Mixed Fates

Chapter 22

Mia’s Pov.

Greg has been here every single day but every single time we fight. I wonder why mommy and daddy let him come each time. I have only seen them aside from the doctors. All my stitches are out but they have left me looking like Sally from the nightmare before Christmas but I am kind of liking it.

I am not fully healed and I probably never will. I am limping because my hips are crooked. I have not been outside but I have been sitting out on the balcony enjoying the sun. Mommy said it is the middle of may so the heat is coming in. I wrap the huge gray open cardigan more around me and drink my water. I hear people walking around down on the grounds and I hear a girl laugh. My friends have not come to see me.

Mommy says that Kristal is mated and gone. I sent her a message but she did not answer it. Salene is away in collage, she answered my message but very short worded. Then there is Amber. She is here but she does not want to see me, she said so outside of my door. Then I have some guy friends that I wondered if I should talk to but Greg said to leave it. Another fight we had.

My entire magic is still just focusing on my healing so I am still having to keep all my energy to keep it to it. I can feel it in my fingertips just asking me to be let out. I let a little fire start in my palm. It is not the normal bonfire. It is more red like someone put some food color in it. I watch it for a little while just admiring the fire dancing in my palm.

ALARM!

I jerk in the seat, my magic takes the chance and jumps into the little fire I had in my palm and makes it huge bursting into the sky. I fumble to get it under control but it only makes me fall to the ground but with the fall the fire dies out.

ALARM!

I just lay on the ground, I hear womans and kids running and screaming but I don't feel scared for them. I used to feel scared about my pack when someone was attacking us. Not that many could cross my barrier anyway. I slap myself in the face. I forgot to put it back up. I can not hear the fight but then again my hearing is not that great. By the time I am finally up from the ground I can not hear anyone anymore but I have a funny feeling in my stomach. I should check out what is happening and maybe killing some rouges helps my magic refocus.

I stop in the doorway.

Killing someone will help me?

I shake that thought out of my head.

After what felt like eternity for me, I finally make it outside where everything was just dropped as people heard the alarm. The alarm was at the time put in for me, I could not hear through the mindlink so I needed to have an alarm to make sure I would get to safety or sometime the battleline. Mommy was so against it in the beginning but then saw I could help.

I push my magic into the air, I have done this a million times but somehow it feels weird. I push my magic forward until I feel it connect with daddy. I had to make my own mindlink to them and also it helps me calm down if someone was kidnapped. No matter how far away I can find you through our connection.

“Found you” I giggle.

Then I push a little more to feel the surroundings but then I connect to mommy but she is in front of daddy. I lift an eyebrow. Why is mommy in the front when they are all just standing around? Then like a lightbulb in my head.

They have her.

I start running but of course I am so slow that it makes me so angry. Then all of a sudden I am lifted up and thrown over a shoulder. His ass just staring me in the face but I know this mans.

Greg.

We make it to the group in no time but we come from the side so we can see everyone. We are a little higher then them and they are all just standing and talking.

“Rouges have been chipping away at your lands like taking candy from a baby” the leader says.

He has mom on her knees by him. She is bloody with a black eye. She is a human what is she doing all the way out here anyway. He is holding her by her hair.

Fire is burning my heart but Greg holds me back.

“You have grown soft Alpha”

His pack laughs. Daddy’s face is stoic.

“Since your b***h of a daughter was taken, you have no one to hide behind”

He laughs and shakes mommy’s head.

“And now I will kill you and expand my pack finally to have space for my sidechicks away from my mate”

My magic is on the edge. I can't hold it back anymore. I stand up but then my step is haltered.

Daddy is smiling. Like a closed mouth half crooked smile but smile.

“Yeah we have been taking hits since my daughter was kidnapped but since her return I am sure they will be no more”

I can see the other person stiffen up and all the color from his face drains.

“And since you are holding her mothers hair I would not even try running”

I start walking into the meeting. Daddy’s voice dripping with poison. His gaze moves to me as I walk or limp their way. The other leader's face moves slowly to look at me, his face is horrified. He looks like he is watching a zombie. Mommy smiles, I can see blood in her mouth too. The leader has let go of her but all of a sudden he pulls her up and uses her as a shield.

“You will not attack me, you freak! I have your mother and attacking me is signing her death sentence!” he yells at me.

Hearing him so scared made his pack members scared so they start shifting and running away. I let the fire pour from my hands to make a wall of fire to make sure they don't make it far. The leader looks around and I can see the fear in his whole body. He pulls mommy closer to him.

“You would not risk your dear mothers life!”

I look at them, he is right I can not burn him with him so pressed up against mommy like that.

“LIGHT HIM UP!”

My eyes widen.

“Mommy”

She is so angry, I can almost see the fire in her eyes.

“Mia…” Daddy warns me.

Her eyes swiftly go over to him and then to me again.

“LIGHT HIM UP!”

Without thinking about it a second longer I let my magic flow from me like a wave of fire burning everything in its path. I feel it wrap around me like a blanket and tickling my skin. The screams of his pack members fill the air. Without even looking I know my pack members are safe because I feel every single spark of my fire.

“Please!”

“NO NO NO!”

“AAAHHH”

For some reason the screams are soothing my heart. My anger that boils inside me all day every day. I look at him. He is still holding my mommy. I point my fire at him, he stares at me like I am the reaper coming for his soul.

“You are a monster!”

“I know” I smile at him.

The fire starts coming up from behind him, he spins around dragging my mommy with him but the fire does not touch her. It sticks to his shorts and then within a few seconds he is all aflame. He throws mommy away from him, slapping himself trying to kill the flames but they are like leeches, sticking and eating him. Daddy picks up mommy bridal style keeping her safe. I start walking closer to them and don't stop until I am standing in front of them.

I watch him fall to his knees then fall down dead. The air is so thick with burned flesh smell and grass. Usually I would think this smell would make my stomach twist and turn but it didn't bother me.

“Mia?” daddy asks.

I barely hear him. I just can’t pull my eyes from the scene in front of me. So many bodies laying in the black ash that was green grass a few moments ago. My magic is soothed and for some twisted reason my head and heart too.
