"Are you crazy Dean?! What exactly are you trying to do?!" Simon yelled
"We had to do something. I was tired of doing nothing and waiting. You're also aware of what is going on. I needed a chance to talk to him" Dean said as he got up looking unfazed by the hit.
"Talk to him? You really think he's willing to talk right now? Your head's going off before you even get to say a word" Simon said and grabbed Dean by the collar "You know you should mess with anything but her. You mask off her scent and made him restless. If he couldn't think for yourself couldn't you guys stop him?!"
He turned to the rest of them who looked like they weren't ready to back down.
Lynn stood quietly as she couldn't help but stare at the crack on the wall. She looked at Simon's eyes, she knew Simon very well. He isn't a fan of contacts. So what exactly is going on.
"Uh- may I..." She was cut off
"Suit yourself then" Simon shrugged off Dean's collar. "He only asked me to get Lynn away from here. I don't even care what happens to you"
He turned her way and she'd never seen him look so pissed off.
"I had to do something. My race is dying. You don't just expect me to sit and do nothing!" Dean said now sounding angry too.
"It'll be better if you had done nothing! I told to trust me and let me talk to him but now what?! YOU DIDN'T JUST GET YOURSELF IN DANGER BUT YOUR WHOLE RACE IS INVOLVED NOW!"
The ground began to shake under their feet. Lynn could see Fay and the other wolves take a step back as they lowered their head and whimper in fear at the danger they sensed approaching.
Simon knew he had to get Lynn out immediately. The shaking was a warning. He carried her in his arms and took the other end of the corridor.
"Simon what's happening?" Lynn asked
"I'll explain later" he said as they stood in front of the window. He climbed on and she grabbed his cloth as her eyes questioned him.
"What are you doing? You're not thinking of jumping out are you?!"
"Don't worry. We won't die" he replied and before she could say another word. He leaped out the window as she screamed. The height was nothing to him.
He is a vampire after all.
He was with White when they'd realize Lynn's scent had faded. It took him a while to get White to calm down.
300 years!
It's been 300 years since he last saw White bare his fangs and claws. It was also the first time he'd see him look so scared and angry. White hadn't fully transformed but it was enough to make the vampires and wolves in the continent fall on their knees. Simon who was the closest to him had almost knocked out. He couldn't get himself for a whole minute. All this for the single human he had in his hands right now.
He knew Dean had messed up real bad, and he Couldn't do anything to stop the fate that awaited him. He even had the nerve to move her away everytime they got closer.
Simon let Lynn down in front of her house.
"Go on in" he said and turned to leave but she grabbed him.
"Won't you tell me what exactly is going on?" She shot at him. "Moreover how did you move that fast?! I could barely see a thing! And your eyes. Who were those people?"
"You sure have a lot of questions for someone who just got taken away by strange people... I guess you normally would" Simon said and sighed "Look Lynn. Right now isn't the time, you get yourself inside first. I'll explain everything later"
She stared at him persistently. "Promise?"
"I promise" he answered. She wanted to get answers immediately but the worried look on his face made her back down-for the moment. He turned to leave.
"Wait...Will they be okay?" She asked, concerned about the others she'd met there. She didn't know them but she also didn't feel good leaving just like that. She wanted Simon to reply that they would be okay, that she was just overthinking things, but he didn't look back.
"Go on in"
With that, he left as fast as the wind.
On getting back, he stopped in front of the white house vacation home for their kind...well, that was it's old purpose. Now it's just a run down building as White stood in the middle of it all. Simon was forced to step back as his vampire instinct couldn't withstand the insane pressure emitting from White.
White looked back at him, the blue eyes pierced through Simon. His face looking as calm as the silent sea with not even a single scratch on him.
"Where is she?"
"S-she's back home" he stuttered as he had little control over his voice. He looked at the rubbles and could see a paw sticking out with blood stains.
"Good" White said as he started to walk in Simon's direction. "Now find me the rest of them. Seems I need to pay my fellow wolves a visit after so many years"
Simon replied with a bow. White finally left and Simon slumped down on the ground as he could finally breath.
This is gonna be a long week, Simon thought.

"Girl, are you sure you're okay? You've been out of it the whole day" Jane who was sitting across Lynn in the cafeteria asked.
Of course she was out of it. Everything finally sunk in after a while and she realized she was actually involved in a crazy situation. Worst of all, Simon wasn't in school. There's no one to get her answers from and now she's really worried.
"I just have a lot on my mind" Lynn said and Noel raised a brow.
"Is this about you being kidnapped?"
"She's still on about that?" Adam asked as he placed his tray on the table and sat next to Lynn.
"She called us first thing in the morning and I was so excited to hear what she had to say" Jane added and then gave Lynn a disappointed look.
"I'm telling you. It's true" Lynn said defensively as Adam shook his head with a little smile.
"Okay" Adam spoke "Now listen Lynn. I'm going to repeat exactly what you've said to us so far. Correct me if I'm wrong"
"Okay"
"You went to the store. On your way back you were kidnapped by strangers. They took you to a luxurious room to sleep in. Gave you snacks, a fight started between them and they brought you back home"
"Exactly"
"Oh I'm not done. They didn't throw you in a basement and tie your hands. They didn't ask for a ransom. They didn't hurt you but rather gave you a safe ride back home after staring at your face for one night. Also, Simon was the one who brought you home, and his eyes was all red"
"Exactly" Lynn agreed with his every word and they all stared back at her silently. It was then she realized how unconvincing her words were. "Come on guys, Noel you believe me right?"
"No" Noel replied almost immediately "Sorry girl but you know I don't believe in fairy tales of that sort"
"The test must be getting to your head. Don't worry, even you if you do fail and have to take a makeup I assure you that you won't be alone. Simon would be there with you" Adam said and they all nodded in agreement.
"This isn't funny guys" Lynn pouted as Noel turned to face her.
"Oh it isn't. I can't believe you took the snacks some stranger gave you. You're way pass the age of being told not to collect things from strangers!" Noel scolded.
"Well that-" she started but had no excuse to give. She couldn't tell them she actually took the snacks before they even had the chance to offer her some.
"The probability of you being lured away with snacks seems higher than the rate of you actually being forcefully kidnapped" Noel said but Lynn couldn't agree with that.
She might have a sweet tooth but there's no way she could get lured by...
Someone tapped her hand and she turned to see a chocolate.
"Oh, thank you" She took it and started to unwrap it but she paused when she noticed them all staring at her. "What?"
"You scare me Lynn" Adam said with a frightened look
"You didn't even check to see who handed it over to you!" Noel yelled
"Well I thought it came from Adam"
"It wasn't me" Adam threw his hands up as she turned to look at him.
"What?"
"That came from me" Chris said behind her.
She turned back and smiled at the brown haired handsome who smiled back at her. He was the oldest in their group...
...also the one who had stolen her heart.
His manly build couldn't be hid away in his warm looking leather jacket. She wanted to snuggle into those chest and have his built arms wrap around her and...
"Hello? Earth to Lynn?" Noel snapped her fingers in front of Lynn's eyes as she finally snapped back into reality. Chris was now sitting and staring at her confusedly.
"You can have the chocolate Lynn, it was yours to begin with"
"Huh?" she let out in confusion as Noel whispered to her.
"You're drooling"
Her hands were as swift as lightening as she looked away and closed her eyes embarrassedly. She heard Chris let out a little laugh.
Even his laugh sounds sexy!, She admitted in her head.
"How'd your test go?" Jade asked and Chris immediately scowled which made the others laugh.
He let out a smile as his head dropped "I mean, how could you do that to me? I just want to have a nice lunch and keep all unnecessary thought behind"
"Haha! Your look definitely said 'i don't wanna talk about it"
"You saw that and still went ahead to ask?" Adam said in disbelief.
"I was simply trying to show my concern" Jade said and let out another laugh. "That was one priceless face you had on"
Lynn smiled, then it dawned on her "By the way I don't see Aaron? Didn't you come together?" She asked looking at Adam.
"Ah, well- he had something really urgent come up"
Lynn went quiet as she totally picked on his hesitation.
"Oh really? I never thought Aaron would actually miss a day of school. What could be so important?" She pushed as she was curious about his next answer.
"Don't know. He didn't tell me anything" he answered as he bit into his sandwich.
It was an obvious lie for Lynn. There's no way he didn't know why Aaron was absent. They were twins after all, and she could say she knew them more than anyone in the school. The brothers share anything and everything together. They were practically joined at the hip.
She looked at the others, they weren't asking? So they definitely knew what was going on. What were they keeping from her, she wondered and suddenly felt left out.
Simon was also absent from school. The little rat had promised he would explain what exactly happened last night. She couldn't wait to get him and make him spill whatever it was he knew.
Her stomach rolled and she winced.
"One minute, I'll be back" she got up to leave for the restroom.
****
She came out of the stall as she rubbed her stomach. It didn't feel like something she ate but she somehow felt nauseous and irritated. She stared at the mirror as her complexion didn't look so good.
She sighed as she decided to head straight to class and get some rest before lunch was over. She hated the smell of drugs so the infirmary was a no-no. She let go of the basin and her vision suddenly blurred up, her body lost every ounce of strength in her and she fell to the ground as her head came in contact with the door.
"Ah!" She yelped as she held her head in pain. She got up and held the doorknob. Another contact with the toilet floor was something she wasn't looking forward to. She couldn't tell what was going on with her, she'd never lost her strength before. She slowly let go of the doorknob as her strength seemed to have come back.
She walked out as she rubbed her head and made her way to the classroom. The classroom was empty and she let out a sigh of relief. Just what she needed at the moment. She was about to sit when she flinched at the loud bang. It came from outside the window.
"I'm gonna need you to calm down Adam. I get you're angry but we're at school. We can't call for unnecessary attention"
Adam? Why is he out there?
Lynn could recognize the other voice. It was Simon.
Was he in school all this while? Are they actually arguing? Lynn thought.
She started to move closer to the window to tell them off and get hold of Simon.
"You're telling me to be calm? How the hell am I supposed to be calm when Aaron could be killed any minute from now?!" Adam snarled and Lynn froze a few steps away from the window.
What?
