Safe Haven

Kara's POV:

I held my mom in my arms crying, rocking her in my arms.

Suddenly my dad leaped in front of me and was growling. Gun shots were heard and my dad yelped but stood in front of me, protecting me.

No!

He looked at me then looked at the shed that was close by.

I choked on a sob and shook my head, I can't leave him.

He growled at me "Go!" He was telling me to go.

I looked at him one last time and gently laid mom down and ran to the shed as my dad charged at the hunters.

I covered my mouth, muffling my cries. Then I saw the bow and arrow. Mom taught me archery, it's something she loved to do.

I grabbed the arrow bag and slung it over my shoulder then grabbed the bow and peeked out the small window.

Dad was fighting hunters but they kept shooting him, there were so many. I got out of the shed and aimed at the hunters and shot the hunters in the arms just to immobilize them so they drop their guns, just to help dad do the rest.

I can't shoot them in the chest, I can't risk killing them, if I do then I could trigger my werewolf side and I won't be able to survive that. I can't kill them yet, not until I see that my brothers are safe.

My dad saw me shooting them from afar and he nodded. I ran to my neighbors house to see if they needed help, I'm praying they are alright.

Praying that my brothers are safe and that my neighbors got out.

I saw some hunters up ahead, I was aiming about to shoot when my neighbors older son Jason, pounced on them and ripped them to shreds.

I ran towards him, letting him know It was just me. He let out a low growl.

"Is everyone safe?" I asked him

He nodded his head yes and I sighed in relief.

We took off running towards his house and I called out to his mother.

"Alice! Alice! It's alright, it's just me. Jason is outside keeping watch." Alice called for me and I walked farther into the house looking for her.

I found her in her room along with her two younger kids and my twin brothers. I dropped the bow and ran towards them, kissing them and hugging them. "I'm so glad you guys are safe."

They looked scared "hey, it's going to be alright. I need you guys to stay with Alice okay. Don't leave her side at all, can you guys do that for me." They nodded their heads and I hugged them and kissed their heads.

I walked towards Alice, she was packing light clothes. "Alice, can you do me a favor please."

She looked up at me "what is it sweetheart?"

I swallowed the lump forming in my throat "Can you please take care of them for me. Mom..." I sobbed and she came up to me and hugged me. I whispered "Mom is dead..." I heard her gasp "Dad was going crazy when he found her.... he... he isn't going to make it either.... I'm all they have left but I-"

The death of a mate leaves the other in severe agony and pain that they are never the same again then they die from heartbreak.

Alice cut me off "shhh... I'm so sorry honey" she rubbed my back and sniffled. "We're going to go to a safe haven your going to come with us, we're all leaving together okay."

We both cried and I nodded. I helped her pack some clothes. I heard gunshots getting closer to the house and Alice and I both panicked.

"Grab the kids Alice, stay safe please take care of them." I cried "I'm going to check if it's safe. If I don't come back I need you to leave. Don't wait for me, just go."

"Kara no, we're all going to be together, your going to come with us and we'll be alright." She sniffed

I shook my head. "I'll be alright, please promise me Alice, please!"

She cried and nodded her head "I promise. If you come back and we're not there look for these symbols. That will lead you to the safe haven." She looked for a pen and drew it on a spare piece of paper then she handed it to me. "That's where we'll be, I'll wait for you there. I'll take care of Liam and Logan."

"Thank you so much Alice, thank you so much!" I hugged her "hopefully I see you again."

Then I went to Liam and Logan "hey guys, I need you guys to listen to me okay. Your going to go on a trip with Alice and her family okay, stay with them at all times, don't leave them at all. Do you guys understand."

"Where go?" Liam spoke softly. Logan held onto Liam's right hand with one hand and his other was in his mouth.

"I'm going to go distract the bad guys, It'll be alright, I'm going to find you guys, I promise okay. You guys will be okay." I pulled them into a hug "I'll be back for you guys. Big sister loves you so so much."

Logan took his hand out of his mouth "Love too"

"Love too." Liam said and laid his head on my shoulder.

My heard was breaking, I didn't want to leave them but I have to, they need to survive.

I hugged Alice and said bye to her other kids. Then I picked up the bow and went to go see if it was safe to get out.

Jason fought off most of the hunters but I had a feeling there were some hiding in the woods. I realized that I haven't seen Dylan since he attacked me earlier. Part of me wishes he was apart of the dead bodies but apart of me wished he wasn't.

I'm going to have to distract the hunters so they can sneak away. Jason looks like he's hurt badly too.

I took a deep breath. Okay, I got this. For mom, dad and my brothers.

I love you.

I readied the bow and arrow and shot as many arrows as I could to catch their attention. Jason looked at me. I nodded my head telling him to come towards me and he snarled and ripped into two more hunters before running towards me once he was caught up to me, I started running towards the woods with him following along. "I'm going to distract them, once they all come after me I need you to go to your family and get out, find your dad and shift back and leave. You understand, I will take care of the hunters."

He stopped running and looked at me like I was crazy. "I know what will happen to me if I kill one of them. But if i can save my family, our family in the process then its a price I'm willing to pay. Now keep running."

As we kept running I shot some hunters and Jason took care of the rest, then we came to the end of the woods, it leads down a steep hill. "Jason, this is where we part ways."

I went up to him and gave him a hug. "Take care. I hope to see you soon."

He whimpered a bit but nodded and pulled me closer for a last goodbye.

He took off running and I looked around for anymore hunters. This is where it all ends. It was getting darker but since the Full moon was almost out, it's natural glow acted as my guide in the dark.

Suddenly I heard branches snapping and I saw Dylan limping towards me. "So your still alive."

"I should say the same to you." I gritted my teeth "What did I ever do to you huh? What did my family ever do to you guys."

"Your kind is an abomination that's why you all have to be put down!" He growled

"Not everyone are werewolves, some are regular humans and your just killing innocent people!" I yelled standing my ground

He laughs "Oh please. Anyone who sided with the wolves is just as bad and has to be taken out...." he trailed off then smirked "Like your mother."

My heart stopped beating the moment he mentioned my mom

"You should have seen the look on her face right before I put a bullet in her."

"Y-you...you killed her-" my heart was racing so fast in my chest just thinking about her lying on the floor dying while Dylan stood there smirking as he watched her die.

I could hear Dylan laughing and bragging but I couldn't move, I couldn't breath all I kept seeing in my mind was my mother lying on the floor bleeding out. I felt like I was having a panic attack, I felt tears slip down my cheeks.

I completely forgot all about Dylan. I saw him slowly walking towards me, I quickly grabbed an arrow and shot him in his leg and he cried out in pain. "Your going to pay for that!" Then he pulled the arrow out of his leg and threw it to the side.

"No! You're going to pay for killing my parents. I'm going to kill you and once I'm done with you, I'm going to kill anyone else who is left." I growl angrily at him and he starts laughing

"Don't you know what will happen to you if you succeed in killing me? You will trigger your werewolf side and you won't survive the transformation." Dylan said smirking

"If i die, so be it. At least I can die knowing your dead." I reply enraged
