Episode 7 S2
Ember's P.O.V
The next day was tense. Jana had started hanging out with Rhydian again, which made Maddy mad. I had hoped that they had gotten over their crap. Magdalyn was not herself. She had taken to being alone. I was currently with Jana, trying to keep her calm.
"Stop following me!" she spat and I smirked at her,
"Stop getting mad and I won't have to." I said and she sighed as she continued on to class. I shook my head in amusement. She hated being followed and I didn't blame her. I sat down next to Nathan who had his hands in fists. He was also trying to control himself. He hadn't been around humans long enough to control himself around them. I put my hand on his leg and he latched onto my hand. He looked at me,
"Help." he said and I sighed, and I turned to face him.
"Just breath, don't focus on them. " I said and he did what I told him. As he calmed down, I turned to look at Jana who was having the same problem. Only she was staring at her desk.
"We should go running when class is over." he said suddenly and I looked at him. I smirked,
"You can. I have to watch her." I said and he sighed.
I was once again following her. But this time she went into the storage room. I knew Shannon was in there, they had been fighting a lot lately. So I went to follow her. But as I went to turn I saw Oswin. I turned and he was gone. I shrugged it off and went in. I turned just as the door slammed shut and I heard a lock being put on it. Jana began to panic. She was yelling at Shannon over something and I saw her face.
"Shannon, go over there and stay there." I said and she went without complaint. I pushed past Jana and got in front of Shannon who was starting to cry. Jana began to change and I realized that this too was a set up. It made sense. The same time I saw Him, we were locked in. Now we had to deal with Jana who had no control. I then heard Maddy banging on the door.
"I have Shannon protected. But Jana is changing." I said and I heard Maddy begin to talk to Jana through the door. She told Jana that she trusted her and that she knew she could control herself. I looked down at the floor and focused on only changing my eyes. I then looked up. I slowly went down to my knees and stared her down. She began whimpering as she looked at me.
"Control yourself Jana. Now isn't the time to show who we are to anyone. This was all planned. Calm down and comfort your pack member." I said as she looked from me to Shannon who was crying and trying to hide. Suddenly Jana was human again. I turned and took hold of Shannon and gently pushed her towards Jana, who caught her and hugged her.
"I'm so sorry. I couldn't control myself." she said and Shannon nodded, she smiled at her and I knew that Shannon was fine. I went to the door and waited for the door to open. When it opened I rushed out and to the class room that held Magdalyn. But she wasn't there.
Maddy's P.O.V
I was sitting with Jana, Ember, Nathan, Dean, Shannon and Tom in the lunch room. Jana had finally calmed Shannon down so that she didn't look ready to jump in fear every time Jana moved. We all looked up as Magdalyn came in. She had on a blank mask. She turned to Ember, and ignored us.
"Beta I need you." she said and it didn't sound like her. She seemed to be working on instinct only. Ember stood up and slipped out of Nathan's arms as did so.
"Alpha, whats wrong?" she asked and Magdalyn simply turned and walked out again. Ember looked confused and turned to Nathan. She kissed his cheek and then followed after her.
Magdalyn's P.O.V
I walked up to Jana who was speaking to Rhydians real mother.
"Where is dad? He is supposed to be the Alpha! I have my own pack here." Jana said as she paced in front of the caravan that was sitting behind her. She looked sad. I knew she still missed her dad.
"You know what was going to happen Jana. The pack is breaking apart." Ceri said as she took hold of Jana and made her look at her. Jana looked shocked.
"You are the new alpha. We need you." Ceri continued and Jana looked torn between us and the pack.
"Your father was banished Jana. There is no one to lead the pack. If there was I wouldn't have come. But the pack is fighting on who should lead. And half of them want you." she said again as she went silent. I looked at her.
"Jana. You have a chance to go and change the pack. To make it what it was before your father took over." I said and she looked down at the ground, she was still torn about going.
"Just go." said a voice and I looked behind me to see Maddy and Rhydian. Jana looked at him before nodding. She smiled at Ceri,
"Lets go. We need to speak with the pack." she said and I smiled. Jana had always been a good person. But her father had tried hard to keep her from being that way.
"Lead the way you feel is right. Don't let others do it for you." I said as she turned to me and hugged me. She hugged Maddy and Rhydian, then she took off after Ceri.
Ember's P.O.V
I watched her as we walked through the trees. She was looking for something. I had seen her this way when we had ran away at the beginning. She had let her wild side take over. It was her defense mechanism.
"Father was at the school today. We need to track where he is. We have to end this. I'm tired of running." she said and still didn't look at me. Finally I had had enough. I got in front of her and looked at her,
"Maggie. Your not yourself. We shouldn't be doing this right now." I said and she turned away from me.
"Yes we should. Dean doesn't want me unless my father is gone." she said and that's when everything clicked together. She was like this because of Dean. Something had happened to make her like this. I turned to her again.
"Maggie. Please lets go back. " I asked again and she turned to me. The mask was gone and she seemed so depressed. I put my arm around her and started to steer her back towards the town. But before I would take her far, she broke free and took off running.
"Maggie stop!" I yelled, but she was already gone. I turned and ran for town. I knew that she was going to track her dad. But he didn't want to be found yet. What I was afraid about was the fact that she was unstable.
I ran into the Smiths house and came face to face with a girl. She had a smile on her face. She was talking to the parents. When she saw me, she froze. I saw the lab results and I growled.
"You have 10 seconds to hand shit over before I rip your god damn head off." I spat and her eyes widened. I saw Mrs. Smith look shocked before she smiled and blocked the other door.
"We hide for a reason Dr. Whitewood. Now please do as she tells you." Mr. Smith said as he stood and looked down at her.
"But why hide it?" she asked and I growled again as I waited for her to hand it over.
"We hide because of people like you. Who want to find out all about us, even if that hurts us. You and your labs don't care about us. They just want to use us as lab rats. We have children to protect and guide. You just want us to be locked up." Mrs. Smith said as she glared at the woman. The woman looked defeated and finally handed the papers over.
"Now. If you tell anyone about us, I will hunt you down." I spat as I threw the papers into the fireplace that the Smiths had. I turned as the door opened and Magdalyn came walking in. She saw me and sighed,
"I realized you were right. I didn't want to endanger..." she started and then turned towards Whitewood. She growled and the poor woman went white and screamed.
"I know who you are. Get out before I kill you. You caused enough damage for us." she spat and I held back my laugh as the woman turned and fled out the door.
Magdalyn's P.O.V
I sat outside again. I still felt the urge to hunt my father down, but I knew that it wasn't the best idea. I turned and looked at the forest that was around the house.
"I'm sorry." a voice said and I turned to see Dean. This time he had a black shirt on. I nodded once and didn't speak. He had more to say and I wasn't going to stop him.
"I do feel the bond. I was just afraid you were going to be taken away from me." he said and I looked at him, I smiled at him as I stood up and went over to him.
"I have the same fear Dean. Pushing me away isn't going to make the problem go away." I said and he smiled back. Suddenly he leaned down and kissed me. I put my arms around his neck and kept him there. Then we heard laughter.
"Its about time." said a voice and we broke away from each other to look behind Dean. Maddy, Rhydian, Ember and Nathan were standing behind him and Maddy was laughing.
"Seriously I was thinking of locking you two into a closet together." Ember said as she smiled at us, Nathan had his arm around her and laughing at Dean's shocked look. Suddenly a loud howl ripped through the air and I tensed. Ember stopped smiling.
"He is way to close. We better prepare for a fight." she said and I nodded as I motioned Maddy and Rhydian to go inside. At first they looked like they wanted to argue, but the look from Dean had them moving.
"I thought he was going to wait until a no moon day. He's making his move on a new moon day." I said as I turned to look at the woods. Then out of the woods came my father. Only he was dragging Shannon and Tom with him. They looked bad. He threw them to the ground at our feet.
"I took out their families. Come with me Magdalyn or ill kill the rest of your friends." he said and I looked at him and then at the people behind me. Ember was in a fighting stance, as was Nathan and Dean. But Maddy had Shannon and Tom behind her. Rhydian looked scared.
"Not going to happen." I said and he growled and lunged, but Ember lunged too and crashed right into him. She tore at his side and blood went flying. He landed with a thud on the ground holding his side, and Ember landed in front of me. She transformed and stood there in human form.
"Don't you dare touch her." she spat and then spat out a bit of his skin.
"God you taste like shit." she said and continued to spit out the blood. I held back the laugh that wanted to come out. I heard Mr and Mrs Smith come out of the house and I motioned for Ember to distract him. When he was turned away from us, I motioned to Ember to not look at me, and so I quietly got behind my father and waited.
"Even if you win you will all die here. I started fires around this pathetic town. The whole town will burn down." he spat and my eyes widened. I heard the others behind me start moving to evacuate, and so I jumped onto my father's back. I was yanked off, and thrown to the ground where Ember was, and I growled as I started smelling the smoke. Dean was slowly come up behind him as well, and I knew that if we didn't kill him now, that we would be stuck here. I got up and lunged just as Ember and Dean did. I screamed as his claws sliced through my side and I was thrown back. But Ember and Dean were still on him. I got up again and lunged again. I ignored the pain in my side as I fought with him. Finally he faltered and Dean was able to take hold of his head. And I watched as he ripped his head off. I turned towards the house and saw Maddy. She was holding mine and Ember's bags. We had kept them at their house in case we had to run. Just as I took it Rhydian came running back.
"My house is up in flames. I heard them screaming." he said and then sighed as he held up the bag that he was able to get. I looked at the forest and saw the orange glow. We all took that as our cue and we all ran to the car. Me, Dean, Ember and Nathan all put our stuff into the car and then took off through the forest trying to judge where the flames where. Dean was texting to his parents on where they could drive and where they couldn't. By the time we made it to the hill above the town we all watched in shock as the whole town was up in flames. Shannon and Tom refused to look at the town and kept her head turned away, and all of us beside those two, could hear the screams. I turned as Dean put his arm around me, and I sighed. I looked back at them and froze as I saw Jana.
"Come to our pack. Your all welcome." she said and then waited on us to decide. She got into the car and sat next to Shannon who was looking at her.
"We can't stay here. We need to go. Whitewood isn't going to give up. And now that the town is gone, we have our chance to leave." I said and they all nodded. Shannon looked scared, and I looked at her. I smiled,
"Your part of the Pack Shannon. Same goes for you Tom. We won't let you be alone." Maddy said as she also smiled at them. We all watched as the town burned as the jeep drove away. We all hoped that the problems would stop now that my father was gone. But Uncle was still alive. Time would tell.
Hope you enjoyed the next chapter and then ending of Season 2. I own nothing.
