beside her, “What’s your name?”

“Lorraine.” She muttered

“Cool, my name’s Kelsey. Now, tell me where it hurts the most.”

“My ribs then the back of my head.” She said

I nodded and lifted up her shirt, “Don’t worry I have a boyfriend. I promise not to rape you.”

She smiled slightly and her body shook a little before she groaned.

“Don’t make me laugh.” She said smiling

“Sorry.” I smiled placing my hand on her left rib cage

She winced slightly and I apologized. I closed my eyes and thought of a fixed rib cage. I guess school does come in handy. Who knew?

I felt energy rush out of me but I only hand to do it twice because I could feel the bones slowly connecting again.

I opened my eyes, “You’re head hurts?”

“Yes.”

I lifted her head slightly and place my hand under it. I felt sticky stuff there and I don’t even want to think about what it is.

I closed my eyes and felt more energy rush out of me as I healed her.

I opened my eyes and took a deep breathe, “Any where else?”

“It’s alright, Dear. You’ve had enough.” She smiled

I looked over her and saw that she had tons of bruises and scratches. I can’t let Jasmine see her mother this way.

“It’ll only take a second.” I said setting my hands on her head

“No! Dear, don’t! You’re going to get too tired!” She yelled before I pushed bolts of energy into her

I felt myself drain slightly but I still had power from when that crazy demon witch gave me some but it turns out he was trying to kill me. That sneaky bastard!

I pushed another current of energy out before laying down beside her.

“Is everything alright in there?” I heard Jasmine’s voice ask

Lorraine sat up, “You may come in.”

The door slammed against the wall as Jasmine rushed in, followed my the others.

Benji came to my side with a bottle of water. He unscrewed the top and lifted my head up,

“Drink.” He commanded

“Yes, Sir.” I teased before drinking the water

When I finished it I felt a little better.

“I want a cookie. Peanut butter cookie.” I groaned getting up

Benji pushed me back down, “We’ll get it.”

“I have to get up anyway. We have to go get Kyle.”

“But-” I cut him off

“Move.” I said trying to sit up again

He pushed me back down.

“Benjamin London Toyley! Let me up now.” I said

“How do you know my full name?” He frowned

I frowned too, “I don’t know.”

I shrugged and took advantage of the distraction and quickly got up.

“Lorraine? Do you have a cookie for the road?” I asked sweetly

She smiled, “Yes.”

I beamed at her and ran out of the room, all the way to the kitchen. I sat down and waited for Lorraine to come in so she could give me my cookie.

She walked in and went to a cabinet.

“Do you have peanut butter?!” I asked excitedly

“Yes, Dear.” She chuckled

“Good!” I said bouncing up and down in my seat

She got out a package of peanut butter cookies and set them in front of me. I ripped the package open and started stuffing cookies in my pockets and mouth.

“Kelsey.” Benji scolded

“Wha?” I asked with my mouth full of deliciousness

He gave me ’The Look’. I glared at him and shoved another cookie in my pocket.

“What?” I asked with attitude

“Put them back.” He said crossing his arms over his chest

“Kiss my black ass.” I said quietly so Lily wouldn’t hear

“It’s not black!” He yelled exasperated

I turned to Lorraine, “Is it alright if I have all these cookies? Yes. Oh, thank you!” I stuffed more cookies in my pockets

“Kelsey!” Benji yelled

I turned to him, “What do you want now?!”

“Put. Them. Back.” He said slowly

“Lorraine said I could have them!” I whined

“No she didn’t!” He yelled

“Ask her.” I retorted crossing my chest

He turned to Lorraine, “Can she have your cookies?”

“Yes. It’s quite alright.” Lorraine smiled

“Ha ha.” I teased stuffing another cookie in my mouth

He glared at me, “Hurry up.”

I nodded and grabbed the rest of the cookies, shoving them in my pocket. I stood up,

“Thanks for the cookies.” I mumbled through the three cookies that are currently in my mouth

“It’s my pleasure.” Lorraine smiled, “You did, after all, heal me.” She added in awe

“Now that was my pleasure.” I smiled

“Now Lorraine, don’t open the door for anyone. If it’s us, make us confirm that it’s actually us. We’re leaving Lily here because we-re going to the see-ers kingdom. They have Kyle.” He finished looking pained

Jasmine set her hand on his arm and rubbed it. Aw!!!!

“What?!” Lorraine practically yelled

“Damn women, you got some lungs on YOU!” I yelled in shock

Who knew old people could still yell? Did you? I didn’t.

She ignored me which made me laugh, “They have my Baby Boy?!”

“Yes.” Jonny sighed

“Why?” She asked worried

“They want Kelsey.” He said motioning to me

She looked at me and I flinched from the coldness of her eyes.

“Why did they take Kyle when they want you?!” She screamed at me

I shifted uncomfortably, “Um…”

“Mom! She’s the Uniter!” Jasmine yelled

“So?! Why did they take Kyle?!” She yelled giving me a murderous look

“She’s his mate.” Jonny stated

Lorraine’s eyes widened, “Oh…um…I’m so sorry!”

I nodded slowly, “Yeah…it’s all good.”

She still looked apologetic but found out that there wasn’t anything she could really say that will help the situation. I already forgave her so….What else could she say?

“So…are we gonna go?” Benji asked probably sensing my discomfort. I’m pretty sure everyone can feel it.

“Yup!” I yelled, “Lorraine, thanks for the cookies. They’re my favorite. Bye Lily. See ya’ll soon!” I added running out to the truck

I noticed Alpha Rick’s truck behind Jonny’s. I ran over to it and motioned for him to roll his window down.

“Wazzup?!” I yelled

He leaned back and blinked at my outburst, “What?”

“Wazzup?!” I smirked

“What?” He asked even more confused

I sighed heavily, “What. Is. Up?”

“Oh…why didn’t you just speak like a normal person? And nothing is up.” He smiled

I nodded, “Cool! I almost got bite by a demon. But other than that, I’m all good!”

Everybody gasped, “Are you alright?!”

“Sheesh, calm down Ricky Bobby’s. I said I’m good.” I smiled

They sighed, “Good.”

“Yup! So, we’re about to leave. Be ready! Ahhhhhhhh!” I yelled running back to the truck

I hopped in the back and sat Indian style. I waved at Rick.

“OMG! I was just over there, now I’m over here! Magic! Oooooh!” I yelled stuffing two cookies in my mouth

The pack walked over and got in the car.

“Remind me why I agreed with her having cookies.” Benji frowned

“I don’t need your permission to get cookies, Dip-shit!” I yelled eating another one

Adam got in back with me and shut the door. I turned to him.

“So, shape-shifters aren’t in this?” I asked eating yet another cookie

“I don’t know who that was.” He defended

“If I see one shape-shifter when we get to the see-ers kingdom. Something bad is going to happen to your kind. Got it?” I asked

He nodded, looking scared. Good! I turned around and set my hands on the back of the seat by Benji’s head.

“Wazzup, Benji?” I asked kissing his cheek

“I’m regretting the cookie decision.” He sighed

“You should see me when I eat spaghetti!” I exclaimed

“Spaghetti?” They questioned

“Yeah! I get SOOOOO hyper!” I yelled, Can we have spaghetti for dinner tomorrow?!”

“No.” They all said at once

I pouted and leaned back, “Well, forget you guys too.”

They didn’t reply so I closed my eyes and let down my wall.

“Kyle? Are you ready to tell me anything?”

I asked

“Kelsey!”

He yelled

“I’ll take that as a no. Bye…again.”

I said before blocking him out

“How much further?” I asked munching on a cookie

“About 20 minutes.” Jonny answered

I nodded and turned to Adam, “Wanna cookie?”

“Sure.” He smiled

I dug into my pocket and pulled out a whole cookie. I handed it to him and he stared at it.

“Well…aren’t ya gonna eat it?” I asked, wondering why he hadn’t devoured it yet

“I’m not sure it’s safe to eat.” He frowned

“Fine.” I snapped and grabbed the cookie out of his hand, stuffing it in my mouth. “There, no cookie for you.” I smirked

He turned his nose up, “That’s nasty.”

“Ya Mama!” I yelled

He frowned, “Wow. You are one CRAZY chick.”

“Aw, thanks.” I smiled

The pack laughed as did I.

I sobered up and turned to Adam, “Do you have any idea where they might be holding Kyle?”

“All I know is that he’s on the west side of the kingdom.” He looked sorry that, that was all he knew

“Thanks.” I smiled

We pulled over. I looked around and saw that we were surrounded by trees. I’m just gonna tell you guys right now, I DO NOT do the forest. I am a straight city girl.

“Um…” I trailed off looking at everybody

They all got out and shut the doors behind me. Benji came around and opened the back door. I hoped out as did Ad.

“Why are we in the forest?” I asked looking around

“The see-ers kingdom is through here.” Jonny said pointing into the darkness

“Jonny, I don’t have night vision.” I stated

“Well, you need to get it.” He smiled

I laughed as Rick’s pack walked over to us. Benji immediately walked over to Aliyah and grabbed her hand.

“Aw! Benji!” I jumped up and down

He lost his smile and glared hard at me as Aliyah laughed. That didn’t ruin my mood.

“Don’t be rude, Benji!” I scolded glaring at him

I smirked as his eyes softened.

“Okay, how are we gonna do this?” I asked turning away from Benji before he could apologize

“We will split up into four groups. Packs combined because some of us know more than others. They’ll be expecting us to attack from the back, so we are attacking from the front. We will also attack from the sides. Kelsey you are not attacking from where they are holding Kyle. Do you understand me?” Jonny said staring at me the ENITRE FRIGGIN’ TIME!

“That’s not cool, dude!” I yelled, my eyes blazing

“I don’t really care. They will expect you to try to find Kyle first. So we are not do that. Right?” He glared

I glared right back, “Yes, we are.”

“No. We are not.” He growled using his Alpha tone

I blinked, unfazed by his little Alpha-ness, “We’ll see.”

“Maybe she’s right, Jonathan. She’s the most powerful of us.” Jasmine said setting a comforting hand on his arm

I smirked smugly, “What now?”

“No. I refuse to put her in that much danger. Kyle will not lose his mate because the see-ers are psychotic bitches.” He growled loudly and started shaking

I blinked again and saw Jasmine trying to calm him down.

“Fine! I’ll listen to you, for now. Better not get used to it.” I glared

Jonny took a deep breathe and nodded.

“But I’m attacking from the back.” I stated

His head snapped up and he locked eyes with me, “To hell you are.”

“Either that or I go straight to Kyle.” I said crossing my arms over my chest

“I like her.” I heard someone mutter

I raised a brow, “Offer end in three seconds. You don’t answer I’mma go straight to Kyle.” I shrugged

His eyes glazed over.

“3,2-”

“Fine!” He boomed, “You can attack from the back!”

I beamed at him, “Thanks, Jonny!”

He rolled his eyes and turned to Rick.

“Meanie.” I muttered

I saw him roll his eyes again. I laughed and turned around. Elias was talking to Amabelle.

Why don’t I embarrass him too?

“Aw! Eli! So cute!” I said pinching his cheek

He also lost his smile and glared at me while Amabelle held back her giggles. I turned and saw Olivia.

“Olivia! I haven’t seen you in forever!” I said hugging her

“I saw you like a minute ago.” She chuckled hugging me back

I looked over at Jessiah, “I’mma steal her.”

He growled playfully and grabbed her waist, pulling her away from me.

I lowered into a fighting stance, “I will fight till the death for her.”

He let go of Olivia’s waist and also crouched down into a fighting stance except he looked like a deformed walrus.

I burst into a fit of laughter at my last thought, “You!…You look like!….a deformed….Walrus!”

He stood up straight and started stalking over to me.

“Ummm…”
