Chapter 6

Hawthorn silently made his way out of the apartment, creeping stealthily out the door and locking it. Evelyn was all he could think about, as he walked to his car, carrying the last girl, Mary-Lynette, on his back. Her words rang inside his mind, haunting him as clear as a bell.

You bastard! I swear I'll leave you! I'll hate you!

He knew she didn't mean it. But she looked as if she did, and would, right before he made her forget about anything besides the two of them.

A little conscience was stirring in his mind. It kept chanting guilty guilty over and over as he recollected his thoughts.

The three girls in his back seat. He looked in his mirror quickly to make sure they were still knocked out.

They were all very pretty. Had it been not only a week ago, he would in fact try to make one of them his new ''play toy". But now, the only girl he could think about was Evelyn. Vev. He hissed slightly as he continued to ponder.

They were going to try to take her away from him. They were going to erase any memory from her mind that included him. She was his and he didn't want her to be gone, away from him. But that brought up a feeling he hadn't had a in a long time… Memories were coming up on their own accord now.

***Flashback***

Hawthorn looked at the beautiful witch in front of him. Long dark brown hair cascaded down her shoulders, meeting just above her waist. Aggressive green eyes met his in amusement and mockery. She smiled secretively.

"Are you sure you have to leave so soon?" Hawthorn murmured, kissing her throat.

She laughed. "Of course I do. You know how it is for my Circle... Very busy. But don't worry, I'll see you soon…"

He pulled away hesitantly. "Alright then…" He replied wearily. Something was bugging him but he decided to ignore it. So he left with one final goodbye and left.

Later, he found out from one of her friends she never had a meeting. Determined to find what the hell was going on, he drove up to her house and barged in her embraced with another vampire.

Hawthorn started to stutter, and finally snarled. "What the hell? Who the fuck is he!"

She just laughed maliciously and smiled a smile that had once lured him. Now it was a smile that belonged to a liar. "Don't you see? It's pretty clear to me. You were just one of those other play toys. Fun and amusing to start with, but boring and useless at last. You didn't expect we could really be together, did you?"

Just then, Hawthorn felt his heart break. Any hope and love he had for her quickly froze in the ice that was beginning to take over him. Darkness and hate erupted and consumed everything he believed in.

"You cheated with me, you fucking whore! I loved you! And you never cared! It was just a game to you, you lying little slut! Damn you to hell you stupid bitch!" Hawthorn finally got out. The expression that crossed her face when he exploded and flipped her off –shock, anger, and ire- gave him triumph. He had hurt her liken she had hurt him.

"Have a nice life, witch" He finally said, and stormed off.

From then on, he decided no more love. It hurt too much, and he would never, EVER be proved a fawning idiot again. He would become merciless in any feeling. And he wouldn't care.

Hawthorn noticed the steering wheel he was holding on too now had bended inward a little. A dent. He took a deep breath and calmed himself.

Evelyn had stirred up the hope and love he longed for ever since he locked it away. It was just a game for him until he realized how much she meant to him. He wouldn't be alone again. He couldn't. It was too late to back out now.

Soon enough, he parked the car in an alley way of a quiescent street, where a battered looking black van stood. Two bulky werewolves got out and started towards the car.

Time to face the music he thought grimly. He paused of getting out taking one more look at the girls. They looked so innocent, sure. But it's payback he reminded himself. So he gathered his thoughts, and took a step out of the car.

Panic was the only emotion I was feeling right now. I was also feeling betrayal; grief and a wave of pain too, all revolving around him. But my main concern was on the girls. I had to tell their soulmates, for they were the only ones who could probably locate them now. But as if on cue, the three inhumanly beautiful vampires crashed through the door that instant.

"Oh, thank God!" I cried out, jumping out of the bed. For a moment I felt dazed, but I quickly gathered myself and focused my attention on the three who could probably murder with their expressions now.

"Evelyn! What happened?" Quinn asked swiftly, his black fathomless eyes scanning the room. Though I knew it wasn't directed towards me, I suddenly had a feeling of glacial, cold ice.

I took a deep breath. "I-I don't know. I remember waking up here, remembering what happened the day before...He said he gave me back my memories? But he took the girls- he, he took them to someone bad- he did something to them, he-" I couldn't get out my words without stuttering. Without knowing, I started to shake.

The three boys looked over me quickly and gave sympathetic views.

"Just tell us the main thing. Where are the girls?" Morgead asked, his face in what I assumed a brace for anger.

"You idiot, it would be nice to ask her if she was alright first. I know your worried, hell I'm ready to kill if it means getting my Mare back, but she would seem unstable after all he put her through." Ash said, his eyes changing to a dark purple.

All three pairs of eyes looked at me now, and Morgead nodded in apology.

"I'm fine. I just, well, don't know anymore…But I'll figure it out. Right now I'm sure your soulmates are your top priority." I took a deep breath.

"He…took them to someone called…Hunter was it?" But the look the three got concluded my answer.

"Hunter? He took them to Hunter? Shit, we're going to have to find them fast." Quinn hissed, his anger boiling and radiating. Morgead and Ash narrowed their eyes, and looked as if they could take on the world that instant.

"Come on Evelyn. You shouldn't stay alone. You can come with us." Ash said, already moving towards the door. I nodded. When I saw Hawthorn, I would end it. There was nothing I could do now.

Please review! It'll only take a minute-maybe less. Also, please see my new poll!
