We were both 14, a time when we were not yet teens but a time when we were no longer kids. All I could remember from that day was her parents were having a party and the flames that came soon after.

Police sirens filled the night air as the members of our pack ran out of the house. The house that was now ingulpsed by flames, the house where Serena lived. The police were making sure everyone was okay as the firefighters began to put out the fire. I was able to get out of the house but as I began to searched for an important someone, I began to panic. I stood in front of Serena's father and asked in a frantic...

"Where's Serena!?" His face turned pale as his eyes grew wide.

"Serena!" He yelled and then everyone fell silent.

"Serena?!" Her mother yelled now noticing she did not have her daughter.

"Serena!" A pack member screamed hoping to get an answer.

"Serena! Serena!" Soon everyone began to yell, in hope to hear an answer. Everyone finally fell silent...there was no answer, then it all dawned on us. My stomach became a knot as a wave of fear came over me. My eyes snapped backed to the the house, I could feel the heat radiate off of the flames as the bright light burned my eyes. The next thing I knew...I was running back towards the house...I knew...I knew she was in there and I wanted to save her.

"KY!" My mother screamed, wanting me to stop. But it was too late, I had already jumped into the flames.

* Present *

I walked the sandy beach, the place where we were going to spend Spring break at. I was alone as the beach became empty, as the sun began to fade. I was walking, making imprints in the golden sand as the foamy water washed up onto the shore. I stopped and faced the water, the big vast of blue that was called the ocean. Then a ring tone began to play, it was my phone...I reached into my pocket and brought it up to my ear.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Ky, where are you? I'm worried," it was Serena.

"I'm on the beach, just...walking."

"Ky are you thinking about-"

"Serena," I cut her off. "Don't worry alright, I just needed...just needed to get some air." She stayed silent, I didn't want her to worry, I didn't want to see her cry.

"How about you? Are you having fun? What is everyone doing?" I asked hoping to change the subject. A minute went by and she remained silent, but then she said...

"I...I'm good, I miss you though. Yes, I'm having fun and we all about to go out for dinner. That's why I called you."

"When are they going to leave?"

"6:00, but it's 5:00 now. So you have an hour."

"Alright, I'll start heading back."

"Kay," she said happily and that brought back a smile on my face.

"Alright I'll see you later."

"Yeah and...Ky?"

"Yeah?" I asked cautiously.

"Be careful, okay?" Her voice became worried again.

"I will, I love you," I said, trying to reassure her.

"I love you too," when ever she said those words, my heart would always skip a beat.

"Bye."

"Bye," and she hung up. I placed the phone back in my pocket as my eyes stayed on the setting sun. The sun now looked like it was being consume by the ocean as it sank lower and lower into it's shadowy depths. The sky had now turned into a vibrant cloak of colors, orange, purple, pink, yellow and...red. The vibrant cloak was now surrounding the sun as it's light danced against the ocean almost like...fire.

"Fire," I whispered and I was pulled back to that day once more.

*

"Serena!" I screamed, hoping for a voice, a sound.

"Ser-cough, cough," the smoke begins to fill my lungs. My eyes sting from the heat of the flames as the smoke render my eyes from seeing. I dodge pieces of wood as they begin to fall from the ceiling, making a cracking sound as they hit the floor. I can just feel the heat that radiates all around me, telling me to run, to leave.

"Serena! Cough, cough, cough."

I can't see, I can't breath, I can't hear. It's so hot, too hot, it's unbearable. All my senses are telling me to run, to get out of here, but I only venture deeper into the house. Deeper into the flames and smoke as they cover me in ash and soot. I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving without her!

"Serena!" No answer. The walls around me wanted to collapse as the weaken in strength. My eyes soon frantically looked through the fire, tears ran down my face as fear over came me. No, she can't be dead...she can't be...she...My jaw tighten as I began to fear the worst.

"SERENA!" I screamed again.

"Ser-" I stopped because...I had finally found her.

"Serena," I said again as I ran to her. She was lying on the ground, face down as she was knocked out. I big piece of wood was laying on her back, her long reddish brown hair flared on the ground.

"Serena," I said as I knelt down next to hear, throwing the piece of wood off of her. I turned her over, now wanted to see her face, she was covered in soot and ash, but she wasn't burned. Thank God for that, I hurriedly picked her up bridal style and ran out of the house. Firmly clutching her to my chest, wanting to cover her from the flames. I don't remember a time when I ran as fast as I did now. I dodged the falling wood and jumped over the fallen pieces of timber. I ran and ran and I didn't stop...until I felt the cold air of the night.

"Ky!" My mother screamed in relief as she rushed over to me. Soon everyone began to rush over to me once they saw me and the passed out Serena that now laid in my arms.

"We need to take her to the hospital, now!" The paramedics said in a frantic as they took Serena and put her on a gurny. They rolled the gurny into the ambulance, me and her parents rode with her to the hospital in hope that she would be fine.

*

We waited in the hospital, our nerves all on edge. The whole Pack was there, wanting to hear the condition of the young beta. We waited in the lobby, my right leg was bouncing up and down as I became impatient. The atmosphere in the room was heavy as we all stayed silent, as we all wondered the worst that could happen...death. I guessed that we were all so consumed in our thinking that we didn't even noticed the doctor, who had just walked up to use.

"Uhm," he coughed trying to get our attention. All eyes snapped to him.

"Mr and Mrs.Havenmoon?" He asked looking down at his clip board.

"Yes," Serena's father answered as they both looked up at him. Their chairs were right next to the doctor as their hands were locked together. I sat right next to them, my elbows on my knees as my parents stood next to me.

"Your daughter...she doesn't have any burns or any major injuries."

At first it seemed like everything would be okay, that we could breath. We exhaled too soon.

"But...she is in a coma."

"A...coma," Serena's mother said in shock. I froze as the word "coma" hanged in the air, everyone became still and tense.

"Y-yes," the doctor said, finding it hard to continue. "But we don't know if she...will ever wake up. She has a 3 out of 10 chance of ever waking."

"Eh," Serena's mother began to cry as she leaned into her husband's shoulder. I began to tremble as my heart became heavy, as my voice was stuck in my throat. Tears were began to sting my eyes, threatening to escape.

"Is there anything we can do," Serena's father asked despair.

The doctor sighed in sadness, "All we can do is wait and...hope that she wakes up. I'm really sorry."

"Thank you, doctor."

Then the doctor walked away as their parents embraced, comforting each other as they cried. I sat there, frozen as I slowly died inside. I wanted to scream.

She...may...never...wake up.

* Present *

I walked into the front door of the villa and into the TV room. Sakura was there, alone as she sat there watching, she turned her head to me once she heard that I came in.

"Where is everyone?" I asked Sakura as my eyes scan the room.

She stood up as she made a "uh" sound. "They are changing so we can go out for dinner. Serena is in your guys room, I think she's already change."

"I see, then I'll go see her." I was about to walk out of the room when Sakura grabbed my arm with her hand. I turned to look at her, she looked at me with worried eyes as her eyebrows came together in concern.

"What happened to Serena," she looked down before she continued. "It wasn't your fault that she went into a coma. We all blame ourselves what happened to her that dreadful day, but your the one who blames yourself the most."

I looked away from her as she let my arm drop to my side. "It wasn't your fault, so...cheer up okay?"

Moments of silence past and then I said, "y-yeah, I'll try." Then I walked away, wanting to see Serena.

It didn't take me long until I was at the door of mine and Serena's bedroom. I grabbed the door knob and turned it, I pushed the door open using my shoulder.

"Serena?" I asked as I stepped into the room.

She was standing in front of a window, her back turned to me as she stood in front of me. The rays of sunlight peeked through the window and surrounded her. Making her look like Angel once more, I stepped into the room, closing the door behind me.

"I...I told you not to think about it," she said. Her voice trembling as she spoke the words.

"I..." I began but I couldn't think of anything to say. I didn't know what to say, She knew a blame myself and everyone else's knew. What...what could I say to get this memory out of my head, what can I do to make that dreadful day disappear. She turned and looked at me, her long reddish brown hair framed her face and her body beautifully. Her eyes where still with sorrow and concern as her lips slightly tremble and her eyebrows came together in dread.

"I...I told you...it is not your fault. It is no one's fault." I could see her begin to shake and tremble as her wavering voice spoke the words. She looked at me with sadness, concern, regret, like she was dying inside that she had made everyone feel this way. Feel that they were the one to blame for what had happen, what had happen to our young beta. I slightly tilted my head to the side as my eyes flickered up and down Serena and that's...when I finally saw it.

We had all blamed ourselves for what had happen to Serena...that we couldn't see the person who blamed themselves the most. Serena, she blamed herself for everything that had happened, for everything that is still happening.

"And it's not your fault either," I said and her expression went from concern to shock and guilt. She froze as I could see the tears threatening to escape her eyes.

"Don't blame yourself for the fire that burnt down your home," I continued and I took a step forward.

"Don't blame your self for slipping into a coma." I took another step as I held Serena's eyes with my own.

"Don't blame yourself for your parents grief," another step. Tears began to slowly roll down Serena's cheeks as they glistened in the sun.

"Don't blame yourself for all the months, weeks, days, that we cried next to your bed." Another step forward.

"Don't blame yourself for all the blame that we inflict on ourselves for that night," one more step.

"Don't blame yourself for that wretched day, for that dreadful memory." I took another step and we were now only inches away from each other as her pain stricken eyes stared into my own.

"Because when you opened those beautiful eyes of yours..." I placed my hand on her cheek as my thumb softly stroked her skin. Stroking the tears away, she leaned into my touch as her eyes lightly fluttered shut and then open again.

"...when we heard you speak...when we saw you smile...you don't know how happy you made us." I was now smiling as her gaze took my breath away.

"Now...who is to blame?" I asked softly.

She hesitated. "No one...No one is to blame, not even..."

"You," I finished softly for her and she nodded.

I smiled, "That's my girl, now...come here," I said opening my arms and she ran into them.

I wrapped my arms tightly around her, not wanting to let her go, not wanting to lose her. Her face was buried in my chest as she cried. Her hands clutched to the back of my shirt as her own arms wrapped tightly around me. She cried the memories of that dreadful day away as she stood there...wrapped in my arms. I needed her and she needed me, we completed each other, we owned each other, we loved each other. I couldn't bare the thought of losing her, not again, not like on the day when she...finally woke up.

* Months after that Dreadful Day *

I was sitting in Serena's hospital room. Her body cold and silent as she laid on the pure white bed. The monitor was beeping at a steady pace as I sat next to her bed, my whole body facing her as my arms laid out on the bed. Both of my hands held her still lifeless hand, wanted to hold her, wanting to talk to her, wanting her to finally awake. The room was silent and still as we were there alone, just me and her.

"Everyone is asking about you," I began to speak, hoping for an answer. There was none.

"They all want to know how you're doing and they want you to get better really soon. Me and Jason had a fight...again. I know you don't like it when we fight but we can't help it, were boys after all. Isn't that what you always say, were just...boys, silly hot headed boys," I began to tremble as my heart became heavy.

"I remembered when you said, "you silly Alpha," for the first time. Remember when you use to call me that, you still do actually. Then you used to call Sakura "Saya" because she reminded you of that girl from the anime Blood + remember?" I soon found myself rambling about random things as her silence killed me from the inside out. It's been so long since I heard her voice, I haven't heard it in months, but it feels like centuries. I wanted to hear her say my name, I wanted to see her smile, I wanted to see her eyes, I wanted her. I was dying without her, I needed her, I needed her in my life.

I kept rambling on and on but when I said, "Rachel told me she loved me today." I froze and I looked at Serena's face, she was still as ever. But I could of sworn that her hand had just slightly tensed in my own, I swear. Minutes went by as I waited silently for a reaction, nothing, but then I had an idea.

"But I told her...I didn't love her," her hand slightly relaxed. My eyes widen, could she...could...could she hear me?!

"Serena...I need you to wake up, please you need to wake up," I begged. No answer, this was just like the fire.

"Wake up Serena! Wake up!" I demanded, still no answer.

"Wake up please," tears started to roll down my cheeks.

"Serena please wake up, please!" She stayed silent as my body began to shake. Hopelessness consuming my body.

"I...I..." my lower lip began to tremble. "I need you Serena...I need you with me. I...I can't live without you, I want you in my life. I...I miss you, your voice, your smile, your eyes, I miss it, I miss all of it, I miss you. I want you with me, near me. Because...because I..." I paused trying to find the right words to say.

"Because I love you Serena!"

I minute pass and everything stayed silent...and then...a light. It was a soft light that held warmth and life, it had submerged around Serena as it glowed around her. For some reason I wasn't shocked or afraid of the light that was now illuminating from Serena. In fact I was calm as it glowed and shined around her, but all I could think of was...what in the world was happening. Moments passed and the light grew in brightness and then a voice said...

"Protect her, for we have chosen you to be her savior," then the light vanished as I sat there stun and confused.

"Ky?"

I snapped my head to where the familiar voice had came from. I was Serena, her...her eyes were open, she was awake!

"S-Serena," I said, barely getting her name out. Her eyes widen once she saw my tear stricken face.

"Ky? What happened, what's wrong?" She asked as she sat up in urgency.

I smiled with joy, "Nothing, nothing is wrong." I wrapped her in my arms, "I'm...I'm just glad your here."

"Ky," her voice was laced with concern and she hugged me tightly.

She was back, my Serena was back.

* Present *

I was outside, sitting on the small piece of a wooden floor that divided the villas garden from the beach. My bare feet felt the soft sand under them as my elbows laid on my knees. I was alone as I still remembered that day, those months, and the day that voice spoke to me.

"Protect her, for we have chosen you to be your savior."

It was a women's voice that spoke this to me. She sounded kind and gentle, but at the same time powerful and wise. That was the first and last time I had heard that voice but it has never left my mind.

"Protect her..." Her words echoed in my ears again.

How am I suppose to protect her when I couldn't even protect her from that fire. When I couldn't even save her from slipping into coma, can I even protect her? What if the threat is me, what if I hurt her, how am I suppose to protect her then? I'm I even the right person to be...her savior?

"Will you stop mooping. Geez, if I knew I was going to be so paranoid when I grew up, I would of done more dangerous things."

"Who the heck are-" I began to say irritated, but when I looked at the person that had just spoke. I froze and my eyes grew wide as my face became pale.

"You," I said in a shock whisper and...he smiled.
