Reuniting Tornedalians

"No they aren't." She picked up Peyton's phone and she showed her the messages. "You sold out dad' pack too."

"I- that wasn't me. I wouldn't." She stumbled over words, glancing to Koby; terrified.

Koby looked at her.

"Are you not going to say anything?" Faun demanded from her father.

"Faun, I already knew, your mother sleep walks, that's how we found the hideout." Koby told her. "We knew it wasn't her who was doing it."

Peyton sighed in relief when Koby defended her, turning her gaze back onto her daughter. "Your fathers pack is mine too, I love them all. You were staying at Harrison's, why would I give them his address when I know you'd get hurt?"

"I don't know but you did." She told her and she walked out of the den.

"Faun." She whined, going to follow her but pausing when she saw Layla walk after her.

"Hey," Layla whispered, jogging to catch up with her.

"Hey Layla."

"Let her go, it's alright."

"Where're you storming off to?"

---
Peyton shook her head, sitting on the edge of the bed and putting her head in her hands with a sob.

"I'm going to help my boyfriend." She told her, using the trees to stand as she got into the forest.

Koby sat next to her, pulling her onto his lap.

"Then I'm coming with you, just in case his pack try anything.. Ok?"

---
She curled into him, burying her face against his shoulder to muffle her sobs. Heartbroken.

"No I want you to stay." She told her. "The pack likes me, they know who I am and they respect that." She told her.

He held her tightly.

"If he is hurt then that might not matter. They might blame you and he wont be able to keep you safe from them if he is in a bad way. You need to think of your own safety here Faun."

"I trust the pack." She told her. "Just leave me alone."

"Stop being so horrible."

"You all knew what my mother was doing!" She suddenly shouted. "You all let her put me and Harrison in danger!"

"She wasn't doing anything, Faun. It was the witches, its all been that coven. We were finding ways to fix it."

"Well now my boyfriend and I both just nearly died!"

"Not because of her, and you can not blame her. Her and your father hasnt stopped worry about you for a second so you need to be nicer than both of them."

"You know what Layla just leave me alone, every time I've stood up for myself it's you and my mother who shot me down, telling me to do this and do that, well you know what this time you don't get it." She told her. "I can blame her because it's her fault, they wanted me to tell them how to destroy my own father, but I didn't, she didn't have to give up information about Harrison, but she did."

"You have lots of learning to do," Layla sighed.

She kept walking, heading for Harrison's apartment.

Noah was sat on the doorstep of rhe apartment, staring into space.

"Noah, where is he?" She asked as she found him.

"Livingroom, I- approach him on the left side, not the right." He warned quietly, shuffling slightly to the side.

"Then why are you out here?" She asked.
