BRIAR gasped as she saw the scene that was being held before her. She could feel her breath staggering as her legs feel like they're about to collapse. Chris who was by here side turns around and closes his eyes.

Her hand goes to her mouth as she hunches over trying to control her breathing as tears finally fall from her eyes. Her hands rest on her knees as a sob breaks from her mouth.

Briar and Chris just arrived to Oak Creek to help her cousin and their friends. She thought everything would be fine and they would have been able to figure how to kill the Nogitsune or the Oni.

And there lays Allison in Scotts arms as everyone silently stands and cry.

Allison her cousin, best friend, the person who taught her how to do everything she knows is now gone. One of the best people Briar knows isn't going to be greeting her happily every morning, helping her clean her guns and knives, or talking when Briar is finally going to get a boyfriend. She'll never be able to tease her about her relationship with Issac.

Briar looks up again with tears falling faster as Scott kisses Allisons forehead while he hunches over and silently sobs into her shoulder.

Her lips quivers as she closes her hands around her legs squeezing it. She lets out a breath as reality starts to kick in. Someone grabs her shoulder pulling her up. She looks up with a pained expression.

"Calm down," Chris orders her to. Briar bites her lip nodding breathing in and out. He wraps his arms around her kissing her forehead. "I've gotta go help Scott now okay," He whispers and she nods and sniffles.

He pats her shoulder and walks towards Scott as Briar leans against the fence closing her eyes. Her breath is shaky as she slides down and sits on the ground. She rest her head on her knees and sits silently a few stray tears falling every once and a while.

Feelings someone sit next to her Briar lifts her head and turns it to see Scott sadly smiling at her. Scott was always like a big brother to her ever since they met despite who her mom is.

Briar rests her head on his shoulder as he squeezes her hand.

"You okay Rose," Scott asks his voice a little hoarse from the crying he did. Scott always called her Rose since he met her, it being four sleeping beauty, Briar Rose.

"Yes," Briar nods her voice is shaky and her heart starts to beat faster and Scott always knows when she is lying even when her heart rate is steady.

"You know I can always tell when you're lying," Scott gives her a tight smile.

"I know," Briar whispers. "What's going to happen now," Her voice is shaky as a few stray tears.

"I'm gonna figure something out, and avenge her like the hero she was."
