Chapter 4

Mary-Lynette POV

"Who are you?" My voice was quiet and shaking. The heel of my foot hit the truck of a tree and stopped me from backing away from them. I braced myself against the tree as they continued to walk towards me.

There was a little patch of moonlight that escaped into the trees and the only source of light in this part of the forest. I knew that once they reached that spot I would be able to see their face. What good it would do to me, I had no idea.

They were only a few feet away from me. Franticly I found the soulmate silver cord and started to pull. Along with this I thought something that hopefully Ash could hear. I love you more than anyone. Remember that. I closed my eyes and imagined him holding me just before he started to leave last summer.

"Are you okay?" Recognizing the voice I opened my eyes and saw a pair of amber eyes staring back at me. A smirk played on the female vampire's lips as she watched my reaction to her.

"Just having fun scaring me to death Kestrel? What have I done to deserve it this time?" I started to relax a little as I knew that she wasn't going to kill me.

"Nothing that I know of yet. Rowan wanted me to come and check here for you, especially seeing as you haven't been talking to any of us as much lately." Kestrel stepped closer to me. I still backed away a little but not as much as before. "It's because we're related to him isn't it? That's why you don't want to keep talking to us."

"It's harder. You all look alike and I can see him in each of you. It just reminds me about everything that happened." Everything started to blur as I explained myself to her. Out of the three sisters' Kestrel never really did like me. Yet when the tears started to flow down my cheeks she came closer and hugged me.

"My brother is an idiot. You can't just be waiting around for him. You have to actually do something to keep your mind off of him. Rowan has an idea for something to do during the long weekend but we want you to be involved for it." Kestrel tightened her grip on me before she let go. "Rowan wants to tell all of us at the same time. That's why we were looking for you."

"Okay, than lets go." I wiped my arm over my eyes to get rid of the tears that had escaped. Instead of walking in front of me like what she usually does, she wrapped her arm over my shoulders. Every so often she would tell me it was going to be fine.

Once we got to the house I started to get nervous. There's no way that he would be in there waiting for me. He's still off doing what he needs to do. If he was here he would have came when I pulled the cord for him. Remembering that I pulled the cord I started to feel guilty. I should have made sure that it was someone who wanted to kill me before I started to pull. I just kept on mentally yelling at myself as we walked up the stairs into the house. Both Kestrel and I watched out for the hole as we stepped over it.

Rowan was inside the house just beneath the stairs pacing back and forth. When she saw us she quickly ran to me and hugged me.

"I checked over at your house and you weren't there, and when I called you didn't answer." She tightened her grip on me for over a minute before she let go. Thinking back I did remember my phone vibrating while I thought that Kestrel was going to kill me.

"I would have answered if someone wasn't pretending to be someone else who was stalking me." Rowan instantly turned to Kestrel.

"She was the one who started to run away from me assuming that I was going to hurt her." Kestrel just shrugged her shoulders and walked over to the couch.

"She said that you had an idea for the long weekend." Folding my arms I watched Rowan. She was just staring at Kestrel for several minutes.

"Yea I did. I was thinking that we should do something all together for the entire weekend, like spending the entire weekend in a large city. We can go shopping, go to late night parties and everything." Rowan kept on watching me. I knew that she was going to try to get me to do something big with then. She knew that I had a hard time saying no to them.

Taking a long deep breath I closed my eyes for a moment. When I opened them I saw her cinnamon-brown eyes intently watching me. This will reassure them that I'm not made of them. Yet it will just remind me of Ash if I spend so much time with them.

Letting out my breath I opened my eyes. Without looking at either of them I softly muttered, "Okay." They both smiled widely at me. That was the first clue that they were planning something that they weren't going to tell me right away.

Not long after Jade walked in and we all started to talk about which places we wanted to go. After several hours we all said goodbye and I headed home to get some sleep before school the next day. This is going to be interesting.

Hope you enjoyed
