Chapter 34 Even as they spent the next few days making plans ready to return to the pack the sense of unease withing Naomi continued to grow. She couldn't put her finger on it. She asked herself was it seeing anyone specific or knowing that people would be staring and talking about her? The answer was no. The unease felt deeper than that like her subconscious was trying to send her a warming. The night before they left it came to the front of her consciousness. One minute she was in Alex's bedroom helping him decide which toys would come in his backpack for the plane ride and laughing at how tough the decision was for him then the scene in front of her had completely shifted and she was stood outside her old house, the one she had grown up in. She was at Half Moon pack but it wasn't its normal calm everyday self, people were running and screaming. Amoke was rising from the direction of the pack house and Naomi realised that's where people were running from. She ran towards the smoke to see what was happening. When she reached the pack house most of the building was on fire and stood in front of it was four women. Naomi didn't recognise three of them but the fourth, was distinctly Lilian. She looked thinner and her hair was duller and longer since Naomi saw her last but that woman's image was burned in her mind. They were laughing and cheering leading Naomi to believe this was their handy work. That's when fear gripped her. She saw two people emerging from the flames and the smoke, one walking the other being half dragged by the other person. Both struggling to breath, their clothes burnt away in places and the distinct smell of burnt flesh rolling off them. Naomis breath stuck in her throat and her heart stopped for a moment as she realised the walking wounded was her brother, Rhys and the unconscious man he was dragging was Theon. What truly made her blood run cold was what she heard Rhys say to one of the guards stood outside. "We need to go back in" he said gasping for enough air to speak. "I couldn't find Alex." And with that he collapsed on the floor next the Theon. It took a few moments before Naomi realised the sound she could hear was screaming and a few seconds more to realise it was her own screams. As she became aware of strong arms holding her and Theon whispering in her ear "It's okay baby. I got you" she realised she was back from the horrific vision and still in Alex's room but now she was laid on the floor and Theon was cradling her in his arms, kissing her forehead. Taking steadying breaths she allowed the soothing effect of the bond to calm her back down. Theon helped her back up. "what was that?" he asked, his voice deep with concern. "A vision" she replied in a shaky voice "A really terrifying one" Naomi looked around the room "Where is Alex?" "As soon as I heard you hit the floor I came in and sent him to watch cartoons" Theon Chapter 34 +15 Bonus answered. Naomi appreciated his sensible parenting. "You terrified me Nai. Please never do that again!" "Personally, I would love not to" she replied in a steadier voice "But the goddess seems to enjoy doing it to me" "What did you see?" Theon asked Part of Naomi wanted to lie and say she had seen nothing and ignore it and stay where she was but, she also knew the visions didn't work like that. They were to show her destiny so she could manipulate a better outcome. Even if the witches didn't burn down the pack house with Alex inside, they would still burn it down and now Naomi was the only person who knew what they looked like. Naomi recounted the vision to Theon. He tried to not show his deep concern but failed. "What can we do?" He asked with her normal casualness in the face of a challenge. "We go on a
