Chapter 23

Kyle shrugged as I walked away, "I'm glad you said no. I was testing you to see if you would really give in so easily to hurting her again. You must really love her and love has to be fought for nowadays. Its not just given to you, you have to earn it so let's go find your woman. I will have a few of my father's men assist us as well. We need all the help we can get. Besides, we can probably kill the Rogues while we are out."

"I suppose I will go with the both of you and assist with help from my spells and I'm going to make sure that you aren't putting on an act this time." Maple stated.

"Glad I could count on you guys."

When we arrived to my house, Mitri had been waiting for me in the lounge area near the front door. In his hand he held a bottle of whiskey while he smiled at me as if we never got in a fight an hour or two ago.Mitri's eyes told another story, one I was familiar with, guilt. I wanted to punch him square in the jaw and knock his fangs loose, but I swallowed my anger.

"Hey Damien, I didn't think you were going to show."

"I wasn't," I confirmed, "But you are still my brother. No matter how much you piss me off I can never stay angry at you. I understand that you were trying to help Claire, help her escape from the monster I was."

Mitri put the whiskey down and stood up, "Are you ready to go?"

"I see you brought Maple and Kyle to help out as well. I have also called Daniels and he's searching with our parents."

"Alright, let's go." I said and without hesistation we were gone and our search for Claire began. I just hoped we got to her before anyone or anything did. I swear if the Rogue wolves even hurt one hair on her head I would kill all of them and that was a promise.

*Claire's PoV*

I didn't know how long I've been running for, but I was exhausted and every inch of my body ached. I knew that I had to keep going, keep running and get as far away from Damien as possible. If he found me, I was as good as dead.

I looked down at the sharp piece of wood in my hand. What the heck would I do with this? Stake him? That was a joke considering he was faster than I ever could be. Before I would have even been able to put the stake in his direction he would have killed a hundred times before I could blink.

Besides, I couldn't stake him no matter how I felt for him at that given time because the thought of me trying to take someone's life away was upsetting. Even if it proved useless against Damien, I wouldn't allow myself to stoop to his level and become a murderer.

Frustrated with my thoughts, I leaned against a tree and looked down at my stomach. I didn't want to run away, but I knew this was the only way for us. Just because I was pregnant with Damien's baby didn't mean that I wouldn't protect it; it was my baby too!

I smiled sadly as I felt a few small kicks. I never even picked a name for the baby. I had been so caught up with ways I could fix my miserable life that I had forgotten. I just sighed.

I knew I was young to be a mother and that I wasn't ready to start a family, but I had to protect the baby. That was my life now, to be a single mother. I cupped my face in my hands and cried at the thought. I was a child myself, I didn't want this in the slightest.

Why does it hurt so much to be alone all the time? I just wanted a normal life with normal friends and I couldn't even have that. Instead I lived a not-so-perfect life in an even worse not so perfect world.

I wondered how Damien would react if he knew I was pregnant? I mean what vampire would want to have a child with a weak, stupid human? Even though we were-are mates, Damien still didn't accept me so how could he accept our child?
