I felt my voice stuck in my throat as I stood 6 feet away from the white casket. The tears slowly pouring down my face as the Pastor ramble on about how Victor was in a better place and so on. I honestly didn't care one bit. It still didn't change the fact that he was gone.

A hand squeezed my hand causing me to look down. It was Ethan who was also crying uncontrollable. We just gave each other a small reassuring smile that everything was going to be okay. I think he just did it to make sure I knew rather them himself. 

The casket was now being lowered and I watched as everyone walked by and threw a white rose into grave. Cain was here along with Hannah. Kai even came but stood in the back. Leo, Kyle, Oscar, Chase and Richard all sat alongside with Ethan and I. We then all got up and threw our own rose in.

As I looked down into the grave, I felt everything in me shatter. I wanted to scream at world. Ethan held my hand as we walked by. They then said a few more words before the two guys started to fill the grave with dirt. 

That's when everyone started to go their separate way. Ethan and I headed over to Kai who was our designated driver. He gently pulled me into a hug as I cried. For the rest of the day, everyone just stayed locked up in there own rooms in absolute silence. 

How does someone recover from an experience like this?

You don't.

~~~~~~

I let out a tiredness and miserable groan as I tossed in my bed. My blankets were then pulled off me causing the coldness to hit my body.

"Come on, get up!" Leo whined.

I covered my face with my pillow, "It's so early and why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

"I forgot. Now come on. The animal control will be there to board them into the crate. We just got to -"

"Wait," I bolted up from my bed, "Don't get the animal control. They're going to use all this grabbers and the animals will get hurt. I'll do it," I stated as I quickly got off the bed and ran into my bathroom.

Leo stood by the door frame and I started to brush my teeth. "I don't think that's a safe idea. We have the shipment prepared by the house already. It's just to transfer them. The snakes are venomous and the sharks will just attack you and the lion, he's cool for now but he doesn't like being forced somewhere so we have to take precaution," Leo informed me.

I shook my head, "Call them off and trust me," I muffled through the toothpaste.

He let out a sigh with a nod. He pulled his phone out from his pocket before walking back into the bedroom. I finish brushed my teeth and hopped into the shower.

"Wake Ethan up please," I shouted. "Already did," he shouted back. "Thanks," I shouted.

"No problem. I'm going to wait downstairs so you can get dress. Pack a bag. Today we're going to be freeing the sharks then taking a plane to transfer the snakes and lion to Africa," Leo informed me. I thanked him again in return before he left.

I hopped out the shower and dried my skin before walking back into my bedroom. I got into some black two piece swimsuit before hopping into some blue ripped jeans, a black v-neck shirt and black vans. I combed my hair and tied it up in a messy bun before packing some clothes into a Nike bag. I grabbed the bag and ran down the stairs to see Ethan holding his bag and Leo talking to my parents. I walked over before my parents both give Ethan and I a hug and kiss before we took off.

"I'm not so sure about this," Leo mumbled a bit uncertain by his decision of calling off the professional.

I gave him a small smile, "Don't worry about it."

We pulled up to the mansion to see another car was there alone with Kyle, Richard, Oscar and Chase by the door. Getting out the car, Ethan and I both greeted them.

"Where are the guys? They're suppose to be here already," Chase asked referring to the professionals.

Leo shook his head, "Freya is going to transfer them," he mocked and I stuck my tongue out at him as we walked around the house and across the backyard. "She's kidding right?" I heard one of them mumble as we walked across the backyard to the sanctuary.

Ethan let out a laugh, "Yes. Yes she is," he stated.

"I just don't trust the animal control people," I admitted. Once we got closer to the sanctuary, I saw about 2 trucks parked on the side of the building.

Kyle jogged in front and opened the door for me to the build. I thanked him as I walked through. "The sharks will be in 3 different trucks since they're too huge to fit in one truck. All three of the trucks are already lined up by the tank," Oscar informed me.

I nodded my head and walked towards Loki's area and looked to see that the back part of his artificial rock was opened which lead into the back of the truck. In the truck was lighting, food, water and a bed for him along with a window for him to look out.

Loki was on the far side of the sanctuary in a corner as if he was in defense mood. Leo unlocked the gate slowly, "We tried to move him but it just caused him to be irritated. I don't think you should go in yet. Let him cool down and -"

Before he could finish, I opened the gate and walked in. Loki let out a roar and I gave him a smile.

"It's time," I chirped.

He slowly walked over before sitting in front me. "I'm a little nervous. I've never been outside before," he spoke before purring.

I rubbed his head, "Use humans are like that. We all fear the outside world but the only way we could move on is to conquer our fears before it conquers us. I promise to get you to a safe home and if you don't like it, you can live here if you'd like but, you're missing so much more of life if you stay trapped in here."

He let out another purr before standing back up. "I guess you're right and thank you for everything," he stood up on his hind legs before tackling me with a hug. I let out a chuckle as I hugged him back. "Anytime big guy," I giggled.

He then got down and did the same to Ethan causing Ethan to fall back a bit before Loki then purred. He then did the same to all the guys which made them smile. It was nice to see them smiling. Loki then walked over to the back of the truck and go inside before settling down on his bed. Chase secured the back as he locked it up.

"Well, let's see how you handle those venomous snakes," Leo spoke a bit amused by what he has seen so much. I playful smirk rose to my face, "What do I get if I win?"

He thought for a second before smirking, "I'll buy you food during the entire trip if you win but if you lose, you have to shave you head."

My mouth dropped in shock, "No fair. No, if I win, I get to dress you up for a day. If I lose, you get to dress me up for a day," I suggested. Some of the guys snickered at our bet.

"Don't do it Leo. She's going to win," Ethan warned.

Leo thought about it for a second before sticking his hand out, "Deal," he accepted as I shook his hand. Ethan shook his head along with some of the guys.

We then all walked through Loki's sanctuary and walked into the snakes sanctuary only to get an earful of hissing. I looked to the truck to see it was also parked into the sanctuary with a bunch of built in glass tanks for the snake. 

"Is there like some control panel or something?" I asked the guys. Richard walked off to the side before grabbing some tablet from the wall before passing it to me. "This button unlocks all the tanks and this one closes them. The numbers are to open and close them individually," he explained.

I thanked him before turning to the center of the room with Ethan by my side.

"Listen up!" I shouted causing all the hissing to stop. "I'm going to unlock all your tanks. Please stay in your tank until someone gets you. If you bit someone, I will personally be disappointed in you and may put you down. Understood?" I spoke in a stern tone.

The room echoed with loud hissing of snakes agreeing to the terms. I went to push the unlock button but a scream stopped me. It was the guys who looked beyond scared.

My eyebrow rose, "Don't tell me you guys are scared? You kill people for heaven sake."

"We're not scared. We're just taking precaution," Kyle stated and I let out a laugh along with Ethan since it was clear to see he was lying.

I pushed the button and all the glass to the snakes tank rose up so they were free to come out the tanks. The pure look of fear overcame all the guys. I let out a chuckle as I passed one of them the tablet before making my way over to the brown snake I spoke one on one yesterday to. I stretched my hand out to which he slowly slithered on and wrapped himself around my arm.

"I've never seen such grown men act like little girls," he hissed causing me burst out laugh.

"H-he called you guys pussies," I laughed louder.

The guys all rolled there eyes but Ethan just laughed as hard as I did. He gently pick up a Cobra only for it to look him close in the face before licking Ethan's nose. The Cobra turned towards me before speaking.

"Tell him thank you for his help and he has nice eyes," the snake hissed out as it looked back at Ethan.

"She said thank you for your help and that you have nice eyes," I translated causing Ethan to gush yet again.

We spent the next 10 minutes transferring the snakes into the trucks. The guys soon put on their big boy pants and started to help. We were now finish and I turned to look at Leo who was looking everywhere excepting at me.

"You lost home boy. You just wait and see what I put you in," I snickered only for him to sigh in defeat.

Before we walked to the shark sanctuary, I turned to all the guys, "I suggest you get into some swimwear," I informed them.

"Way ahead of you," they all simultaneously replied before lifting up their shirt revealing a piece of their swimming trunks that were under their jeans.

I gave them all a smile before walking into the sharks sanctuary. The entire wall from the back was taken down and three trucks were parked close to the tank. I walked up the stairs to see the trucks were full with water and there were also hampers set up to transfer the sharks from the tank and into the truck.

Ethan walked up besides me, "You're going to have to lift them into the truck," he informed me.

I turned to look at him a bit unsure, "The sharks are way to heavy. I doubt I'll be able to," I admitted.

Ethan gave me a small smile, "Trust me, you can. It will just take a lot of focus since you've never lifted this much before. Remember, meditation makes you stronger."

I slowly nodded before taking off my shoes and clothes which left me in my swimwear. "Neil, Sharp and Mik," I called the three of the sharks.

Their fins peeked out the water as they made there way towards me. "Hello Freya," they each greeted me excitedly.

"Hello, today is transfer day and I need you guys to help me out a bit."

"Sure," Sharp quickly replied.

"Okay, I need you guys to follow me to the other side," I spoke before jumping in. I swam to the other side to where the trucks were. I got up and stood on the edge of the tank. "I need Mik to stay still in this direct spot," I pointed to the area in front the truck. He did as told and I thanked him.

"Sharp you're here and Neil you're there," I pointed to their spots. I thanked them both before I sat down on the edge of the tank Indian style. "I never did this before so please them me if I hurt you," I softly spoke.

"You got this girl," Sharp stated causing me to chuckle.

I looked straight across the tank to see all the guys staring at me a bit in shock but Ethan was sitting Indian style like me. "Close your eyes and focus," Ethan ordered as he looked at me.

I closed my eyes and focused.

"Let your body relax and remember to be one with the object or it will make things harder for you. Know your strengths and how much you can do along with it's unlimited strength. It's just like the paper ball test," he calmly spoke. "Breathe in."

I breathe in.

"Now, breathe out."

I slowly exhaled.

"Okay, now looked down at the tank with your eyes close, take in a few more breaths before opening your eyes and focused."

I did as told and looked down to see the sharks swimming in the same spot. I turned to look at Mik and focus my power. I formed a water bubble around him before trying to lift him up with the water. I watched as he slowly lifted out the water with the water bubble around him. I shifted in my spot and felt like Mik's weight was actually pushing me down. I used all my strength to move him over the truck and gently place him inside.

"Great, just 2 more. You got this big sis," Ethan cheered me on.

I did the same for Sharp and Neil before almost passing out. I didn't realize how much it took out of me until I had to transfer Neil and was huffing away as if I just ran a marathon. They guys started clapping and cheering as if I just pulled off some amazing performance which I did. I let out a chuckle as I stood up and took a bow which only led to some of them whistling.

We all got our things from the car before each hopping in a truck and taking off. Our first stop was to a boat on which the sharks were transported on then released into the ocean. Sharp, Mik and Neil were all so happy and excited to be back in the ocean. The guys, Ethan and I spent about an hour swimming with them before boarding the plan with the snakes and Loki. All the snakes and Loki himself was being released in Africa.

The plane ride over there was honestly the most exhausting thing I've experience since it was a long flight. As we got off, we first released the snakes to which they all thanked me before going their separate ways then drove to another part of Africa to set Loki free.

I looked over to my side to see Loki was standing next to me and I could sense he was still nervous about meeting his pack. It's been 5 minute standing in the same spot waiting for a group of lions to approach since this area was common to them but none of them appeared. I looked behind me to see Ethan and the guys all in the truck for their own safety since these were indeed wild animals and I didn't know how they would react if they saw them.

I turned my head to look at Loki who was a bit disappointed. I scratched the top of his head, "Maybe, you should roar," I suggested. I know lions communicate to each other through roaring, meowing, grunts, snarls and much more.

Loki let out a roar but it came out gentle. I shook my head, "That's adorable but you've got to do better than that," I smiled.

He purred in response, "I'm still nervous," he whined.

"Fine, what if you roar and I send a signal out," I offered but I wasn't really going to. I knew Loki was doubting himself and I need him to know he can do this on his own.

"Okay," he muffled out.

I closed my eyes and focused a little just causing the wind to blow a little under the hot scorching sun. With a great force, Loki let out the most ear piercing roar I've ever heard. I opened my eyes and looked over to him to see him looking in the distance before putting his head down in disappointment.

"I'll don't think -"

"Sh," I shushed him. In the distance, you could hear something rustling around the field that was about half a mile away. Out came a whole pack of lions. There were two male, three female and 2 cubs. They all ran over to us and I looked over to Loki who's eyes just lit up. As they got closer, I saw that one of the male was limping as his leg was torn through.

Loki and I walked over as we all stood under a tree. "What happened?" Loki asked as we walked up to the male lion who was now laying down.

"A crocodile tried to eat one of the cubs so Dax jumped in to save them. Unfortunately they got him," one of the female spoke. I placed my hand over Dax torn leg and focused. Within second it started to go back to it's original form. The lions all got excited and tackled me with hugs and kisses but they were more like licks. I introduced Loki to them and they gladly took him in and promised to teach him about the wild life. I think he also has an admirer since one of the female lions kept close to him.

I introduced the guys and Ethan to the pack and spent the rest of the day playing with them before we headed home. As we got home, we just slowly slipped into silence. The town itself was like a ghost town since Victor had past away. After I got home, Kai invited Ethan and I out for some lunch so we took the offer. We sat in a dinner with Ethan next to me and Kai across from me in his shades. Him and Ethan were chatting away and I slipped into my own thoughts.

I became enraged thinking about how the guy who had killed Victor just got away with some injuries.

How could this asshole just get away so easily? This guys deserves a bullet to the head for killing Victor. Not only that but for putting everyone of us in danger but right now, I would give up my powers just to have Victor back. This guy, whoever he is, he's going to suffer for what he did and if I have to hunt him down and when I do find him, he's going to wish Victor's bullet went through his head.

My milkshake glass shattered in my hand causing me to snap out of my thoughts.

"Are you okay?" Kai quickly asked as he spread napkins on the table to stop my drink from running across the table. I nodded my head with a smile as I released the glass, "Perfectly fine," I lied. 

He knew I was lying but knew I didn't want to talk about it thankfully or i would of either started screaming out of anger or just start crying again.

Perfectly fine, was the only thing I could repeat to keep my sanity. 

The End
