-Rays Pov-

I was panicking, and Denice was trying her best to calm me down. But how could anybody be calm in this situation. The day has come and I couldn't believe we were actually doing this. Headmistress Hastings was able to send the school away and we all managed to sneak away without being seen. Shay lead us out of the secret library, her beautiful secret library that she was sacrificing once again for us, her friends and her family. Reid, Denice and Jake stayed behind as the rest of us followed Shay and Dani and they were already wearing Reid's hoodies. We stopped by the dorms and Tobias's kissed Shay like I've never seen before. He was kissing her like it would be their last kiss. It made me tear up as it reminded me that I forgot to kiss Jake. Tobi then hugged his big sister Dani and kissed her head. She looked a lot like him but of course older. We didn't no Dani that much but Shay did because that was her sister in law. Both girls waved at the rest of us before making their way north. I watched with tears stinging my eyes as they walked away before following Aria and Tobias towards the dorms. Once at the dorms we put on Reid's shirts and hoodies as well. With the rest of the shirts we had we ran towards the underground cells. Once in the cells we started rubbing against them dropping shirts and marking Reid's scent all over and we also ran around the outside of the place brushing against the door and trees. And then that's when we heard them. We heard them before we saw them. It was time.

"Well, well, well look at what we have here such a pretty little thing, pitty that I have to do this," I turned around but was to late as a man with jet black hair, wearing black clothes and a black leather jacket stood leaning against the wall. Our eyes met and my body was filled with a current of electricity. It started running through my body like waves, each one stronger than the last. I collapsed screaming in pain thrashing around when the electricity stopped. "Now sweetheart you will tell me what I want or I will do that again," I glanced to my right to see Tobias lunging at a guard and two more lunging at him from behind I had to be fast. "What is it you want sir?" I asked. The man in front of me smirked. It was nasty facial expression. "Good girl very smart. I want you to tell me the location of Reid Bennett. I know that you know him as you smell of him and it's a fresh scent, now where is he?" I took a step forward and motioned for the guy to follow. He called over to the other guards. Several men and women followed us and I showed them the underground cells and lead them down the stairs. I stopped at the bottom step and pointed down. "He is down there." They brushed past me and the last guard was a women throwing me up the steps. I landed with a thud on the top step and yelled for Aria. "ARIA NOW!" Suddenly I heard the cell doors locking and the guards shouting. I got up hobbling away only to be caught by another guard. This one was a smaller girl, just as she was about to speak, Tobias voice rang out. "He is here. Reid Bennett is here come quick before he escapes," The guard dropped me and she went along with a few others and ran towards Tobias. "ARIA NOW!" I started to run towards the school and that's when I seen everything. They're were guards everywhere. Jake was fighting so I joined in fighting with him but there was not enough of us. We were not going to win. I was thrown into the wall of the school and got attacked by a guard. Next to me Jake was being tag teamed by four other guards. Tobi appeared and joined in.

We were dodging hits and trying our best. Jakes super strength really helping us. I glanced around to see the gaurds fighting with what looked like other guards. And Jake was fighting and so was Tobi. I looked around trying to find Aria, then I spotted her. She was cloning guards, creating more guards. The new guards were starting to fight against the original gaurds. It was all confusing. I look back over and shoulder and that's when I seen her. I blinked and ran towards her, it couldn't be. It was Kayleigh. I ran to her using my vamp speed and she was very boney and thin. I leaned in and whispered to her. "You need to be safe. Head over to the Secret Library I'm sure you know where it is, take Wren with you. We need Carter and Cade to help fight," I pointed to the bush that was quite a ways from us. "Just push that flower bush out of the way there is a door, enter it and make sure no one sees you. I will create a distraction and you and Wren can hide in there until this is over, you hear me?" I ask her. Kayleigh nodded and took Wren's hand in hers and she lead him to were I pointed and soon they disappeared. I looked over and seen Carter and Cade as they took off running towards Jake and Tobias to help. As soon as I reached the other boys I shouted at them; "Look it's Reid Bennett he is running west," Some of the guards started to run into the woods running west. The rest of us continued to fight who stayed behind. Some of the guards fighting each other as Aria continued to make more clones. She was using her magic helping us fight. The guards who were locked in the cells had busted out making the cells a little damaged from the guards who escaped. Carter and Cade joined our battle but I felt something. I knew something was wrong we were not gunna make it.
