~in Aria's POV til I say~

I was in my holding cell. My back was burning from when Nick whipped me this morning. My hands were tied to the wall. It was around 8 p.m. when I heard something clanking on the trap door that leads to where my cell was. Then I heard it open.

"Aria", my big brother Jayden yelled.

"Jayden is that you", I said.

"Yeah", he said.

"Help me", I cried wanting to feel the safety of my brother's arms after the 9 months of being with this group of rouges.

I heard his footsteps coming closer. Then I saw him standing there with my best friend Chris. They unlocked the door and walked in. They untied my hands and I wrapped my arm around my brother. When he wrapped his arms around me though, I winced.

"Aria what's wrong", Jayden said concerned.

I untangled myself from him and turned around and lifted my shirt so they could see the whip marks.

"Aria how did that happen", Chris said.

"He whipped me", I said softly.

"Who whipped you", Jayden said and I turned around to see them both having pitch black eyes.

"The rouges leader Nick", I said hugging them both. "He almost killed me. I wanted you guys so badly", by the end of this I was full on sobbing.

Jayden had picked me up and is carrying me like a bride. We got to the trap door and Jayden wnet up first, then me, and Chris was last. We made it out and then we quickly shifted and took off into the woods. We stopped when I saw a campfire and it looked like people were there. We all shifted back and then I realized the people were my two little sisters Nadia and Jade, my other brother Jake and my mom Bridget.

"Mommy", I say which gets them all to turn around.

"Aria", my mom says and ran up to me and hugged me.

Then I got attacked by two little squealing girls.

"Hi Nadia, Hi Jade", I say hugging them back.

I then looked up into the piercing blue eyes of my brother Jake.

"Jacky", I use his nickname and ran up and hugged him.

I then heard screaming from where we were before.

"Go into the tent we'll stay out here", Jake said.

Me, my mom, Nadia, and Jade went in the tent and I huddled into my mom with my sisters huddling into me.

"Where's dad", I asked.

"Fighting the rouges with the Moonlight pack", my mom said.

My heart sunk when she said that.

"The rouges can kill them", I cried.

My mom wrapped her arms around me. I soon fell asleep.
