SPOV

Brady came bursting through the door, tremors still rolling through him. I glanced out the window to see that two more wolves had appeared. They were attacking my father and that little girl.

She looked so familiar...

"We have to go," Brady growled. My thoughts snapped back to the current situation. Brady had managed to get both Jessie and mum out the front door.

I hurried after them in a daze.

"Brent, go help them out." I turned around to see Brent nod once before running out the back door.

I turned again, shuddering. It was one thing to see Brady phase. One time was enough when it came to seeing my brother do it too.

Jessie, mum and Brady were already shove din the cab of the truck when I finally got there.

"We don't have all day," Brady snapped at me. I clumsily pulled myself into the truck, slamming the door behind me.

Brady tore up the roads the second the door shut.

I didn't bother asking where we were going. I knew that when Brady was in this mood, there was no point time for questions.

"Out of the car." I literally fell out of the truck in my hurry. Jessie fell right out after me. Brady helped mum out of the truck, allowing her to walk in front of him to the huge house he had stopped at.

He opened the door without hesitation. Mum walked in with the same attitude.

But Brady froze in the doorway, making both me and Jessie run into him.

"Who's this?" He asked tensely. I tried to look around him, but Brady blocked my view.

"What's going on?" Jessie whispered behind me. I shook my head, watching Brady's muscles visibly tense when no one answered.

"Who. Is. This." I saw Emily hurry out of the kitchen, hastily wiping her hands on her apron.

"This is Zoe. Seth dropped her off a few minutes ago." Emily looked at Brady meaningfully as she spoke.

"Brady relaxed immediately.

"Seth?" Emily nodded, smiling at me and Jessie.

I wanted it see this Zoe person! If Seth had finally imprinted, I wanted to make sure she was up for it. I mean, not anyone could handle Seth. You were either born with the skill, or you learned it.

"Now go, your brothers need you.
Brady nodded, moving out of the way. Jessie almost ran past him and straight for who I was assuming was Zoë. She had shoulder length blonde hair, and bright blue eyes. She was sitting, but she looked shorter than I was.

I moved to go after Jessie, but Brady grabbed onto my wrist. I looked back at him, confused.

His eyes were burning with some type of emotion I had never seen with him before.

"You have to understand that there is a chance I might not come back." I opened my mouth to protest, but Brady shook his head. "This kid has powers that may be dangerous. But you have to understand that if I don't come back, it's because I did something really stupid. But I only did it to protect you. Because I love you." I nodded, tears spilling onto my cheeks. "Good." And then he kissed me like he would never kiss me again.

I was holding back sobs by the time he let me go. He took a few steps backwards, watching me, his eyes full of pain and determination.

"Brady, wait." I stumbled forward, wrapping my arms as tightly as possible around his waist. "I love you too." I mumbled into his chest.

He kissed the top of my head, and then he was gone.

I took a deep breath, allowing Jess and Em to lead me back to the house.

"He'll be fine. They'll all be fine. They've fought against vampires with abilities before." Emily tried to reassure me, but I could tell she was doubtful. Sam had probably given her the same speech too. She glanced down at me, before getting up quickly.

"I should get back to the kitchen," she whispered, using the hem of her apron to wipe at her eyes.

Jessie sat down beside me for the next hour as I let tears silently roll down my cheeks. All the other imprints were in tears too, even little Claire who couldn't possibly know what danger Quil was really in.

But Zoe just sat on the couch, confused. She looked like she was hurting too, she just didn't know why.

I got up to sit beside her.

"Hi, I'm Skylar." She looked at me before smiling slightly.

"Zoe." She was probably my age, but she seemed younger in a way. Her bright blue eyes and shoulder length blonde hair making her seem more innocent.

"Seth brought you here?" She nodded, her eyes becoming distant.

"Yes, he said I would be safe here?" She looked at questioningly.

"I can't really tell you why, but he's right. You are safe here. We all are." Zoe nodded, looking out the glass back door..

"Will he come back?" she whispered. I glanced at her and then out the back door.

"Of course they will. He promised."

BPOV

This was crazy. How was I supposed to protect her from her own father without one of us getting hurt? Yeah, she said she didn't like her dad, but she didn't know what it was like not to have a father.

Abusive or not, he was still here. I wouldn't ruin that for her.

But I knew her dad wouldn't think twice before coming at me. Mind control or not.

I was his daughter's boyfriend. The boyfriend no one had informed him about. He was protective of her. Even more so than Brent was. That would be hard to get around… But it would be an advantage for us. I could be a distraction.

I phased the second I was in the cover of the trees, leaving the truck at Sam's. Where Skylar was. She would be fine.

I shook my head to get her expression when I left out of my head. I didn't need to be distracted too. Besides, I would go back to her.

Hopefully.

Nope. My nails dug into the dirt as I came to a stop.

I growled at Embry as he blocked my path.

Move. Embry shook his head

Sam's orders. Can't let you anywhere near the fight. They have a thing against you and you have people who need you n one piece. I growled again.

I can handle myself. Embry shook his head again, stepping towards me. I took an involuntary step back.

Phase back. Go back to her. I know you want to. I growled again. Damn wolf telepathy.

I want to fight for her. Now move. Embry shook his head, but stepped to the side.

Sam'll just send you back anyway. I ignored his thought, already running towards the fight.

Once there, I almost turned around and followed Embry's advice.

The pack was fighting each other. Every one of them had turned on their own brother. And I couldn't hear any of them. At all.

In the middle of it all, I saw Jacob trying to fight off whatever was controlling the others and trying to get to the smirking vampire.

In the end, he lost and turned on Quil who had just arrived.

I watched, dumbstruck for a second, before I realized that I should probably be going for help. From who? Not sure, but I needed to do something.

"Oh Brady!" I turned and bolted back towards the house.

They didn't come after me, instead, I heard someone's voice in my head.

Stop. It said and I obeyed. Go to Skylar. I knew very well that I shouldn't be doing this. But that voice was just so irresistible. So I kept running, leading the voice back to Skylar.

SPOV

Emily was starting to make us all really nervous. Even Jessie, who really had nothing to worry about.

She kept on pacing back and forth around the house, muttering to herself.

"Something's wrong. I can feel it." I wanted to tell her she was over reacting, but I could feel it too.

Something bad was happening.

"Skylar, what's going on? Why is everyone so…" Zoe gestured to the room of panicking imprints. I took a deep breath, trying to think through my fear. Zoe was probably just as freaked out as everyone else was.

She had probably just fallen in love, and suddenly, he was gone. Maybe to never return.

"Zoe, I promise there is a very rational explanation to all of this, but now is not the time." She frowned at me, but nodded.

"Later then." I nodded. I didn't mean to sound cranky, but I was scared and impatient for the guys to get back. Hopefully Seth would be able to explain before I would.

"Skylar?" My eyes snapped up to meet Emily's. "Brady's outside." My heart stopped for half a second.

Brady was outside? In one piece? Completely safe?

I jumped up from beside Zoe and bolted for the door. I pause for a second, something didn't feel right.

I hated to admit it, but Brady hadn't been gone for nearly enough time. He shouldn't be here.

I opened the door slowly, half hesitant and half excited.

"Brady?" He looked off, I didn't know what, but something was…different.

"Yes. Hi Skylar." He smiled, but that was wrong too.

I took a few steps back into the house.

"Hi. Uhm, where's Sam?" He looked confused for a second and then his expression cleared.

"At home." That did it. I slammed the door in his face, even more scared than before.

"Skylar? What's wrong?" I ignored Emily, going to lock all the windows and doors.

"That is not Brady." I turned to face Emily. She looked confused, but she believed me.

"What can I do?" I took a deep breath to calm my racing heart.

"We need to get him back from wherever he went. Somehow…" Emily nodded once before turning to the rest of the girls… And Kole.

"Anyone know how to win a boys heart?" They all stared at Emily blankly. Kole stuck his fingers in his ears. I couldn't blame them; I wasn't even really sure how to answer her question.

None of us had ever had to win a boys heart. Fate had done it for us.

Emily sighed.

"Me neither." She ran to the computer, pulling up Google.

"Try reminding him of things you did together?" I stared at Kim wide eyed.

"You want me to go back out there?" Kim sighed.

"Good point…"

"You'll have to go back out Sky, it's not like they have a PA system…" I glared at Jessie, but what she said made sense.

"You're right. You're both right." I set my jaw and head for the door.

"Good luck!" Mum called after me. I rolled my eyes, opening the door.

"What's wrong?" He sounded the same, with same attitude and the same posture.

But this wasn't my Brady.

"Nothing's wrong. Why are you back so early?" I stayed close to the door as I spoke.

"They didn't need my help. Everything was under control. They told, me to come back to you." I nodded slowly.

Great. So all the guys were like this then. Now what do we do?

"That's nice." Now Brady nodded, stepping closer to me.

"There's a friend from home here to see you." I shut my eyes.

"Who?" I whispered, pressing myself against the door.

"Katrina." I shuddered as Brady's fingers brushed against my cheek bone.

I opened my eyes only to see Nessie fly and out and tackle Brady.

"Nessie?" She got up easily, distancing herself from both me and Brady as he shook.

"Hi Sky. Don't worry, everything is under control. She smiled, but her eyes were tight. "Go back inside now." I was still in shock, but I managed to get myself back inside.

"What happened?" Jessie asked immediately.

"Nessie's taking care of it," I whispered.

"Who's Nessie?" Jessie questioned.

"I'd like to know that myself." Everyone except Zoe, Jessie and I looked at each other guiltily.

"Take a seat Sky, it's a long story."

Sorry everyone for the super long wait! I just had so much to do!

Volleyball season came to an end basketball season starting Tuesday. My birthday was on the 18th and my best friend's on the 26th... (Speaking of her, I wrote the beginning of a story for her. I posted it a few days ago. Go check it out!)

So much... But I finally finished this chapter and started on the next one. So I now have three stories I'm supposed to be working on right now... I hope that doesn't slow me down too much..

Anyway thanks for sticking with me!
