I woke up to my dad's groaning from the bullet in his leg. "Sweetie can you come here and help me." I heard my mom's voice from the other room."Coming mom!" I yell back to her. I threw the blanket off of me and jumped out of bed. I ran to my mom and dad's room while my dad continued to groan. "We need to get the bullet out of his leg." My mom said as I came to beside her. "I need you to hold your father down." She said looking me in the eye. I nodded and used all of my human strength and channeled my wolf strength to hold him down. I looked up at my mom and nodded telling her to proceed. She dug the scalpel into his skin right beside where the bullet hit trying to make the hole larger so she could get the bullet put. I felt sweat dripping down my face as my strength weakens. I can only channel my wolf strength for so long. My face continued to drip sweat my mom kept widening the entry hole. 

She laid the scalpel down and picked up a large pair of tweezers and reached inside my dad leg and as fast as she could she pulled the bullet out. My dad let out a sigh of relief as my mom pulled the bullet out of his leg. She laid it in smaller tray and grabbed a thin needle. My wolf strength was completely gone but my dad wasn't jerking and trying to get free anymore so I released him completely. He sinked down into the bed and let out another long sigh of relief. My mom threaded a thin thread through the end of the needle. She tied a not at the end and started stitching my dad up. "I have to go to school." I said to my mom once I realized what time it was. My mom shook her head and said, "Your not going. You need to rest after what happened plus tonight is your big night." She forced a small smile as she looked at me seriousness written all in her eyes.

I nodded, "Just let me get something to eat." I tell her feeling my blood sugar starting to drop. She nodded and I went downstairs to the kitchen. I cracked five eggs and poured them in the pan to cook. I sprinkled some salt and pepper on the eggs right after I busted the yolks. I put two of them on one plate, two on another, and one on a different plate. I carried two of the plates up the stairs and into my parents room. My mom was sitting on the side of the bed, crying and I stopped at the doorway. "Mom?" I asked in a shaky voice. She suddenly looked up at me, wiping tears off of her face and eyes. "Mom?" I ask again. "I'm fine. I'm just..." She trails off crying again. "I understand" I say starting to cry. "I brought you some eggs. You need to eat something before you pass out." I tell her. "I brought something for dad but I don't think he is gonna eat any time soon." I say looking as his feverish sleeping body. 

"Yeah." She said forcing a small laugh. I grinned hearing my mother laughing again even if it was fake. "Here." I said to my mom, handing her the plate. "Thanks." She said looking at me with tears in her eyes. "I'm going to go eat my eggs," I say sitting my dad's plate on their bedside table. "Then I'm going back to bed." I start out the room when my mom says, "I heard you yelling for him you know?" I stop in my tracks. "What..." I trail off hesitantly. "You were yelling and calling for Jake." She says more quietly. I continue walking ignoring her words. 

I sit down at the kitchen table and start eating my eggs slowly. Once finished I rinse and wash my plate. I head back upstairs and into my room. I sit at the edge of my bed, my hands on my knees. I see tears hit the floor as I start crying. "Why did it have to be you...." I say quietly. I said right before I cried myself into a deep sleep.

                                                                                      DREAM

"MAYA! HELP ME MAYA! PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!" Jake screamed at the top of his lungs. "NO! Jake I'm coming for you... I'm coming..." I trailed off as the scientist and Jake rode off into the distance and I could no longer see Jake, my one true love. The last thing I could hear was Jake screaming my name tell me to help him, to not let him go. I felt my knees give way as I fell to the ground. I cry and stare at the grass seeing blood drip onto the grass. I wipe a tear off of my face and stare at my hand. BLOOD!? WHY AM I CRYING BLOOD!? I think to myself."It's all your fault, you know? I died because of you, because you couldn't save me." I hear a chilling cold voice behind me. I turn around to see Jake there hatred etch on his face. "Jake..." I say in a shaky voice. "I didn't mean to.....I couldn't save you I'm sorry....." I say while continuing to cry blood. "Don't lie you could have saved me....you could have saved me......"

I woke up to find my bed soaked with sweat and tears. I let out a calming sigh before I looked out the window. It's getting pretty dark. I think to myself. Better get going to the meeting place. I will convince them to join me, Jake, and I will do it for you!
