Hunter's POV
Just like Barbara had said, the darkest hour began on Monday morning and it took a while before the darkness disappeared from the sky above Paradise Creek'.
Barbara and I went to school together that morning after I'd picked her up from school. Her cousin, Pinky was also resuming school as she was fully recovering.
We met Liam and Hera at their locker talking about some random stupid stuff and Babe joined in.
My phone beeped and I brought it out from my pocket to see it was a message from Stanley.
"The boys are dead," It was simple yet informative and deadly. The last time I visited both boys at the hospital, one was recovering already and a glint of hope had lightened in f
Babe's POV"I'm getting scared right now," Ivy confessed mid lunch. I was sitting with Pinky, Tommy, and Hera at the cafeteria on a seat close to the door and far from everyone.Hunter and I had gone to the admission office to change the schedule and make each of our classes the same. I wasn't surprised when the woman didn't question our decision or refuse to fix it to what we wanted but what I was surprised about was how Liam walked in with the same request.At the end of the day, the seven of us, Hunter, Hera, Liam, Ivy, Pinky, Tommy, and I all had the same schedule irrespective of what we wanted to study in college.When I asked Ivy if her mom would be comfortable with the arrangement, she told me her mom doesn't have a choice if her survival was o
Babe's POV"Hunter, where are we going?" I asked for the umpteenth time and he ignored me as usual."Hunter," I yelled again.After he carried me out of the cafeteria, he placed me on my feet, held my hand, and began dragging me away till we were out of school."Hunter," I screamed and removed my hand forcefully from him."What's going on? Why was Zion coming at me?" I asked angrily as tears came out of my eyes.Hunter ran his hand through his hair and pulled me into his body. He held on tight and my tears increased. It was getting tiring.Too tiring.
Hunter's POVLeaving Babe was the hardest thing I'd done in my whole existence. I thought letting go of mama and Zion was hard but watching her walk away without a clue of what could happen next was daunting.I ignited the car and drove off to our house. I haven't picked up my parent’s call since yesterday. I was trying to avoid the topic with them. I'd rather waste time than face them to talk about something that I don't want to talk about.I already texted Katie to bring my clothes to the backyard. I'll take it from her and leave.My phone started ringing almost immediately I got to the front of the house."Hunter," Katie cried out.
Babe's POV"Are you sure you can still wait for him?" Pinky asked me the umpteenth time. When she had first asked me, I was a hundred percent sure that I could wait for him but now I wasn't even sure of what my answer should be."I don't know Pinky," I replied, truthfully."I think we should leave. It's twenty minutes past school time" She told me as she checked her watch.Pinky had decided to wait for me after I told her Hunter was coming to pick me up. She felt I shouldn't stay alone and she also didn't want to go alone. It would've been better if we both went together with Hunter."Let me call him once more," I asked and brought out from phone from my trouser's back pocket.
HUNTER'S POV Shit! I messed up! Those were the words that left my mouth as soon as I got to Babe's house and realized she had gone to school. I'd made her promise to wait for me and still, I was the one who ended up disappointing her. I asked one of their maids and she told me Babe and her cousin just left the house. Hurriedly, I entered the car and drove off to school. I knew I was driving too fast but I hoped I met her in school before it was too late. I might not have the chance to apologize if she had entered the class and I don't think I have the patience to wait till after class to apologize.
Hunter's POV"What's wrong?" Katie asked as soon as I walked into the house, holding Babe. She was still not talking and no matter how much I tried to get her to talk while in the car, she refused.Katie was standing in front of us already, holding her pen. Babe touched her face and told her she was fine."Go back to your online classes, Katie. I promise I'm fine," Babe assured her and that was the longest word she had said in the past few hours."Should I call Mom?" She asked.I shook my head. "Is dad at home?""He went out about twenty minutes ago. Mom would be back soon,""No one was at home e
Babe's POVIt was a little past ten in the night when I finally woke up. I was tired and exhausted from crying too much and from even sleeping for that long.I sat up in bed and checked my surroundings. The lights had been turned off and the only thing I could use was my phone's flashlight.After struggling to stand up on my feet, I switched on the light and I could see a cup of milk on the table. A note was also placed under it.I picked up the glass before reading the note. It says *Hunter would soon be back, have a great drink*From the emoji that was drawn after the word, I could easily tell it was Katie that wrote it. A smile appeared on my face and I drank the milk.
Hunter's POVLast night, I told Barbara I love her. It was about time for me to let her know just exactly how I feel about her. When we saw Ivy at the hospital, it made me realize I could actually be the one on that bed or even at worst, Babe, and I won't be able to tell her about how I truly feel.There's also one more thing that she needs to know but that'll be done once we get back from the hospital.I already told her about Ivy when she woke up this morning and now I'm standing in front of her door, waiting for her to get ready."Hey, sorry I kept you waiting," She apologized as she walked out of the room. I'd actually brought her back home and she also told Pinky about it and now I'm so lucky to wait for two women to get ready despite
Hi everyone, this is an alternative Ending to the book. This will pick up right from the moment when Babe and Hunter almost lost their lives because of Xavier. Thanks for reading.Babe's POV"Finally, I'm home,"My eyes fluttered open at some point and a shining light penetrated it.I wanted to raise my hand to block the light but I realized it wasn't possible."Barbara Arnold, can you hear me?" A voice called out my name and I looked down to see a man in a white coat at the edge of the bed.Where am I?The
Babe's POV (FIVE YEARS LATER)Paradise Creek was just a regular small town in Hamilton and this, I found out after finally visiting the town in December the next year. My mom finally let me visit since I already finished high school and I was lucky enough to graduate as my school's valedictorian.When I got to Paradise Creek, the first thing I did was visit Pinky's grave to get rid of the doubt in my mind and after four years, the tears came rolling. She had been buried beside my aunt in Paradise Creek.I visited where the school would have been and found out it was just a regular high school, there was nothing extravagant about it. There were only small houses in the town as it was majorly occupied by the older part of the population. My visit did not yield anything good,
Babe's POVMy eyes snapped open as beads of sweat run down my face, I lifted my top to clean it off my face only to discover my top was also drenched in sweat. My heart was pounding heavily.I stood up and opened my window to allow fresh morning air as I grumbled about whoever it was that closed my window at a season like this. The sun shone brightly through the window and I had to first block the sun rays from entering my eyes.Could it be my aunt or Pinky?I stopped in my tracks when I discovered the room was different. It wasn't the room I was using in my aunt's place. Why does this place look like my previous room at my mom's house?I stumbled into the bathroom and realized it
Babe's POV Tommy and Pinky soon returned back to Hera's mansion and when they did, Pinky's face was swollen. She had obviously cried her eyes out. She was a pitiful little cousin of mine and I could understand how she felt. We all sat down at the dining area to goof around and make jokes. We talked about a lot of things and the conversation of Pinky's friendship with Maj came up and my cousin had to explain herself. "I didn't befriend her because I wanted to," She stomped her feet on the ground. "You were always with her even if she only waved at you. It was as if you were worshipping the ground she walked on," Pinky groaned and glared at Tommy.
Hunter's POV"Hey, Princess,""Is everything okay?""Where are you?""I'm at Hera's place""Can you stay there till I get back? I need to be somewhere important,""What's going on?""Stanny got kidnapped and we need to save him,""Are you going alone?""No, Princess. Arnold and my dad are with me,""That's better. Go safe your friend,""I love you,"
Babe's POVLiam and Ivy's reason for not writing the exams and attending school like we did later became clear.We wrote the last exams on Friday and by Monday, most of us were jubilating, thinking the attacks have stopped and we could now live a normal life until when Monday morning came and two students were killed before I got to school did we realize we were nowhere near finished.The principal announced immediately that the school was on total closure and every student should stay at home. The final exams for senior year students would be taken at home.We were all back to square one, online schooling and finally, online exams. There was also a curfew around town. We weren't allowed to be outside before seven in the morning and after seven at nig
Babe's POV"Someone looks delectable," Pinky gushed as we walked towards Hera who was waiting by her locker.Well, the school had been closed down for about three months and it was only opened back just so we could take our exams. Everyone has been taking online classes with the help of teachers. It was as if the whole town was on lockdown. No one wanted to leave their home in fear of the vampires and parents could only agree to school opening again because the Alpha had ensured every student's safety."You girls are looking really good,"Hera complimented and Pinky could only blush."You can say that about Pinky but not me. I look terrible, trust me"
Babe's POVThe first thing I saw once I opened my eyes again was another white ceiling above my head. This time, instead of screams, I could hear murmurs, jubilation, and joy all around me.I tried standing up but I couldn't. When I looked down at what was stopping me, it was my hand locked to the bed. I frowned at the realization.Soon enough, someone brought a key and removed the heavy chains from my hand. I sat up and that was when I saw everyone around me. It was my father, my aunt, Pinky, Hera, even Tommy and Ivy who were all…..I stopped as I looked around me and I also realized that I was in a hospital room.Why am I here?
Babe's POV"Wow, I didn't know Hunter Webster still existed in this part of the world," I admonished as soon as I saw him in class. The teacher hadn't arrived as I walked in and I was also surprised to see Hunter sitting in class already.He smiled at me."Why do you reek of sarcasm so early in the morning?"He placed a quick kiss on my lips."I missed you," he confessed."Well, I didn't miss you. Moreover, I thought about breaking your neck a few times," I kicked his leg and he jumped backward."Come on, Princess. Don't be mad at me,"He pulled me into his body.
