time to make rash decisions,” Dakota said grabbing my arm.
“Damon keep Danny here. I need to speak with Kylie,” Dakota ordered as he
pulled me out of the RV.
“It
isn’t a rash decision. You may be ok with your entire pack dying, but I am
not,” I said angrily.
“He
will kill you Kylie!” Dakota yelled as he turned to face me.
“I
don’t care! My entire family will die if I don’t. I won’t live with that. I
would rather go back and die then be here and know I am the reason they are all
dead.” I didn’t understand why he didn’t understand. I was looking out for the
greater good, not just for myself.
“You
have to know your family and the fathers of those children would not want you
to surrender.” He was trying to convince me and it wasn’t going to work. I knew
what I had to do. I had to do what I originally wanted to do. I had to quit running
and talk to Elijah.
“I
don’t care what they would want. I am doing what I want and I don’t expect you
to understand or to help me. You have already done too much for me,” I said
quietly.
He
looked like he wanted to argue, but he knew he wasn’t going to get anywhere.
When
he didn’t speak I hurried back into the RV. “Damon we have to go. We can’t just
do nothing.”
He
nodded. “This is a bad idea and we don’t have a car thanks to you.”
“I
have my truck not far from here,” Danny chimed in.
Damon
scowled at Danny. He looked like he wanted to punch Danny in the face. “Let’s
go,” he growled then stomped out.
I
followed Damon and Danny smiled weakly a I passed him
then followed me. There was no point in taking anything. If Elijah really
wanted to kill me I had no need for any of it. Dakota was standing outside the
RV. He was watching me and I felt my chest tighten. “Please don’t do this,” he
begged softly.
“I
don’t have a choice. I’m sorry,” I said then hurried after Danny and Damon. I
couldn’t stay there any longer. I was afraid he would convince me to stay. I
wanted to stay, but I couldn’t let Elijah hurt everyone I loved.
It
seemed like the walk to Danny’s truck took forever. Damon did nothing but
complain and Danny stayed silent. I remained silent as well. I had nothing to
say. I was so angry and scared. My mind went back to Dakota and his expression
when I left him. I pushed the thought away. I didn’t want to think about Dakota
right now.
“Finally,”
Damon muttered as we approached the truck parked off the road.
Danny
pulled his keys out of his pocket and Damon snatched them out of Danny’s hand.
“I will be driving,” Damon growled.
Danny
rolled his eyes and climbed into the passenger seat. I got in the backseat
behind Danny. “How far are we from Luna?” I asked quietly.
“About
three hours or more. You should try to get some rest if you can,” Damon said
glancing at me through the rearview mirror.
“I’m
fine,” I said then looked out the window as Damon set off. I couldn’t shake the
fear that my friends and family were going to get hurt. If they did get hurt I
would never be able to live with myself.
We
passed welcome sign and I felt my stomach tighten. It was still light out so
the town was relatively quiet. My fear that it was quiet because everyone was
dead wouldn’t get out of my mind. “Go to my parent’s house,” I said as I sat on
the edge of the seat looking around. I wanted to see my mother and father. I
was worried about them the most. I figured Elijah would go after them first.
As
soon as Damon pulled into the driveway I jumped out before he could even put
the truck in park. “Damn it Kylie wait!” Damon growled, but I didn’t care I
needed to see them.
I
ran into the house and went to the living room. My father looked up at me
first. My mother, Maggie, Brayden, and Dominic were in the room. “Daddy,” I
said worried as he hurried over to me. I hugged him and relief washed over me.
“I
am so glad you are safe,” my mother said hugging me
