Chapter 29 - Homeward Bound

We pile into the SUV and head towards my dad's shop. Today, was such a good day and I'm glad we were able to do it. As much as I missed Dravenwood, I'm ready to go embrace my destiny on Ravenwood Island. I never thought my parents had to do so much to keep me alive, including my identity. Wait...Mr. Hardy called me; Ms. Ravenwood. "Mom, dad, Mr. Hardy called me Ms. Ravenwood, when I talked to him privately" Dahlia said with fear. "I didn't even realize it, because of all the formalities on the Island" Dahlia stated. "Oh my god!" My mom said. "Jackson, hurry to the shop!" my dad yelled. "Whats going on?!" Dahila asked again with fear. "Mr. Hardy, isn't who he claimed, he knows your real identity!" my dad said with panic. "Keep calm everyone, let's just get to the shop" my dad said. How could I be so stupid. I didn't even realize he called me by my last name. "Dahila, prepare yourself" Raven Star chimed in. "Whats going on?" I say back. "Mr. Hardy was a Vampire, he smelled of evil" My wolf replied. "Oh my god!" I say out loud. "What's wrong" my dad said. "Raven Star just told me he smelled of Vampire" Dahila said. "Vampire!" my dad stated visibly affected. "This isn't good" my mom said with tears in her eyes. "How did we not sense him" my dad yelled. "We have to hurry" my mom stated. My entourage grasp the gravity of the danger we're all in and Jaskson speeds up the SUV. "Hold tight Luna, it will be bumpy" He said with harden eyes. "Dad, what's going on?" I yell. Dahlia, we wanted to tell you the full story about your parents, after the shift, apparently, it can wait no longer" my dad said defeated. "Your parents were murdered by Vampires teaming up with that rival pack. The king Vampire had a grudge against your parents because your true father, killed his mate" my dad said. "Why would my spirit wolves warn me against a witch?" Dahlai asked. "The Vampire, King; Tobias Hardening had a powerful witch to camouflage him and his band of murderous underlings, to this day, we haven't been able to identify the witch" My dad continued on. "Why would you hide this from me?" Dahlia stated. "We weren't expecting a conflict" my mother stated. "The last few weeks has been nothing but conflict" Dahlia yelled. "Dahlia, we don't know the identity of the witch, so we don't know if you two have ever been in contact before" my dad stated. "It doesn't make it okay, to continually lie to me" Dahila said. We arrived at my dad's antique shop. I'm pissed and scared. Everything is starting to make sense now. I'm a child born into a dispute that's lasted over a generation. Is my life ever going to be not complicated? We get out of the SUV, and my parents and I make a dash for the portal. I'm a little calmer knowing we made it here in one piece. I open the door to the shop and I hear "Ruuuuuuuunn Luna!" I look back and I can see a horde of monsters running towards us. Jackson and Timmothy shifted and are safeguarding our passage. "We can't leave them" I say to my parents. "We must" My dad says coldly. I can hear the commotion and my parents shove me through the portal. "Waiiiiiit.." I try to yell, to make them wait for the bodyguards I've come to admire. Before I know know it I'm flung into my room at Ravenwood, followed by my parents. and then my body guards and a couple of those scary monster looking things. I notice my dad breaks the chair. I notice Timmothy, is lifeless and torn to shreds and my mom and dad are now fighting with the wounded Jackson. There's blood every where. The noises these creatures are making are a terrible screech. They are relentless, trying to bite. My parents kill the rest, Jackson collapsed but conscious "Emma, mind link Lockhart" my dad yells. I don't argue, with him. My body guards and parents need aid. A few minutes later, Lockhart and a handful of nurses come crashing in. "What the hell happened here!?" Lockhart asked. "A long story short, we were found and mislead by Tobias and his minions back at Dravenwood, we almost got back unscathed" my dad replied. "Tobias!" Lockhart nearly yells. Check on Jackson and Timmothy. Emma and myself are fine, it's the underlings blood, we're not harmed" Ethan stated. "I'm sorry to say, Timmothy has passed" Lockhart exclaimed. "Timmothy No!" Jackson cries. "Oh my god Timmothy" Cried Dahlia. "Jackson, you will heal from your wounds" Lockhart announced. "Oh my god Jackson, I'm so sorry!" Dahlia rushes to her body guards aid to comfort him. "Get away from me" He screamed fighting the urge to turn. "Nurse! Sedate him" Lockhart yelled. The nurse's held down Jackson and they stabbed him in the neck with a syringe, much similar to what they did to mom, all he did was yelp and he was out. "What are we going to do!?" Dahlia cried with her hands covering her face. "We need to double the guard and will assign you new guards Dahlia" my father stated visibly upset. "That's not the point, they were my friends!" Dahlia yelled. "What the hell were those things!" Dahlia said frantically. "They were things out of nightmares" Dahlia continued on, almost into hysterics. "Calm down, we will tell you" My mom said. "Those were Vampire underlings, vicious and deadly, if a wolf isn't in their wolf form, without proper experience it's hard to win" my father stated. "We had to fight several in the war" my mom stated. "why were they after us!" Dahlia yelled. "I'm sorry to say, but they were most likely after you Dahlia" Lockhart stated. I'm almost to my breaking point. Watching those creatures from hell attack us, could be my undoing. They didn't have eyes, ears or a nose, just a mouth full of razon sharp teeth. They ran towards us on all fours and they looked like their flesh was burnt. Pure, demons from hell. My parents start to notice I'm losing my shit and fast. I see my dad nods at Lockhart and the nurses start walking towards me. "What the hell did you just say dad!" I scream. "Calm down, it's for your own good" my father said. The biggest nurse in the room; Helga, comes right at me and stabs me in my neck. My surroundings go black and I fall onto Helga as she braced for my fall. The last thing I hear is Helga whisper "I'm sorry".
