A/N: NOT EDITED.

Chapter 42 – Chelsea POV

Nothing had really went as I was planning up to yet, we seemed to have landed and just kept running when we arrived on the island. It was to be expected, of course would we would have to settle in and gather our bearings, and then we would begin training. That. Never. Happened.



Since we got here it was one disaster after another, weeding through just whom we trust, especially when I realized that not everyone here on the island was actually worthy of being here. I didn’t want to put that label on anyone, deciding who would live or die and who was worth it, that wasn’t why I had been given this journey. In fact it was quiet reversed, I was sent to undo all of the damage that the Elders had created by believing they were above it all as well as deciding the ‘all’ so to speak.



Chelsea stop Kayla, stop her, tell her to stop attacking the boy, Chris shouted in my mind again, I closed my eyes concentrating on Kayla’s mind. Startled, her mind a bowl of past and present, I shook my head, no hurt the girl, stop hurting her bad, she thought, Kayla stop! Stop! Her body instantly stilled, and through her mind a bloodied boy is beneath her. “Grant stay here with Ben,” I said as my eyes snap open and I leave the kitchen, knowing that Grant is on my heals as I leave the house, “Chelsea what’s going-” he’s cut off but my mind is elsewhere.



Leland, Lux, and Marlon go to the beach near Rainy and Chris’ house; there was an attack I believe, right now!



The order is sent and the wind around me picks up, much more than the light breeze that couldn’t so much as move the silky curtains on our window, odd compared to any other night. I glanced at Gabriel, wondering if this was just I, my hair was lifted away, I closed my eyes, reaching out to him and the two of us were upon the scene near the water.



“Oh god! Help him – help him!” a young girl shrieked, “Anthony, Anthony,” che cried, her hair flying in all directions, she swiped it away, wearing nothing but a shirt, the young boy on the ground naked, “Kayla!” I heard from behind me, turning I saw Ben running full speed at me, his face scrunched up, arms swinging as he pushed towards her. Rainy and Chris each had two children clipped to their chest, crying and pleading with Kayla and the babies to stop crying but each shout from the girl, led to louder shrieks from the babies.



“Chelsea don’t let him near her!” She tried to attack Rainy and I, Chris finished in my mind. Getting closer I could see now that the young man was Anthony, Marlon’s son. “Chris give the baby to Gabriel, and help Anthony, he’s Marlon’s son,” I ordered him. Before Leland and Marlon could arrive to the beach, Lux burst through the trees, and from the spot Ben came Julia and Grant followed now.



Lux, its Anthony, I told him over the link, before turning to Kayla. Her fur was silver, shimmering in the night sky as she growled and whimpered. Hurting girl, hurting girl, she thought growling, but it was mixed with images of her in pain, “oh god,” I muttered in understanding.



“Kayla honey shift back,” Rainy tried to coax the little girl, but as she took a step forward, the wolf bared her teeth, agitated.



Glancing back, I looked on as Ben approached Kayla, one step at a time, “It’s me Kayla, I won’t hurt you,” he whispered getting closer than Rainy and I. turning back I went to Anthony, noting that he was covered in blood, claw marks, his heart beating much too slow. Standing I went to my knees near his head, noting he had claw marks on his neck, I placed my hand over them, closing my eyes concentrating to heal that wound immediately when I saw blood at the side of his mouth.



“Do this one next Chelsea,” Chris pointed near Anthony’s groin when he noted what I was doing specifically – healing his wounds. Without thinking I let him place my hand where I needed, “What’s – oh god – Anthony?” Marlon said from behind me, while Julia had seemed to bring the young girls shrieks to sobs, “Lola?” Leland asked in shock. “What – where are your clothes young lady?” his voice taking on a new tone that I couldn’t understand.



“What happened?” Marlon asked frantically, not answering him Chris took over, “We let Kayla run ahead she was over here maybe three or four minutes before we ever came around the corner. This is part of the private beach no one was supposed to be here… when we came-”



“Why is he naked?” Marlon interrupted Chris, “Who did this?”



“Lola?” Leland asked as I closed the wound, my hand covered in Anthony’s blood, “Chelsea his stomach next,” Chris said moving my hand again where it needed to be.



“We – we just wanted to – we’ve always came here – there’s nowhere – where we,” the sobbing girl – Lola – started speaking, well stammering an explanation. From my files I knew that Anthony had just turned fifteen and Lola soon after him, taking pity I answered.



“They were being intimate, Kayla in wolf form came alone, and she attack Anthony, she thought he was hurting Lola,” I said softly to Marlon, “She was remembering…” I looked up at him, she thought Anthony was raping Lola like what others did to her, and she didn’t do it on purpose, I told him flat out.



“Lola…” again Leland said in a tone I didn’t understand, “you’re only fifteen,” I blinked feeling the wound beneath my hand close and Anthony’s breathing softened.



“Daddy-”



“Neither of you have shifted, what if you aren’t mates? What if your mate is here? Did you two think of that-”



“Really daddy? She attacked us-”



Pulling my hand away, I stood leaving Lux, Chris and Marlon to handle the rest, “You were told not to come here by your father?” I asked coldly, “Yeah, but we just wanted to be alone-”



“I don’t care what you wanted to do, or what you were going to do, I care that you’ve been told not to come here long before anyone was here and you’ve been coming here nonetheless?” she eyed her father, Leland. “Whatever chore your mother has on this island, you will accompany her for the next month, when I see her, I expect to see you with her when you aren’t in school or doing your own chores,” I said walking to the water and washing Anthony’s blood from my hands.



“Such a good wolf,” Ben whispered softly petting Kayla, sitting in the sand, “you’re okay, no one is going to hurt you,” he continued as she whimpered.



Bad… sorry… bad… sorry the words on repeat in her mind. “Lets wash your fur in the water,” he cooed as Rainy cried silently, the baby attached to her chest much calmer than before. When Kayla wouldn’t move closer to the water, Ben lifted his hand just as Oakley had, slowly ocean water lifted, clumps flowing. He dropped his hand, to Kayla’s legs the water falling, where he rested his hand. “I’m really sorry about this,” I heard Chris mutter from behind me, “She didn’t mean-”



“I know – they shouldn’t have been here to begin with,” Marlon said slowly, the words hurting to say, but all he could think of was what Kayla was enduring, and feeling selfish that it wasn’t his daughters and son that had suffered the way she had. The way Chris’ children had.



Slowly after he calmed her, he brought his hand out again, this time however instead of dropping the ball of water he brought it closer, using his other hand Ben used the water to remove the blood from Kayla’s nuzzle, “see, all clean now,” he murmured. “Come on, lets get you home,” he whispered to her lifting her in wolf form, she was still a small tiny thing, it was odd looking because of her size and him carrying her but no one said a thing. Gabriel handed the child to Chris, while Grant, Julia, Gabriel and I followed Ben and Kayla back to the house.



When we made it to the house Ben placed Kayla on the deck, “Here,” he turned the outdoor shower on, “You can wash off all the sand before you go inside…” the drops tinkering on the wooden floor. When he took a step away, the loud whine pierced the quiet night, stooping down his face right in front of Kayla’s wolf, “I’ll come see you tomorrow I promise, I even have a surprise for you,” his hands petting her face lovingly.



Waiting until Ben, Grant and Julia went home, and Rainy followed Kayla inside with the babies, Chris huffed, “that poor boy…” I squinted my eyes not understanding, he snorted, “Chelsea you saw how small Kayla is in wolf form, I know that boy could have seriously injured her if he wanted, I don’t understand how she got him so badly,” he said confused, we just saw the naked girl running screaming.



Who knows what she can do...“I – she’s the Earth Elemental-”



“And Ben is Water…” Gabriel interrupted me but I just nodded in agreement; Ben was the Water Elemental.

Kieran POV

I sat with Oakley in the quiet, while my thoughts were racing, rolling and tumbling out of control, but the biggest problem I felt I was having been that I didn’t want to talk to her about it. I didn’t want to sully her with my dirtiness. I didn’t want her to know how bad I was, then she would surely stay away from me, and I think I wanted her around.



No I knew I wanted her around, it was selfish and she’d probably end up hurt, but she was just so kind. Even though she probably could feel that the hand she was holding was dirty she still held it, in hers with a face that I could only explain as cherishing.



“I – I wish I knew you back in Middleburg,” she whispered shocking me, why would she want to know me before then? “Why?” I questioned.



“Well I guess – I guess – if I had you and Ben, I don’t think I would’ve been so sad, or alone,” she shrugged and as clueless as I am I didn’t know what to say back to her. “I didn’t think someone like you existed,” I blurted out the truth.



I couldn’t explain it but here on the island, with the other children, there were groups, people that I would see hanging out with each other, none of them had been like Oakley. Reaching out to me. I of course understood.



“Maybe,” she said in a singing voice, “I was made for you,” my heart raced, I swallowed hard and my body stiffened.



Nyx purred, her words pleasing him, why doesn’t she seem put off on the idea? I wondered but then it hit me that she didn’t know I was her mate, she only wanted to be my friend. Once she found out that I was her mate and that would be when I’d be proven right.



Again I said nothing, just enjoying this, until she yawned, “Sorry,” she said covering her mouth, her eyes closing.



Sighing I stood, “Sleepy? I – I can walk you back?” I offered not ready to let her hand go just yet. Nodding she stood, her hand still in mine, we walked quietly until she was home.



My hand flexed around hers. Oakley stood in front of me, a frown on her face, she looked down at our hands, “Thank you for letting me hold your hand, I know it wasn’t easy for you,” my eyes widened at her words. She was still confusing me.



She was thanking me?



Nodding, I felt her release my hand and walked inside her home. I turned away after looking at the door she went in for some time, each step away my feet felt heavier. I lifted my hand just walking and staring at it, wondering how I held her hand. They were dirty, cursed – I don’t get to finish the thought.



There was a blow to the side of my head and I’m falling forward, blackness taking over before I even hit the ground.
