Jerry pov ::

"Jerry, wake up baby!"

"Mommy, what's wrong?"

"Rogues, we're under attack. I need you to take Kerra to the safe room and don't come out until it's safe Jerry ".

"Ok Mommy, I won't promise!"

"Good girl, now run and don't stop, protect Kerra. I love you Jerry ."

" I love you too Mommy ".

I take the sleeping Kerra from my mom's arms and run out of my bedroom, down the hallway, down the stairs, through the living room, and finally reach the kitchen. I pop open the door as the growls and pain-filled howls start to get louder, and I'm just grateful that Kerra is sleeping through all of this.

Finally, we reach the safe room. I lock the door once we're inside and lay Kerra on the mattress on the floor. This room has everything we need, there are two mattresses on the floor with blankets and pillows, torches within reach just in case the power goes out, or we need to keep the main light off, and a cupboard with drinks and food that doesn't need to be cooked.

There's a small bathroom adjusted to this room, it literally only has a toilet and there but that's all we need, there are two windows high up on the wall, the glass is fogged so no one can see in or out, but the light shines through so you can tell if it's day or night.

I've been stuck in this room during attacks before, and I can tell you that being able to tell if it's day or night helps a lot especially when you don't have a clue what time it is. The room is soundproof, the door is made of steel making it harder to break through, not that anyone has tried before thank goddess. I lay down on the mattress and cuddle into Kerra. I'm sure we'll be fine, we're not a big pack, there are only 250 members, but we have some very strong worriers and have done well when under attack before. I can't fight because I don't have my wolf yet, I'll get my wolf when I'm 18 but right now I'm only 13.

Kerra is 3 months old, she's my niece, my brother Justin's daughter. He and his mate Harpy are worriers, so after she was born it was agreed that if there was even an attack, I would take her safe room while they fight. My dad Crist is the top worrier here at moonshine and my mother Mery isn't a worrier, she is one hell of a fighter. She used to be a worrier but quit, choosing to work in the nursery instead. Justin is the 2nd top male worrier and Harpy is the 10th top female worrier.

My older sister Anna was the 2nd top female worrier here which is a great achievement at 18 years old, but she met her mate 3 weeks ago at the annual blue moon ball and moved to his pack 6 hours away to be with him. Celen is the Alpha of the calw moon pack, he's 20 and seems like an excellent Alpha and mate to my sister. I have not met him yet or anyone in the pack as I can't attend the ball until I'm 18,, but we are going there in one week for the Luna ceremony.

The woman, children and elderly usually go to the safe room at the pack house, but my dad insisted we have one in our basement, so he and Justin built one 5 years ago. It's great because we don't need to go outside when there's a sudden attack, , but it's not that's great when I'm here on my own. Of course, I have Kerra, but she's just a baby. It can get lonely and scary down here on my own, but I always remind myself that my family are out there fighting to keep us safe. The last thing I can do is to wait.

My mind has been running so much that, now it's giving me pain and I know Kerra will be up in a couple of hours. So I decided to sleep for some time. I snuggle in Kerra some more and finally sleep. When I wake up and suddenly remember where I am, I jump up and start and see where I'm still in the room. When I sleep I hope when I wake up I see my mom and dad. Kerra started to wake, so I changed her diaper and started to feed her. I'm good at looking after Kerra, I can do everything she needs or wants, which is a good thing considering I'm all she has right now. Plus Harpy says I'm a natural which I love because I can't wait to have my own kids one day when I get my mate. I can find my mate once I turn 18, but I just hope I don't have to wait too long.

As soon as Kerra drinks and burped I take her to the bathroom, wash her down with a wash clothes, and get her dressed. I may only be 13, but my family are warriors and Justin works me hard in training so much that when we have practice fighting, I have to fight with older kids because no one of my age keeps up with me.

I don't know what time it is, but I know it's been hours, and I've started getting a sinking feeling in my stomach, I've never been in this room this long before. I don't want to think about it,, but I know deep down in my heart I know this attack hasn't gone our way. I know my family and pack are dead because if anyone had survived, they would have come for us.

I let myself have a few minutes to panic about how it's just me and Kerra now, how I'm 13 and how to look after a baby, how do I do this ? How do I live without my family ? I want to break down, I want to smash this room, but I can't, I have to be strong for Kerra. There is a small part of me that wants to believe they are ok, what if they're alive? I have to see for myself if there are any survivors. I grab the backpack in the corner which has supplies for us. It's kept here just in case the worst happens and I need to run with her and as much as I don't want to admit it. I grab the backpack and pick up Kerra and leave.

Here we go!

I slowly open the door, peaking out I can't see or hear anyone. I slowly make my way up the stairs into the kitchen and the sight before me doesn't give me any hope, the place has been purely damaged. I make my way through the house and every room is the same. Maybe the rougues were looking for anyone hidden. It would be hard for them to find the safe room because the outside door is covered in the same wallpaper as the kitchen. I head to my bedroom and pray they didn't find my emergency box, Justin and I both have them. That contains a bank card to my parents saving account, a few hundred dollars in cash, a new phone and photo album just in case there are no returns. I put everything in my bag and make my way to the front door.

I get out of the front door and I feel like I've walked into the set of a horror film. Everything is damaged, they're dead bodies literally everywhere, blood and even body parts spread out on the ground.

I feel sick! I'm so glad Kerra is sleeping, baby or not she should never see something like this, I take a deep breath and calm myself down then slowly move forward, as much as I want to run away from this right now, I have to be sure, I have to know if my family is dead.

Making my way around the bodies I want to break down, all these people are just gone, the people I know, the people I was taking with just yesterday. Why did this happen? After a few more steps I found my brother and his mate next to each other..... They're both dead...... their throats have been torn out, My heart bleeds for Kerra. She just lost her parents and me.....

I'm almost to the pack house when I see my beautiful mom, her heart torn out and as much as I try, I can't stop my tears from failing, I tell her I love her, kiss her on the head and go to look for my dad the only one left I can hope is still alive.

I finally found him with the Beta and Alpha.... He's dead, his throat has been torn apart, and his legs have been bitten off. It's all too much. I can't breathe, I crumble to the floor and quality sob..... My heart out while cuddling Kerra. It takes me some time to finally calm myself, I look around to see if anyone is coming but no one is then I remember something....... The safe room in the pack house, the woman, children, and elderly will still be there. I take both my parents wedding rings and place them on my necklace.

My mom made me, Justin and Anna promise a long time ago that if something happened to both of them and any of us was able to, we were to take them and keep them with us and I will keep that promise. Harpy and Justin weren't married yet but were engaged, so I took the Harpy engagement ring and also placed it on my necklace, I will keep it safe until Kerra is old enough to take it. I can't bear to see my family in pieces anymore, so I say my final goodbye and start walking away, and they wouldn't want that either.

I make my to the pack house on high alert. I still don't know if any rougues were hanging around. I make it inside the house, and it's all clean so far thank moon goddess. This place has been damaged too, everything is ruined and more dead bodies on the floor.

Arriving in the kitchen I head straight for the pantry the door to the safe room is inside thare, my legs can't move quick enough, I don't want to be alone anymore. The people in there may not be my family by blood but they are still family. I open the door and make my way down the stairs and I can't believe what my eyes are seeing.............
