Chapter 51 - Chapter 51

Jace:

"Cam, I know all of this is probably too much, but it is important for you to trust Cas and myself. I know it seems much worse than it sounds but it would not be helpful for you or Scar if we are tense and stressed out." I try to give him a reassuring smile, but I know that he senses that I don't even feel reassured by my own words.

"I know dude I just... I guess I overreacted. I guess I didn't think that we would ever keep any secrets from each other...especially with her having special gifts or like her incident. Or maybe we just hadn't had enough time to talk before her accident. I mean I knew things would change I guess I just didn't realize that they would change this much." He gives me a pained look, one that I understand all too well.

"Oh Cam, I completely understand, it's been what 2 weeks or something like that? Time is honestly starting to run together for me. I am sure that she would have told you eventually, you guys are the closest siblings that I have ever met or seen in my life. I just really hope that we get to take her home soon." My heart squeezes tight in my chest, partially in pain and partially in hope but mostly I think it squeezes in sadness. Cam gets up pacing, visibly distressed and deep in thought.

"If I am supposed to be some ultimate protector then why in the hell was I not able to protect Scar from getting hit by a drunk driver? Or better yet why couldn't I save my parents from being killed by the drunk driver?!" I look at his face and I can see angry tears full of pain streaming down his face. I walk over to him and pull him into a tight hug, I try to find the right words to comfort him, but I cannot find words at all. I try to force any words at all out of my mouth, but they get caught on the huge lump that has formed in my throat, my heart aches and breathing has become a challenge due to the lump. I wish that I could do something more to help comfort my friend I just don't know what I could possibly do to help.

Stella:

I'm walking through a forest, and I see Cam kneeled on the ground in a huge pool of blood. I start to walk forward when someone grabs me from behind. I spin around and see James is the one who has grabbed my hand.

"Baby, no stay here with me. I promise you that you really don't want or need to go up there." I see his eyebrows pull together and I feel panic squeeze in my chest causing my stomach to turn to knots.

Before I get a chance to ask him what he knows I see Jace running towards us, and James releases my hand in an attempt to stop him before he can reach Cam. Unfortunately, Jace was able to dodge his grasp and I watch as Jace finally reaches Cam. I watch Jace crumple to the ground and the look on his face shatters, it looks as though a piece of his soul has just died before my very eyes. My heart slams hard against my ribs and I can't breathe, I have to know what happened.

I slowly walk forward scared as to what I will see. Jace has Scarlet's hand in his and Cam is seeming to hold her to his chest. I take another step forward James grabs my hand again.

"Baby I wouldn't. I know that you really wanna know what has happened and that you feel like it is important, but I really think that you really shouldn't go up there."

"Babe...I need to see her she is my sister...please help me to see her." I try to speak at a normal volume but all that comes out is a whisper I feel tears streaming down my face.

James takes his free hand and gently wipes away my tears with a caring look on his face mixed with pain and sadness.

"Oh, Baby I will hold your hand, but I still don't think that you should see her." We take the last 3 steps together until we are right next to Cam. All I can see is blood, there is blood everywhere, Cam has her crushed to his chest as he rocks back and forth. My heart leaps through my chest, Cam is hysterical when he looks at me and I know that this is much worse than I could have ever known. He lets her fall away from his chest slightly for me to be able to fully see her, Cam is absolutely covered in blood whose blood is the question that scares the hell out of me, but something tells me that I already know whose it is...and it is not Cam's blood.

My eyes fall on an unmoving Scarlet I don't understand, why isn't she moving? My eyes are tracing every inch of Scarlet starting at her feet and up towards her face. Just before I can make it to her face, I find the source of all of the blood staining Cam's clothes and the ground under us, I feel like I am going to be sick. On the left side of her chest there is a huge hole where her heart should be. It looks as if someone has punched a hole through her chest where her heart should be.

"NO! No, no, no, no. Scar...Please no!"

"Baby? Baby wake up. My love please wake up." James is gently caressing my face. I open my eyes, my heart still racing and tears still rolling down my cheeks. I snuggle closer into James' chest while he wraps his arms around me.

"Baby? Are you ok? What happened?" He soothingly rubs my back while he held my tight against his chest.

"It was just a dream. But oddly it was clearer. Before someone grabbed me and they said something, but I couldn't see who or hear..." I let my sentence trail off while I get lost in my thought trying to compare this dream to the others I have had.

"What else was in your dream? Wait how many times have you had this dream?" He sounds interested and concerned all at once. Hell, I don't blame him, I am confused by all of this I can't even begin to understand what is happening here. 'Why am I seeing this, why is this happening to me?'

"See that's the thing, I first had the dream a week before Scar, and I moved for school... it was so fuzzy and vague, and I don't know how many times I have had this dream. I just know that every time that I have this dream it becomes clearer, and I get more information...not only do I get new information, but it scares me more and more... I mean I hope that it is just a dream it just feels so fucking real at this point..."

"Why does this scare you so much Baby? How can I help my love?" He kisses the top of my head trying to comfort me.

"The dream scares me...I don't understand it. It's the dream that has always been mostly the same. The dream..."
