Jackie
I am torn.
That is the easiest way to describe how I am feeling. I stare at Zack with terror in my eyes, knowing I should be in there fighting to save Roslyn and my brother.
But something keeps my feet frozen to the ground beneath me.
I simply can not move.
My brain and my heart are in a violent battle inside of my body.
My brain tells me to jump in there and help my brother and best friend. It tells me to fight like I know how because I know we will win with more numbers. It tells me to continue protecting the people I love

My heart tells me to stay here and protect Zack at all costs. Keeping his far from the fight is the best possible scenario I can come up with. I would be absolutely broken if something were to happen to him. Then again, I would be shattered to pieces if something happened to Roslyn...
Before I even have the chance to decide exactly what I am going to do, Zack sprints across the forest, getting in there to help win this battle.
"Shit!" I shout, running in after him. I guess that makes my decision easier...
Now not only do I have to get in there and help Roslyn survive this, I also need to protect Zack's dumb ass because he decided to get himself involved in a vampire and werewolf fight!
Ugh! Why can boys think every once and a while? Why do they always just react without thinking of the pros and cons?
He's going to get himself killed!
I should have never gotten involved with Zack. Now I have put him in a terrible situation. He is going to die and I am going to have to explain to his parents how he got killed without revealing my identity. I am going to have to pretend like his death isn't going to make me want to jump off a bridge and end my own life(not that it would work) even though just the thought of losing him is a crushing enough of a blow to my heart.
I never should have allowed myself to fall for him. I have only put him in danger.
Author's note: do you see the parallels between Jackie and James' inner thoughts about their relationships?
