2. Chapter 1

Chapter: 1

My head falls to the side as I rest it upon my older sister's shoulder, it's the only little comfort I have in the bank vault that has been our prison for the last three months. Ever since the fire that claimed the life's of our family my sister has put up a stone cold front to everyone apart from me and I well I have stopped talking but that doesn't mean I don't talk to myself , well in my head. I don't talk to anyone not even my sister, the doctors said I most likely went into shock after everything but that is incorrect the reason I stopped talking was because of my older brothers ex-girlfriend –Kate Argent.

At a young age I walked in on Kate and Derek while they were together, Derek told me gently to not tell anyone but when he left the room, the snake that is Kate Argent set its eyes upon me and told me that if I told anyone about her relationship with my brother she would kill my family one by one and it would be all my fault, that night a scared 10 year old me told my mother what I saw and a week later they were all dead. The only reason we were in this vault was because we heard a rumour that a Hale alpha rose in Beacon Hills so of course Cora and I had to go and check it out.

But we soon found out that not only is our brother alive but that he is a really shit Alpha- due to the state of two of his betas. One dead and the other emotionally damaged by his friends death and drained of energy by being kept in the vault this long.

Cora strokes my hair, like she used to when we shared a room. She would do it to help me sleep and to calm me down and right now she is using it to do both of those jobs.

As much as I have missed my older brother I am sure he would not want me as a sister if he found out my big mouth helped killed most of our family.

Boyd sits in the corner of the vault like he does every day, he seems to have grown quite protective of me and my twin, maybe it's because he feels he needs to protect us because of what happened to Erica or maybe because his alpha is our older brother.

My heavy eyes shut. Its Cora's turn to stay up and watch, mine was last night. Ever since Erica was killed each of us have taken it in turn to stay awake and keep an eye on the Alpha pack a system that has been working so far, but I feel that it is all a game to them and we are just the pawns.
