Claire's POV
"You want me to what!” Trina exclaims loudly into my ears.
"Come on T.” I urge on and she stops pacing around to look at me with those her 'are you crazy eyes.’
"Are you crazy!”
Totally saw that coming.
"You want me to help you break into one of the most warded and guarded place on mother earth , just to try and rescue a guy who tried to kidnap you?”
I get up from my sitting position and stand straight. I run my hand through my hair and take in a deep breath.
"He's not just any guy Trina…. I think he's my brother."

2 weeks earlier.
It starts with a dream.
A weird bizarre dream that wakes you up in the middle of the night and has you breaking down in cold sweat.
I quickly rush to the bathroom and lock myself inside.
I take in a deep breath, probably the longest then give my reflection a hard stare in the mirror.
I walk over to the sink, set the tap running then splash some cold water on my face.
"This is really unusual.” I whisper to myself.
Usually I wake up panicking from nightmares about the evil me escaping and hurting the people I love.
But this dream is so different, even feels different.
It's more like a calling…..An Unfinished Business.

My phone beeps as the screen displays.
'Calling Chris.'
I bite on my nails a bit nervously as I stare outside.
I don't know when I zoom out but the voice of my brother brings me back to earth.
"Hello?" I quickly pick up the phone then turn off loud speaker.
"Look who decided to call after six months.” I can imagine him having this stupid smile on his face.
I smile a bit then proceed.
"Hey Chris. How's everyone? Kate and the baby?"
"They're doing great sis. Is everything okay? You sound a bit on edge.”
S**t
I clear my throat to sound more like myself.
"Sorry. I kinda lost my voice.” I lie hoping he'll let it go.
Suddenly he laughs into the phone and I assume he has formulated his own explanation.
"Okay sis. Sorry I asked.” I roll my eyes.
Werewolves.
"So why are you calling. I know it's not just to ask about everyone's health.” I chuckle.
"Yeah. I was just wondering if I could get some info."
"Okay.”
I take in a deep breath then continue.
"Do you remember that rogue who caused a lot of chaos just to try and kidnap me?”
"Yeah I remember.”
That was fast. But then again he kidnapped his mate. I guess that's not something to forget.
"Why are you asking about him Claire?"
I clear my throat again.
"What happened to him after?”
His end goes silent and if not for the fact that I can hear him breathing I would think he has ended the call.
"Well we handed him over to the council. They deal with rogues. "
I swallow a bit.
The werewolf council.
Controlled by werewolves who are as old as time itself.
"What was his punishment?" I try to keep my cool.
"Imprisonment….well that is until they found something really dirty on him."
"What did they find?”
"I don't know, they didn't want to tell me that part....but Liam said he remembers the other rogues called him prince, maybe it has something to do with that.” I nod remembering myself.
But why did they even call him that? They were all rogues and rogues are known to be lone wolves, so there's no way he's somehow their leader or something. Rogues only come together when they have a common goal and after that they disperse.
Probably it's his name. It has to be.
"His punishment has been changed to death….by beheading." Chris continues and my breath gets caught in my throat.
"Claire, why are you asking all these stuff?"
I take in a deep breath.
"It's nothing important. How do you know all this?”
"I was the one who turned him in so if anything I should at least be notified.” I nod.
"Please don't tell anyone we talked about this.” I request.
"What? Why?” He asks sounding a bit worried but I ignored the question.
"Just promise me.” I plead.
"Okay.” He replies and I sigh relieved.
"Where do they keep them?"
"Keep who?"
"The rogues.”
"Claire what are you up to.” I guess this is it for him.
"Thanks Chris. Extend my greetings to the others. Bye.” I quickly end the call then switch off my phone.
I hope I don't get into trouble for doing this.

3 days later.
Back in Blueville.
In town; Water lily Avenue.
I arrive in front of the familiar house in the familiar neighborhood.
It feels like ages since I was last here.
I switch off the engine then take in a deep breath whilst staring at the house through the wind screen.
Using my werewolf senses I try to decipher how many people are home.
Two hearts beats, two voices.
I sigh then push my hair behind my ears before finally getting out of the car.
I lock the car then start walking towards the house.
When I approach is when I hear the voices louder than before.
My breath gets caught in my throat when I reach the door and raise my hand to ring the bell.
What in heaven am I doing?
What if she doesn't remember me?
What if I'm wrong and she thinks of me as crazy?
"Well you'll never see her again either way so I think you should give it a try.” Mia suggests and I let out a deep breath.
She's in support of what I'm doing. We both want answers especially after this dream kept on repeating itself day after day. I don't think it'll go away until I find out what and why? Even though it's comforting than my nightmares I'm kinda curious with this dream.
I finally ring the bell then move back a bit to wait.
"Blair, someone's at the door.” The mother calls out.
"Okay.” Replies a little teenage voice before I hear the door unlock.
I'm not sure I'm ready for this but the door opens and I have to plaster a smile on my face and say….
"Hi.” I smile wide at the miniature clone of me.
Or as Ethan will call her.
Mini Claire.
