Split

Chapter 4: The Sacrifice

Pheobe sat on her bed, not knowing what to do until she decided to to the most inevitable thing - look for her ex-boyfriend and not mope around all say, waiting for his death. 

"I need some time with him," Pheobe said quite calmly, staring Ariana in the eyes. Ariana shrugged and let the brunette leave. 

"You do that. Say your goodbyes since you're still so deeply in love with him," Arianna said with a smirk, emphasizing the word deeply sarcastically. She wanted to have the last word  she's always wanted to have the last word. 

At Liam's house
Ariana had been walking to Liam's home but hadn't quite remembered where it was ever since their break-up so she roamed the area until she noticed the street Liam lived in, Oak Street, seeing the blue stamp on the side of the road with its name written on it in black colouring. A smile emerged on the face of the witch. 

She turned her attention back to getting to Liam's home, and walked to a house with light-blue colouring. It was a simple, beautiful home, obviously happier than both Pheobe's adoptive and biological family. Phoebe sighed but quickly smiled when a middle-aged woman noticed her from one of the windows of the house, signalling her to come over to her. Pheobe did exactly that. 

The woman quickly walked down the stairs to let Pheobe in. "Thank you Mrs. Reynolds." Pheobe smiled, walking into her house and taking a seat on a grey couch. Mrs Reynolds smiled back at her, taking a seat next to the brunette. 

"Well, it's always nice to see one of Liam's friends around, especially you. Are you back together? I've been wondering ever since I saw you that morning," Mrs. Wheeler said, the smile still stuck on her face, clearly hoping that the two rekindled their relationship. 

"What morning?" Pheobe wondered to her self but shrugged it off realising the woman had been staring at her with concern. "It nothing serious. Speaking of Liam, where is he? Is he home?" Pheobe asked the woman. 

"He said he was at your house. Is he okay? Has something happened, love?" Mrs. Reynolds asked with even more concern in her voice. Pheobe sighed. He must've not wanted his family knowing and needed a place to turn. She had to help him. 

"Of course. I must have forgotten. It was nice seeing you, Mrs. Reynolds," She quickly replied, trying not to worry Liam's mother. 

The lady smiled in relief. "Then you must be on your way now. I've got somewhere to be as well. I guess I really love full moons," Mrs. Reynolds said, clearly also in a rush to go somewhere. Pheobe smiled and left to find Liam, gently closing the door and sighed trying to figure out where Liam would've gone until it dawned on her. She had guessed that the only other place he could go was the woods, where it all began, where all their lives changed. 

The Woods
Pheobe exited her lava-red car and turned on her flashlight to search for her ex-boyfriend until she heard cries not far from where she was. As she followed the cries, she saw him, Liam in a more emotional state than she had ever seen him. He had been sitting against a tree, his hands tightly around his legs and his head buried into his knees as he had clearly been crying. Pheobe couldn't help but feel for her ex-boyfriend, noting that many have said the transformation can be quite painful. 

She slowly wake over to him and touched his shivering shoulder, making him quickly jump up. He wiped his tears but still couldn't hide the fact that he was crying. He was never one to let people see him cry, let alone his ex-girlfriend. "What are you doing here? Leave now, Pheobe!" He shouted at her, quickly identifying her as his ex-girlfriend and not her. 

"Liam, I'm here to help you. I've read everything that has to do with werewolves in here," She said, pulling a small, brown book, seemingly an old diary out of a small bag.
