Agh, I don't know anymooooore, I'm running out of mildly appropriate songs! Everything else on my lists are basically rock songs or depressing Twenty One Pilot songs that would probs ruin every mood the chapters set. Lol. Anywhoo, Song is Team by Lorde.

oh, and the A/N is (big surpriiiise!) very long, but it's cut into small chunks so you can pick up the gist of it

The next few days go by in a blur. Quinn teaches me how to fight, though I do not enjoy it. Kristine and Jace help me master my new abilities: flight, and the control of plants. I loved every second of that. We were all on high alert for the siblings, but they never show. It's scaring us that they haven't struck yet. As for Ryan and Drake, I don't see them anymore, which is a bittersweet relief.

"Sera! Someone's here to see you!" Violet screams from downstairs.

"Huh?" I ask to myself.

Who the heck do I know that's not already here?

"Coming!" I shout, getting up off my bed and running downstairs.

Before I knew how to put away my wings, for a proper human facade, I would sometimes fly down the stairs by accident, often getting hurt. I laugh softly at those memories, coming face to face with one of my captors.

"Sprout! Oh good, you can fold your wings in! I assume you know how to use your ability, too, right?" Drake exclaims, coming closer to me.

"Get away!" I screech, stepping away.

Hurt flashes across his face, and he frowns.

"Sera, look, I'm so-"

"NO! Get away, Drake! I never want to see your face again! You betrayed me! You killed my parents! You didn't even help me escape from Ryan; in fact, you seemed completely fine with it! I hate you! I wish you never came here!" I scream at him, feeling - for the first time in a while - white-hot fury course through my veins.

I start to feel the pull at my gut, the usual pull of my abilities coming up to the surface.

"Sera, calm down..." Violet says softly, but I scream, turning around and running up the stairs.

An arm catches me, holding me against a warm chest.

"Hey, hey, hey! What's going on?" Quinn whispers to me, keeping me tightly against him.

My anger slowly fades away, the pull of my abilities waning as well. I sigh.

"Drake's here. He's downstairs," I mumble in his chest.

"Why is he here?" Quinn asks.

"I don't know. But, in case you didn't realize, he was there. With me when I was kidnapped. Him and Ryan were so friendly with each other, and he didn't even help me escape. In fact, he almost kept me there by trying to grab my ankle when I flew away. I hate him now."

Quinn growls, letting me go.

"Where are you going?" I ask.

"Downstairs to beat the lizard to a pulp," he seethes.

I shrug, walking to my room. Deep inside, I feel bad that I'm letting Quinn hurt Drake, but I'm too blinded by my hate to care enough. I know I will get over it soon, I always do, but right now, I feel some satisfaction that Drake will get what he deserves.

Drake

I hear footsteps coming back down the stairs, and I know what's coming: a very angry Alpha looking for revenge.

Quinn enters, his eyes pure liquid gold now, a scowl on his face. I look straight at him, preparing myself for his blows.

"You," he growls, honestly sending slight tremors of fear down my spine.

Stop it. You know what's going to happen. Besides, you're a prince, act like it.

I'm so caught up in my own reassurance, I don't see the punch to my jaw. It sends me backwards a bit, but I hold my place.

"Quinny!" Violet gasps, but she squeaks and runs when Quinn sets his eyes on her.

He turns back to me, anger practically rolling off his body in waves now. He advances, pushing me against the wall.

"You son of a b-" he starts, but I cough to warn him about language.

"Stay away from this house, stay away from my pack, and stay the f*** away from Serafina! Do you understand, Lizard?" He growls, clamping his hand around my neck.

My oxygen flow starts to dissipate, resulting with me gasping for breath.

"Yes, Sir," I choke out, gasping for breath when he lets go.

I cough, leaning over.

"I'll be going now, but I'm going to say now: be careful. They're coming soon. Very soon," I warn, before walking out the door.

When I get back to the house, Ryan stands in the doorway, his face scrunched up in worry.

"They're on their way, aren't they?" I ask him, already knowing.

He nods grimly, before walking out to meet me.

"Let's go. They'll need u-" he begins, but frowns when he notices the bruise forming around my neck and on my jaw.

"What happened?" He asks, going out to touch my jaw.

"Nothing. Just what I expected," I mutter, stepping away from him.

He nods, before shutting the front door and walking back to me again.

"Let's go. We need to help them when the time comes," he says, before starting off into the forest.

I sigh, following him. This is going to be rough.  

OMG I am soooo sorry for updating late! Since I've been sick, I took a nap, then ended up in bed, reading a series on here. It's really good. Then I was looking at the time, then thought, "what day is it?"

I look at my calendar and saw it was Wednesday, then I freaked out. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry! And this chapter was really short too! But I think it's because the next chapter is....*looks at list of chaps left* yes, it WILL BE THE LAST KINDA OFFICIAL CHAPPIE.

*bursts into tears* GAH THIS BOOK WILL BE OVER....I actually don't know if I should be crying with joy or sadness. I mean, this cringe will be done and over with! Yay! But then again.... I'll be leaving Sera, Drake, Quinn, and lil' Ry behind. Hmm, well, not lil' Ryan. THAT'S RIGHT, YOU HEARD ME RIGHT! RYAN'S COMING BACK, BETTER THAN EVER.....SORTA

Okay, let me explain! So, the book I told you about earlier? This one?

Well, it was actually supposed to be originally a high school au for Drake and Ryan. Haha, it didn't work out well....

For those of you who had the absolute pleasure (sarcasm) of seeing the first two (and last two) chapters of We're Just Friends about a month or two ago (literally like, two or three people but whatever), well, I basically took those two main characters and put them in a......MENTAL HOSPITAL *throws confetti everywhere*

Yeah, so now it's not Drake and Ryan, but Ryan and a guy named Asher Jackson. Lol, I just couldn't write something serious with the name Drake (sorry, Marley. Don't kill me plz)

BUT HEY, THAT WILL BE COMING OUT SOON. Like, next week-soon! Yay!

Enough blabbering.....

QUESTION TIME: What's your age RANGE? I mean, you CAAAN tell the exact age, but to keep things a bit more anonymous, age range in groups of 4? 6? Yeah, six will be fiiiinnne.

To make things simpler (bc I don't wanna do it by tens) here's the chart:

0-6

7-13

14-20

21-27 

and so on, seeing as you can only be in one category, so repeating numbers would be dumb....

My answer: I am in the 14-20 category! Ha, I basically confirmed I'm part of the majority of wattpad, lol

Such a big accomplishment, obviously. If you want, try to guess my EXACT age, but I could really care less if you do. 

SORRY THIS WAS LONG BUT I'M SICK SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING. YEAH
