I stayed quite when Hunter and Caleb came back, still in shock. I don't know what to do? Should I leave Hunter? I can't risk my brother's life just like that. I glance at Hunter who was sitting on the couch in the room. On the other side of couch was Caleb, they both just started to be civil and now Langstone has to come and ruin everything.
Feeling my gaze on him, Hunter looked up at me. He smiled at me a little but I couldn't return the smile.
"Hunter...!" I called him and paused when I thought how my next words will hurt him.
"You can leave, I will stay here" I told him and he frowned.
"I am not leaving you alone" he said.
"I am with my brothers, not alone" I said a little hardly.
"Alara?" He asked and I know what he is asking.
"Hunter just leave, I don't want you here right now" I said not completing the sentence. I don't want Langstone hurting my brothers anymore. I have to do something, if I can't just leave him now but I know I have to. My eyes teared up at the thought of going away from him.
"No!" He said firmly while crossing his arms infront of him.
"Hunter! Leave" I said angrily.
"Why are you ...?" He scowled and looked bothered.
"Please leave!" I said looking down in my lap.
"Please" please don't make me say it right now. Please!
"Okay" he said and then he left. I breathed out and looked up when I felt Caleb's gaze on me.
"Come here!" He said when he saw my gloomy mood. I know he knows something is wrong, he always know it. I walked towards his extended arms and sat beside him on the couch as I placed my head on his shoulder while I cried silently. He gently caressed my head which lulled me to sleep.

"Why is she here?"I heard a voice in my sleep.
"Why did you tell her? Don't you know how she gets when she saw any of us hurt!" Noah hissed and I stirred in my sleep as I open my eyes. I was lying on the couch with a blanket on me. I looked up to see Noah lying on the hospital bed with Caleb standing on his other side.
"Noah!" I gasped out when I saw him awake and happy tears came in my eyes. He still looked pale but his eyes are open, that's what matters. Both of them looked at me. I ran towards Noah and clutched him hard. In my haste I didn't realize I am half lying on him and that he is injured. He groaned but still placed his free hand that wasn't connected to IV around me.
"I am sorry... I am so happy that you are awake. I thought I will loose you... thank God you are fine" I said as I sat up and moved a little awake trying not hurt him. He smiled at me.
"I am fine, look at me" he said as he wiped my tears.
"Come on, they have to change his dressing. Let's have some breakfast, I was waiting for you to wake up" Caleb said.
"But Noah..." I started but was cut off by both of their glares.
"Go!" Noah said and I pouted but stood nevertheless.
As we walked out and walked through the hallway my gaze fell on someone and I groaned.
"What is wrong with him?" I mumbled out, Caleb also looked his way. He was sitting on a chair with his head leaned back and eyes closed.
"You didn't leave?" I said and he opened his eyes. He wasn't sleeping, his shirt was crumpled, he stayed here throughout the night. My eyes swelled up at the thought.
"I couldn't!" He said and I almost want to hug him and tell him all about Langstone and his warning but I am afraid of what Langstone will do.
"Hunter Go back!" I sighed as I looked away not meeting his confused gaze. He stood infront of me and moved my head towards him as his eyes gaze over my face.
"What's wrong, princess?" He asked gently and I stopped myself from crying.
"Hunter... I am sorry!" I said and he tensed.
"What are you talking about?" He said.
"I can't do this anymore" I said and his hand fell down on his side as he looked at me with mixed emotion.
"Why?" He asked after he compose himself.
"We are not good together, we should part. I am sorry but I don't want to see you again. I want to stay with my family, you will never be a part of my family. I was wrong to choose you, I should have chosen them" I said and I saw hurt flash in his eyes.
"Look in my eyes and tell me that you don't love me anymore and I will leave" he said and I hesitated a little but then flashes of what would happen to my brothers came and I looked up in my eyes.
"I don't love you," I told him firmly while my both hands were clenched tightly, my nails were scratching my skin but that pain was nothing compared to the pain in my heart. He staggered back a little at my words and then without another word he left, he left me!
