My eyes shot open and I gasped, jerking up from my bed.
I looked around and realized I was in my room. How did I get here? My eyes were heavy and my head was throbbing with a migraine.
It was much worse than an hangover.
I remembered seeing another vision and I was unable to move so I called Dante, but he didn't pick up.
I called Nathan, and I..............and I..............
Shit! I wasn't able to relay the message completely to him.
I climbed down from my bed immediately and put on a slippers.
As I walked past the mirror, I stopped walking all of a sudden and I walked back a bit to look at myself in the mirror.
My eyes were dark, my face was pale and sharply contrasting my voluptuous dark red lips.
My hair was longer too and black than usual.
What the hell?!
Don't tell me this isn't all real! Don't tell me this is a fucking dream!!
No, I have to wake up, I have to warn them!
I hit the mirror in anger and the glass cracked, splitting mirror in 6, neat and accurate parts.
But that wasn't the most shocking thing. Give me six different faces on each part of the mirror.
Well four, if I'm considering the fact that two of them are replicas of me.
It was me, Vampire me, Witch me, Dante, Bastien, and a guy I have never seen in my life.
What the fuck?!
Why am I seeing these people as my reflection?!
I hit the mirror again, shattering the glass into tiny bits.
I closed my eyes and the vision of the Vampires climbing out of the car into the pack flashed through my head again.
It was darkeness all over again for a while before hearing voices in the distance again.
They all started as inaudible mumbles before gradually getting clearer.
"We are here."
I kept on listening, having a bad feeling about whatever this was.
"The bombs are set in place," the same voice said and I gasped.
Bombs?! Where?!
"Good. I want to hear the pack go boom," a different male voice said this time, and my eyes opened immediately.
I panted and moved away from the dressing table.
This was going to happen. I'm sure of it.
I have to wake up! I need to get the hell up and do something about this.
There has to be a way I can wake up, a gate, a door, a portal or something.
I ran out of the room quickly and closed the door. All of a sudden, I heard a loud deafening sound and I almost fell to the ground from the shock.
I covered my ears as I heard another loud blasting, followed by the cries of pain and agony, screams for help, and helpless struggles.
My mind was unstable and I could pick up every sound. I could feel the emotions behind every sound too.
Pain, anger, desperation, agony.
Every single emotion of everyone out there filled my head and I held on to my head, groaning in pain.
Tears trickled down my face as my breathing tensed. I looked up as the entrance door flung open and I saw the bottom of a long purple robe.
I slowly raised my head so I could see the face of the man. He was a man in his late fifties and I have never seen him in my life.
He smiled as he looked at me and walked closer to me. I felt almost paralyzed by the negative emotions filling my mind.
He bent down a bit till our faces were equal and he used his hand to lift up my jaw.
He leaned closer to me, till his face was beside my face and his mouth close to my hear.
"We finally meet, Tribrid."

I gasped as I jerked up from my bed. I looked around and saw that I was in my room.
I'm awake for real this time.
I stopped moving as I began to hear screams and noises. Oh no, don't tell me the attack had already happened.
I could smell the smoke and stench of blood in the air. I climbed down from my bed immediately when the door opened.
It was Dante.
"Oh, you're okay," he said in relief, but seeing him only made me mad.
"Were you able to capture the Vampires I tracked for you?" I asked, crossing my hands over my chest.
He didn't reply so I guess he was unsuccessful.
"I know you said something about pack members being abducted, but I don't believe you. It was definitely something personal," I stated and walked past him.
Just as I placed my hand on the doorknob, I felt an oddly familiar presence in the building.
It was that same toxic and dominant presence..
"He's here," I took my hand off the doorknob immediately and turned around to face Dante.
"What? Who is here?" Dante asked, looking curious.
"We have to hide," I said quickly and walked to my bed, bending and pushing it aside a bit.
"Natasha, talk to me, who's here?" Dante asked, pulling me up.
"I don't know, but he's dangerous and we have to hide. Don't ignore my warning for a second time," I said and I bent down again.
I opened the trap door and I climbed in.
Dante sighed in hesitation before climbing in too. As he walked down, I reached for the edge of the bed and pulled it back over the Trap door.
Almost immediately, someone kicked the door of my room open and I heard footsteps.
"Silly of you to believe that you could possibly hide from me," I heard the same voice of the man in my visions.
"You can't hide from the Apex predator especially when your heartbeat betrays you," the man added and I sighed on the inside.
"Dante Paulo Steele, it's time you pay for what you've caused my family."
Well, I was sure it would be another one of the many people Dante had offended.
"Silas."
