##Malia's P.O.V.##
      "Guys, come on!" Matt yells, running ahead of us, "Only a couple yards left!" We've been running for nearly 4 hours, and I was exausted. Carter, Taylor and Adia looked like they were all about to collapse, and Cameron looked worse. If we don't stop soon I think it's gonna take a toll on all of us.

      "We're here!" Matt exclaimed, stopping a few feet ahead of us. I heard Taylor sigh in relief, and I grab his arm, pulling him the last few feet.

      Matt set Cameron down on the ground in the middle of a large circle painted on the dirt ground. "Guys, get in the circle, quick!" He said, "I'm getting us out of here!" I jumped inside the circle along with Carter, Taylor and Adia. Matt started whispering some wierd words and doing weird movements with his hands over the circle. I nudged Adia. "Is he on drugs?"

     She cracked a smile and shook her head. "He's using the powers of the circle to transport us to an old friend." "Of the circle?" I snap, "It's just a circle painted on the-"

     The air around us suddenly picked up speed, spinning around the circle. It spun faster and faster as Matt's chants got louder. That's when I realized it wasn't the air spinning, it was us. We spun so fast that I lost my balance and fell backwards, knocking over Carter, which sent a chain reaction kind of like dominos. There was a flash of white light, and the spinning stopped.

    "What just happened?" Taylor groaned as we all untangled ourselves from each other. "You transported here, to me," a familiar voice said. I looked up. My jaw dropped. "Laura?" "Hi Malia. Long time no see, huh?" I nodded in disbelief. "Yeah. What happened, where were you?" "I'll tell you eventually, but I think it's best to attend to your friends first," she said, pointing behind me. I turned around. Cameron was still unconscious, and Matt looked like he was about to pass out. The rest looked completely exausted, like they were awake for 5 weeks straight. "Yeah," I look back at Laura, "We should help my friends."

    Laura nods and says, "Boys, please get the vampire. Matt, get your mate to help you. Malia, by my side. Everyone, follow me." Taylor and Carter get up and pull Cameron's arms around their necks, each holding his arm with one hand and supporting his body with the other. They couldn't do much about his feet dragging on the ground, but it was the best they could do. Adia pulled Matt up and pulled his arm around her neck, letting him lean heavily on her. I give her a need help? look but she shakes her head, so I walk next to Laura.

    "It's been a long time, hasn't it Malia," she said, looking straight ahead. "Yeah, it has," I reply, "Why did you leave?" "I needed time to feed, to get stronger, more controlled. I couldn't keep, feeding off of you guys, it would kill you eventually. So I left, but I wasn't alone. Not until now."

      I look up at her(she's taller than me). "What do you mean?" She looked at the ground. "I had found my mate, Malia. He was human, but he was perfect. His name was Shawn." My head whips up. "Wait, was? What happened to him?" "Another vampire bit him and took him away from he. He's being used for a bad cause somewhere in Brazil, being compeled by his own Sire! It makes me sick to think of all the things he's now done."

    Suddenly, the pieces in my head fit together just as we reach Laura's house. Shawn, as in the vampire Matt hit with a chair! I go to say something about it to Laura but she says, "Help the boys get the vampire, they're dropping him. Bring him over there." She pointed to a bed inside the house.

    I turn around and run over to Carter and Taylor, who are struggling hard with Cameron. I give my twin a break and take his place, helping Carter carry Cam over to the hide-covered bed Laura pointed to.  We lay him down on his back, careful not to hurt him. Once that task is done, I look to Laura, who has come over to us.

   "Matt, pray tell what is the name of your mate?" Laura asks as she checks for Cameron's pulse. "Her name's Adia." Matt says, sitting down in a leather chair close by. Laura nods and says, "Adia dear, could you go fetch these hungry boys something to eat from the cabinet? They must be starving!" "Yes ma'am!" Adia says,  running off into another room like she knew exactly where she was going. Laura looked at me and said, "Can you call your guards off, they're very distracting." I looked behind me to see Taylor and Carter, both flanking me. "Guys," I said to them, "It's ok, we're all fine! Now go sit down!" I point to the other bed next to Cameron's. Luckily, they both listen to me, sitting next to each other on the bed.

    I look down at Cam and ask, "Why isn't he healing?" "Vampires can't heal while unconscious." Laura lifts up Cameron's arm. "This will trigger the healing." Much to my horror, she snaps Cam's arm like a twig, immedietly setting it back in place. Cam shoots up roaring, eyes red and fangs extended. He howls in pain and rips his arm away from Laura, his eyes shooting from me to her. "What...happened?" He asked through gasps, "Where are we?" I smile at him, watching the bite in his neck close up and heal. "We've escaped, Cam. We're safe now." His eyes widen in disbelief. "Safe?" "Yes, fellow vampire," Laura says, calling his attention to her, "But you need to rest now. Give me your hand."

    Cam shoots me a questioning glance and I nod, so he holds out his now completely healed arm to her. Laura takes his hand and closes her eyes. She mutters a few words, and I see Cameron's eyes flutter. He falls backward onto the bed, fast alseep.

    I look at Laura in astonishment. "How did you do that?" I ask, making her smile. "It's one of my many powers. Now please, make sure your friends eat." I turn around to see that Adia had returned and handed a bowl of steaming broth to both my twin and Carter. Adia had returned again to Matt's side, but my guys remained on the bed, staring at the bowls in their hands. "Guys," I say, sitting on the bed behind them, "You need to eat, you haven't in days! Come on, I know her, she won't poison you, I promise." The boy's exchange glances and sigh. At the same time, they both take a sip of the broth. Their eyes both widen in delight, and soon they both have the bowl drained, liking it clean. "Wow, that was amazing!" Crater exclaimed, wiping his mouth, "Can we have more?"

    "No, boys, you've had enough," Laura said, coming over to the bed, "I think what you need now is some rest, yes?" I know where this is going so i quickly glance over at Matt and Adia, who both sit asleep in the leather chair with Adia curled up in Matt's lap. I smile and turn back to Laura, who lifts both her hands. She presses one finger to Taylor's forehead and his eyes close, making him fall backward into my waiting arms.

    Laura looks at Carter, who's frozen to the spot in fear. I quickly grab his arm and say, "Carter, it's fine, he's just asleep." "Yes," Laura says, "Now, I didn't know you were a banshee, Carter, how suprising! There are so many things you could help me with! But first, (A/N let me take a selfie!) You must rest." She presses her finger to his forehead and he falls back onto the bed besides me.

    "Why are they all asleep? And why not me?" I ask Laura, tracing patterns on Taylor's cheek. Laura looks up at me, and what she says makes me freeze. "Because, Malia, we need to talk about your destiny."
