The Black Hybrid

Last Hope

Scarlett's Pov

"Honey I'm home." After I said this I felt two strong arms wrap around me.

"My god, Scar you look so skinny." Jake said and looked as pale as a ghost.

"Don't even leave me again." I whispered in his ear. "I love you."

"I love you too Scar. I was so scared we couldn't find you anywhere. I thought I'd never see you again or worse..."

"You're not getting rid of me that easily." I said with a small giggle and a smile.

"You still look beautiful covered in blood." Jake whispered kissing my cheek.

"Why does someone smell of blood?" Michael said walking throw the kitchen door with a glass of blood. "Oh hi Scar... WAIT SCAR!" he yelled running up to me and pulled me into a bone-crushing hug. As he did I flinched scared he would do something. He immediately pulled away and gave me a worried look.

"I-I'm just gon-gonna go to my room." I stuttered scared that they would all be mad at me and do something to hurt me. I quickly turned around and used my vampire speed to run to my room and lock the door. I slid down the door and tried to listen to their conversation, but I let the blackness consume me.

Jake's Pov

"Why did she flinch when I touched her?" Michael asked sounding sad.

"I don't know mate but something is up and I'm going to go and find out." I replied.

"Are you sure that is wise? She looked so scared and so skinny. When I hugged her I could feel all her bones. When was the last time she ate?"

"I don't know but she's scaring me. What did they do to her?" We all paused and thought about it before i said "Maybe I should bring some soup up when I go and talk to her?"

"Let's give her some time to settle back again and then let's just hope she'll eat it." Conner said sadly.

We all went and sat in the living room and I went to turn the TV but I knew none of us would watch it we were all too consumed with our thoughts to what had happened to Scar, I just didn't want an awkward silence. About two hours later I decided Scarlett needed to eat and I wanted to talk to her and make sure she was okay. I got up from the sofa and walked into the kitchen. I went over to the cupboard and heard someone enter the kitchen. I turned around to see Michael.

"Maybe we should make soup with a bit of blood in it. She may need it. She is part vampire after all." He said with a small smile. I still haven't forgiven him but I knew he wanted to see Scar again, you could see it in his eyes at how sad he was.

"Michael, how old were you when Scar thought you died?" I asked curiously.

"Scar was 15 at that time and I was 10. I use to think she was my guardian angel. She used to protect me from anything that's why I told her to run. It was my chance to repay her. But I know I messed up more than I ever could of. When I woke up from the attack I didn't know where I was or how to get back to her, and by the time I did, I thought I was too late. I was there the day of the attack on the castle. I looked all around for her and her family. When I saw they were dead I jumped to conclusions. I thought she was dead too, but something told me she wasn't but I never listened to it, because why would they want her alive. But now I know why."

"Why did he want her so badly?" I questioned again.

"Well about 3 years before I disappeared we use to have another best friend. Scar was 12, I was 7 and he just turned 11. He was the to become the Prince of Vampires because the only person who could ever be Queen was Scarlett. Everyone always thought that if you were mated to the Queen you were to be the King but that's not how it works. Nobody can be the king because no one was ever meant to be. Whoever is mated to the Queen will only ever be a Prince. There will never be someone more powerful than Scar. She's the only supernatural to live with 3 different supernaturals making her basically invincible, the only way for her to die is for all her mates to die or reject her and she choses to do or she has given up the will to live with or without a mate. And that's what I'm so scared of right now. She's the strongest supernatural and he wanted it for himself. However when he turned 13 he had to go to where his parents were because he had to start being a proper prince apparently, but I knew it was because he started to like Scar and his parents knew it would course trouble, he was power hungry even at a young age. He wanted Scar for her power, he thought he could take it for himself. But I guess by the way Scar came back we no longer need to worry about him. He is dead." Michael said almost out of breath. I looked around the kitchen to see everyone now listening to what Michael had been telling me.

"What do you mean by you're so scared of her dying?" I asked now getting more scared.

"She's been through this once and he can already see how it's affected her once, I'm just scared that this time we've lost her." He said looking at the ground.

"So what you're saying is you think she's going to let herself die?" I say panicked.

"I'm saying its a possibility. However, this time she has her mate and pack to help her. I know we won't let her die." He stated. With that, I put the soup on to warm. Once it was done I took it off and Michael put some blood into it and I started to walk upstairs. As I was halfway up the stairs I heard a deafening scream come for our room. I dropped the soup and ran towards the door. I went to open it but its locked so I started trying to break it down. After a couple of minutes and more screams later I finally broke the door down and what I saw broke my heart.

Scar was lying in the middle of the floor with claw marks all down her arms. I ran over to her and started to shake her awake. "Scar wake up its a dream. SCARLETT WAKE UP!" I screamed so scared of what was happening to my mate. Her eyes shot open and they were the most amazing colour I had ever seen but also made me so scared, not because of her, the power behind them they were light blue almost white with a black ring on the outside and red specks. I was broken from my trance with Scar whispering, "You're my only hope Jake, if you die so do I... you're the only one left, please don't leave me.." with that her eyes shut again and she fell into a deep sleep. 'What did she mean by I'm the only one left?' 'Her other mates are dead or they have rejected her Jake. If you die or reject her she will most likely die or not want to live anymore. She will have nothing to live for, Queen or not, she'll want to die, it all depends on how strong she is. But that will never happen because you aren't going to die anytime soon and if you ever mark her you'll live as long as she does. Once marked when one dies, you both die.' Ash told me. It took a moment for what Ash had just told me to sink in. "WHO THE HELL REJECTED YOU!"
