A/N: Okay, for the ending of the last chapter. Here you go. Also, I've gotten votes on whether or not you guy get the Lemons. I should have clarified from the start. Lemons are chapters with, well, to be blunt, it's a sex scene. Some are soft, and others are really detailed. I don't know what mine are, I'd say they are somewhere in the middle. So, your choice. Thanks for reading, and enjoy this chapter. ^_^

Simon's POV

I couldn't believe my eyes; I couldn't believe that I was seeing Rocky, here. A smile spread across her beautiful face, and she ran towards me. She hugged me tightly, and I immediately responded. She was thinner than I remember, but she still felt just as soft, and smelled like strawberries. I let out a little sob, as the whole thing came down on me. I had Rocky back!

"Rocky!" I heard someone shout. Rocky and I hesitated for a second, not wanting to let go of each other, but we did anyways. She turned to look at a guy, about the same age as me, but with shaggy dark brown hair. He looked at Rocky and me with a jealous rage. I know, I saw it every time I looked in the mirror for the past week.

"Do you know who these people are, Rocky?" the big guy who talked to us earlier asked. Rocky nodded. She seemed more powerful, more in control of herself, no longer terrified of everything.

"This is my family." She said. Shock spread across their faces, and a few gasps escaped the crowd.

"Family?" the younger guy asked. Rocky nodded. She rested her other hand on dad.

"My father," she said, then moved her hand onto Chloe. "My sister," she added, then pointed at Derek, who was still knocked out. "My brother," she said, and she held up our hands, that held onto each other, "and my fiancé." She finished.

I kept my face clear of expression, but inside my heart rose, and my blood rushed to my head. I could feel my face heat up, but I felt Rocky squeeze my hand in reassurance. She was telling me to trust her. I squeezed her hand back.

"Impossible." The younger guy said. Rocky nodded.

"I tried to tell you Ethan." She said. Ethan shook his head, and started to walk toward us.

"But you accepted my gift." He said, pointing at Rocky's wrist. I looked down to see some kind of leathered, beaded, bracelet. Rocky shook her head.

"That was before I knew you were asking me to marry you." She said. My head snapped up.

"Marry you?" I asked. Ethan reached down and grabbed Rocky's wrist, and pried her hand from mine. He held up her wrist to show me the bracelet.

"Yes. She agreed to marry me. I gave her this bracelet as a token of my love, and she accepted it." He said. I looked at Rocky, feeling hurt.

"Simon," she cried. "I didn't know. I'm sorry." She pled.

"Simon?" Ethan repeated. "You're Simon?" he asked. I nodded stiffly. Ethan's lips twitched in a sinister smile. "You fell in love with him?" he snickered.

"Yes." Rocky answered. Ethan let her hand drop, and turned to face me.

"For someone who can't protect you?" he asked, still eyeing me. Rocky rubbed her wrist, and looked at Ethan deadly.

"He doesn't need to protect me." She said. Ethan spun around to face her.

"So you admit he can't fight for your honor?" he asked. We all looked at him questioningly.

"I never said that." Rocky said. Ethan laughed.

"Then he can fight me." He announced. "He will need to. Because I won't let you go, unless he defeats me." He said. I look at Rocky.

"Is he serious?" I asked. She looked at me, sadness in her eyes, and nodded. I looked at Ethan, who was waiting for my answer. I've been here three minutes, and I already hate the guy's guts. "Fine. I'll fight you." I said.

"Simon." Chloe whispered. I looked at her worried face, she was begging me not to do anything stupid. "You don't know what this guy has against you." She said. I smiled at her.

"No worries. I'll take care of it." I say. Then I felt my dad's hand on my shoulder. I expected him to stop me, but he didn't.

"Take care of yourself." Was all he said. I nodded, and looked back to Ethan, only to see Rocky in front of me.

"Don't do it." She said. I took her in my arms, and planted a small kiss on her lips. I could hear the small gasps of the crowd, but I could care less. I pulled away from her, a dazed look in her eyes.

"I won't let him take you from me." I said. A small grin coming to her face. I smiled at her, and headed towards Ethan.

"Wait!" Rocky grabbed me, and looked up to the big guy who had a very confused look on his face. "Levi – I mean Dragon. Please let Deanne and Synthia take care of my brother." She asked. Levi looked at her to Derek. Then he nodded, waving the men off.

"Chloe, go with them." Rocky said. Chloe nodded, and followed the men who carried Derek into a large tent. Then Rocky looked back at me, and nodded. Then, slowly, let go of me.

I followed Ethan to a clearing behind the tents. The crowd had followed to watch the battle. Ethan stood opposite of me, with a huge sword in his hand. He looked at me with determination, ready to take Rocky away from me. The sun was setting behind him, and the orange glow of the sun made him look scarier than he really was.

"Choose your weapon." He called. I looked over to my left to find three men standing there with three different weapons: an axe, a mallet, and a sword. I chose the sword.

"Begin!" The big guy, Levi, shouted. Ethan didn't even hesitate; he swung the giant sword at me. I jumped back, forgetting how to swing my arms to defend myself.

"Simon!" dad shouted. Out of the corner of my eye, I can see Rocky hanging onto him, scared for all three of us.

Ethan came at me again with another swing. This time I brought up the sword to deflect his attack. The weight of both swords caused me to go down on my knees. Ethan spun back, and brought his sword down on me. I used the sword to defend myself again, but Ethan pushed down on me, causing me to lose my balance, and topple over.

"Ethan! DON'T!" Rocky shouted.

I looked up to find Ethan ready to stab the sword into my chest. I quickly rolled over, hearing his sword stab the ground next to me. I rolled back over, to find him trying to dig out his sword. I used both legs to kick him back. He stumbled backwards, but found his balance.

I grabbed my sword, and ran for him, ready to finish this. But when I got to him, he stepped out of the way just in time, spinning around so he was behind me. I felt him grab my wrist, and twist it behind my back, making me drop the sword. I squeezed my eyes shut at the pain. Then I felt him kick the back of my knees, sending me to my knees again.

"Simon!" I heard Rocky shout.

Chloe's POV

I could hear the shouts of the people at the battle. I was sort of glad that I didn't have to watch it. I don't think I could handle watching someone beat up on Simon, or see Simon fighting. I watched as the old woman, Deanne, and a young girl, Synthia, work on Derek. They had told me that he was just unconscious, and that he'd wake up soon.

I wanted Derek to wake up really bad, but at the same time I wished he wouldn't. As soon as he'd wake up he would hear the battle between Simon and that other guy. He'd go out and try to save Simon, and risk getting hurt again. I held onto his hand as he slept, if felt warm compared to my cold, clammy one.

"Synthia," Deanne called. I looked up to find Synthia nod and wipe away a few tears.

"Sorry Gran." Synthia apologized. I wondered why she was so upset.

"She'll find her way, don't you worry." Deanne said. Synthia looked at her, and nodded, but looked at me and I knew that Rocky wasn't the one on her mind. I thought about asking her, but it really wasn't my place.

"How's the wolf?" a red haired girl asked, coming into the tent.

"He's well." Deanne said. She nodded, and folded her arms, but then got a look at Synthia.

"Syn? Why are you crying?" she asked. Synthia shook her head, and went to the corner to sit down.

"She's young; things like this make her worry." Deanne explained to me. I nodded, just to be nice, and looked back at Derek's face. His color had returned, and he was breathing evenly now. I brushed some of his hair out of his face, feeling that he was still warm. He leaned into my hand, and I smiled at him.

"Simon!" I heard Rocky shout, and I jumped. What happened to him? What was going on? I bit my lip from yelling in frustration. But when I didn't, I heard someone else do it. We all turned to find it was Synthia.

"Are you okay?" The red head asked. Synthia sat still, covering her ears with both hands.

"Does it look like I'm okay?" she asked. Then she spun around giving all of us a death glare. Her eyes were puffy, and red, tears flowing down her cheeks. "Why aren't you doing anything about this, Astrid?" she shouted. The red head looked at her shocked.

"What can I do?" she asked.

"Tell Ethan the truth! Why do you older people always make things so hard?" Synthia complained.

"Synthia." Deanne warned. Synthia completely ignored her.

"Why are you just standing there, letting Ethan fight for someone else? You shouldn't wait for him to say anything. Boys are stupid when it comes to this stuff. You're going to have to fight for him." She explained.

"What makes you such an expert?" Astrid asked.

"Because I see the way you look at him, and the way he looks at her. He thinks he loves Rocky, but he doesn't. I know that." She said.

I looked between the two, mostly getting it, but I was still a bit confused. Why would Synthia be the one to lecture about this? The two stared each other down, until Synthia turned back around and continued crying.

"Chloe?" I heard Derek whisper. I looked back at him, and saw his eyes flutter open. I smiled and rubbed my thumb against his cheek.

"Hey sleepy head." I said in my sweetest voice. He smiled at me, but then when he looked around, his smile faded, and he looked worried.

"Where are we?" he asked. Then he saw the other women. "Who are they? What's going on? Where's Simon and dad?" he asked, and started to sit up.

"Easy wolf boy." Astrid said, helping me pin down Derek. He looked at her then to me. "I'm Astrid. The one over there is Deanne, and the one in the corner is Synthia. They helped take care of you." She said.

"Simon and dad?" Derek asked me.

"They're outside." I said, not able to tell him about the battle. But he didn't need me to let him know. He clearly heard Rocky call out to Simon in full terror.

"What's going on?" he asked, and pushed himself up. Even us combined couldn't hold him down. He stood up, staggered a little, and ran out of the tent. I ran after him. I heard the crowd cheer in a sick demonic way. Derek found Kit and ran for him, but stopped when he saw Rocky. When I looked at her she was crying. Then I saw why.

Ethan had Simon pinned up against a tree, and raised his fist and struck Simon across the face. Simon looked pretty bad. Busted lip, and blood running down his face from a cut above his left eyebrow. But when I looked at Ethan I saw that Ethan's eye was starting to swell, and his cheek cut up. Simon had gotten him pretty bad.

"Dad!" Derek shouted. Kit spun around and saw Derek and me. We ran up to him, and Kit and I had to stop Derek from running in to help out Simon. "Why aren't you helping him?" Derek asked, disbelieving.

"This is Simon's fight. I'll explain later." Kit answered, and turned back to Simon.

Simon's POV

Ethan had me pinned up against a tree, the bark biting into my skin. His fist glided against my face, and I grunted at the impact. I spit out the blood that collected in my mouth. I looked back up at Ethan's ugly face, and saw him smirk. He reached behind him, and a sword zipped into his hands. I looked up at him shocked.

"You're a telepath." I said. Ethan's smirk grew.

"Damn straight." Ethan said. He raised the sword, and I had no energy left to fight back. I looked over to find Derek and Chloe standing next dad. Derek lived, that's good. At least one of us will. I looked back up at Ethan to find the sword swinging down towards me.

I looked at Ethan's face, and with the last of my energy, gave him my meanest glare. I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of getting to see me scared, besides, I wasn't really.

"NO!" Someone shouted, and a pair of arms grabbed onto Ethan's arms, bringing the sword back. To my amazement, it was Rocky! Ethan dropped the sword, and Rocky flung herself at me, blocking Ethan from me.

"Enough." She said with a tired voice. She turned around to face Ethan. "You will not hurt him." She said deadly. Ethan looked from her to me, then back to her. Then she took the bracelet off her wrist and handed it to Ethan. Hurt and confusion ran across his face, but then landed on anger.

"I shouldn't have ever accepted it." I said.

"But, I love you." He said. Rocky shook her head.

"If you loved me, you wouldn't be doing this." She said. Ethan took a step towards her, almost threatening, but Rocky stood her ground.

"Don't leave me." He begged. She took a step back.

"I love Simon," she said, and my heart almost stopped. "Not you." She said. Then she pointed to someone in the crowd. "But Astrid loves you." She said. A few more gasps from the crowd.

"No she doesn't." Ethan said.

"How would you know that? You haven't even given me a chance." A girl standing next to Chloe called out. I take it she was Astrid.

"Because you told me you didn't." he said. She rolled her eyes.

"We were six! I still thought you had koodies." She said.

"Ethan," someone called. "I know you don't love Rocky, because you love Astrid." They said.

"How would you know this?" Ethan asked her.

"Because you've only known Rocky for a few days, and I've watched you." It was a woman, who wore a very pretty blue dress, it almost looked like an Egyptian style. She had big green eyes, with dark colored hair.

"Rocky is similar to Astrid. You used Rocky to get over Astrid." She said.

"You have no idea what you're talking about, mother." Ethan said. That was his mom?

"Let Rocky go Ethan." Levi said. We all looked at him. "I wouldn't have let you married her anyways." He added.

"Why not?" Ethan asked. Levi sighed.

"Because, Rocky never really loved you." He said. Ethan looked back at Rocky.

"Stop telling me that!" he shouted.

"Then get it through your head!" Rocky shouted back, which shocked all of us. "You and I can never be together." She said.

"Ethan!" a little girl ran up to him.

"Synthia!" an older woman cried out to her.

"Ethan, I need to show you something!" She said. Without warning the little girl pushed Ethan. Not expecting the push, Ethan fell on his butt. The girl climbed up on him and took his head in her hands, and closed her eyes.

A sudden golden glow came out of her hands, and into Ethan's head. I looked at Rocky for some kind of clue on what was going on. But she looked just as confused as I was. I looked back at Ethan and the girl. The golden light vanished, and she opened her eyes. Ethan looked at her shocked, and she got off of him. He stood up, and looked at the crowd, his gaze landing on Astrid. Then he looked at Rocky then me, and just walked off.

We all watched as he walked away, but Rocky turned back to me, and had my head between her hands. Worry replaced her fury, and she looked ready to cry. I tried to smile at her, to tell her I was okay, but it hurt too much.

"Let's get you fixed up." I heard Derek's voice, and felt him and dad lift me up to my feet. The crowd moved out of our way as we passed by.

"I'm so sorry." I heard Rocky say.

"As long as we're all okay." Dad replied.

I personally thought this chapter sucked, but I couldn't figure out a way to better put it. You'll find out what Synthia did to Ethan sooner or later. It will all be reviled in the next few chapters. Then it's back to square one! Sort of. Just wait and see. Thanks for the reviews! Love them all! Thanks for reading also! Hope you enjoy this crazy adventure.

BoOkWoRm OUT! ^_^
