Hayley POVI wondered what would have happened if we had indeed spent two days at Mount Wateren. Elena had gotten to the pinnacle of my tolerance level. One more mistake, I told myself, just one and I would make sure I threw her and my mother back to their home. I could not help but wonder what my father was even doing. He had never for once come to visit. Now, he sends away his mentally ill mate and uncultured swine of a daughter to me. They were not my responsibility one bit! They all had a choice and they chose! Just what if Elena was mated to Lance, things would have toppled on its head. She would not have allowed any of us into her new home. All of this frustrated thinking has been done in my room. I looked out the window and I suspected it was almost evening. Lance POVIt was beyond the scope of what I had been expecting. Hayley was so mad at the both of us. Grey had told me she was in her room determined to be holed up in there for as long as she deems fit. I spent the time al
"You went to my father?!" I shouted out of disbelief. "At least now you'll talk to me," Lance smirked my way but it only fueled my anger."What did you go there for?!" I said, glaring at him."Just talk, he really is going through a lot now Hayley,""Oh so now you see my father for a few hours and you are suddenly on his side?" I was being dramatic, I knew that. But it was only because he did not tell me before he left. "Hayley-""Don't Hayley me, you should have told me at first," I argued."Maybe if you stopped being so bitchy about things, I would have told you something!" Lance snapped.It shocked me and at the same time, calmed my nerves down. It had been a while since I saw him upset and definitely at me. A part of me missed it, another part wanted to see more of his anger and another part wanted to back away and apologize. But as the typical person that I am, I chose the way of more anger."You think going Alpha mode at me will shun me, nice try. I'm still upset," I crossed m
"What the hell is going on here?" I screamed, seeing how people shouted my name up and down the castle.There were about ten people standing outside my door, ranting, mumbling or saying that name in a high pitched sound."What happened?!" I shouted, hoping it shunned them."Hayley you have to help Sonia please," Grey walked in.He looked like he was running mad and it scared the hell out of me. His body trembled and his eyes were red."What happened to Sonia," I asked in fear. "She fell off the stairs," he replied breathlessly and at that exact moment, my body went pale in shock.She was pregnant. "Where is she?" I did not wait any longer for information as I sped off, trailing her scent.She was in the hospital and just when I got there, I saw a cleaner mopping off blood stains on the floor and it smelt like Sonia's. I understood how Grey felt immediately. "Sonia," her name rolled out of my mouth when I got to her bed.She was unconscious and blood was dripping down her legs. Some
"Happy birthday Hayley!"I froze in my steps, their words ran in my head over and over again. It was my birthday.And they were celebrating it."What?!" I breathed out."Wait, it's your birthday right. Yesterday your mother said it was but we could not tell whether or not it was true. It's your birthday," Lance asked, his shoulder tensing up as he did."Um...yes, it is," I replied, still stunned by the surprise. "Good," he said, wearing a birthday cap on my head and his.My workshop was decorated, I wanted to complain about why they moved my hard earned work but what they replaced it with was way worth it to talk."The cake is almost here–""There is a cake?!" I shrieked."Yes," Lance smiled.There was going to be a cake for me, people were around to help me celebrate my birthday. It had never happened in such a long time.The last time it did, I was seven years old. It was the same year my brother died and the same here my parents stopped treating me like a person."Are you crying?
"I will make you pay!" Lance yelled with wide red eyes. It was all happening too fast. There were flashes of light and sparks as the witches attacked us with their spells. Elena was around the corner laughing at how Lance tried to shield me. "You can't if you are dead!" One of the two witches who were with us screamed. She stretched out her hand towards Lance and he dropped on his feels, forced to look up at the ceiling as blood began to pour out of his nostrils and ears. "Lance!" I screamed, noticing that he was in pain and if they continued he was going to die. "No, please stop.""Let him go, we are not here to kill them," Elena finally said something. "We are only here to show them a whiff of what is coming.""Hayley!" I jolted up from my bed, awake from the weird nightmare I was having. Beads of sweat were on my head and neck and my body trembled in fear. "Look at me, it's alright. It's safe. It was just a dream okay?" Lance who was beside me said, holding my hands in his.
"Who goes there?" Lance asked sternly. I was right behind him and he was shielding me from whoever thought about interrupting a private date. "I'm here to cause your demise.”It felt like a prank at first and I had to look at Lance to be sure. "What?!" Lance and I chorused, bewildered. "Hayley!" I blinked back to reality to see Lance shaking me. "You really need to stop zoning out like that, you're beginning to scare me," he said. "You don't remember anything that happened on our date?" I asked him. "What are you talking about, of course I do. We went there, ate, chatted and went home when it was late because we lost tra–""Track of time," I finished his sentence in realisation. Then I looked at him again. "That is exactly the same sentence that keeps ringing in my head.""What?" Lance looked at me confused. "We don't remember what happened that day Lance and I think it is all connected to my nightmare," I explained. "No that can't be true,""But it is," I argued so he does
I remembered everything. They both looked at me, dumbfounded. "You do?" Lance asked, moving close to me. I felt something trickling down my nose, placing my hands on it, I flat my own hot blood. Immediately, I wiped it off. Lance saw it and he was everything but happy about it. "Why is she bleeding?" Lance asked Dorcas. They both never really got along well. "She is not supposed to–""You said you knew what you were doing," Lance interrupted her. "She remembers it doesn't she, Hayley are you ill, you should not be bleeding," Dorcas said to me. My nose bled again and I wiped it off. There was still the pain in my head but it was not as heavy as when they started the spells.Remembering everything that had happened, I got up on my feet and stormed my way towards the door. "Hayley, wait. Where are you going?" Lance called, chasing after me. "My sister," I stopped to look at him. He had the keys that opened the door and I needed him to give it to me. "Tell me what you remember
"You two will leave my pack without hesitation and never come back without an invitation from either myself or Lance." I demanded, turning to take my leave. “What disgrace, you will send out your on mother. I carried you in my womb Hayley and this is how you treat me–”“For years you pretended I did not exist!” I snapped, shooting a glare at her. “Just go.”“You can not send us away!” Elena yelled. “Go back to father,” I told her. “He’s depressed and who knows what he could do to us?”“I don’t care,” I shrugged, not even looking at her anymore as I walked right away from the crowd to my workshop. Lance walked right after me, not saying a word till I got to my destination. Shutting the door behind us, Lance faced me with a smile. “What?” I questioned in confusion. Earlier he did not want me to beat up Elena and now that we were alone, he was giving me a goofy smile. “Oh it’s nothing,” he denied but kept smiling down at me. “Lance,” I called out warningly.“You seriously do not
