human?!" I ask screaming the last question.

Someone came from behind and pulled me into a hug. I looked up to see Leo. I continued crying.

"Shh it's okay Hunter, you're going to be okay." He said while rubbing my back.

"Why does this hurt so much?" I asked him hoping for a useful answer.

"I wish I could say." He said disappointing me.

I sighed looking anywhere but at him. He lightly pulled my face to look at him.

"Hunter this is difficult. I know how you feel. My parents died when I was 18. I was sad and alone, then I met Keeley and discovered who I was. It's difficult to come to terms with it but you can do it. The road ahead of you is long and painful but you have to keep fighting. Don't let them win." Leo said trying to bring life to my eyes.

"I don't know Leo." I said honestly.

"Dear, the life us Draca's live is difficult but we will manage. I am here now so you won't have to do this alone. We are gonna train, we will learn who we are, and we will be prepared for what is to come. This isn't going to be easy but we will do it, together. You got it?" He said firmly.

"Got it." I said with something I haven't felt for days now.

Hope.

Leo's POV

I couldn't help but feel absolute pain for Hunter. I left her room after she fell asleep on her bed. I walked outside in the back yard to I could be only with my thoughts.

She didn't deserve this. After giving her my little pep talk I see it helped some. But she doesn't know yet. She doesn't know that Dave will do anything to get her. He will make her a vampire, she will loose her mate, she will be something complete different, she will never be the same. I would know. I haven't been the same since I've turned.

But she's so pure. She doesn't deserve to be a vampire, or lose the man she loves. She deserves to be happy. And I am prepared to do whatever I can to make that happen.

It hit me.

I have the urge to save her. I've had the feelings to make sure she's safe ever since I saw her. I don't know if it's because she's a Draca, or because she seems like something worth saving, but I am sure of one thing.

I am her protector.
