I stared back at him we sat staring at each other in silent’s, wondering who would be the first one to talk. I broke the silent’s with a question that has been bugging me “where’s my dad” he turned his whole body towards me. He gentle stroked my arm “your dad is with his maker" I stared at him “did he know there were going to kill me or do whatever with me”. He was silent for a moment then he nodded “he knows about it and he helped plan it he was hoping for you to choice the same path as he did if you didn’t he was willing for you to die”. He felt me go ice cold I shook my head with tears escaping from my eyes he got to be lying I moved away from him “you’re lying he wouldn’t let them kill me”. He looked down at the bedcovers “its true holly your dad has changed since he became one of us” I couldn’t speak. my mouth wasn’t working properly I turned my head away from him staring at the door with tears sliding down my cheeks. He got of the bed and went round to my side and knelt down he wiped away the tears what were rolling down my cheeks. His voice was soft when he spoke again “Holly I’m sorry but it the truth he still a young vampire so he thinks it’s the best thing but some point he will relies what he trying to do and regret it”. I fell into his arms and cried, until I was exhausted. He held me in his arms till I slept.
I woke up the room was dark so I couldn’t see much but I could feel Toby’s cold arms around me. I felt him breathing softy against my neck. He was fast asleep and I was wide awake thinking about what he told me about my dad and that the connection between us is getting strong each passing hour I spend with him. I started to panic after I started to think about Toby’s arms tighten protectively around me “what’s wrong” his voice was so soft. I wanted to run away from him; I’m too scared that if I let him into my heart he would hurt me. But I had no choice but to let him in the pull between us is too strong to run away from now. I lay back in his arms he breathed out with relief it seem that he know what I was thinking. He kissed my neck as we got comfortable “thanks for trusting me I won’t let them hurt you” I fell asleep knowing I was safe with him. waking to an empty bed I started to panic, thinking I had dreamt it all up. But I could hear his voice outside the door his voice was full of anger.

I woke up with someone knocking on the door; I looked down at Holly she slept peaceful in my arms I didn’t want to move. But I had to because the knocking got louder and I didn’t want to wake her up. I got out of the bed and laid the covers back over her and walked out the room to find Ben standing there. Not happy he had to wake me “what do you want Ben” he didn’t look very happy either. I shut the door, then turned back to face Ben “what is it Ben”. He didn’t answer me for a long time “it him he knows we got her and he wants her” my hands balled into fists. He was no way getting his hands on Holly “well he not going to” Ben didn’t look very happy with my answer. I wanted to strangle him “I think we should hand her over she more trouble than I thought” my anger was building. He knew that to because he backed away from me “if you ever try and give her to him I’ll kill you before you can, do you understand". Ben stopped backing away from “don’t you threaten me I’m only thinking of the pack here” I wanted to hit something. I tighten my fists “I KNOW YOU ARE BUT IF YOU OR ANYONE TRY HURT HER OR GIVE HER OVER TO HIM it will hurt me” my voice went quite at the end and I looked at the ground. I heard footsteps getting closers I look up to find Harry standing in front of me and Ben “what the hell going on here” he looked at both of us. I swallowed I didn’t want to make Harry angry. He was the leader of the pack Ben spoke first “I was telling Toby that we should give Holly over to them she the one who brought the trouble”. Harry shook his head “we are not handing her over to them there are two reasons why the first is we don’t know what they’re going to do to her and the second is if anything happen to her we don't know what it would do to Toby. There bond has grown stronger than anything I ever seen before so I don’t know how it would affect him” after he finish speaking that when I realised Holly was standing in the doorway. She staring me with enormous brown eyes Ben stared at her and me then stomped off “you can't going to let them take me” her voice was soft and shaky. Harry walked over to her but I couldn’t move I was glued to the floor those eyes were like when she was eight. I just stared at her while he talked to her “we not going to let them touch you Ben was a bit moody because Toby maker and your father are planning a war against us”. He looked at me and I knew he was about to drop the bombshell on her now I stepped towards her side. I looked into his eyes trying to plead with him but he shook his head “she need to know who and what her mother was, she got to learn to protect herself, because if anything happen to us she look after herself” she stared at us. He lead us back into my room she sat down I sat next her while Harry sat in a chair opposite us.

I sat on the bed Toby sat next to me I was waiting for the man to tell me about my mum who I never know who died when I was a baby. He was sitting opposite us he started to speak “your mother ancestors were a very powerful tribe of witches; your mother isn’t a witch. But she could do magic from the book she gothanded down to her from her mum. She got her spells from it, the book was called black rose it is the most powerful spell book in the world. The book is past down in the family to their daughters your mother was to past the book it down to you and teach you about it. But she died when you were only 5 months old” my mouth fell open how does he know this about my mum and when she died. He grabbed something from his jacket and pulled a black book out and handed it to me, I looked down at the front of the book. The front of the book had a white rose curving around the front of the book. He started to talk again “I knew your mother when she was alive I bonded with her like you have with Toby but I let her go. Because she was my enemy; she came from a long line of witches even though she didn’t get her power. But she was still my enemy. I still watched over her, I watch her fall in love with your dad and then she had you. The day she died she came to me and gave me that book and told me when you were ready I would go find you and tell you about the book and where you came from”. He looked down at his hands then looks me in the eyes his were fully of sadness “I could of saved her if she told me earlier and it wouldn’t of been to late but when I figured it out she was dead”. He finished speaking and stood up and walked out of the room I turned towards Toby he wasn’t looking at me he was staring at the door his leader left through.
