Piper's POV 
                          
Waking up, I felt Jasmine shaking me. 
                          
"What?" I asked in a groggy voice.
                          
"Be quiet... get up and follow Zane." She whispered. 
                          
I knew it was serious and remembered Nicolas was still coming for me. Nodding at Jasmine, she opened the door and handed me off to Zane. I heard commotion coming from the outside of the house and I felt myself go white. I was terrified when I even thought of Nicolas, knowing he is here now is so much worse. 
                          
"Back door." Jasmine mouthed to Zane. 
                          
She went out the front door and for a second the commotion got louder until the door slammed.
                          
"Give her back and there will be no trouble!" I heard Nicolas yell. 
                          
Zane grabbed my arm and carefully led me out the back door. Following behind him, the commotion grew louder and louder until it was a full out screaming. I didn't want to know how many of Nicolas's pack is here but I do want to be with and protect Jasmine. I kept following him though because I know Jasmine knows what she is doing when battling. 
                          
"Down." He quietly said.
                          
I looked down and saw a hidden kind of door. He lifted the door and rushed me down. Once I was in, he followed after. He closed the door and looked over at me.
                          
"Why aren't you at the battle?" I asked.
                          
"Because the other Luna wants me to watch and protect you." He replied looking serious.
                          
"As your other Luna, I demand you go to battle." I told him remembering I'm also a Luna now.
                          
"Sorry, but you know I'm going to follow her orders first." He replied.
                          
Frowning, I sat on one of the plastic chairs. As I sat there, I hoped that this pack will win and kill Nicolas.
                          
"When did he get here?" I asked Zane catching him off gaurd.
                          
"A couple minutes ago." Zane replied keeping his focus on the door.
                          
"Do you know what is happening?" I asked him.
                          
"Jasmine is furious... you can just guess what is going to happen." Zane said.
                          
Imagining Jasmine mad isn't that hard since everytime a guy pack member would hit on me she would go off on them. Thinking of her being furious, I couldn't imagine how bad it would be.
                          
As about 10 minutes went by, my nerves were getting worse and worse. Looking over at Zane, he looked like he was focused on something.
                          
"What are you thinking?" I asked curiously.
                          
He was silent and didn't answer but kept focused. After a couple seconds, he turned to me.
                          
"What did you say?" He asked now paying attention.
                          
"What were you thinking?" I asked him.
                          
"Jasmine was contacting me." He replied.
                          
"About what?" I asked sort of excited but nervous at the same time.
                          
"She said that Nicolas isn't giving up." He told me.
                          
"So what's happening?" I asked nervously.
                          
"She will probably end up killing him whether it's on purpose or not." He replied.
                          
Hearing that, helped my confidence in this pack winning the battle. As I waited quietly and patiently, I heard the door open. It was Jasmine.
                          
"JASMINE!" I yelled as Zane was trying to help me up.
                          
Finally getting out, I wrapped my arms around her not letting go. Looking down, I had seen blood splattered on her clothes.
                          
"Are you okay?" I asked panicky.
                          
"Yeah, I'm fine. Are you alright?" She asked me.
                          
"Yeah, but whose blood is that then?" I asked.
                          
"Nicolas's." She said bluntly.
                          
"Did you kill him?" I asked.
                          
She nodded her head. I felt tears forming in my eyes not from sadness but the happiness of knowing I'm free from him. 
                          
"I love you." I told her and buried my face into her neck.
                          
Inhaling the mix of pumpkin and blood, I felt happy, complete, and free. It's not something everyone has thought before but it was my feelings.
                          
"I love you too, Piper." Jasmine said and held me tight.
                          
Looking up, I saw Zane walking over to the place Jasmine killed Nicolas. I grabbed her hand and followed Zane. 
                          
"Where are-" Jasmine started to say before smiling and realizing where I'm going.
                          
I quickly looked back at her and smiled. Before I tripped over something, I looked back in front of me where I was going. In the distance, I had seen a body which I quickly recognized as Nicolas. Tears streamed down my face as I stopped and watched Zane drag his body somewhere. Jasmine pulled me in another hug.
                          
"It's okay." She said.
                          
I know it's okay... but now I know I'm free from him. It might be dumb but I can't control my emotions sometimes. 
                          
Jasmine slightly pulled my head down and kissed my forehead. 
                          
"So, what's for dinner?" I asked smiling.
                          
She started giggling and my heart skipped a beat knowing she laughed from me. 
                          
"I don't know yet..." She said smiling and stifling a laugh.
