Chapter 28: Fears
Ali ~
"Hey..." a voice sounded. A whisper or a scream. A little girl, that much was clear. "HEY! Wake up!" she yelled and I jerk sitting up straight in a bed. Looking around wildly, my eye fell upon a little girl, me.
"W- What?" I mumbled confused.
"Get up and get dress. You're gonna miss the tea party!" I yelled at myself.
"H- Huh?"
The five year old me scowled at me and stumped her foot. "Never mind, I got the perfect dress in mind." she said running over to the double door closet, disappearing inside. I looked around and the entire room was styled in a way a princess would have it. Everything was a thousand shades of pink and the king size bed rested on a four post base that reached and touched the intricately cloud painted ceiling. The younger me came running back with a white empire waist styled dress that flowed the the ground.
"Put this on and quick, the guest are almost here." she smiled. At the moment, a doorbell rang and a voice sounded.
"Princess, the guest has arrived." said a man through some kind of intercom system.
"Come on!" the younger me said pulling me from bed and the dress magically appeared on me. As I was being lead out the room, I noticed the halls looked like the walls of a enchanted castle. Paintings hung on the wall and the were all of myself as this little girl.
Nearing the end of the grand spiral staircase, I saw a long table set with cookies, tiny cakes and tea cups and tea pot. My smile faltered noticing the so-called guest.
They were oversized kid toys. A giant stuffed teddy bear, a cabbage patch kid, a life sized Barbie doll and a Mr. Potato head. What scared me most was the fact that they were walking and moving on their own. They took their seats and the younger me pulled to one end of the table while she sat at the other end. I'm dreaming, right? Got to be, I mean this isn't real. I'll close my eyes and when I open them I'll be waking up on the couch with Billie and Lyrica. Yeah, that's all... I fell asleep watching the movie.
"Ali, would you like one or two sugar cubes?" asked the giant teddy bear. My eyes popped open and I bet you could see the fear all over my face. The bear frowned turning to the younger me unsure what to say or do next.
"You're not getting into the spirit of things are you!?" the younger me yelled jumping up into her chair and glaring at me.
"This isn't real! I have to be dreaming and will wake up any minute." I said. At that moment, the walls started to crumble and fall into nothing and everything began to turn grey and I saw where we were really having this party. I sat on the dusky floor of my old room in Chicago and the toys turned to normal size. The teddy bear had lost a button for an eye and losing stuffing from a tear in it's side. The Barbie doll's hair was in a knotted mess, she wore one shoe and her dress was covered in dirt. The other toys were in the same bad shape and the beautiful tea set were turned to the dirty plastic cups from the kitchen.
I jumped to my feet and all the toys looked at me with twisted faces.
"I should go!" I said.
"Stay with us." they all started to chant and I ran to the door trying to push it open. "Stay with us." they said again crawling up my legs.
"No!" I screamed kicking them off and pushing the door with all my might until it few open and I began to fall into a dark abyss...
Billie ~
"She's burning up..." Momma said feeling Ali's forehead with the back of her hand. Another bomb went off shaking the room.
"Is this war?" Lyrica asked frowning.
"Please, I never heard of any pack declaring war on the Blood Dynasty. They either ready to die or just plain stupid." Constance said shaking her head. I glanced over at Rita who sat on the couch biting her nails nervously.
"You know, you seem awfully concerned for your daughter." Momma said sarcastically.
"You took the words right out my mouth." I said folding my arms.
"I am concern!" Rita defended.
"Yeah right, you haven't asked about Ali since she fainted two nights ago." I said.
"You're right Billie, Rita hasn't said a word since then." Momma said.
"I don't have to explain myself to you two! I love Ali with all my heart. I just... been in shock about it, my way of grieving." Rita said standing up.
"Sit yo ass down! Nobody said a thing about Ali being dead!" I snapped. My lycan itching to get her claws on this woman in front of me.
"Stop it!" Lyrica cried. Poor girl never did like confrontation or fighting for that matter. I just hope she go out of it and quick.
"Y'all be quite, all this yelling isn't good for Ali, isn't good for anybody." Constance said.
"Can't you wait her up?" I asked.
"Unfortunately, I cannot. It's dangerous entering the mind of a supernatural being without knowing what they are or what they are capable of." she said. "They only people who can, is a pure crusnik and a angel blessed by Eve herself."
"Momma, I have a bad feeling about Rita." I mind-link her privately so Lyrica wouldn't hear.
"I'm glad I'm not the only the. You don't think she had something to do with Ali falling ill, do you?" Momma asked.
"Yes but it's more than that, I overheard her talking on the phone before the bombs started. Something about a guy wanting his shipment arriving uninjured."
Our eyes widen and snapped to Ali.
Patrick ~
I watched as my brother, Jason sat trembling next to me and smirk. He wanted to become Alpha and was good at taking note and listening the dad all the damn time but when it came to the actual test, he was scare shitless.
"What's wrong Jason? are you scared of heights or scared of the Alpha King?" I asked laughing. He swallowed the lump in his throat looking out the small window of the helicopter.
"Shut up..." he said glaring at me. I rolled my eyes wrapping my arm around my younger brother.
"You're lucky I have no interest in becoming Alpha. I won't tell dad about your fears but you better grow some damn balls before this is over." I said smacking the back of his head making him growl at me.
"We're entering the Blood Dynasty, prepare to parachute!" Yelled out the pilot. I sighed looking over to Jason.
"We get in, get the girl, we get out ok? Lawrence said he'll leave a window open on the first level and the house will be empty accept for some women and kids but they'll be in they're rooms. She should be in a room on the second floor."
"Ok." he said and I kicked his ass out the helicopter and jumping out right behind him. Half way through free-falling I pulled the parachute cord and hit the ground rolling.
"Man, what the hell!" Jason growled snapping his jaws at me.
"What, you're alive aren't you?" I said.
"Sir, on your command." Mind-linked one of our pack members. I could see the pack house of the Blood Dynasty a few yards ahead through the thick trees.
"Good wait for Jason's signal." I said and glanced over to Jason. "Jason, you know what to do. take the group and blow the bombs. By that time I'll be in the pack house with the second group."
We moved into position and I spotted the open window near the basement just as a round of explosives went off. In no time, the house was in full lockdown with few guards walking around. There were five men in my group and we took out every last guard before they could even mind-link their Alpha.
Suddenly, a little girl came walking down the stairs to the kitchen and a wicked thought cross my mind. Creeping up behind her I grabbed her covering her mind.
"Make one move and I'll rip out your throat, understand?" I growled and she nodded shaking. "Take me to your precious Luna..." I whispered smirking.

Author Note: The last parts of this chapter was kind of sloppy but I'll clean it up later. I really just wanted to update this Christmas Eve. You can't rush perfection and I think I said that on a previous chapter and if I did, well I'm saying it again!
Happy Holidays!
