“Jacob don’t!” Sonja screamed as she sat up on the hollow forest ground, staring at him only from a few feet away. A slight breeze caught the moonlit air around them as she struggled to sit up, not only just from having her beloved daughter but also from the blood circulating through her veins. Had it been 654 years since the beauty of the night had been before her? As old memories flowed through her mind she tried to push them away, the only thing she was concerned about at the current moment was her baby that she thought had died when she did. “Jacob please let me hold my baby.” She said as she pleaded to her old best friend, watching him hold her little one as if gently in his arms.

As the dark of night surrounded the three of them Sonja only heard the rustling of tree branches, the soft snow around them glinted and disappeared as if fell to the silver ground. Distant howls kept Sonja awake and coherent as her body tried to work with her mind, her arms reaching out for her daughter but she was unable to make herself stand. “She looks just like him.” Jacob had said out loud as he studied the little one in his arms, “So sad that she is but a hybrid child, one that shouldn’t even exist” seeing the smirk appear on his face she knew what his mind was wandering to. Sonja had never seen her best friend act in this manner, she had the utmost respect for him as she thought he had for her. Fearing what he would do she tried to stand again, her body crumbling to the ground as her knees collapsed from underneath herself. 

Knowing Jacobs’ eyes were on her now fragile body she had to find some way of standing, “Please help me up Jacob, let me see my daughter.” Tears had begun to fall on her cheeks as the tension hindered the air between them, hearing his words like a punching bag to her chest. “No, you should stay still as I hold the hybrid.” his words were like a blade to her heart as she strained her weakened body to stand, only then feeling herself being knocked back to the ground. “Did you assume I was just going to let you and this child live?” Her once hazel eyes turned icy blue hues as the fear had struck her body, her best friend's foot was now standing right in the middle of her chest. As it got harder and harder to breathe she tried pushing it off, even resulting in light punches.
