Karen.
The sound of Classic music being played by a piano filled the house as Alexander struck the keys calmly and at the same time violently.
Memories flooded into his mind as he did and the expensive furniture room where he sat was replaced with the image of a teenage boy screaming for help as a fire burned everything. The image of a teenage boy crawling out of a burnt-down wooden house with his younger sister in hand. The music of the Piano was slowly replaced with screams and the cry of the little girl, the siren of the ambulance and firefighters.
Alexander suddenly struck the Piano and an uncoordinated annoying sound burst out. He stood up walked up the stairs. His fingers trailed the wall as he walked down the long corridor and he stopped before a room before slowly opening the door.
He stared at the teenage girl sleeping on a bed and he walked closer. He knelt beside the bed and gently used his finger to push aside strands of her black hair. He glanced at a wheelchair folded up against the wall and guilt filled his eyes immediately.
He suddenly stood up and walked back to the door. As he opened the door and stepped out, he bumped into someone and he looked up to see the woman staring at him in shock.
"Master Alex!" She exclaimed in shock and mouth wide open.
"Helen, how have you been?" Alexander asked with his hands in his pockets.
"I'm fine, I have to properly tuck Kara into bed," Helen replied with a sudden cold attitude and walked past him. Alexander turned around and watched her leave in disbelief, but he soon ignored it and walked away.

Everywhere was burning with fire and screams filled the house. A young Alexander panicked as he successfully pushed the weight of the table away from himself.
"Alex," a voice cried weakly and Alexander looked forward to seeing his brother, Nathan crying. His leg was stuck in the wooden floor and the burning fire was fast eating up its way towards him.
"Alex," Nathan cried again and stretched out his hands towards Alexander. Alexander crawled forward and stretched out his own hands to pull Nathan, but just as he was about to make contact with Nathan, he pulled
back and moved away.
"Alex, help, help me," Nathan continued to cry, but Alex watched him from his distance, doing nothing even as the blazing fire came upon Nathan.
"Hurrrgh," Alexander jacked out of sleep and panted heavily. He looked around and sighed before getting up and pulling the curtain.

I closed the novel on the table and sighed. I glanced at the crib where Draco was sleeping and I leaned into the chair I was sitting on.
I've been reading all day, but now I'm bored. There's absolutely nothing to do. I wanted to join the men in the training room, but I didn't feel comfortable to. I don't know how Stella does it.
Kaden has also gone out since we came back from the wedding venue. It's about some small packs wanting to unite with the Moon Edge Pack and the pack also wanting to move to another location.
I stood up from the chair and decided to go see Stella. She hasn't shown herself since we got back and I haven't spoken to her in eight months.
I glanced at the crib Draco was sleeping in one last time before walking out of the room and closing the door.
I placed my hand on the door and my hands glowed in a bright golden color.
"Fortranim," I chanted the spell Garr told me he used earlier and I could feel a magical coverage build up around the room.
I removed my hands from the door and looked at both sides of the corridor before walking towards Stella's room.
I knocked on the door of her room and waited, but I got no reply. I knocked again and could finally hear someone walking toward the door.
The door soon opened and Stella's head stuck out of the door.
"Hiii." I said, hating that things had to be this awkward between I and Stella. Before the hibernation thing, she and I were not fully on talking terms. She was mad at me then because Lucas had to risk his life for me and all the trouble going on then didn't give us time to resolve it.
"Hi. What do you want?" Stella asked in a surprisingly cold tone rhstt caught me off guard. I stared at her for a while in surprise, but I blinked and ignored it.
"I just came to check up on you," I said and gulped.
"I'm fine, thank you," Stella said and she disappeared behind the door, attempting to close the door.
"Stella, wait," I said and placed my hand on the door to stop her. She let go of the door and opened it again.
"I told you I'm fine. I was sleeping before you came," she said and I could hear the irritation in her voice.
"Stella, your wedding just got disrupted, it's okay to not be fine and you can talk to me," I said, but I saw her eyebrows raise in anger.
"What do you want me to say!" She suddenly raised her voice at me and she opened her door wider.
"That bad things always happen because of you?!" She asked loudly and I gulped.
"Stella-"
"Or do you want me to talk about how everyone has to put their asses on the line for anything that concerns you?!" She asked again, and I pressed my lips into a tight line, not knowing what to say.
I looked over my shoulder and the door of the opposite room opened, Lucas walking out in a grey shirt and black sweatpants.
He glanced at me and looked at Stella, walking towards her and placing his hand on her shoulder.
"Calm down Stella," he said in a soft voice, but she shook her head and shook his hand away.
"Don't tell me to calm down, I don't want to see her here!" Stella yelled angrily and Lucas put his hand on her shoulder again.
"Okay, you need to rest," Lucas said and she gently turned her around and took her into the room.
