Chapter 14: When Arguments Die

I wake up at dawn because my wolf will not shut up. So I decided to take a walk. I walked out of my tent and started walking down the path. I need to be gone before he wakes up, but I just need to clear my head from all my bad thoughts fogging my mind.

While entering the woods, I hear this piercing scream that almost knocked me off my feet. I slowly fall to my knees, hearing the cries. I shook my head, thinking that it is all in my head. I just kept there thinking it would soon go away, but it did not. It would be silent for a moment then I would hear the screams at a high volume.

"Cameron h-help!" A familiar voice yelled.

"This is all in your h-head, Cameron," I said to my self,"Do not become overwhelmed."

I need to relax, so I took some deep breaths. This is all in my head, this cannot be real. Nobody is screaming, nobody is here, but me and my demons. They are just playing a trick on you. They scream louder and louder if that is even possible, making it harder to breathe.

My vision is blurred from the sorrowful tears aching to stream down. The screaming started to become softer. Everything around me is going in slow motion, I can see the hummingbird's wings color while it is still in flight. I then see two girls that look the same age. I blink away my tears and I was frightened when I could see their faces.

"Y-You, I am imaging t-this," I said in disbelief,"T-This is all in my h-head."

I close my eyes and massage my temples. I felt someone's hands on my cheeks. I open my eyes and I see them staring at me. I backed away from them until I hit the tree that was behind me. Both of them held my arms down while I squeal and whine. I am seeing ghosts, this is not real.

"This is real Cameron," Alex says our foreheads touching.

She pulled away and I see the bullet hole in the middle of her forehead. I scream in terror, stood up, and ran away. I turn a corner, to catch my breath, and then see them standing in front of me. I shook my head and held on to the tree behind me, the only thing that I actually that is real at this point.

The two smiled at me and tried to comfort me, ignoring the fact that they are phantoms. My heart was beating out of my chest, still sticking with the idea that I have gone completely insane. I pinch myself, then slapped my face, trying to wake myself up. Nothing is working, they are still there, standing in front of me.

"Why do you fear us?" Sierra asked smiling.

"Y-You both are d-dead," I stuttered out.

"Yes, we know, but why are you not happy to see us?" Alex said butting in.

"I was the one who cause your deaths," I said in anger,"Alex, you were only eighteen when committed suicide, and Sierra you were twenty four when you were shot in the head. I did not come to your rescues."

"Cameron, we came back not to haunt you, but mend the bond what we have broken," Sierra says holding my right hand.

"Yeah, I should of gone to a doctor and instead of ending my problems," she said holding my left hand,"I should of fixed them."

"I knew it was hunting season and we went out anyway," Sierra said kissing my hand,"I put you in danger, the hunter would of killed you, if I have not of done anything."

I look at both of them with tears in my eyes. I did not speak, but hugged both of them. I just felt so at peace just hugging them. I just start crying on their shoulder as they rubbed my back. They suddenly let go and stand there smiling. I look up and see the sunlight shining on my two sisters.

"Mend what the bond that has been broken between you and dad," Sierra said kissing my cheek,"We finally found peace."

"We love you so much, Cammie," Alex said hugging me.

In a blink of an eyes, they disappeared and so did the strange light. I now know what mend the bond means. I now put my sisters to rest. I wipe my tears, looked up at the sky, and smiled. I saw two little birds flying above the tree, like they were going to heaven.

I took a deep breath and started to head back to camp, where everyone was awake. I was about to walk back to my tent when I heard my name begin called. I turn around to see my dad steaming angry, like he was a tea kettle all steamed up. He stormed over to me and was ready to start to shout at me.

"Why are you still here?" He snarled.

"To fix this," I said pointing at both of us.

"What needs fixing is my eye sight, so I never have to see you again," he growled.

While he was yelling and screaming at me, I just stood there and watch with no emotion at all. Since all I see behind that anger is a broken, depressed old man. I need to soothe him somehow, to calm him from this heated anger. There he was yelling and screaming these broken words that I know he does not mean.

I smile sincerely as he runs his mouth. I forgot how hilarious his lectures were especially when he was yelling and screaming at you. Since I was yelled at so many times, it become more amusing than terrifying. In the middle of his sentence, I see Hayes run out screaming and crying. He took one look at me and ran over towards us.

"C-Cameron, i-it is y-your mom," he said out of breath.

Father's face when paper white, he pushes Hayes out of the way and heads to his tent. Hayes and I follow after him. I know for the fact that this is where the arguments die.
