Final :(
Nirvana's POV:
"Courtland Janine Mary-Anne Elizabeth Carter!" I called to my ten year old daughter. She was in her bedroom taking forever and I called her half an hour ago to come down to her own party. Ashton was attempting to fix the camera Nick and Mitchell dropped.
"Ashton I have another upstairs." I laughed.
"I will fix this one. I'm almost done." He assured.
"Why do girls take forever?" Tyler complained. I crossed my arms and just stared at him.
"Come on mom...you can take a little long sometimes..." He said sheepishly looking away. Tyler, Austin and Jeremy sat on the stairs while Nick and Mitchell walked around impatiently. Once again they all looked like little Ashton's running around but Jeremy looked the most like me. He had platinum blonde hair like I did that looked silver and he had the bright grass green eyes that I had. Only him and Courtland looked like me. Well Courtland was half and half. Already I could see how they were all going to play out. Every one of them loved sports. But out of Tyler, Austin and Jeremy...well Tyler would be the one who gets in trouble the most, Austin will probably have a lot of girlfriends that I will probably never meet and Jeremy will most likely be more into school work. I can already see it.
As for Nick and Mitchell? They both do whatever Tyler does.
"I am going to go see what she is doing." I sighed. I walked up the stairs leaving Ashton and the boys behind. I knocked on her door that was covered with Olympic posters of hockey teams and gymnastics.
"Courtland?" I called. There was no answer. I frowned and opened her door slightly. Her room was a cotton candy pink with a darker magenta on the bottom half. She was not in there. I stepped in and I looked around I saw her bending down in the corner looking at something.
"Courtland?" I asked trying to peer around her. She turned around and a small squeal escaped my lips. She had blood covered on her arms and legs.
"Courtland! What happened!?" I yelled. Suddenly Ashton and the boys appeared Ashton stepped in.
"What happened?" He asked.
"I went to the bathroom...it was in the corner." She said sadly.
"What is in the corner?" I asked moving her out of the way slightly.
"Gross!" Tyler said. I swallowed back vomit that threatened to come. On the floor was...well what used to be. A dove. It looked like it had exploded, it's insides were on the outside and it's eyes were black with no life.
"Courtland...where did it come from?" I asked.
"I went to the bathroom and when I came back..." Her eyes focused somewhere else. I have noticed that lately. She could be in the middle of a conversation and her eyes and mind will focus on somewhere else, and you won't be able to talk to her until she comes back.
"Courtland?" I asked after a couple of minutes her eyes tore away and she blinked twice.
"A shadow." She said.
"A shadow?" I asked. She nodded.
"He put the bird there and he left."
"He? How do you know it was a he?" Ashton asked.
"Because it was." She said determined.
"Where did he go?" I asked.
"Through the window." She pointed to her large window, the curtains slightly blew in the wind.
"Go get your sister cleaned up." I said to Tyler but I directed it to all of them because I needed to talk with Ashton. Once they left I turned to him angrily.
"What the hell!? She is saying some person was in her room!" I said trying to keep my voice down.
"I know...listen I will tell my father to keep extra guard. But for now just take them outside with everyone. I need to discuss this with my father and Derek." Derek was his father's beta. I sighed and went into the bathroom and helped clean her up. I grabbed her new clothes and threw her old ones in the garbage. I wasn't keeping those blood filled things. I brushed her long hair. Her eyes were crystal blue but she had my small pointed nose.
"Are you alright?" I asked as I braided two small pieces of hair and connected them behind her head.
"Yea." She said lightly touching the counter in the bathroom.
"You're a big girl today...you know." I said.
"That's what everyone at Gymnastics and hockey said." She said I saw her smile in the mirror. One I finished I picked her up easily in my arms and kissed her head.
"Do you want to go open your presents?" I asked.
"Yea." She nodded smiling. I set her down and she ran ahead downstairs. I walked out and I saw Ashton talking with his father and Derek. He met my eyes and I made a motion of opening presents and he nodded. He said something and then walked on and they followed. As we walked down some maids went upstairs to clean up the mess. We walked outside as Courtland sat on the chair. It was mostly pack members, Ashton's older brothers and his younger sisters and his parents.
My mom or brother never saw my children or seen them grow up. I sighed unhappily. They could be dead or alive for all I know. As she began opening them I looked around and saw some dark shadows moving from a while away. I saw some trees moving.
"Ashton." I whispered pointing. He met where I was looking. A cold look spread across his face and it actually scared me. His eyes turned black as night and his jaw tightened. His father and Derek were looking in the same place. They met each other's gazes.
"Everyone get inside." They began to say in hushed whispers. We put the kids in first. That's when I heard the cry of Shadow. It was a familiar cry and I knew it anywhere.
"Shadow." I said. I dropped everything and ran for the stables.
"Nirvana!" Ashton yelled behind me. I kept running breaking through trees. I reached the stables and Buttercup was up on her back legs protecting Moon. Shadow huffed against the moving trees. I saw blood dripping onto the ground. I ran over not thinking of what could have been there. I studied Shadow but his eyes locked on the trees.
I heard a slight sound and I instantly turned putting up my shield as three bodies in black circled us. I saw Ashton out of the corner of my eye frozen he still had the look of death on his face. Suddenly out of no where three large werewolves tackled them to the ground thrashing and biting at their necks until they laid limp. My shield went down and Shadow relaxed. He huffed heavily as I noticed several slash marks on his side. They weren't bleeding badly but they still would get infected.
"Vampires." Micheal said. He was apart of our pack.
"Do you think they're breeding for a new army?" Amy asked shifting back.
"Possibly. We will have to double up on guard and watch carefully, we can't risk losing anyone." Ashton's father said. He turned and walked back towards the house as I grabbed the first aid kit and began dressing Shadow's wounds.
"Is it safe for them to be going to school?" I asked Ashton as he helped me.
"It will be fine. The school is more secure. They have guardians watching at night and they are all together." Ashton assured me. They went to a werewolf academy. It was a good school. It was specifically for werewolves only. Tyler, Austin and Jeremy shared a room while Nick and Mitchell shared with Johnny-A boy from our pack- while Courtland was with Stephanie from our pack and another girl from school. They were off for summer but would be going back in a few weeks.
"I want to get Courtland checked out though." I said.
"For what? Is she sick? Hurt?" He asked worried.
"No. Ashton. You have seen it. The way she can talk for five minutes and then lose it and go off somewhere else."
"She's young. It's probably a phase."
"A phase? None of the boys went through."
"If you want we'll ask Angelica to take a look."
"I just want to be safe and make sure she is okay. But it is weird when she is doing gymnastics or hockey she doesn't phase out like that."
"How do you know?"
"I never see it." I said.
"Maybe she is..." He said. That stayed in my mind.
-------------
So that is it for the first book. I left it kind of on a cliff hanger?
But I will be making a sequel because there are still vampires out there and stuff to be done. But the sequel will not be out right away so I will say that it may be out in a week or two?Depending on if I finish any other stories first.
Bye!
Luv, Stephanie
