Celia Vargas pov

I wake up due to extreme pain in my head. What's going on? I open my eyes and saw that I was sitting on the road. What the heck? Am I sleepwalking now? How did I get here? I heard siren of ambulance and firebrigade, from far away. Soon I realised, some of the houses were on fire and sheared into two halves, some missing roofs. The tress were fallen and some were on fire. The road was cracked. Am I dreaming again? Some people were screaming. I stepped back and hit something. I turn around to see, I was shocked and also terrified. Zakira's cold lifeless body was hanging on a rope, tied to a street light. Her eyes was all white. Oh my god, how? Loud scream escaped my lips. I was scared by the sight. Tears started rolling down my cheeks. Suddenly two strong pair of arms wrapped around me. I started screaming, I cannot believe Zakira killed herself.

"It's ok, It's me, Theodore. You are safe" I turn around and saw Theodore. I was relieved, I quickly hug him tight. I am so happy to see him.

"What's going on?" I asked. His face looked pale. He knows something but he is not telling me.

"Do you remember anything?" He asked. To be honest, nothing.

"Last thing I remember, is the halloween party" I said. I know that I was kidnapped by Ethan. But after that everything is blurry. I remember something about a book, I must have dreamt about it.

"Do you remember this?" Said Theo. He pulled up my sleeves and I saw a red dagger with a eye in between. Wait, I know this symbol. Why did I tattooed it on my arm? This symbol was on that book's cover. Am I missing something? Why cannot I remember anything? This is frustrating. I try to remove the symbol but I think it was permanent.

"What is this? I can only remember this being on a book cover" I said. Theodore looked concerned.

"This means it's too late, you already opened the gate of hell. We have to hide you before Cerberus finds you!" Said Theodore. Cerberus? Suddenly lots of memories started to flow through my mind. I get down holding my forehead as it starts to ache. What the hell did I do? Wait no it can't be.

"I try to kill my father? I also hurt Jasper" I said stuttering. He gave me a comforting look. Did I kill him? I am a murderer. Oh no! I did that.

"Both of them are fine. It was not your fault. Your father is unconscious but he is out of danger. Right now we have a bigger problem" he said.

"I think I know what you are talking about. I remember everything. I killed Kate" i said with teary eyes. He looked confuse and shocked.

"Who?" He asked.

"Kate was the guardian of the book. She was my mother's friend. I am a monster and I have some serious family issues, I don't know what to do. What if I kill someone again?" I said. He sighed. I cannot see blood in my hands. I cannot live knowing that I killed someone. Tears started falling down my cheeks. I was completely broken. I knew Kate, she was a very good women. How can I do that? Theodore hold my hand to comfort me. His emerald eyes stare into mine.

"Then I am a monster too. I killed my uncle to become an alpha" said Theodore. I stare at him with wide eyes. He look like he don't regret the choice at all. How can he look so calm after killing someone? Isn't he guilty?

"Sometimes you have to fight back if you want to survive and specially if you are right" he said, holding my hand. How can I fight back when I am the weakest one? My mind is flooding with thoughts and questions, I need to calm down. My hands were shaking. I took a deep breath.

"What to do now? I don't want you to get hurt because of me, you have to let me do this on my own" I said.

"And let him kill you? No, we will fight it together. We are strength in numbers" he said. I don't want him to help me but he was too stubborn to listen. I cannot get anyone killed because of me. I stare at the sky which was getting dark. We have to move fast.

"There has to be some kind of weakness. We need to find Cerberus's weakness. The book must have the rituals to put him back into hell" he said. I don't think he has any weakness. He is very powerful that's what I heard. I don't even have that book. Cerberus must have taken it.

"No, wait! Today is blue moon" I said after remembering the date. Theodore looked confused.

"I know I am not cursed but maybe blue moon is all we needed. Maybe Cerberus cannot take my powers if its not on the day of blue moon" I said with twinkling eyes. This has to be it. Otherwise he wouldn't have waited for so long to kill me, right? My life is like a continuous nightmare. He was just waiting for the right moment for so many years.

"If your assumption is right then we have to keep you in a safe place untill tomorrow morning" said Theo. Yeah, that's definately difficult. Cerberus know every step of mine, he was practically controlling me. How can we trick him? There has to be some kind of way. I dont even know how to use my whole power? I wish I could ask mom. I am missing her so much but also I am angry on her for hiding so many things from me. Though I know that she tried to protect me. I cannot except Cerberus as my father, I already have a father who loves me and care for me. If my friends are in danger, I would do anything to protect them, even if I have to end myself. Cerberus is nothing but a cold hearted monster, he could never be my dad.

"What should we do now?" I asked. He looked serious.

"I think I know where to hide you" said Theodore.

"What's on your mind?" I asked. I hope his idea is better than mine. Though his looks scares me.

"We will change your body" he said.

"What?" I said.
