Chapter 4

Racing down the halls, I followed after the piercing scream. The screeching bounced off of all the walls, making it almost impossible to locate where Lavender was. I could feel Blake breathing down my neck from how close he was running after me.

When I heard the screeching stop, I made my way to the door where I could hear whimpering and pleading cries from the other side. I paused to gain the courage of what laid behind the hinges. I felt a hand on my back but knew it was Blake from the tenderness of the sparks that ran threw me.

"It’s okay. I'll be here." He said so quietly that no one else could hear. I smiled faintly before I slammed my palm into the door with all of my might, making the door crack down the middle and split in half. As I watched the door crumble to the ground, I heard a sound all too familiar to me. A tazer turning on.

Sprinting into the room, I looked around and noticed that all that surrounded me was empty hospital beds and straps hanging off the sides. As my eyes traced over all of the beds, I saw one was holding a person in it. Dashing to the person strapped on the thin bed, I felt a tazer on my side catching me off guard and sending me plummeting straight to the floor.

Cranking my neck to look at who it was that was controlling the tazer, I was sure that shock was evident on my face even though I should have already known who it was. Behind the weapon I saw my very own flesh and blood, my mother.

Her brown hair was now in a wild state, with every strand of hair sticking out in every direction. I saw that her face had become pale and her lips blended perfectly with her icy skin. She looked like she should enter a physic ward. This mother wasn't the same one that just disowned me. This version of her was almost crazed, as if she was captured in a cage and couldn't escape.

As I stared at her dumbfounded, she stalked towards me with a menacing glare of distaste on her face almost the exact look that Jacob would give me. How could I have not seen that look on her before? I shuttered before jumping to my feet and giving her a determined look.

"I hoped you would come for her." She said in a deadly voice. I couldn't believe she was like them! How could she do this to me? Why would she do this?

"What have you done to her?!" I asked while taking a glance in Lavenders direction to see that she was balling her eyes out with a coating of blood covering her whole body. I was beyond angry.

"I was told that you misbehaved. I thought I trained you better than to talk back to people." She said while giving me a disappointed look. I scoffed at her, I wasn't a puppy that needed training.

She lunged at me with a curved knife in her hand. Just as she was almost close enough to plunge the knife into me, Blake tackled her in the air just before slamming her body on the dry bloody ground.

It was like the world paused for a brief second, while I could just watch in horror as the blade entered his chest making his eyes bulge out of his head. Imminently all of the blood started pouring out of him like a geyser. When she started to get off of him, it felt like time sped back up. I charged at her while she was staring down at Blake with a proud smile stretching across her pale face.

Ramming into her, I sent her flying into the wall on the other side of the room. She got up from the cracked wall and just swept the dust off of her before she sent me a murderous glare. I just stood with my mouth gaping open. How didn't she feel a thing of what just happened. Before she could come at me though a voice breaks us out of our fight.

"Sweaty, I told you not to harm anyone other than the friend. Now what have you done? We have to clean up this mess now." I turned to see Jacob standing on the broken door while staring at my mother with amusement clear in his eyes. I was bewildered. As Jacob made his way to my mom, she looked starry-eyed.
