Lauren somehow felt relief, even though she now knew the
truth about Kyle and he knew the truth about her, she still felt good about
getting it off her chest. “KYLE YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME I NEVER MEANT TO HURT
ANYONE!” pleaded Lauren. She noticed Kyle slowly moving his hand over to the
panic button attached to his bed. “KYLE NO! WAIT!” she yelled, but it was too
late, he pressed it. Officer Stackhouse came running in and grabbed Lauren by
the shoulders, she immediately elbowed him in the nose leaving it broken. He
fell to the floor when Lauren’s hands began to light up.
Lauren knew she had to leave the hospital fast. She turned
to run and saw police and doctors charging her way. The light then attacked,
clearing a direct passage to the entrance. Clayton sat up from his bead
squinting his sensitive eyes from all the light. Lauren ran past his doorway
and left the hospital.
When Lauren got outside she knew she was making a mistake by
running. She was too scared to stick around, so she continued to run. The parking
lot was swarming with security and police officers. Officer Stackhouse was
running towards the door so Lauren hopped over the staircase where she landed
in the ambulance pad. She jumped inside an ambulance and the keys were in the
ignition. She drove off smashing through the gate.
After Lauren ditched the ambulance she figured there was
only one safe place to go. She knocked on the door. Lena answered. They
immediately embraced and out of the corner of her eye she saw Jordan and Mitch
in the living room. “JORDAN WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?” she yelled “long story” he
replied when he shot out his fangs “oh…my…god…what happened to you?” she then
turned her head to Mitch “AND YOU! What the hell is wrong with you?” before she
had time to get any answers Warren approached “WARREN! I NEED YOUR HELP!” Warren
tilted his head “what?” he asked “it’s Natasha……I KNOW WHO KILLED HER!” - the secret was finally out.
Ashley awakens in the hospital, her chest pounding with
pain. She looked around her and nobody was present. She thought at least her
brother James would have visited but she realized they haven’t spoken since
their parents passed away. Her wrists and ankles were smothered in cuts and
bruises. She then placed a hand on her stomach where Kindred did the operation.
So much hatred ran through her veins. The fact that Shaun was still out there
angered her to her very core. She ripped the cords off of her chest and wrists.
She clenched her teeth from the pain. “Ma’am you NEED TO STAY IN BED! YOU’RE
NOT WELL!” a doctor yelled out, Ashley simply turned to him with her stern look
and said “FUCK YOU”.
Clayton began packing his things to head home, Kyle was
standing at his door “if you know where Lauren is, I think it would be best if
you just turned her in” Clayton turned to Kyle as he swung his bag over his
shoulders “and I think it would be best if you shut the fuck up” he pushed past
Kyle and headed for the front desk. There seemed to be a panic near Ashley’s
room. Clayton immediately ran over “is something wrong? WHERE’S ASHLEY!” the
same doctor that was treating Ashley approached “your friend left…she just
left”.
Warren was rubbing Lena’s shoulders as she watched her best
friend Lauren drift off in Lena’s bed “how did it come to this?” Lena asked her
boyfriend “We will figure this out Lena, don’t worry. Chris made her hide this
from everyone, not with force, it was love that forced her to keep this secret
from all of us”. Lena walked over to her sleeping best friend and brushed her
hair away from her face “I just love her so much, we have to help her” Lena
said “your pregnant” replied Warren. Lena starred back at him “WHAT? How do you
know this?” she asked impatiently “would you just please go get a test” replied
Warren “you’re freaking me out” she said “I have one in my bathroom, not that
it’s necessary I think I would know if I was pregnant” so went into the
bathroom and locked the door.
Clayton pulled into his driveway, he exited his car when he
was greeted by his sister Kelly and his best friend Rachel “how are you?” asked
Kelly “I’m good, but everyone else is falling apart” “what do you mean?” asked
Rachel “Lauren’s in trouble, Ashley’s in trouble, and I feel like I need to
help them” he explained “you said you didn’t want us getting involved in
anything” replied Kelly “I KNOW WHAT I SAID, things have changed. I care for
these people. I can’t sit around and watch them drown” he said as he ran
inside. “Where is he going?” asked Rachel “he’s going to call Warren” Kelly
said with a smile on her face. “I think now would be a good time to tell him
what you are, Rachel”.
Lena sat in the bathroom in awe. Looking at this test, it
was like it wasn’t real. So many things were running through her mind. Warren
was a merman, what would that mean for her baby? She opened the bathroom door
only to breeze past Warren. “Hunny what does it say?” he asked “positive” she
replied “give me a minute” Lena slid open the screen door and stepped onto the
back porch, she starred into the pregnancy test treating it as if it was going
to change, but it wasn’t. She set the test on the patio table and walked
through her garden. She had no idea what came next; she was excited, scared and
happy all at the same time. The porch light came on and Warren was standing at
the screen door with a smile. Lena smiled back but Warren’s smile changed.
Behind Lena was a burning torch in the woods behind their house. After the
first torch lit, 2 others lit after that, and 6 others after that. Before they
knew, there were over 20 torches in her backyard. Julia appeared “take her” she
said as several men and woman grabbed her, while screaming, and dragged her
into the forest. Julia began to sing, Warren collapsed on the porch. She saw
Mitch and Jordan headed for the door but she had just enough time to disappear.
