The Curse of the Crystal Heart

Chapter 16: Cold💧

Catalya

"They're gone", Melody said entering the room. "Do you think they went to the war?",she asked looking at me. I did not answer. I just simply looked down and I could feel the sadness swimming around my body. I knew the answer. Everything I say does not seem to reach that boy's ears. Why was stopping the war so important to him? Why does he have to be the one to stop it? My brothers are with him it's like everyone feels the need to put themselves in danger. Well I got news for them if any body's dying it's me. "We have to go",I say.

"No we can't.  Not in the state that we are in",Annabelle said stopping me. "We have to",Kristella agreed with me. "I haven't told him yet", I blurt out. "Why!?",Annabelle yelled. "You don't understand. How do you tell a seventeen year old that he is going to be a father?", I say. "It's not like he is an ordinary seventeen year old",she said  rolling her eyes. "I don't have enough energy to zap us there",Melody said. "I have a way", Kristella said.

We followed Kristella  to the  garage.  She opened the door and inside was  a Beetle. "It's pink", Annabelle said disgusted.

"Kristella I need you to do me a favour in case something goes wrong",I said pulling her aside. There was more Rogue had said that night that I just couldn't let go. I can't believe I'm listening to her but it's best to be prepared.

"Why do I have to sit in the back?",Annabelle whined. "You're pregnant! ",Melody and I both yelled. I looked out the window admiring the beauty of nature. 'I'm sorry Leon. Your sister is such a disappointment.'

"I cannot believe he went", I said frustration floating through my body. "I actually do",she said and I glared at her from the passenger seat. "I mean he lost everyone so close to him and now he might lose-",she paused. I knew what she wanted to say. I have come to terms with it. It is time others do to.  "He might lose me",I completed her sentence.

There was a huge gush of wind that threw the car upside down." Lya are you okay!?", Melody yelled scars on her face. I watched as they heal.  Mine couldn't do that anymore. "I'm fine help Anna",I said.  She managed to get Annabelle out of the car unharmed. My seat belt was stuck so I couldn't get out. "Princess,we have unfinished business",Scotts voice boomed over the crash site. First Rogue ,now him. How much of my blood do these people need.

"The Princess is a bit occupied. Looks like you are going to have to settle for me instead", Melody said standing up. Rogue jumped out and the two started fighting.

Annabelle tried to help me with the seat belt. "Lya your leg!",she screamed. She was pointing to the iron rod that pierced through my leg. "I can break it",she said and I nodded for her to go ahead. She ripped the seat belt off and broke the iron rod. She pulled me out of the car (  the other half of the iron rod still in my leg). Melody was winning the fight until Scott interfered and did the most unimaginable thing ever.

He snapped Rogues neck and her now lifeless body fell to the ground. "You killed your own sister!!",I yelled. "She got in the way. She was delaying my plans ", he smirked. Melody was reaching her limits. She couldn't take him on her own. "What are your intentions Scott?", Melody asked. "I thought you would have guessed by now. You vampires have such an incredible ability of speed yet you are so slow", he still has that smirk on his face. "I'm just trying to make sense of this",she said breathing heavily. She's stalling.

"You even kill family", she said. "The Night - howlers are just the start",he chuckled.  "The Maria pack and the Night -howlers are the two strongest packs in the world. If I conquer them the rest of the packs will be a breeze",he said ,sharing his vision. "You will never be on the same level as Ambôine ", I said irritated by his schemes,his killing and that voice of his.  I ripped the rod out of my leg . I swifted until I was face to face with that monster and I drove the rod through his chest. I watched as he dropped to his knees. That smirk still on his face. It made me so angry that I pushed the rod in deeper. Finally I let go. That felt to easy.  My vision blurred. Cough-cough . This time my whole hand was covered in blood I could feel it. "Lya!",Annabelle yelled and both she and Melody rushed to my side. "I'm fine. We need to keep on moving ",I said limping. "We have to walk",Annabelle said. "Doesn't matter. We need to get to that war zone as in now ",I said taking lead. "No,we cannot ",Annabelle said stopping me. "What do you mean by cannot ",I mocked in frustration. 

"A you are blind", Anna responded. "What makes you such an expert?",I asked. My blood boiling from the fury and adrenaline inside of me." You were heading the wrong way",Annabelle said. She was right I couldn't anymore. I dropped to my knees. Cough-cough . There was so much blood everywhere. A huge ache striked against my chest." Aaaaargh!!",I screamed. "I think I have enough to zap us to the war zone",Melody said. "Are you sure?",Annabelle asked. "I can try",Melody said grabbing both mine and Annabelles hands. "No save it. We might need it just in case something happens",I say through gritted teeth. "Are you sure?",Annabelle asks. "Yes",I assure them. "I can do this I have to try",I say forcing myself up.

"You have to stop fighting",Grey was trying to reason with his father . There we were standing in the middle between two clans. "He's right. This war is pointless.  It's all part of Scotts plan. He wants your attention away from him",I explained. "Lies! No son of mine-"

"Believe it,dad",I interrupted him. "Father don't let your pride lead us to our deaths. You are better than this. Leon wouldn't want his name to be remembered along with this event",Julian tried convincing his dad. He didn't respond he remained staring at the ground. He looked straight at my dad with disgust and then raised his crossbow. Before anybody could stop him he made his shot. I tried to save my dad by pushing him out of the way and  the arrow hit me instead.

I could feel the arrow pierce through my chest . A cold shiver rushed through my spine as I dropped to the ground. "Noooo! ", I heard a scream her voice before I closed my eyes.
