A/N: I know this is a late update and I am extremely sorry. I will try to update more. Hopefully once a week.

Chapter 15

I reached Raphael's house out of breath and eyes burning from all the crying that I had done.

My heart had a sinking feeling when I saw the state that the outside of the house was in. The door was knocked down and all the windows where smashed.

Raphael? The only thing that I was able to hear was a light buzz. I couldn't help letting a sigh of relief escaping my lips. I knew that I hadn't gotten a reply but the light buzzing was a confirmation that he was alive.

Then I felt my heart sink once more when I had realised that even if he was okay it didn't mean that everyone else was. I took a deep breath and proceeded forward. The sudden movement sent a sharp pang to my head, I had been using my gift way too much. I swallowed the pain and moved forward, I couldn't wait any longer.

Suddenly an earth crippling scream ripped through the air.

"MUM!" my voice cracked as I screamed for my mum. I knew it was her, I didn't even know how but I knew that it was my mother. I ran into the house, ignoring my body's shouts for a longer break. My legs felt like lead and every breath I took made me feel like I was being stabbed with a knife.

I raced into the house to find my mum staring face to face with Jacob. He slowly turned his head to face me, blood splattered across his face. I felt tears sting at my eyes once more but I pushed them back, refusing to cry in front of such a sadistic person. One thought was racing through my mind Whose blood is that?

I looked at my mum. Pain and terror scrawled across her face. But she was unharmed. I felt myself relax a tinge but I still had another twenty lives that I was worrying about.

"Well, well, I didn't expect you to get here" Jacobs voice was rough and icy.

I completely ignored him and started to speak to my mum "Where is everyone else? Are they okay?"

"Everyone went into the woods to chase after the two of them but somehow Jacob made it back." Her voice was shaky "I stayed back to make sure you were okay." I could tell she was hiding something from me

"Everyone?" I knew that the Liana's little sisters were in the house as well, I very much doubted that their parents or any adult for that matter would allow them to chase after extremely dangerous psychopaths

She shot me a look that told me everything that I wanted to know.

Jacobs irritated voice disrupted me "Are you going to ignore me like that?"

"Oh I'm sorry. I didn't think your ego needed my acknowledgement" My voice was filled with sass. Who knew that I could be so sarcastic in a life threatening situation

"You really want to be hurt little girl" he moved forward ready to attack when a bolt of electricity shot through the air and hit him in the shoulder.

Strong arms wrapped around me and a smell that gave me so much comfort drifted into my nose.

"You really have a death wish" His voice seemed to strengthen me. I felt like I had suddenly gotten a full tank whereas before I was running on air.

I couldn't speak the only noise that I was able to make was a snort.

I looked at Jacob, trying my hardest not to get too caught up in the moment this was extremely hard with my Soulfinder's arms wrapped around me.

Hesitantly, I stepped out of Jacobs arms, immediately it felt as if a piece of me was missing. I walked over to my mum, eyes glued onto Jacob, ready to kick him as hard as I could at his slightest move. Once I got to my mum I gave her the tightest hug that I could imagine. I could feel all of my tears resurfacing but I didn't want to cry anymore, I had done enough of that on the way there.

"Whose blood is that on his face?" I asked the question that had been nagging at the back of my mind

"Your dads" her voice was small and weak. I loosened my grip on her, scared that I was going to break her.

I looked into her eyes "Did he go after them as well?"

"Yes. I tried to stop him, but..." Her voice cracked and tears started to stream down her face. The most heart breaking thing that there is in the world is to see your mum upset, it's ten times worse when you see her cry. It felt like I was falling to pieces just looking at her in such a state.

"It's okay mum" My dad was more stubborn than I was. I knew that he was probably angry and he probably wanted to do something to get them. He didn't think of himself at all, but it was to the extent that it was almost dangerous.

When I looked closer at my mums face I could see that she had blood along her hairline. I could tell that the cut wasn't deep but the actually length of it extended from the centre of her head all the way down to her right ear

"Who did that to you?" my voice was cold and angry

"The other one"

My face hardened and I looked up at Raphael who at some point followed me over to my mum. He was standing right next to me, staring at Jacob the way I had when I walked to my mum.

"Where are the girls?" I asked

At my words three heads popped up from behind the couch.

I crouched down and opened my arms to give them all a hug. None of them hesitated as they all ran into my arms, I squeezed them all tightly, they were like my family too.

"Samara, where d'ya go?" Cerlia said in a small voice. She was obviously scared, a girl her age should never of seen something like this.

Before I could answer her I heard something that seemed out of place. I shot up and stood infront of my mum and Raphael, pushing them both behind me.

"Whats's happening Samara?" Raphael's asked

The silence was heavy. I didn't know what to say, I didn't know what exactly was happening but I knew it was bad.
