The Luna Choosing Game by Jane Above Story

Chapter 0640

Nicholas was here. I didn't know how. I didn't know why. But he was here, and that gave me the strength I needed to act.

I ripped my arm away from Joyce's hold and rushed into the room where Hawk was choking my sister on the ground. Using all of my strength, I plowed into Hawk.

My surprise more than my strength likely overwhelmed him, because he released her and rolled away, knocking his head into the wall. That disoriented him for a few minutes. He grabbed at his head as he struggled to pull himself up to his knees.

"Jane!" I called and rushed to her.

Clutching at her neck, she gasped for air. When she saw that I had been the one to save her, her eyes went wide." What the hell are you doing?"

"Can you see now? These people are not your friends. He doesn't care about you. He doesn't want to help you." I spoke quickly, knowing I was short on time.

I grabbed Jane's hands and helped her stand. We had to get out of here right now. Hawk could collect himself at any moment.

"Piper!" Joyce called from the doorway. He was looking nervously down the hall, then up at the ceiling as the building continued to shake around us. More dust filled the air.

*Jane, please." I continued to hold her hands, even as she tried to tear them away. "Just come with me. We can figure this all out. Despite everything that happened, you are still my sister. And we're both... princesses? Doesn't that give us both a bright future?"

Jane's face twisted in disgust. "They were going to throw me away anyway, because I didn't have a wolf or a bear. They considered me freak, Piper. I will never have a place there, not as I am."

"We can work it out," I pleaded. "If you stay here, they'll use your or kill you or both. Jane, please."

"You've never cared what happens to me," Jane sneered. She ripped her hands free from mine. "Don't pretend to care about me now!*

"I've always cared about you!" I shouted back. "How could you never see that? Everything I ever did was to protect you! I want my sister back."

*Your sister is gone!" Jane said.

*Then I just want you! However you are! Whoever you consider yourself to be! You are my flesh and blood, and we will work through all of this together. As it should be! You know I'd never leave you behind!"

"Do I know that?!"
