Chapter 102

Brielle

After Blake and Kyle left us, his father took us to the basement of the house. I've never seen this place before, but I guess there was never a reason for me to know about this place before now. I quietly went inside as Blake wanted, but everything in my heart screamed for me to run out there. I could feel it in my heart that things were going to go badly wrong. But I was afraid that in my current state, I would be of no use to anyone. I would just be in the way and in the end he would have to save me again.

I was feeling the same way I felt that day. As helpless and distraught. There is nothing I can do. I was so lost in thought but Morgan got me out of it.

" Hey, are you okay? You are as pale as a sheet, and you have been out of it for a while now."

I couldn't find words to speak. My anxiety was at its peak. My mind was scrambled. I took deep breaths and calmed myself down.

I shook my head at her.

" I am fine, Morgan. I'm just a little scared. I've never been in a situation like this before.

I looked down at her arms to see Romi sleeping peacefully. I hope I can keep the peace in her life. Out of everything that I am worried about, I hope that nothing happens to her. She is a pure and innocent soul. She has only just begun her life.

" Are you sure that everything is fine?" She asked again.

I nodded my head.

" Yes. I'll be alright."

" Don't worry girls. Nothing will happen. We will all be safe."

Blake's mother was seated on the other side of the room. She was calm, and I bet it's because she has been through something like this before. I did, too, and it ended tragically so I couldn't be calm.

Blake's father said he was going to be looking around the perimeter before coming back there. He said no one would just come inside before the door was reinforced with steel so that a werewolf couldn't even burst through. Sure, we will be safe, but what about everyone else? I hope that no one is caught in the cross fire.

" Are you worried about Blake? I'm sure he'll fight his way back to you."

I forced a smile. I wanted to believe that. I really did.

" I hope so," I whispered.

" I hope Kyle is alright. I wish I could be out there with him, but I can't leave Romi by herself. I have to protect her."

The pressure was getting to me. It's going to be my fault if anything happens to anyone. I bit my lip.

I don't know how long went by, but it felt like an eternity went by. Blake's father hadn't come back. The silence was driving me nuts. I couldn't hear a thing from inside here. That was until we heard a whistle from outside. I got up and ran to the door.

" Is anyone there? Blake, is it you?!"

My heart was racing anxiously waiting for a response from the other side. It was eerily quiet and then all of a there was a loud bang on the door the startled me away from the door. That can't be right. What is going on?

It was silent again. It was a cause for concern.

" What the hell was that?" Morgan asked, clutching Romi close to her.

" I don't know," I responded, still confused.

" What the hell is going on out there? Sean should have been back by now," Miranda says.

Although she wasn't saying it, I could see that she was starting to get worried about her husband. We all were. Not knowing what was happening out there to our loved ones was starting to freak us out.

The bang came again. All of us bundled up together. It came again and again, and it got louder and stronger. But no matter how harder the bang got, there was no deny formed on the door.

I swallowed. My throat was dry.

" I know you are in there, Amaya! I'm coming to get you!"

My breath hitched. It was him. I know that sinister voice.

How the hell is he here? No. No,no,no,no,no. Don't tell me he.. I don't even want to think about it. He can't have succeeded, could he? A million thoughts went through my head conjuring the nightmarish scenarios possible. I can't bare it anymore. I need to get out of here. I have to find Blake. I have to leave even if it kills me.

I walked to the door and banged it with my hand, and it was so painful.

" Step back, Brielle. It's dangerous." Morgan called out to me.

" I need to get out of here. Blake. I have to go and help him. He needs me. I can't.. I can't him. I won't lose him." I rambled as I kept pounding on the door. It was futile to keep doing that without results.

Right now I very much hate my existence. I am just a defenseless human without any strength or powers. But even with those powers, what could I do then? I felt my body get very weak.

Shit. I need to get a grip. I can't fall apart right now. Not before I found out what happened to Blake.

" What is wrong with you, Brielle? Calm down."

I started crying and cursing my ill fate. This can't happen again. I started to think if my life was supposed to end up like this again, why did I have to come back to go through it again? What did I do that is so wrong? What am I being punished for?

I screamed my lungs out as Morgan and Miranda stared at me in shock and confusion. I let out all my feelings of rage, frustration, helplessness and pain. I was at my wits' end. I didn't know what to do to make everything right. It can't be the end. I refused to believe that it was the end. Even if Julian was on the other side of that door. Fate can't fuck me over again. Not this time. I'll defy fate if I have to.
