My hands are shaking and I clutch the steering wheel tightly, I nervously glance at Javier beside me who is still in pain. He's writhing and groaning in his seat.

Tears cloud my vision as I'm overwhelmed by the feeling of confusion and sadness. I don't know what to do. I don't know where to go. Should I go back for Noel? Should I keep on going? Should I find my way to the werewolf territory? It's dark out and I can't stop.

I try to fight the tears and keep from breaking down and stopping the car because the shadows might be right behind us. Moon goddess please I beg of you, keep Noel safe.

The road is kind of dark with only the headlight illuminating the path before us and for a while, I relax. I try to send a mind link to Casper and I'm not sure if he gets it or not and then I feel the car swerve sharply to the right.

I see is a shadow beside the car with a chilling smile and I try to take hold of Javier before we finally hit the tree. "Javier." I start to say as I reach for him but I feel the impact and soon I'm in a a state of unconsciousness.

My head hurts as I slowly but finally wake and try to regain consciousness. When I'm fully aware of my surroundings, I look around carefully trying to inspect the setting and realize that I'm in a dream state.

I panic and get up from my kneeling position on the floor. I grab my head and wince at the sudden pain as I think that I need to get the fuck out of here and find Javier.

Suddenly the familiar dark surrounding becomes dim and with the small light, I see a figure walking towards me. As the figure comes closer, I start seeing parts of him clearly and eventually, the figure stops in front of me and I can clearly see the bastard that has been causing all these problems.

He holds my gaze which I'm sure is filled with hatred with the mocking eyes of his. The hatred and tension in the air is stifling and his presence is so disgusting that I retch. He smiles wider at my blatant display.

"That's not very nice is it?"

"I don't care for your games. Stop this nonsense and let me go or tell me what the hell you want."

He sighs and rolls his eyes, "You seem to think that I you are in control here. It's annoying"

"Like I said, I'm not interested in your silly little games. Where's my son? Give him to me."

"You mean Javier? The little one?" He feigns confusion, "he's barely clinging to his life." He spits out.

"When I'm done here, I'm going to finish him off and then I'm going to come back and finish with you."

"You bastard.", I see red and rush towards him in a fit of rage. I manage to deliver a good hit before he grabs me by my neck and flings me back.

I land on the floor with a huge thud followed by a sickening crack as sharp pain shoot throughout my left arm to my left shoulder. Before I could react, he grabs me by my hair and throws my down again with my already broken left arm receiving the impact.

A loud shriek of pain makes it way past my lips, I stay on the floor trying to regain my strength and breath. He walks over to me and steps on my head.

"All you supernaturals are disgusting. Thinking you have have some sort of power." I don't see his face but his voice is dripping with disgust. "Pathetic monsters." He murmurs and kicks my arm. Pain shoots up my arm.

He kneels in front of me, "I'll make sure that you all suffer and pay for the pain you've caused. Killing people as you like, causing humans pain and loss. The world will finally be rid of you pieces of shit. Vampires, werewolf, witches, who gives a crap about all that nonsense."

This time I can see his eyes and they're full of hate and disgust, "You all are just heartless monsters. As we speak now, my shadows could be wrecking havoc on you all and the world will finally be rid of you pieces of shit."

"Why are you going after children then? They haven't done shit to you."

"Best to end them when they're young before they grow up to become monsters and besides, it's not personal, if Javier wasn't the one with the Phoenix blood, I wouldn't have gone after him."

"And mason? Alexa's father?"

"That former mate of yours just ran his stupid mouth, it was nothing personal but Gregory was a huge fool. Would have used his wife if she didn't kill herself but I had to kill him since he became such a greedy nuisance."

I sneer at him in contempt, my feelings of disgust over powering the pain I feel in my left arm and if he notices, he doesn't let it bother him.

He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes before opening them and planting his usual mocking smile, "But I'll keep you alive if you're a good girl, you would make an excellent shadow breeder." He stands up and dusts off invisible dirt from his pants.

"I think you'll be happy to hear that your brother is alive but I'm sorry to say it won't be long."

My hopes rise just to come crashing down and I panic, "Don't you fucking dare lay a hand on either my son or my brother." I try to get up with one arm but it proves difficult.

"Just relax and wait for me to come back. This is a dream state that is impossible to come out from." He laughs and I'm met with his retreating back. The light starts becoming dimmer with each step he takes father away before I am finally surrounded by darkness.

I have to do something. I can't just let him hurt Javier or Noel. Think odetta think, I have to think fast because if I'm too late, they'll be dead.

I remember the small dagger laced with poison and I pray that it has a physical form here in the dream state. I dig into my boot and relief floods through me as I take hold of the handle.

I hold the dagger blindly in front of me. I could stab my self and let the strong poison pull me out of the dream state. Worst case scenario, I miscalculate and die in both the dream state and real life.

Deciding to use my left arm which is already broken, I take hold of the dagger with my right hand and gently press the tip of the poison dagger until it breaks skin and I pull it away immediately hoping that only a little bit of poison entered my system.

At first I don't feel anything and I'm overcome with disappointment and fear but then, suddenly I start trembling. I press my hand to my forehead and I'm scorching hot.

Moon goddess, please let me just wake up.

I lay back in the darkness on the cold tile floor, sweating bullets and shivering while running temperature. My eyes twitch and I struggle to keep them open. I'm hoping not to die.

If I shut my eyes, I could either wake up in the real world or never wake up and I'm scared of letting my eyes shut and finding out which one. Eventually, I can't fight it and my eyes close.

I'm suddenly jerked back into reality. My eyes flutter open and it takes a few seconds for everything to come back to me. I'm on a bed but I'm still drenched in sweat and once again, I press my hand to my forehead to see that I'm still running a temperature.

I shut my eyes and grace my lips with a small smile. I'm alive.

I sit up and immediately I feel a wave of nausea hit me and I lean over the side of the bed and puke. When I'm done, I look at it and see that it's mostly made off blood. Fear grips me, maybe I let too much poison into my system.

My mission to save Javier and Noel suddenly comes to me and I suddenly get up, I have to hold the bed with my good hand to steady myself. I dig in my boots and I still feel the dagger there. I then carefully tuck it into the sleeves of my shirt,it could be useful in case I need to use it immediately.

I'm about to leave through the door when I spot a figure on the bed and I realize that it's Javier. I rush to his side with tears already sliding down my face and press my fingers to his neck.

His pulse is faint and if I don't get out of here now to find help, it might be too late.
