L E O N

In front of me was one of Amethyst's minions. Without thinking I used magic to blast him away. He landed with a hard thud on the hallway wall behind him.

I took no chances and rushed down to the cellars. I heard some footsteps but didn't bother to look behind me.

While running I muttered a spell and a protective shield surround a crying Francis.

"Shh, baby everything will be okay. Mommy will keep you safe."

I said rushing towards the cellars even faster. When I got there I used the secret door and muttered the ancient spell that kept it hidden so I can go inside.

In a flash of magic I was brought to the other side of the wall where the room was hidden.

Inside most mothers, the elderly, and children were here.

"Leon!"

A familiar voice called out to me. I turned around and a crying Samuel and Conway were there.

"What's going on?"

I asked them. They both shook their heads.

"We were surprised attacked. I guess the war is happening as we speak."

Said Samuel who was rubbing his small bump. It was barely even noticeable but I guess his motherly instincts were kicking in.

"I wanna go help, the pixies trainer me for this!"

I said. Both of them looked at me like I was crazy.

"Vladimir would kill us if we let you out, plus what about Francis? Someone has to keep him safe."

I shook my head.

"You guys can just make sure he's alright and I'll-"

I was cut off by a giant blast. The room shook and the ceiling above us cracked. Screams from children were heard all over and chaos erupted.

"We need to get out of here!"

I said trying to get everyone together. Using my magic I created some lights and that seemed to calm everyone down.

"Everyone do not panic! We need to use the emergency exit that leads to the neighboring territory."

I said getting nods of approval.

"Children first with mothers, then the elderly. Let's go! Move it before they break in!"

I said opening the ladder that lead deep underground into tunnels. Our instinct would lead us to the neighboring pack.

After 10 minuets everyone was in and the banging and the blast got louder. The magic wouldn't last forever.

After Samuel helped me take Francis down I was the last to crawl in. With a quick spell I made the door we were crawling through disappear.

There were about 100 plus of us in the caves.

"What now Luna?"

Asked someone in the darkness. I again used magic to light up the dirt tunnels.

"We walk while our mates fight for our freedom. We need to get to the boarder quickly and let the pack bring back up."

Murmurs of agreement went around and with that we started walking.

I growled as I snapped the neck of a werecat.

My wolf was angry and so was I. I just prayed my family was okay.

"Alpha! Behind you!"

A voice called out. I turned around quickly and snarled as two rogues jumped me.

I used my hidden powers and set my body on fire. The rogues shrieked in pain and jumped off trying to diminish the flames. I quickly snapped their necks and let their bodies burn.

"Alpha the cellars were attacked but thankfully everyone got away. The moonlight pack is sending reinforcements as we speak."

I nodded in approval and watched the chaos around me. Many laid on the ground dead, thankfully from Amethyst's side.

The pack house was halfway burned down and many of my men were injured. With this back up hopefully we could defeat them.

I stalked the ground and caught eye of my next victim.

Amethyst.

With a snarl I ran forward and jumped on her body. She screamed and used her claws to splice my chest open.

Blood poured from the wounds but I didn't slow down.

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS. I LOVE YOU, I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU!"

I paused at those words and she took the weakness to pin me down.

I snarled and was able to cut her stomach with my claws. I shifted back to my naked human form and snarled in her face.

"Amethyst this doesn't have to be this way. We can still fix this, you can find peace. I have a mate and will never love you. I once did, but you know what a mate does to you."

I said. Her eyes flashed crazy as she slapped me across the face.

"Fine, if I can't have you no one will."

My eyes widened and all of a sudden her lips were on mine. I gagged as black siren tar slithered down my throat unwontedly.

With the last of my strength I pushed her away and coughed and sputtered on the floor. Everything burned and I felt my stomach fill with the sticky substance.

"W-what did you do!"

I wheezed out as I laid weak on the floor.

"I sealed your fate."

With that she took out a dagger and stabbed herself in the chest.

"NO!"

I yelled out as she fell to the floor almost lifeless. I used the last of my strength to crawl towards her body.

"Why, I don't understand. You had so much going for you. Why?"

I said. I may or not liked her recent choices, but I did love her at some point. She was my ex girlfriend, just heartbroken and alone. She didn't deserve to die like this.

She coughed up blood and smiled weakly at me.

"I'm dying in my first loves arms. I love you so much Vladimir it hurts. If our love couldn't be true then this was a world I didn't want to live in anymore."

She said. I coughed and sputtered seeing the black tar come out of my lungs onto my hand.

She weakly raised and arm to me and caressed my face.

"We can be together in the afterlife, you and me. Happy again."

I shook my head at her and sighed in pain.

"Amethyst, I loved you... but not anymore I have a family now."

She chuckled weakly and looked at me.

"A family who you will never...get.. to see... again."

She weakly sputtered. I opened my mouth but I had nothing to say. With one last look at me she took her last breath and fell limp in my arms. I gently set her to the ground and realized it was over. She was dead.

My pack cheered in victory and I could see August's dragon form spew fire in the air and let a roar out.

I started feeling dizzy as I saw a figure walk up to me.

"We won! The bitch is dead!"

Said Frank who was looking at me with concern.

"Woah dude are you okay?"

All I could do was let out a groan of pain. All of a sudden my body convulsed and I fell face forward into the bloody ground.

I heard faint screaming and my body being moved. I could barely see out of my eyes and I started coughing horrible. I felt people wiping my mouth and I guess tar was coming out. I could only think one thing though;

I hope to see my family again.
