Nexus
"We're in Nexus. Birthplace of the supernatural" Jace stated taking in the huge unfamiliar place.
Marie gasped.
She couldn't believe they were in another realm.
"How?" Seb demanded.
Ana stirred in his arms but still didn't wake.
"I told you I didn't know where the door would lead. At least now we know how the dwellers ended up in those tunnels" Jace explained defensively.
"So how do we get back?" Seb asked.
From his tone it was easy to pick up his frustration.
"Obviously we need to go back through the portal that brought us here" Jace snapped.
"Which would be where exactly?" Simon asked cutting in.
They all looked in every direction but there was no sign of the watery door that previously transporte
Seb In Action ?"Jace, what do we do?" Lily's voice was shaking and she was on the verge of tears.Jace didn't respond. The witch looked as scared as she was as he stared frozen at the large animals closing in.One darker gray wolf seem to lead the others as it drew closer to them...."I'ma pee my pants" Lily whispered with a few tears escaping.She was petrified that she would die soon.These wild wolves didn't seem happy at all. She wanted to scream out for Ana to save her but was afraid they would attack if she yelled.The dark wolf was now inches from them…Out of nowhere Seb came bursting through the trees!He immediately jumped in front of them putting himself face to face with the beast.Seb didn't have an ounce of fear as he stared down the much larger

Seb didn't have an ounce of fear as he stared down the much larger animal.Seb exuded power and dominance.The wolf growled ferociously in his face; drops of saliva even hit him. Seb didn't bat an eye. Lily couldn't believe what she was seeing! She wondered if Seb has temporarily lost hi
ANA vs KIM (The Duel)......I was so caught up that I didn't realize I had been stabbed................Until I looked down and saw the tip of the blade….. Covered in my blood…. jutting from the center of my abdomen…..This happens when you anger a vampire...Ana Pov"Look who's the slut now". Kim whispered in my ear as she forcibly pushed the blade further inside me.She may have gotten the jump on me because of my distraction but my reflexes are still good.I ignored the pain and reached behind me to lock onto her neck before front flipping her; she flung hard into a nearby tree.Seb quickly sat up and ripped the blade from my back.It was luckily an ordinary weapon, so as soon as it was removed the wound healed like something was zipping it up. We
CaughtSlowly I opened my eyes to five concerned faces hovering above me."What happened?" I asked sitting up slowly. Simon reached down to help me."You almost killed your sister!" Lily exclaimed.All the memories came rushing back at once. Kim was here and I was so close to ending her. But they stopped me.How?Seb saw the confused look on my face and all but read my internal question."Jace restrained you with a spell and I injected a little platinum into your spinal column. It was the only thing I could do to stop you. You hyped out" Seb explained. That part he didn't need to. I remember how it felt to feel all that rage.I would have killed my sister had they not acted in time. No matter how angry I am I wasn't ready to take her life. She just got under my skin and I lost control.&
"Their message was delivered they had no business left here. You still need a plan" Cora said pushing me back on track. Okay what can I do to convince my friends not to fight for me? Or maybe it's not all of them I need to convince but just one. An idea began to form in my head"Yes! That will work if you succeed" Cora shouted before I even told her my idea. That was all the encourage I needed.I practically flew up the basement stairs to begin my plan. The witches said the kings men will come for me in a few hours and it may take that long to convince this one person to just listen to me and follow my plan.Once upstairs I trailed the noise to the kitchen where everyone was eating and talking. Seb and Jace both stood as soon as I entered. Oh boy, here's the hard part."Uh Jac
A Huge red kingdom sitting in the middle of the ocean; it was large and grand and completely unreal. The pointy tops soared into the morning clouds. It was the type of structure you'd see in a children fairy tales."How?" I asked in wonderment. We had reached the tip of the ocean and Maximus was on his phone talking angrily to someone"The blood castle is what it's known as. It was spelled by the darkest witch known so that it can only be seen by the blood drinkers" The guard with ashy blonde hair and scruffy face said. He was the only one to speak to me besides Maximus."What if people are out there? If they can't see it, won't they run into it?" Seemed like a reasonable question to me."No, the spell misdirects them when they get too close; they n
Jace PovIt had been twenty minutes since he watched the men carry Ana off from the window. He hadn't once moved to tell the others mainly because he feared he made the wrong choice by not fighting. There was no guarantee that she would get a trial, the king could have her killed on sight. His stomach knotted with anxiety.The laughs from the kitchen grew closer and the rest of crew came bouncing into the living room"Why the sour face? Someone poop in your cereal?" Lily mockingly asked pinching his cheek. Jace slapped her hand away and scowled at her idiotic question.Taking a deep breath he prepared himself to tell them the truth. Better to get it over with sooner rather than later.But before he could get a word out the basement door went flying off its
"Ok. But I have something else I need to tell you" She admitted"What?" Seb asked curiously rolling his neck and loosening his shoulders. Lily copied him and also added a couple fake lunges. She had to stop though because flexibility wasn't her strong point."Tell you after the race" She finally answered. Thy lined up on the dirt road preparing for the race"On the count of three" Lily started "One...….Two...I think you're a werewolf...….Three!" she yelled taking off towards the house. Seb wasn't running and she knew her bombshell announcement worked as the perfect distraction….~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ana Pov"Welcome to hell!" Talon announced. The only thing I could do was hiss at him. If only there was a way to break these bars so I could break his neck.&
..****LilyThe moment Bobby walked out the door her heart dropped. She couldn't just let him walk away from her. Lily refused to believe all their secret kissing sessions meant nothing to him."Hey wait!" she shouted jogging down the dirt driveway after Bobby. He stopped and turned to face her. "That's it. You're just leaving?" she asked angrily."Yes I am. I'm not dying for this shit. If you are smart you'd leave too" He replied casually. Lily placed her hand on her hip."What about me? About us?" She questioned steeping closer."Get real, there is no us. I mean come on the making out was ok but I only did it because my options were limited and I knew you wanted me" He arrogantly gloated. Lily slapped him hard across the face. The
Pain Of Rejection.Cassius PovBeing locked in a dark cell for two days was not something Cassius was not used to. He is a prince and princes should never be treated this way. It made him angry! More than angry but furious.How could my father do this to me ? Cassius thought.It was bad enough Ferox killed Acacia but locking him up for defending his mate was beyond unnecessary. Cassius couldn't do anything to save his mother but he would do something to save Ana."Fuck! I need to get out of this cage!" he yelled pulling on the bars for the hundredth time. It was no use. These cells were built especially to keep vampires trapped inside."I see you've settled in nicely my prince" Raven said popping up outside his prison right before his eyes.
He Is The OneAna Pov"Seb?" I say again hesitantly.The wolf stops licking and slowly nods its massive head. I slap my hand to my mouth to keep the scream in. Oh my goodness! Seb's a wolf! How did this happen? As I continue to look into his eyes I realize he doesn't look upset. His silver tail is gently wagging as he continues to patiently watch me."Can you change back?" I ask. This is such a blow to my mind that Seb is actually a werewolf! I wonder how all this happened? And when? Seb's ears perked up and he tilted his head to the side curiously. The act was so adorable I couldn't help but smile.Maybe he can't change back and is stuck this way . The thought breaks my heart and I can't help but reach out and comfort him. My hand caresses the side of his jaw. The fur is so soft I could rub it forever.
Marie PovIn a matter of seconds, everything changed. The brother I grew up with was no more...Everyone watched speechless as Seb disappeared right before their eyes. The sound he was making was anything but human. Marie thought it reminded her of a lion but deeper. So deep in fact that she could feel it in her own chest."What do you mean roar of the wolf?" She questioned Helia"I mean that your brother is very special. Just watch" The crone replied.Marie turned her attention back to Seb and her heart dropped. Seb wasn't howling anymore but growling. His eyes were beaming a bright yellow and had doubled in size. His fingernails had changed into claws and he began using them to rip off large chucks of skin off his chest. Beneath the skin was black thick fur like hair. It was the color of the night sky and so
..Simon PovSimon was nervous but he didn't want to show it. Marie on the other hand looked fearless. She stared down Talon with a bravery he didn't expect. Still he worried for both their safety. With everyone else gone, they had next to no chance taking out the vampires alone."Why don't you just walk away Talon, while you still can. And take your pet too" Marie bit out. Talon folded his arms and a sly grin covered his face. The smile was unnerving.Kim however hadn't spoken a word. Since they popped up she didn't really even pay them any attention. Instead she continued to stare at the palm of her hand as if something were there…"I'll go little girl if I can take you with me" Talon replied with a wink. Marie balled her fist."Ove
.Catalina PovShe heard Cassandras screams of revenge even after the ebony skinned vampire took her away. The pain and fury of her voice alone left Cata on edge. This piece of unfinished business needed to be handled immediately.More guards had finally entered the destroyed execution room and rushed to her side."Find me Raven. Now!" She ordered losing her balance and falling to one knee. Cassandra did a great job of shoving the platinum star deep into her core. The poison was working its way through her body, killing her slowly. Lucky for her that it was only one star or she'd already be dead.A few guards flew off following her orders while another helped her to her feet. In less than a minute the Goth clothed witch came strolling into the room, assessing the scene"Hello
.Cassandra allowed her eyes to bled black and her fangs burst free as all her rage surfaced when she turned back to Catalina. It was time for the princess to die..."Your mine b**!" Cassandra roared and then she attacked...Ana PovThe guards were closing in on Seb and Jace. My instincts to protect them took over. I raised my fingers and four short blasts of lightening shot out and stuck all four vamps with excellent precision. Their bodies exploded into black dust causing Jace and Seb to duck and cover.Wow, that's new! I have no clue how I did that but it doesn't matter right now. Before they could even stand back up, I launched myself at them, hugging them both a little too hard."I'm so happy to see you guys!" I exclaimed"You too Ana" Jace said with much relief"Are you okay? Have you been hurt?" S
."She's using her ability! Stop her now!" Ferox ordered. Everyone turned their attention to Acacia who was still standing and starting at Marcos head. Only difference was she was shaking and her skin took on a blue tint. It was freaky. The thought didn't cross my mind that she had an ability, clearly she did and it was strong.The guards charged her. Acacia didn't move until they were almost on her and then she attacked.Long, jagged icicles sprang from her wrists. She back flipped and stabbed one into the eye of the first guard to close in and another into the heart of the second. The room was so cold now that her chains crumbled to pieces as soon as she yanked them."I WILL AVENGE MY LOVE!" Acacia roared viscously. The queen was nothing but pure rage now. A few vampires looked terrified and cautiously made their way to the door.
..Cassius PovThe execution feast was in full swing. Cassius stood in the grand ballroom watching hundreds of the oldest and most powerful vampires mingle and feed. The two blonde vampires that he uses for sexual fun, eyed him across the room. Cassius ignored them and downed another alcoholic drink. His mind was clouded by one blue eyed vampire, that has yet to make her entrance; Ana. Even as bad as he wanted her, the conversation he had with sister a couple of hours ago kept replaying over in his mind~~~Two hours earlier…~~~Cassius waited until he knew Gwyn had taken Ana upstairs before he questioned his sister."Catalina what do you really want" He snapped barely containing his anger. When Catalina was around it meant trouble for everyone else. Cassius knew there was more than just their mothers awakening
