Solange
You could hear a pin drop. Totally, stunned silence. Evan the wilderness seemed to still in its quarrels, as the news set. I didn't want to believe what I saw, but the evidence only allowed my mind to think up one of many terrible conclusions to offer as an exclamation. I mean Violet Hill wasn't exactly safe at the moment.
I knew Lucy loses jewellery all the time, she can be clumsy and is always on the go, but never was it found accompanied with blood. I saw dad take a sip of brandy, defiantly not good. Alcohol was always a sign of dads barley controlled calm. Nicholas on the other hand was a volcano starting to erupt. He was gripping the wooden arms so tightly that the wood started to dent. His eyes , where as cold as ice.
"Where did you get that?" he spat, his fangs elongating during his sentence.
I felt proud that hunter didn't back away at the look she was receiving; many would have made a hasty retreat. However I did see her hand flinch towards her stake. That made me smirk, her vampire hunting instincts where drilled into her well. If the situation wasn't serious that might have caused me to laugh.
I glimpsed Logan and Quinn moving to be closer to their other halves, borderline bodyguards. I didn't blame them Nic didn't look right, his actions where reckless and silly sometimes, when it came to Lucy. Also Duncan and Sebastian edged their way closer to Nicholas, while Conner started rapidly tapping away at his laptop, doing techno stuff I didn't pay enough attention to, to understand.
I zoned back, in as Isabeau stepped forward, her necklaces reflecting of the light. "It was found by the oak tree, there was also an unknown scent discovered." She took a steadying breath before continuing "She appears to have been dragged to the outskirts of the compound, where the trail goes cold." Her heavy French accent coated the speech in mystery and exotic essences.
You could tell she was affected, I could say that we were all one hundred per cent affected by this. Lucy was family and even though Hunter and Isabeau hadn't known her for that long she had kicked and talked her way into their hearts. Whoever did this is gonna regret this…big time!
Nicholas growled and stood up so suddenly, that if I was without vampire senses he would have just been a blur of black. Duncan and Sebastian where, just, as quick . They grabbed him. My emotions mirrored Nic's, though his expression of pained anguish etched made many of us look away. Dad's normally calm face held sadness and an underlying anger. I didn't think any of us looked any better.
The smashing of an object in the hall made everyone jump and snap out of their brooding.
Mum stormed in like a forest fire, bristling and unstoppable. Her face showed determination and anger. Her hair seemed to be flown backwards by an invisible force. A gleam reflected from her hand, on closer inspection I saw a dagger already being gripped so tight I was surprised it didn't bend.
"She hasn't been home, last they heard of her she was on her way here…two days ago!" Mums voice rang of power and authority- Warrior mode.
"Shit" Connors exclamation dragged everyone's attention towards the laptop screen. He looked up and looked me straight in the eye "She was coming to meet up with you." His voice was a soft whisper, but sounded like a deafening scream to my ears, I couldn't stop staring ….it was my fault!
