Brooke had Indianna's hand, she squeezed it tightly. Indianna turned to her curly haired friend and smiled. "I don't know why I'm so nervous," Indianna admitted.Brooke looked around the hospital waiting room. White floors, white ceilings and uncomfortable blue chairs. The light above them was flickering on and off. Brooke had always hated hospitals."I'd be surprised if you weren't nervous," Brooke said."Thank you for being here," Indianna said."What are best friends for," Brooke smiled. "Your bump's growing.""People are going to find out soon," Indianna whispered. "I don't want to be the pregnant girl with the dead boyfriend.""Screw what everyone else thinks," Brooke said. "Everyone that matters already knows the truth."Indianna nodded. "You're right."The girls sat in a comfortable silence for while, until Brooke sighed and looked at Indianna. "Can I ask a question?""Of course.""Did you..." Brooke gulped. "Did you ever think about not keeping it?"Indianna looked at her stom
"And Harry still blames me," Sasha said. "Moody bastard."Brooke chuckled. "Sorry," she said.Sasha rolled her eyes. "I'm going to order some food," she said and stood up from the booth."Brooke, I need to tell Rogue," Indianna said suddenly. "I don't want a repeat of what happened after I hid the pregnancy."Brooke sighed. "I don't want a repeat of that either," she said. "Tell Stacy, tell her to tell Rogue. She would appreciate you telling her and that will look good to Rogue."Indianna nodded and got out her phone. "I'll call her." Indianna dialled Stacey's number and after a few moments she picked up."Indie, babe, hi!" Stacy said. "What's up, b?""Stacy, I need to tell you something," Indianna said. "About the baby.""Is everything okay?" Stacy gasped."Everything's fine. Great, actually," Indianna said and rubbed her stomach. "I went to the hospital today. I found out the gender.""Oh, how exciting!" Stacy squealed. Opposite Indianna, Brooke cringed, hearing Stacy over the phone
"We should get going soon," Brooke said, after checking her phone. She had a text from Harry, telling her to unblock her mind.She ignored it."Yeah," Sasha nodded."Where are you guys going?""Brooke needs to go somewhere out of town," Sasha said. "I said I'd drive her."Indianna raised her eyebrows. "Out of town?"Brooke smiled. "Yep, we better get going-" Brooke swore when her phone rang and she sighed, answering it. "Yes, Harry?""Where are you?""Still in town.""Unblock your mind, Brooklyn. You're not going until I can get in touch with you easily. I need to know I can make sure you're safe.""Sorry, but I can't do that.""You lied," Harry snapped."You should've guessed that, Harry," Brooke said."My cars just parked round the back of the diner," Sasha was telling Indianna."You're still at the diner?" Harry said, overhearing Sasha. "Stay where you are, babe.""Sorry, gotta go!" Brooke said quickly."Don't you fucking-"Brooke hung up and avoided eye contact with Indianna. "I'v

"Shut up," Brooke snapped. "You don't know him! You don't know me! You don't know anything about us so back the fuck off!""Brooke, calm down," Indianna said gently."I'm sick of people treating me like I'm broken!" Brooke snapped. "No one seems to think I can handle anything! No one thinks I can do anything by myself!""We don't treat you like that-""Oh, don't pretend! I see the looks I get. I was raped, I got over it, everyone else needs to get over it too! I'm not some broken doll that can't handle anything-""You're not over it, Brooke," Indianna whispered.Brooke knew Indianna was right, but she was fed up. Brooke wanted to do something. Something to help. She was always just there, on the sidelines while everyone else got involved and helped out.She was the human who was useless, broken and scarred.She was sick of it.Her emotions were in overdrive. She didn't really know where all of this anger had come from, but it was coming out now and she couldn't stop it."Guys," Tai sp
"Let me remind you, the door is twenty paces behind you.""Harry Raine. Search his name," Brooke insisted.The guy sighed and looked back at the computer. "No record."Brooke frowned. "What? No, that's impossible. He's their son!""If you aren't visiting then you have no right to be here. You will be considered trespassers-""I know you," Sasha said, frowning at the guy. "Where do I know you from?""From when you walked in two minutes ago," the guy said and rolled his eyes.Brooke cocked her head to the side. "No, she's right-""Leave."The guy looked to the door and Brooke frowned when she saw a scar running down his cheek. She recognised him. "You!" She gasped. "You attacked Ace at school today! What the hell are you doing here?"The guy leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest. "I think I should be asking you that question, Brooklyn Fox. You're a long way from town." The guy tutted.Brooke paled. "You-""I'll tell Mr and Mrs Raine you said hi," the guy smiled."
"P-please, whatever you're planning-""Quiet," Ben said simply and he looked at Sasha who was trying to discretely text on her phone. "Throw the phone out of the window!" Ben called and waved his gun. "Or I'll kill you."Sasha froze. Ben aimed the gun."Stop it!" Brooke yelled and lurched forward. "She's got nothing to do with any of this!""Behave," the guy holding Brooke snapped and tightened his grasp. Brooke had cut her neck and a trickle of blood was sliding down her neck."Don't make me ask again," Ben called and Sasha quickly threw her phone out of the window."How are you alive?" Brooke asked. "You're dead. You d-died.""You mean your mate murdered me?" Ben said and raised his eyebrows. "I had someone to save me."Brooke frowned. "Rogue. Rogue connects all of this together. Rogue is a werewolf, you hate werewolves! Why are you working with him!"Ben smiled and tucked the gun into his jeans. "Because he can give me what I want.""Revenge," Brooke whispered and suddenly she fear
"The doors and windows are all locked. Don't try to escape, it will be a waste of time."Ben had left Brooke alone with Alec and he was currently hunting through the cupboards in the kitchen, searching for something to eat."This will be fine for you if you just do as you're told.""I've never been good at that," Brooke said."Then your friend will suffer," Alec said stiffly.Brooke gulped. "Why her? She's got nothing to do with this. She innocent!"Alec slammed the cupboard shut and turned round, glaring at Brooke. "I know, now shut the hell up.""Why are you working for Rogue? Can you not see what sort of person he is!""I know exactly what sort of person he is," Alec snapped. "And I said to shut up.""Can you really live with yourself if you hurt an innocent girl?" Brooke asked, her voice was quiet."No," Alec said. "I can't.""Then why help Rogue?""Do you have a choice?" Alec demanded, his eyes were wide and he was glaring at Brooke. "Do you have a choice in all this?""You kidna
