I had been walking for a couple of hours now and I still hadn't found anything. It was getting darker by the second and I considered going back, but I didn't want to give up on Lily, so I kept going. I had been a little bit over a week now and I hadn't drunk any blood so far. Normally I would have to drink a little bit every day, but I still felt as strong as I had just drunk a cup of blood. I had no idea how, but I didn't care either, as long as I was strong enough to fight Katherine, everything was fine.

At last, after six hours of walking around aimlessly, I saw a working street light and a huge building where the electricity actually worked. This had to be a special place as there was no electricity on this side at all. I saw a shadow moving behind one of the windows, maybe it was Katherine, but I would have to get closer to be sure. There were some walls I could hide behind, but it would be hard for me to get from one wall to the other without getting seen.

I quickly hid behind one of the walls when I noticed the shadow was walking towards the window. The shadow looked outside just as I disappeared behind the small, brick wall. My hands looked for support and I automatically grabbed one of the bricks.

Support (noun): a structure that holds up or serves as a foundation for something else

That is what the dictionary said about support, but that's not what it did now. Once I grabbed the brick, it didn't support me, I lost my balance and fell backwards. The wall wasn't as strong as it was supposed to be because when I fell, the wall fell with me. The wall collapsed with a loud bang and its bricks crushed my body. I tried to brush them off me, but then I noticed it weren't bricks, it were bones. Just as that one time I thought there was snow everywhere, well this was the same. I had thought this was a wall, but at the last moment it turned into a pile of human remains.

I tried not to move because then I would be screwed. The shadow couldn't see me, not even if it wasn't Katherine. A lot of questions went through my mind: Why did Katherine kill all the supernaturals on this side, but not me and Maryse? Did she keep us alive to torture us, so that we could watch Lily suffer? I wanted answers and I was going to get them. If Katherine was using some sort of creapy magic, I was going to make her pay for it.

There was a fire raging inside of me and I was going to let it out. My anger would be unleashed on that dirty little witch. She would never take my best friend because I was going to stop her once and for all.

Lily's p.o.v

Will had gathered the entire pack except for the children; they weren't old enough to know about this, they just wouldn't understand. Everyone older than sixteen was present and they listened to me with the greatest respect.

After I explained the whole story, everyone was quiet for a couple of minutes, but then all hell broke loose. People were screaming frantically at one another. Will had thought he would be able to maintain order, but after one person started screaming, it was done. They wouldn't shut up. 

I understood they were all upset because their Luna was in danger, but all of this yelling wasn't helping. All of the witches were gone and I was afraid of what was going to happen to me, but I couldn't show that to the pack, they would get even more worried! I remembered my mom telling me about Katherine trying to take over my body and the uprising. It seemed like such a long time ago, but it had only been a week ago. She told me that she was going to try fight off Katherine on the other side and that there was a solution here, in our world. There was a connection between me and Katherine, I knew that, and I knew that that connection could only be broken by another witch. What I didn't get was my mom telling me there was a solution here, all the witches were dead! Unless...

That was it, there must be a witch left, hidden somewhere where we can't find her or maybe close by, without us all knowing. How were we going to find out? That witch could be anywhere.
