Chapter 23: Rusty

POV Helena

We lay there in our own thoughts enjoying the aftermath as suddenly our peace is disturbed when the door flies open.

"Hello people, how is everybod- oh god Drew put some clothes on!" Seth, Andrews brother comes waltzing in, a disgusted look on his face.

I shriek, trying to cover myself up and Andrew stands up trying to cover me up. After getting a hold of Andrew's shirt I put it quickly on. "What the hell are you doing here brother?" Andrew asks his sibling that looks the other way.

"Drew, you know that your dick is still showing right." Andrew quickly puts on pants. "That's better brother. I came to ask you something?"

"And that couldn't wait till tomorrow?" Andrew asks with an irritated voice. Seth looks offended.

"How could I know that at-" he looks briefly at his watch, "-7:32 pm my brother will be having sex on his couch?"

Then Seth looks at me. "Oh hey Rusty!" He smiles, giving me that stupid nickname again.

"I have a name Seth!" I say irritated.

He grins. "Don't we all."

"Brother, if you're here to irritate me or my girlfriend or being the sarcastic dickhead you are, you can turn around and leave!" I can feel Andrew's patience slipping away the more Seth grins at him.

"Why so serious brother? I just need to talk to you about something?" Then he looks at me. "Private!"

"And that's my cue to leave the room." I mutter, pushing myself off the sofa. I see Seth bending to grab something and then he flashes my lacy red bra to me.

"Nice bra, very sexy. No wonder my brother fancies you!" I stalk towards him and snatch the lace material from his hands.

"Oh god I hate you." I say stalking off to Andrew's bedroom. That son of a bitch always finds a way to get under my skin.

I throw myself on the bed looking straight up to the ceiling. I hear their voices but can't make up what they are saying. I sigh. I put my bra back on and then lay myself back down.

Then suddenly the door opens and Seth stands in the doorway. "This keeps on interrupting my conversation." He holds my phone up throwing it at me. I catch it just in time glaring at him. "Toodles, Rusty!"

I groan picking up a pillow and throwing it at his arrogant head but he pulls the door shut before it can actually hit him.

Me ringtone blares through the room, the device vibrating in my palm. I pick up. "Hello?"

"Helena, you need to come home now, I need to tell you something! It's really urgent!" Luke sounds stressed and guilty so instead of asking questions I answer.

"I'm on the way!" I end the call, almost running out the room. I walk in on Seth and Andrew arguing like crazy. There conversation stops the moment I walk in, there eyes on me.

"Babe, I have to go, there is something wrong with Luke, it's urgent!" While saying this I search my clothes and put them on, Seth turns his head away and Andrew looks worried. When I got all my clothes on I walk up to him.

"I'll call you, okay?"

He kisses me softly on the lips. "Okay, let me know what happened." I nod and smile walking hurriedly out the door and down the stairs to the lobby. I catch a cab and tell the driver the adres, telling him to ride as fast as he can.

When I finally arrive I pay the driver and hurry myself into the apartment complex. I step into the elevator and go up to the third floor.

When I'm finally inside Luke is already pacing a hole in the floor. He hears the door and turns around. He looks scared.

"Helena, please don't be mad at me?" He pleads and o frown feeling a strange feeling consuming my stomach.

"Why should I be mad? What happened?"

He looks desperate shaking his head. "I've kept keeping contact with SSL, I don't know why but I did."

"You what?!"

"I know, and I told them that you came back and that you didn't want to hunt anymore and that we fled to here." He runs his hands through his hair.

"They are coming for me don't they? Why would you do this?" The rage in my voice is obvious. I can't believe he lied to me like that, after everything, I've build a life here.

"They promised me if I kept informing them about you they would find my parents, they said they found evidence of them being alive Helena. And no they won't come for you, but they are gonna send all of the're best hunters and huntresses to kill Eros pack! They want them gone and since you failed in there eyes they wanna finish the job for you."

I feel the colour draining from my face. My heartbeat the only thing I hear. My thoughts go to Eros, his sister and his members that I made a promise to. Luke was right all along about SSL. They made Luke turn against me in exchange for his parents that are dead. How cruel can you be?

"We need to warn them, and help them." My voice shakes, my eyes start to water and my hands start the shake. "I promised them."

"We can't go back to Toronto! They will kill us!"

"We have to Luke! We can't just let them be without them knowing what will come for them. Those are highly trained warriors, Luke, they lived for the kill."

He paces again. "They will attack in three weeks, they are training to accomplish a mass murder." I gasp.

"We need to go!" I walk past him and this time Luke doesn't bother arguing. I grab a bag and the necessary and then stalk outside. Luke does the same.

We get into the car, fasting up our seatbelts and driving off to Toronto. I quickly put my red hair into a low ponytail.

"I'm sorry, Helena, I didn't want to betray you but they said they had evidence of my parents and-"

"I understand, I would have done the same." I say, not letting him finish that sentence. I mean what I say, if I was in his place I would do it to.

My mind goes briefly to Andrew. I should call him. I grab my phone dialling his number and putting the phone against my ear. The phone goes over 2 times before he picks up.

"Babe, are you okay?" I gulp trying to keep my emotions at bay.

"Yeah, everything's alright, we just need to go out of town for a bit, there is a problem, something with Luke, I can't explain, but I will be back soon okay?" I can imagine his frowning face, those soft pink lips parting a bit.

"Okay, are you gonna be alright?" I can sense the concern through the phone.

"I'll be fine. I speak to you later, love you!" I say feeling a sad gloom around me.

"I love you too, be safe!" And then the call ends. A stray tear falls and I angrily brush it away.

"We need to get there as fast as we can." I tell my friend.

He nods and drives even faster. "We'll get there."
