Chapter 1

What the hell is going on

All the troubled have yet no problems...

Mary-Lynette was dreaming again. She was tossing and turning and moaning all through the darkness of the night. She was dreaming of her soulmate, his Ash-blonde hair, his glacier green eyes, the way he spoke, his husky voice whipering in her ear, the way he walked, so graceful, so cunning.

In her dream, he had returned from 'putting things right' and he was holding her in his arms as they stared up at the stars. He was whispering soft, loving comments of their future together.

He leant down and kissed her softly, his pillowy lips colliding with hers with such passion and longing.

They then heard a furious snarl form behind them.

Jeremy.

He was in his werewolf form, on all fours next to an old pine tree. He began running at them, or rather, Ash. Jeremy growled something, it sounded like 'Redfern'. She clasped her hand to her mouth as he set his sharp teeth into Ash's leg and began thrashing his around. the werewolf raised his hand, talons at the ready, and slashed down at her soulmates chest, blood poored out even as the wound began to heal. Ash was growling in pain as Jeremy sunk his teeth into his arm, her stomach churned. She could swear she heard the very muscle tearing in Ash's arm. She looked down and saw a silver knife between her clenched fingers.

Jeremy raised his arm again. That was my chance, She chose her moment and she thrust the knife into his heart, blood spraying onto her face as she put all her weight behind it. She crashed into Jeremy as well. She landed on top of him, she had no choice but to look into his hurt and sad eyes. But she saw the scariest thing. His eyes weren't the usual brown. They were purple. Not just normal 'Harman' purple either. They were crystalline, shades of light puple, dark purle and silvery purple. Like metallic puple diamonds. Then they faded out.

Not only did she have to really live the moment of killing Jeremy, she had to live it in her dreams as well. Falling asleep was now my least favourite thing, she thought.

Mary-Lynette was staring upat the ceiling. She still lived in Rowan, Kestrel and Jades house, still lived in Briar Creek, but she didn't go to school anymore. She turned her head to look out the window and up at the stars. She turned and saw a shadow outside. As soon as she caught sight of them they ran around to the back of the house.

"ASH!" She shrieked in bewilderment. Oh, Ash, he had returned, she thought. She ran out of her room and down stairs. She ran to the backdoor, unlatched it, and sprinted out into the backyard. She whirled around happily, searching through the darkness, trying to locate her soulmates position. It was silent. Not a stir in the air. She was smiling into the shadows of the night, her short brown hair whipping around with her. The stars glistening in her deep blue eyes. She heard a small noise, like a twig snapping over in the corner by the shed. She turned and looked where the noise had come from. A figure was emerging. After a few seconds she deciphered that it was not Ash.

Her smile faded out into a blood-curdling scream.

Jez was sitting on the couch having come back from the incident with Pierce.

"OH THAT BASTARD!" Raven shouted in hatred and pure fury. "TAKE PIERCE TO BE THE ONE TO STAB YOU IN THE BACK!" Both her midnight blue eyes were visible for she was swinging her self around in anger. Thistle was nodding and shouting in agrrement and Val was sitting on the couch next to Morgead with his fists clenched and his jaw tight.

Morgead was sitting back, watching the scene unfold. It was as he expected it to be once he told them the news. Raven was still pacing and stomping her feet. Jez's eyes were wide in shock. She hadn't ever seen Raven this angry, but then again, who wouldn't be.

Thistle began to cry, swiping the tears off her rosy cheeks.

Raven let out a huge breath and slumped down to the floor, being furious was exhausting. She rested her head against the coffee table's leg. she shook her hair and it fell over her other eye again.

After Jez had seen that she decided not to tell her about circle daybreak and the whole half-blood scenario. Jez was rubbing her temples wearily. She just wanted to sleep.

Morgead took her hand in his, giving it a small squeeze. Warm electricity flowed up her arm and through her body. She turned to him and smiled.

He led her to the kitchen where he pulled her to him, escaping the commotion in the other room. He kissed her then and there, sending sparks that quivered in her heart. She obviously kissed back, their souls coming together.

But before the connection was complete, the door in the lounge room swung open and slammed intot the wall. they ran out to see what was happening as people dressed in black were flooding in, wooden bats at the ready. Dark ninja's, little did Jez know.

Thistle and Val were attacking one as Raven went for another. Morgead rushed into the crowd, fist pumelling into one guys face already. What good would that do, she thought, there's too many.

A wooden bat swung across the back of Morgeads head and fell, unconscious, to the ground.

"NO!" Jez screamed and ran to him. She kneeled at the side of his limp body. Then she felt an excruitiating pain as a wooden bat struck the back of her head, and she fell limp on top of morgead.

Poppy and James were walking out of the movie cinema after watching 'The tourist'.

Poppy sttill had her box of popcorn in her hands as James was complaining, fishing through his pockets for his keys.

"OHHH, that was soooo boring. I can't believe you made me watch that. WHY. It was horrible. It wasn't even funny!" He whined as he withdrew his keys.

"Well unless you wanted to watch some weird french movie with arabic subtitles, count yourself lucky. Her copper curls swirling aroun her as her deep green eyes set on him.

"I'd go with the arabic subtitles." He giggled.

Poppy threw a handful of buttery popcorn at him.

"Hey!" He laughed and began emptying his shirt.

Poppy threw her popcorn in the bin as James exclaimed. "DUDE, where's my car!"

Poppy turned and saw that it was true. His car was gone. Her heartbeat picked up.

"Maybe you didn't park here." She said optimistically.

"No way, It was right here. Im 100% sure." He continued.

They both stared around the parking lot, searching for the car. Out of the corner of Poppy's eye she saw James's muscles tense. His grey eyes fixed. Poppy turned and turned and finalloy spotted his car.

"Oh look, there it is, right where you parked it. You must have been confused." She said and pointed all the way acroos the lot.

James shook his head. "That's not where I parked it."

They walked cautiosly across to James's car. He stuck the key in the door's lock. He turned it slowly.

Poppy's eyes were fixed on the key. It was centimeters away from unlocking the door.

Come on, come on, she thought. the key reached the end and there was a click.

At that very same moment, people began rushing toward them with stick. Poppy was instantly knocked out, James tried to fight them, but he was knocked out as well. the last thing he thought was, what the hell is going on. The he was black.
