Chapter 30 - Mourning...

I have no idea what day it is or what the time is. Why are my arms in restraints? "Raven Star, what happened?" Dahila asked. "I'm sorry Luna, you were sedated because you became hysterical, your parents did it out if everyone's safety" My wolf replied. "That's bullshit! How can they not prepare me properly for any of this?!" Dahlia yelled at her wolf. "I'm sorry Luna, you must have been very upset, you awakened your spirit wolves again" Raven Star replied. "When you wake up, please try to be understanding" my wolf replied. I open my eyes, I confirm my suspicion, my hands and legs are restrained and I'm tucked into my bed. I see my mom and dad, along with Lockhart and Helga. They don't even know I'm awake yet. They're too busy arguing back and forth. "Did you have to Sedate her!" my mom yelled. "Emma, you saw that her eyes turned blood red again, you remember what happened to me in the gym" my father yelled. "I don't think she will be understanding with any of this" Lockhart said. "News flash, I'll be pissed if you don't untie me" Dahlia said surprising them all. "Dahlia!" my mother cried. "Untie her" my mom yelled. "Emma, look at her eyes, one is still red" Lockhart replied. "I'm telling you I'm in control!" Dahlia stated. "My wolf stated that I've awaken the spirits" Dahlia continued. "You can untie me or I'll go ahead and break the restraints" Dahlia commanded. "I think we should do as she says" my mom whimpered. "Untie her" my dad says not looking at me. Helga, goes to untie me and she whispers in my ear "I'm sorry". I just glare at her. She releases me and I scramble out of bed. "How long have I been out?" Dahlia demands. "2 days" Lockhart says without making eye contact. "We didn't know what was going to happen, so we gave you extra sedation" Lockhart finished. "You guys wasted 2 days on sedating me?" Dahlia said. "I can't believe you guys" Dahlia said with disappointment. "Where's Jackson?" I asked. "He should be outside the door" my dad stated. "Can you guys give us some privacy, I want to talk to him alone" Dahlia said. Dahlia doesn't wait for anyone to say anything as she turns and moved toward her bedroom door. Dahlia opens the door to see Jackson standing there....alone. "Jackson... are you alright?" Dahlia asked. "Yes Luna!" Jackson says with tears streaming down his face. "I am so sorry this happened, it's all my fault" Dahlia said crying. "I will make it right I promise" Dahlia stated. "Dahlia, will you come to his funeral" Jackson sadly said. "Of course, I'll stand next to you the entire time" Dahlia says. "It's not your fault Luna, please don't feel it's your fault" Jackson said. I give Jackson a hug and I turn to go back inside my room. "Mom, dad, I love you two, but you definitely crossed a line. I want you to plan and oversee Timmothy's funeral. We hold it today, do you understand?" Dahila says coldly. They can tell I mean business. "Now everyone out!" Dahila yells. I watch everyone leave, I folloq them to the door and shut it. "You did very well Luna" Raven Star states. "I wanted to rip them to shreds" Dahlia stated. "I know I'm just angry now, but I feel so betrayed" Dahlia said again. "It's understandable, we will get through this" My wolf replied. "Raven Star, we now have only 3 days until the shift and I feel so overwhelmed again" Dahlia said to her wolf. "We will get through this, please stay positive" My wolf replied. "I'm trying but I feel so helpless" Dahlia replied. "I get it, I really do" my wolf said. I think on what my wolf said and I know I need to be strong. I walk over to my closet, open the door. I'm looking something, I can wear to a funeral. I didn't think I would have to attend a funeral so soon in my life. I'm starting to feel like I'm a bad omen and that death follows me no matter where I go. I dig in the closet and I find a donated black dress. I try it on and it fits well. I take it off and put it on my bed. I'm still in disbelief that this happened. I'm worried about Jackson, they were brother's, but they were also twins. A bond that can only rival a mother and unborn child. I walk over to my vanity and decide I want to do my make-up early. At this point I'm not even suprised by my appearance. I have one Crimson eye and one Purple eye. "I'm not even surprised at this point" I muttered to myself. I do the basics, just eye liner and mascara. I put the black dress on and I walk over to my Bay window to sit and wait. I hope everything is better after I shift. A couple hours go by and there's a 'Knock, knock' at the door. I casually get up to go answer it. I open the door and Jackson is waiting for me. I've never seen him like this, he's completely cleaned up in an all black suit. His eyes are red and puffy, I know he's been crying. "Luna, will you do me the honor and join me" Jackson says with a bow. "Yes, and remember I will always be here for you" Dahlia replies. Dahlia interlocks her arm with Jackson's and they make there way to the funeral service. To my surprise, Jackson walks me out to the beach where his brother's body lies on a pile of wood. "What's that?" I ask. "It's how we honor the dead" Jackson replies. I nod my head in understanding. We get to where; my mother. father, Lockhart, some nurses and a handful of soliders wait. I ignore them, my attention is on being there for Jackson. Everything seems surreal. I'm standing there zoned out while everyone takes their turns with their speech of condolences and how Timmothy changed their lives. All I can see is the creatures of the night. All I can see is Timmothy's lifeless torn, bloody body. I can see his ripped out flesh and his blood covering my bedroom floor. He was such a young, sweet, innocent guy, he didn't deserve that. When they are done, they set Timmothy's body, which lays on the shrine of wood on fire. "They're going to pay" I tell my wolf. "Yes, Luna as you wish" Raven Star replied.
