Winning

Decklen POV

I ran out of that house as quickly as I could. How could she just go back to him after he hurt her so badly? She can do so much better then him. He doesn't even seem like he cares about her. This is hell. The one guy that we all thought was dead happens to be alive and a vampire. She's going to be spending hours with him learning control. When there not learning control they will be doing god knows what. My stomach tightened thinking about that. Rage filled me. She is wonderful and dissevers someone that won't hurt her like he ever did.

I have to hunt. I tracked a bear to relive some anger. When I finally found the bear I pretended it was Tim and attacked it. The bear put up a good fight. I wrestled with it for a little bit the got bored and snapped its neck. I quickly sucked it dry and felt much better. I uprooted a close by tree and put the limp body under it. No one would find it there.

I walked slowly through the woods towards the house. How can I tell Brydon? He likes her a lot. I can't believe I didn't see it before. He's even more in love with her then I am. He was always afraid to love her that's why he's always fought with her. He shouldn't be afraid. I don't love her as mush as he does so there is no competition between us. I've never been able to see myself with her, as I wanted us to be. I was her protector. I loved her because of it but it wasn't love, real love. It was sibling love. Well that's a good thing to have clear in my head now. I started to run to the house.

How do I tell Brydon that she's with Tim now? I guess I should just come out and tell him. How is he going to react though? I don't want him doing something really stupid. I could see the house now. I ran in and saw Tanya reading a book.

" You didn't tell Brydon did you?" I asked her.

" No I didn't I thought you would want to." She said.

" Thanks mom." I said.

She looked up and smiled at me. " Your welcome but I think you should get cleaned up before you tell him."

I looked down at my shirt. It was covered in mud along with my pants. " Yeah I guess your right." I said. I ran up the stairs and into the shower. I washed my self quickly and got dressed into clean clothes.

I walked to Brydon's room. I could hear his music playing softly. He wasn't angry but sad. The music was low and soft and mostly acoustic. I knocked on his door.

" Yeah?" He said. His voice sounded muffled.

" Can I come in?" I asked. He didn't say anything. I opened the door. He was on his stomach on the bed left arm over the pillow and the right arm under. His face was pressed hard into it. I closed the door behind me. " It's quiet around here." I said. He kept quiet. " I've got something I need to tell you." I said

" What?" He asked in a whisper. Aw crap he's dying from this.

" I don't think your going to like it." I said.

" Honestly I don't think that it could make the situation suck anymore then it already does."

" This will but I have good news after. I saw Tim."

" No you didn't. He's dead." He said sourly.

" No he's living with the Carrolls'." I said

He was quiet for a long time. " Is she happy?" his voice sounded weak.

" That's not the point little brother. Its if your happy or not and your not. So what are you going to do about it?"

"Nothing. She loves him. If she's happy that's all that matters."

" Wrong. I'm helping you win her back." I said. He sat up and looked at me.

" When do we get started?"

" Now."
