Dangerous Light Ch. 26 Save the Day

Disclaimer-not mine

Caroline groggily woke up rolling around in her bed. Outside was dreary and she wondered if rain was in the forecast. Sitting up she saw Polo on the edge of her bed.

"I didn't mean to get you in trouble," he looked down at his untied shoe.

She shrugged. She hadn't heard him come in at all. "It's fine. Do you want to tell me how you knew to take me there?"

His shoulders bobbed up and down. "Something just made me do it. And when people asked if I knew where you were it was like I forgot."

Caroline moved the blankets off her and pulled a cardigan over her shoulders. "Don't worry about it."

"But they freaked out when they saw you laying there. You hadn't had any blood."

She sighed and they went down the stairs to the kitchen. She opened the fridge and took out orange juice. The desiccation thing baffled her as well. She could usually go a little over two weeks without blood so maybe the timing was just right for her body to start looking like a mummy when you added in the extra week and a half of no blood. But she had a feeling Millie had something to do with the state she was in when they found her.

"Do you want something to eat?" she asked him. He was still staring at his shoes. "Hey, can you tell me what's really wrong?"

He shrugged. "I just, I just wanted to ask you something."

Placing the orange juice down she tried to catch his eye. Her voice was softer. "You can tell me anything Polo. I hope you know that."

"It's just," Polo looked up for a nanosecond before looking back down. "I was hoping you would help me turn into a wolf."

"What?" Caroline's voice was hushed. "What do you mean?"

"You know," he snapped at her. "I'm almost thirteen now and I've never turned into a wolf. My mom and Milo think that it's better because of my Asperger's. But Aunt Care I want to feel that side of me."

"And Milo and Jesse aren't willing to help you?" Care asked him. "Have you told them how you feel?"

"Chase said he would help me." He said sourly. "Nobody else would."

"Okay," Caroline gathered her thoughts. "So what happens if you were to turn? Do you think you could control yourself?"

"Everybody else can," he said sadly. Caroline felt for him. He just wanted to be himself so badly. "I think if I tried I could do it. Please help Aunt Care."

"I don't think I'm the best person to help," she said honestly. "I've never gone through something like that."

"You told me once that if I ever needed help you would help me. So help."

Caroline put the juice up. "Alright, no promises," she caught his eye so he could see how serious she was. "We'll try today in the woods. Don't expect it to happen today and if something goes wrong I'm calling the guys for help."

A grin broke out on Polo's face. This was something he really wanted to do.

"How do you feel?" they were walking through the forest later that morning. The skies were still grey and cool. "Have you talked to the others about when they change?"

Polo nodded stepping over roots and fallen leaves. "Chase used to talk to me about it all the time. He said you learn different ways of switching it on."

"What does that mean?"

"Chase used to tell me that he would think about when he would change. He said sometimes if you got real mad it was like flicking a light switch. He called that the anger switch for turning. Then there was the happy switch and the feeling free switch."

"That's how he described turning into a wolf?" Caroline thought about it. It would always be a foreign experience to her. She would never have to go through it so it was interesting to hear Polo talk. Chase made it sound like there was different emotions that connected with turning.

"Yeah," Polo stopped walking and they sat on a large tree trunk that had fallen down. "He said after a while you stop thinking about it that way and you just change more easily. Like you just know yourself better."

"Have you tried turning on your own."

He shook his head. "I really want to though."

"Well I think the first step is trying," Caroline thought those words were so absurd. When Tyler had turned for the first time it was completely against his own will and painful. Polo was choosing to do this.

"I don't know how," Polo said.

"Maybe your body will tell you when it's time." Caroline reasoned with him. "Maybe becoming a wolf isn't about forcing yourself into it. Like it comes naturally when it's ready to be seen."

"If I do it though," Polo swallowed. "Do you think everybody else will stop me from doing it again? I don't think that'd be fair if they did."

"Polo," Caroline resisted the urge to reach out and grab his hand. He didn't like to be touched. "Why do you really want to do this? Do you think that as a wolf you'll not have to deal with the Asperger's anymore?"

He was silent and she thought that she had found the answer. Polo didn't even twitch with his usual movement. He sat sullen.

She was about to say something else when her phone rang. He still didn't move so she dug her phone out and glimpsed at the caller ID.

"Matt?" she said confused. "What's going on?"

"Uh," Matt said. Where ever he was it was loud. "I think a friend of yours is at the Grill. She won't stop dancing."

"Cora," she said surprised. She of course knew it had to be Cora the minute he said she wouldn't stop dancing.

"I think," Matt wasn't sure of her name. "A vampire. Anyway I think it'd be best if you came and got her."

"Okay, thanks," Caroline was in a frenzy. The situation was odd but it sounded like something was wrong with Cora. "Polo I have to go pick up a friend. Would you like to drive with me?"

He thought about it for a minute. "Can we have the A/C on and roll down the windows?" he liked the feeling of the two air sources blowing on him.

"Of course," Caroline didn't mind. "But we better hurry."

The Grill was the same as always. Caroline waited for Polo to shut his door and come closer before walking towards it.

"I used to hang out here all the time," she told him. It was strange that she said it like she was telling stories from her past. Well she was telling stories from her past but it wasn't so long ago that her past had happened.

"Really?" he looked up at the sign. "I bet the Bar is better."

"I bet you're right," she said under her breath. She opened the door and held it out for him. Walking in last she noticed how still the surroundings were.

Usually the Grill was a bustling place. Today though it was mostly empty except of course for the supernatural gang hanging out at the bar area. Kol and Rebekah were sitting in a booth. The lights were dim and loud music pumped through the room. She hoped it didn't bother Polo. The dance floor was empty except for Cora who was in her own world grinding up and down. A bottle was in her hand. Caroline's heart wrenched as she looked at her best friend. Something was obviously upsetting the young vampire.

Polo rushed forward to the bar before Caroline could stop him. He moved into a small gap at the bar top between Damon and Elena. He looked up expectantly at Matt, who was behind the counter.

"Excuse me but I would like a coke with both cherry and vanilla." His face was so earnest. Everybody stared at him and Caroline felt like a mother bear for a moment.

"Sure," Matt nodded nicely not skipping a beat. It was usually very clear when first meeting Marko that he had a disability but the owner dismissed it. Caroline remembered why she had once like Matt. He was kind and treated Polo like any other customer.

While Marko hopped up in a bar stool to wait for his Aunt Care the others went back to looking at the spectacle on the dance floor.

"Aunt Care," Polo swiveled his chair to look at her. She moved closer to him so he didn't have to yell across the Grill. "Can I get something to eat while we're here."

"Uh," Caroline was taken aback for a moment. She needed to focus on Cora.

"How bout something to go?" Matt reasoned. "What do you have in mind?"

Polo looked at her to see if that was okay and she nodded quickly.

"She's wasted," Kol had walked up behind her.

Caroline snapped to look at him. "I think I can see that."

Kol shrugged before taking a sip of his own drink. "I'm just saying it takes a lot for a vampire to get that loaded."

"Well Cora and I know how to get drunk thanks," she didn't know why she had just said that.

"Cora," she stepped onto the dance floor and at the sound of her voice Cora's head raised up. She hadn't seen her friend enter the restaurant. She stopped dancing.

"Cora," Caroline said again much softer. "Tell me what's wrong."

The vampire dropped the bottle of rum and it made a loud noise as it broke apart. Brown colored liquor oozed on the floor. Her long blonde hair shook as sobs began to rack her body.

"Caroline," she blubbered out. Caroline moved closer ready to grab the girl and it was a good thing to because Cora dropped forward almost to her knees. The two girls almost hit the ground.

"What's wrong?" Caroline stood back on her feet supporting Cora. She knew that they were being watched and in the back of her head she thought it would be best to take this drama to go.

Cora stepped out of her arms and stood back on her own two feet. Tears still streamed down. "I just needed to know that somebody else felt this way."

"What way?" Caroline needed to answer.

"He's dead," she wailed loudly. Loud enough for everybody to hear her despite the music. "I loved him but he's dead."

Caroline's heart was stomped on as she understood what she was being told. Cora must have fallen in love since the last time she had seen her. And worse he had died.

"Sweetie," she pulled her into a hug and a few tears of her own fell out she was so upset that her friend was hurt.

After what felt like an hour of embracing Cora stopped crying so loudly. Tears kept leaking out of her eyes but she managed to pull herself together just a little bit. Caroline moved them to the bar so she could collect Polo and his food.

"Thank you Matt," she only looked at him and ignored the others. "Tell me what I owe you and I'll get it to you tomorrow. I promise."

He waved his hands telling her it didn't matter. Polo hopped up with a plastic to go box in one hand and a to go cup in his other. He didn't seem to notice crying Cora.

The three hobbled to the door and Polo held the door open for them. Polo was halfway outside and Cora and Care three steps ahead of them when they were blown back inside.

Dust and debris clouded over and Caroline's mind took a moment to grasp the situation. She didn't feel any harm on her body and she didn't bother to look down to see if she was okay. Her first instinct was to turn her head from where she was lying on the ground to see Polo. He was flat on his back but he had no physical injuries that she could see. Cora on the other hand was a mess. She had been hit the hardest by whatever had gone off.

Purple swelling and pain was evident on half her body. Blood seeped out of her head. Caroline picked up her friend but Cora's body was limp. She had the jaw dropping horror of a thought cross her mind that she could be dead.

"Vervain bomb," Stefan was the first to get to them. Damon was right next to him picking up Polo and dragging him back to the bar.

"Move," Kol shoved Stefan out of the way and bit into his arm. He placed the blood from his vein at Cora's mouth and forced it to drip onto her tongue. Cora's eyes immediately opened and she grabbed onto the Original's arm sucking more.

Caroline gave him a bewildered look as she saw the injuries on Cora fade.

"What," Kol raised his eyebrows. "You thought Klaus was the only one with special blood."

"Caroline we have to move," she was told by Matt. Everybody picked themselves up and raced to the back of the Grill.

"Who are they?" Damon was looking through the blinds in a window. Despites his brother's pleas to stay inside Damon stepped through the front door ready to face a group of unknowns. One tense minute later he was back inside burning.

"Shit, the sun," he looked down at his ring. "Damn it I think they're just human but my ring doesn't work."

Bonnie moved beside Damon and looked out the same window. "I can feel magic."

"Are you saying they're humans drugged up on magic?" Stefan asked.

"They're defiantly not my brother's hybrids," Rebekah confirmed. "They're not vampires either."

"I fucking hate this town," Caroline spoke for the first time. More like shouted. "I swear to God every time I come here something terrible happens. For fuck sake's this isn't a soap opera."

"Tell me about it," Matt felt her pain. "I just go this place repainted." He was talking about the restaurant he owned.

"We can't seriously be pinned into this place by a group of humans." Kol had his hands in his pockets. He was relaxed unlike the others. "Do you think there's a witch out there doing this?"

"Obviously," Bonnie muttered angrily. "And I don't know what kind of spell he or she used to undo the daylight rings."

Bonnie was cut off from speaking anymore when the ceiling collapsed. Vervain flew into the building and had everybody but Polo and Caroline coughing.

"Sis," Kol gave a curt nod to Rebekah. "See you at home." He made his escape by jumping out of a hole in the side of the wall. Rebekah was about to scream out at him to wait when she looked around. Nobody else caught it but Caroline could see the look she gave to Matt. She wasn't going to leave him here.

"Aunt Care," Polo's voice interrupted Caroline from looking back and forth between Rebekah and Matt. "I feel funny."

"No," Caroline muttered out. That sounded like what a lot of people would say right before they died. "What hurts?"

"I," Polo was about to answer her when he sprung up and bounced up and down. He took a running start and before her eyes he started to change into his wolf form. She was so stunned and upset that it had to happen at that very moment. This was going to go very badly.

"Are you shitting me?" Damon spit at her.

"Don't hurt him," Caroline stood up to Damon. "He doesn't know what he's doing."

They had to duck as wood bullets hailed down on them.

"Somebody tell me what the bloody fuck is going on?" Rebekah screamed.

"How are we going to get out of this?" Jeremy asked. He and Bonnie would be the only ones really able to go out into the sunlight. Matt would be able to as well.

"They're coming in," Stefan alerted them.

"Good we can rip their heads off from inside." Damon said.

"If they're humans we can't kill them," Elena pleaded with him.

"You've never been able to understand that it's okay to kill humans as long as they tried to kill you first." Damon told her.

The first human stepped into the building and Damon lunged to grab the man's throat but it was Damon who ended up crashing into a wall.

"Oh great," Matt said drily. "They have super strength."

"What witch could do this?" Bonnie wondered aloud.

"I think I know of one," Rebekah muttered quietly. Caroline was closest to her. They were crouched behind a table that was turned sideways to act as a shield. Polo as a wolf was gnawing through wood and he freed himself dodging into an alley way instead of going out into the main street out front. He took out a man standing in his way and Caroline prayed he would make it back home safe. Cora was sitting up but she looked around confused. Caroline realized it was like the room was split up. On one side the Scooby gang was fighting and on their side it was just the three blondes.

"Hey," Caroline didn't really know Bekah but more witched up humans were coming in. "You distract that guy and I'll take him by the side."

"Oh and I be the distraction?" Rebekah said haughtily.

"Fine," Caroline snapped not giving a damn about who was who. "I'll be the distraction on his left and you come around to his right. Are you okay with that or would you like to wait for one of the members from the gang to come get you. We can work together and save ourselves."

Rebekah was about to say something when she closed her mouth. Hurt was so clear in her eyes as she looked across the room at Matt. There was that longing look again. Caroline looked at the Original and felt empathy. She knew what Rebekah was feeling. She had had a chance of escaping but she had stayed for the guy she liked. Now though she was being left to defend herself because the others weren't giving her the time of day.

Caroline nodded her head showing that she was ready and zooming out in a flash she rounded around somebody's left and could hear Rebekah getting up and taking him by surprise on the right. They stopped to look at one another. So far they had been the only team in the room to successfully take one down. They kicked ass together. Using the same technique they defended each other from three others which was no feat when the bad guys had weapons.

By the time Caroline and Rebekah took down another Damon and Stefan had figured out how to fight. The room was suddenly quieter as the fighting stopped. They all took gasping breaths as they tried to calm down.

"What about the others outside?" Elena was shaking.

"Blondie," Damon said directing it to Rebekah. "You have a fighting chance."

Rebekah turned her nose up. "And burn."

"Oh come off it," Stefan agreed with Damon. "You won't die."

"Oh so just send me out alone to fight them."

"Stop," Caroline held up a hand to stop the argument. She faced Rebekah. "It hurts when you go in the sunlight but you won't die."

Rebekah nodded slightly and Caroline breathed in. "I've never had anybody ask but yes it really does hurt."

"Okay," Caroline didn't have to think about it. She moved across the room and tugged at the ring on her finger. She pushed the silver metal into her jean pocket and studied the group outside. They were all living humans. "Then I go out."

"Caroline," Elena gushed out with shaking breaths. "Your ring doesn't work."

"Yeah," Caroline dragged the word out and felt sorry that she really didn't have the correct time to appreciate this moment with full smugness. "Didn't ever really need it."

She stepped out into the light and felt everybody in the room gasp and run over to the window to see her not burn up. To their surprise they didn't even see her flinch as the light hit her body. Clouds covered the sun again but it was enough time for the humans in front of her to see that she wasn't hurt by the sun.

She held up her hands and let her body shake. Her voice became watery and it was like she was begging. "Please," she cried out as she approached. "Please help me. I'm not one of them. Please."

"Well," a stern tall lady said. A man next to her looked her up and down. "She's not even wearing a daylight item anyway."

"I don't know," another man said.

"They said not to kill any humans." The lady reminded him.

"Please," Caroline wiped up pretend snot. Her knees almost buckled. Damn, she was a good actress. "I can tell you something. Like a secret."

The man by the woman leaned in and in an instant Caroline had her hands wrapped around his head. "Don't ever trust a vampire."

She hit the man on the head and he went down with a thud. Turning she took the woman out and faced the other ten people in the group. She ducked escaping a stake. Caroline was hoping Rebekah would make an appearance when werewolves attacked the group. It was very odd to see the town square flooded by them. It took two seconds till it was all over.

Damon stepped out of the Grill. "It's safe now." He looked down at his hand and his ring. "They work again."

The others came out and Milo turned back into a human. One look at his face and Caroline knew she was in trouble.

He pointed at her and anger seethed in his voice. "What the hell did you do with Polo?"

Caroline jumped to defend herself using the same voice as him. "I didn't know this was going to happen."

"Milo," Cora stepped around Jeremy and looked up at him. "She came because of me."

"Caroline," Damon shouted breaking the conversation up before it really ever began. It was a warning.

Suddenly she was on her back. Flopping over she easily pulled the human under her. He was trying one final attack and she was his target.

"Seriously not a good time," she told the man. He was much younger than any of the others had been. "I really don't want to hurt you but I'm kind of pissed off at the moment."

"Go ahead Angel," he sneered at her trying to pull his head up off the concrete ground. The moment he uttered the nickname Caroline felt terror. "Try and rip my head off like you did to my father."

Caroline had her hand around his throat when his words stopped her. Everybody had heard what he had said. They stood with the trashed Grill behind them. It was like the town was empty of everyone but those belonging to the supernatural world.

Caroline sat back as she stared at the man. "What did you just say?"

"You killed my father," the man was trying to fight her off of him. "I swear I'm going to kill you. That's what he did. Killed people like you. Freaks that shouldn't belong anywhere but in hell."

"The last person your father killed was a human," she said thinking about Millie. She stood up off of him and Jesse knocked him out. She didn't know what they would do to him.

"I'm sorry," she said to Milo as she brushed past him. She really was sorry that Polo had gotten caught up in all of this. They still weren't over the disappearing thing either so their relationship was struggling at the moment.

She knew she should have stayed to make sure everybody was okay. To help Matt fix up the Grill. And to answer everybody's questions about how she was immune to sunlight but she couldn't. She had just seen the son of the man she had brutally killed. She walked to her car her head bowed. Screw it if she was running away again. Caroline opened her car door and shut it. The air in the car was so stuffy. The passenger's seat became occupied by Cora. They were both silent.

"Do you want to tell me about him?" she asked quietly.

"Not really," Cora was even quieter. "I just really would like some sleep."

"Okay," Caroline nodded her head and put the car in reverse. She backed out of the spot and then switched gears to drive. All eyes were on her little red SUV but she didn't care.

"Hey," Caroline turned her head to look at her back door. Rebekah was standing on her porch. "I'm sorry that I just came through but you weren't answering your door."

"Oh," Caroline was very surprised to see her. And a little creeped out. "Uh, right."

Rebekah moved to the lounge chair next to Caroline holding her hand out asking if she could sit down. Caroline nodded yes.

"I've never really talked to you," she settled down into the chair. "I wasn't sure I really liked you."

"You just broke into my house," Caroline called her out. "And showed up on my back porch. So I don't think you want to start this conversation with that comment."

Rebekah crossed her feet on the lounge chair. They were spread out in front of her. She clasped her hands together and pursed her lips. "You know it takes a lot for somebody to impress me. And you killing Katherine has done that."

Caroline opened her mouth and then closed it.

"That man called you the Angel," she told her how she had figured it out. "We all thought somebody older had done it. You're much younger than Katherine."

"I just took her by surprise," she said truthfully. She stood up from her own chair. "I think before we go any further we need some margaritas in our hands."

Rebekah waited patiently for Caroline to come back and when she did she kept talking. "Is that other girl here?"

"She's upstairs," Caroline confirmed. "She just needs rest."

"Are you two close?"

"She convinced me to kill Katherine so yeah I guess we're really good friends." Caroline said sarcastically. She took a sip of her margarita. "Actually yeah we really are best friends."

Rebekah didn't speak for a moment. Caroline looked sideways at her and saw the same sad face that seemed to always be on her face.

"Why did you really come here?" Caroline asked. "It's only been a couple of hours since the attack. Shouldn't you be with your family?"

Rebekah inspected her fingernails and then buried them together again in a clasped ball. "You mean the brothers that always leave me. Kol left me there."

"You stayed there," Caroline softly challenged. Rebekah looked at her mad but Caroline quickly kept going. "You stayed because you wanted to protect Matt."

Her shoulders fell and she rolled her eyes at herself. "My brother calls me a fool every chance he gets. That stupid football player will never love me. He keeps going back to his ex-girlfriend. He values Elena's friendship more than any other interested suitor."

Caroline snorted into her drink. She waved a hand. "Honey, believe me when I say I totally get where you're coming from."

Rebekah stared at Caroline after her declaration. "Is it nice here?"

"In Mystic Heights?" Caroline's voice showed surprise. "We'll yeah it is. I mean like vampire drama free."

Rebekah laughed lightly before stopping and becoming quite serious. "I actually came here because I wanted to tell you thank you."

"For what?"

"You stayed to help all us especially me back there. I really didn't know how to fight them." She looked at her. "Tyler said you fight like a wolf."

"Yeah," she agreed with that statement.

"Do you feel like a wolf?" Rebekah's voice was so low.

Caroline nodded. At times, yeah, she felt like a wolf. She was part of the pack.

"It feels calmer here," Rebekah admitted.

"I'm telling ya," Caroline joked. "It's because there is literally no drama. Well I mean it's not like there's no drama but no saving the world type thing."

"Why are you being so friendly?" Rebekah said after a minute. She didn't understand how joking Caroline could be. "Aren't you afraid that I'm here to hurt you? Or that my brother's forced me to come spy on you."

"No," Caroline didn't. "Because one you just thanked me for saving you, two I don't think you enjoy doing what your brothers tell you to, and three I think you came here because you just wanted to take a breather from Mystic Falls."

Rebekah took a gulp from her drink. "You think you're so perceptive."

"I call it like I see it," Caroline said. "And I saw how upset you were when Kol left. And I saw how upset you were when you realized nobody from Mystic Falls cared that you were fighting those creepy things by yourself."

"I would have won against them," Rebekah needed to assure Caroline that she could have done it without any help.

"I bet you would of," Caroline didn't doubt it. She was an Original after all. "I'm just saying that a little help from the gang would have been nice."

"You know what I like about you," Rebekah smiled. It was just a little one though. "You don't bow down to them."

Caroline looked the girl up and down. "You don't bow down to them either."

Rebekah looked forward away from her. "I used to think I was strong. That it was just Nik and I who kept going. There was a time I think when we were equal. Now I feel like I'm just as much of his lackey as Elijah is."

"You have two feet," Caroline suddenly sounded inspirational. "You can stand on them on your own."

It was Rebekah's turn to snort. "You know they hate you for that. The others. It pains them to see you have such a full life here without them."

"They'll get over it," Caroline didn't care about that. "You can have a full life too if you wanted. No more longing over a stupid quarterback. No more dealing with their drama. I understand how they can just pull you around. It feels like they only like you when they need your help. I'm not saying you turn your back on your family but it's okay to have your own life. Don't let your brothers tell you that you're just the naïve dumb little sister."

Rebekah looked at her and for a sudden moment alarm swept over her. "I don't know why I'm even here."

"Because you wanted a friend," Caroline could see that the girl felt like a loner in Mystic Falls. "And I know what it's like to be the outcast in that town."

"I didn't ask you to be my friend."

"You don't ask somebody to be their friends." Caroline laughed. "It just happens."

"I won't be friends with the girl who's taken my brother. I know that he and I aren't close but after a thousand years all we have is our family. And he's part of that."

Caroline looked down at the drink in her hand and then back up. She held out her hand. "Pinky promise that you won't tell anybody this. Not even a brother."

Rebekah looked at the outreached pinky and slowly held out her own. "Pinky promise." This friend thing was going to take a while to get used to.

"I don't have your brother anymore." Caroline admitted. At Rebekah's confused look she was forced to explain more. "I gave him to somebody else."

"Who?" Rebekah had a mix of emotion. It was split between knowing she should be upset over her brother, and intrigue about what Caroline had done.

"Elijah," Klaus stormed into his house and into his living room. "Please give me an explanation on why the Grill was attacked."

"They didn't kill anybody. All the humans involved in the attack are sleeping off whatever enchantment is on them. They can give us information when they wake."

"Are you upset," Kol was lounging on the couch. "That it was the werewolves that came in and saved the day and not you."

"Shut your mouth brother," Klaus warned. His temper was in full gear.

"Milo did take one of the attackers," Elijah informed him. "Apparently it was somebody who was intent on killing Caroline. A vendetta of sorts."

"Your girlfriend can't be killed by sunlight," Kol sung.

Klaus's eyebrow rose. "Excuse me."

"Yes it's true," Elijah had to fill him in on what happened. Klaus had just gotten back from business in Italy. "Not even the slightest twinge of pain or burn."

"Oh," Kol turned to Klaus in excitement. "And Rebekah moved out. Ten bucks says she started a friendship with that girl."

Klaus looked at Elijah who just shrugged. He had no idea where their little sister had gone.

"Klaus, I do have news to tell you," Elijah paced.

"Don't tell me you've come up with a new treaty for the wolves."

"No," Elijah remained serious. "But I did see mother and father in town."

The room was silent. The three brothers looked at each other. A hint of fear crept into the air. This was very bad news.

Please leave a review telling me what you think. I love hearing all your thoughts and it's such great motivation for writing. I hope you guys know how much I appreciate you reading this story.
