A Bite To Remember

Chapter 3

Lola's POV:

I wake up to my cell ringing checking the time it's 7am who in the world is calling at this hour. Checking the color id it says South Dakota police department why are they calling me so early. Answering the phone it's one of Travis and I's best friend Raven. Raven tells me there has been an accident that involves Keegan and Esmé, and we need to fly there as soon as possible, so, she can explain more when we get to the police department.

Ending the call I shoot up out of the bed and wake Travis up telling him we have to go to Hot Springs South Dakota because Keegan and Esmé's been in an accident. I don't know all the details, but it is bad, and we have to go now. We have to protect Star at all costs no matter what. Travis, and I pack a bag for a couple of days with only our essentials that are needed and run out the door to our little blue pick-up truck.

Heading to the airport we are silent you could hear a pin drop afraid to know what will be in store for us when we get to South Dakota. Arriving at the Wyoming national air port we fly through check out and aboard the plane, so we can find our seats. It will take almost 4 hours to get there, since we can't use our cell phones on the plane we plug our pods into our ears and listens to music to pass the time till we find out more information.

Stepping off the plane we are met with one of our best friends from Hot Springs Police department, Raven comes over to us with a sad face and tells us to follow close behind her, so she can escort us to the police department, so we can talk there.

Walking into the police station Raven leads us straight to her office in the back. Raven say, she is truly sorry, but she didn't make it there in time, and she didn't think it would be right to tell us over the phone, but she learned that Keegan and Esmé died at the scene of the crash, but she also learned that Esmé had been stab with a laced knife with ravine that pierced her heart.

They realized this wasn't just an accident, but it was a terrible murder. Travis, and I knew right away that we would have to inform Star of her parents and bring her with us to Casper Wyoming to stay. First we have to go to the clan to get ahold of Julius to fill him in on everything he will know what we need to do from there.

Travis says, let's head to the school to tell Star. When we get to the school we head straight to Mr. Anderson's office to let him know what happened to Keegan and Esmé because he was also a good friend of there's and helped watch over Star from afar. After we fill him in Mr. Anderson announced Star's name over the intercom about 5 minutes or so later she walks in. I can tell she sense's something is off because Travis and I are here, and we haven't seen each other for about 4 years or more.

Mr. Anderson asks her to please take a seat but before Star sits down she comes over to give us a hug and to let us know that her mom and dad will be so happy to see you guys. My heart breaks because she doesn't know yet, and I try to hold back the tears the best that I can.

Star finally takes a seat, and we let Mr. Anderson break the news to her. Looking at Star you see her bright shining eyes start to dim, and her heart breaks into a million of pieces, then all of a sudden she starts to fall to the floor.

Oh my goodness someone catch her before she hits her head. Travis catches her right before she falls and cradles her to his chest. The secretary Mrs. Reese comes in to the office and guides us to the nurses station, so we can lay Star down in one of the small beds to rest. I ask Mr. Anderson if her friends can come down before she wakes up, because she is going to need all the support she can get and I’m afraid Travis and I won't be enough.

He calls her friends Cody, Jasmine, Sam, and Jesse to the office. Travis fills them in on what has happened, and they all agree to stay here with her no matter how long it takes because that is what best friends are for. Two hours later when the last bell of the day rings Star wakes up looking around confused at everyone then reality hits her within a few seconds, and she starts to ball her eyes out.

Jasmine and Sam are the first ones to get to her they end up all hugging each other while crying and comforting Star in her time of need. Star finally starts to calm down, so we all decided to head to her house with all her friends, and mourn the loss of great friends, and a great mother and father. Now it's time to break the news to her that she has to come home with us to Casper Wyoming hoping she doesn't take it to hard, because she will have to leave her old life behind her in order for us to keep her safe and out of harms way. How do you even begin to start a conversation like that. You can tell she is physically and mentally drained, but we don't have a choice. Before we leave of course we will make sure our best friends are laid to rest and everything is settled here. Then, onto new beginnings at least I hope so.
