A/N: Happy Holidays everyone! I think it's about time I upload another chapter. Don't you think? Alright, here we go!
Dedicated to:
All of you!
Seriously, your reviews make me laugh so freaking hard. I didn't realize I was starting a whole Team Caleb vs. Team Cameron thing until you guys started rooting for them. You all make my day so much better.
Alright, enjoy! :D
Raven's POV
Deep base music played in the background as I got ready for the final act. I tied my hair in a ponytail and straightened out my black shirt, pulling up my jeans. I look at myself in the mirror and hardly recognize myself.
So much has happened in the last few weeks. I wonder if my life will ever go back to normal. Something tells me that it won't. With a quick application of Chap Stick, I shut of the music and make my way downstairs where everyone was waiting.
"Raven and Caleb will lead Chloe and Derek back here." Kit announced just as I entered the room.
"Wouldn't it make better since if it were me and Raven leading them here?" Cam asked.
"They will be going after all of you. It's better if they didn't have all of their main targets together." Kit explained.
"So we stick to the original plan?" I ask, and all eyes are on me.
"Yeah, you ready?" Kit asked me. I put on a small smile for them all to hide my anxiety and nod.
"Alright, you guys. Head out." Uncle Simon passes us our back packs, and smiles down at me. "Stay safe." He says. I nod assuring him. He nods back and steps to the side for me to look at Aunt Tori, and Nana Lauren. Both woman look at me with smiles, but Nana looks more scared and Aunt Tori looks more anxious.
"Stick to the plan, and don't do anything crazy." Nana says, taking in a deep breath.
"Don't worry Nana; I am my father's daughter." I try for the joke, and I'm rewarded by small laughs around the room. She brings me into a tight hug before she turns to Cameron and the others.
"Just like your father, you have a tendency into getting into trouble." Aunt Tori adds. "But you also take after his survival skills and his smarts." She smiles and I step forward to hug her. She wraps her arms around me and kisses my forehead.
"Bring them home safe." She whispers.
"I promise." I reply. We pull back and she smiles at my little brother.
"Ready." He announces, and I look over his black ensemble. His expression reflects my own, but I shut my emotions down while his are out and open. Wow, we are just like our parents.
"You kids be careful." Aunt Tori says and hugs Seth, leaving us together.
"Don't worry; the plan is sure to work." I tell him, but he only nods still not able to say anything.
"Okay crew, let's get out there." Jade calls from the door.
With final goodbyes our group left the safety of the safe house and into the hands of danger.
We were all stationed in our positions around town. We knew that the Edison Group was looking for us around this area. I was walking with Seth towards a gas station where Cameron and Nick were to meet us from the other side of the street.
Just as we thought there were tall, muscular men watching our every move. We have been followed for a while, and I grab Seth's hand just to make sure he was at my side. He squeezed my hand back in reassurance.
"Rae!" Cameron shouted, waving us over.
Seth and I make our way towards Cam and Nick only then do I see the EGs moving in closer to us. I look at Cam and he's noticing too. We meet up at the gas station entrance and both head inside. The clerk looks at us and then back to the customer in front of them.
We make our way to the back and then hear the chime of bells as the door opens. I look behind us to find three of the EGs following us inside. I look to Nick and Seth and they nod at me and head towards the soda machine while Cameron and I head towards the refrigerators.
"Rae, before this whole thing happens there's something I need to tell you." Cameron whispers just low enough for my ears to hear. I sigh, getting the idea of what was going to happen.
"Cam now is not the time or place." I say grabbing a Mountain Dew.
"But we might not have another chance." He sighs and takes a coke for himself. I look at him a little crudely.
"Don't you think the plan will work?" I whisper.
"Raven, I love you." He blurts.
"Cameron!" I scold. Did he not hear me before?
"Breaking up with you was a mistake, a really bad one. I can't take the distance between us anymore." He continues.
"Cameron, shut up!" I whisper to him, hoping our brothers – or anyone for that matter – had heard him.
"I know why this whole thing between us started in the first place. It's because we're mates." He says. I roll my eyes at him and head for the casher.
"Enough Cam, we'll talk about this later." I say, and look over to where the boys were getting sodas. They came back with big cups full of whatever liquid they liked. They placed them on the counter and I pulled out the money to pay for them.
"Let's get going." I say, and glance over at the EGs that are still following us.
Once we step outside I take the pin from my shirt and poke a hole in my bottle seeing it starting to leak. I pass the pin to Cameron and he does the same thing. This would give the Pack back at HQ something more strongly to follow.
"Get ready." I warn them, and walk towards the more secluded part of town. I can hear footsteps following us, and the boys begin to speed up so that Cam and I trail behind.
We turn a corner, and I could already sense the tension.
"Raven." Seth calls, and I look further in front of us to see more EGs coming down the street, coming for us. I look behind us to see that even more of them have followed us. They must really want us to have this many people after us.
"Here we go." I whisper.
"Don't try to run, we have you surrounded." A foxy voice says, and I look in front of us to see a tall red head in front of us.
"Sorry to disappoint, but we don't give up so easily." I say, and just as I finish Seth and Nick splash their sodas in the nearest EGs' faces, while Cameron sends out a fireball knocking the red head flying backwards.
"Run!" I shout, and the boys take off.
We run down the street for a while until we're stopped by a group of EG members. By sent I could tell two of the four were werewolves, and just by the look on the others I could tell there were a sorcerer and a telekinetic-half demon.
Without hesitation I let out a growl and tackle one of the werewolves. I hear him growl and feel his tight grip on my arms as he pushes me off of him, making me roll a couple times. I quickly get up only to have him throw a couple punches, ones that I easily dodged. He left his chest wide open, and with one strong swing, I punched him right on his sternum making him gasp and fall to one knee.
As fast as I could, I kicked him so his head flew back, knocking him out cold. I looked over to see Cam setting fire to the sorcerer, Seth fending off the telekinetic and Nick using his knock back spell on the other wolf.
I run up to the telekinetic, only to have something hit me making me fall to the ground. I look up from the ground to find that the red head was back. She glared down at me, and suddenly I couldn't move. I growl deep in my throat knowing about the binding spell.
"You little brats are pain in my ass." She sneered. I then heard the cries of the boys and heard them collapse. "You'll join your parents in hell." She smirked. "Knox." And my world went black.
