Failed Them
Nathan.
I grunted as I tried to get up on my feet, but my left leg gave way and I fell on my butt. Just as I tried to stand up again, I heard another explosion and I fell.
I cried in pain, gritting my teeth as I watched my blood flow out of my injured leg.
The leg was badly hurt by the explosion and I knew there was no way I could stand up on my own.
I have to get help. I reached into my pocket to get my phone, but it wasn't in my pocket. I checked my other pocket and it wasn't there either.
Shit! I must have dropped it somewhere else. I didn't hear any other explosion, but the intruders were still in the pack and they could do anything.
I gritted my teeth, as I tried to crawl back to the clinic and find a way to contact anyone.
"Nathan!" I heard Kara exclaim and I looked up to see her run towards me. She gaped in shock and covered her mouth with her palms.
"Kara, what are you doing here? Who let you in?" I asked weakly and coughed. The injury seemed to have been infected with the silver and it was slowly poisoning me.
"I tricked the guards into thinking Dante approved when I called him," Kara replied and she bent down, taking a look at my leg.
"You talked to Dante?" I asked.
"Yes, and he's on his way," she replied. So he finally decided to pay attention to his calls and the pack he left defenseless for God knows what.
He took everyone who could organise people and handle this situation well. He knew I wasn't around too, I wouldn't even be here if not for Natasha's distress call.
I was in pain, helpless and angry.
"Fine. You have to go now before it gets more dangerous," I said and Kara stood up straight.
"No, I have to find Natasha. Where is the clinic?" She asked with her heel clicking against the tarred road.
"Kar...a," my voice broke as I tried to call her back while she walked hastily in the direction of the clinic.
I crawled, pushing myself on the ground so I could stop her.
I wanted to stand up, but I was afraid, if I tried to, my leg could completely break into two and nothing would heal it then.
I continued crawling as Kara walked right into a place that could be dangerous.
The clinic couldn't be evacuated since the roads were blocked with rubbles and Kara began to run faster having seen the building of the clinic.
"No, Kara, stop!" I shouted with all the energy in me and I began to feel dizzy.
My eyelids became heavy and my vision was blurry..
I fought the dizziness, but I lost and the last thing I saw before my eyes closed was an explosion in the clinic.
"Kara," I muttered softly before going unconscious.
***
Dante.
I dialed Kara's number and she picked the call immediately.
"Hello, Kara, what is it?" I asked.
"Bombs," she replied. What? What bombs? Where?
"Kara, what are you saying?"
"In your estate. Explosions everywhere," she replied and I gasped in shock.
Nico was facing me with shock on his face so he must have heard with his wolf hearing.
Explosion! Immediately I remembered Natasha's warning this morning. Maybe that was why she called me several times.
But she didn't pick her calls again so I worried something had happened to her.
"Alright. You can go, I'll be there now," I said and I ended the call.
I glanced at the bartender on the floor and looked at Nico.
"We have to go," I ran out immediately and jumped to the other side of the counter. I ran through the crowd, not minding anyone on my way.
"Hey watch it!"
I continued running and climbed into my car quickly.
"The pack is under attack!" I yelled and I started the car as Nico slammed the door shut.
I drove at maximum speed back to the pack and after ten minutes, I got to the pack.
I gaped in shock to see all the guards at the gate lying dead in a pool of their blood.
I gulped painfully and continued driving into estate. I looked up and saw all the smoke rising into the hair across the pack.
No, no, no. This can't be happening.
I felt an ache in my chest as I felt several emotions all at once.
I was scared, angry and disappointed in myself for failing my pack.
I was close to the first clinic and I could see the smoke rising in the air.
All the sick and helpless people there. I gulped and tears stung the corners of my eyes.
I brought the car to a screeching stop as I got close to a part of the road destroyed and filled with rubbles. A bomb had exploded here.
I climbed down from the car quickly and I continued running across the road. I stopped as I saw someone lying in the middle of the road.
It was Nathan.
I gasped and I ran to him, bending down. His leg was badly damaged, and he looked pale, but he was breathing.
I held back the tears in my eyes, surpressing the pain I felt. He tried telling me. They all did.
I stood up quickly, "get him away and help everyone that's injured!"
I instructed and looked around.
Natasha.
Is she okay?
Where is she?
I looked in the direction of the pack mansion and I glanced at Nathan's body one more time before running to the mansion.
I failed them. I failed all of them.
