You’re My Sunshine

The beautiful night with the moon and the hundreds of stars suddenly became dark and dreary. Inside the walk-in cold room, Priscilla's corpse, which was placed at the corner, was fully preserved. Fear and pain were frozen on her face, where her timeless beauty could no longer be seen. Sebastian crouched down beside his mother, not bothered from the biting cold. He noticed marks on her neck that looked like a vampire bite. He grazed her cold face, and wrapped her cold body with his warm embrace as he whisper three words he tell her every single day, "You're my sunshine.. always".

Priscilla's unconditional love for the family is truly remarkable. And like any other mother, she only wishes happiness and contentment among her children - by blood or not. She could effortlessly light up a room like a rainbow, without anyone feeling left out. Now that she's dead, the glue that keeps the Devlins family together is gone too.

Gunner went closer and checked Priscilla's corpse. He squinted his eyes when he saw her hands. "Her nails.. something's in it.", he said while Sebastian took a good look on her hands. "It's fur", he said.

Sebastian tried to sniff and sense whose fur was caught embedded under Priscilla's nails. However, the smell of his mother's dead body is too strong, that it can't be determined whose fur was it. "An autopsy must be done to see a clear view of what caused her death", Sebastian said.

Sebastian looked around the cold room and noticed bags of chemicals in store. He took one at a time and angrily trampled each one of them with his feet. He went out of the cold room and found bags of blood that seemed to have belonged to Diana. Picking up one by one, he grunted heavily as he threw every single blood bag and blood collecting pharaphernalia his eyes could find. Gunner could only watch Sebastian release his pain from the loss of a dearest loved one.

Exhausted and muffling his breath, Sebastian knelt as he blink his tears away. Gunner then shouldered Sebastian who's trembling in sadness and anger. "Let it pass for now, you have bigger things to do", he said as he squeeze Sebastian's shoulder.

Sebastian took a deep breath as he stood back up. With one last look at Priscilla, Sebastian clenched his fists along with a promise to give justice to her death. Followed by Gunner, Sebastian dashed out of the lab, to the fields and down to the lake.

To their surprise, they saw a big riot between their clans' pack. The highlight of the battle was Scott fighting head to head with Roman, while the wolves of the Grayback clan circled them. Both Alphas showed no mercy, and none of them have plans of surrendering.

"Where were you??", Troy in his wolf form mindtalked Gunner as soon as he was spotted on the field.

"What happened?!", Gunner asked.

"Roman went out of control! Come on before our pack turn to rag dolls", Troy said before he ran out.

Gunner nodded to Sebastian and mouthed, "You okay?".

"I've got this", Sebastian said before he sprinted his way to the lake while Gunner tried to escalate the intense brawl of the two Alphas.

Away from the nasty wolf skirmish and loud noises, Sebastian hurriedly looked over the calm waters as he search for signs of Diana. He held his breath, squinting his eyes far and wide hoping it's not too late to save a friend. "Damn you, Damon", he whispered as he walk on the shallow warm waters disturbing the peace of the lakewater.

Drenched all over, he hopped in one of the boats and paddled away to search the lake. He heard the brawl have ceased, and saw that the wolves have dispersed on their separate ways. Gunner did a good job convincing Roman, Sebastian thought.

Then, not too far from the middle of the lake, Sebastian caught a glimpse of an empty kayak. No one's around. As he nears, he found a black bird hovering above the kayak. "I remember you", he said as the bird flew away.

He rowed nearer the abandoned kayak and wondered why it was anchored in this part of the lake. "Diana!! Diana!!! ", his resounding voice filled the air as he call for his dear friend.

Sebastian circled the boat and saw water bubbles nearby. Without further hesitations, he dived in. Following the bubbles, he stroke his arms gently and kicked his legs strongfully until he reached the bottom of the lake. He searched around and saw a body tied down on a rock. Sebastian swam closer and realized it was Diana dressed in white hooked on an oxygen tank.

He faced her and smiled as he touch her face. With her hands tied on her back, Diana wriggled as if panicking. Sebastian looked at her oxygen tank, with depleting oxygen pressure. He immediately untied her, however the ropes were knotted too much that it took him time to remove it. As soon as he was able to loosen the ropes, he pushed Diana up the surface as fast as he could. Then, Sebastian grunted as he push Diana up on the boat.

He checked on her and realized, she's unconscious.

Breathing heavily, Sebastian slapped her face gently as he call her name. Not sure what to do, he rowed back to the shore to ask for help. "Come on, Diana. Don't do this to me", he said as he rowed the paddles as hard as he could.

Reaching the shore in no time, Sebastian could only shout for help."Help!! I need some help here!", he shouted at Gunner who was waiting at the dock.

Getting the idea that Sebastian may have found Diana, Gunner reached for the boat and tied it on the dock for Sebastian's aid.

Sensing the familiar fragrance of a mate, Roman followed Gunner from slow steps until he ran as soon as he sees the body being carried from the boat.

Roman couldn't believe his eyes. However, he didn't expected to see his Luna in this condition. Her red lips turning blue, and her fair skin going pale.

"Roman, you've got to help her!", Sebastian said as they placed her down the wooden dock.

Roman hurriedly checked for signs of life, there was no pulse, nor heartbeat. Roman immediately performed chest compressions as he simultaenuously give rescue breaths through her cold mouth.

"Help her, Roman! Help her", Sebastian said as he scratch his hair. "Where's Scott?!", he asked. "Someone get Scott!!", he ordered as someone fetched Scott from the fields.

While Scott and his pack were being attended by Lily and Reina far down the field, he pushed Lily away and stood up as he feel indifference from the heart.

"What is it?", Lily asked.

"What's going on, Scott?", Lucas asked as he sees Scott gawking in the wind.

Scott gaped across the field and squinted his eyes notice a wolf coming. "Alpha Scott! The Luna drowned!", the wolf said.

Scott and the pack hurriedly ran down the lake. Lucas and Cory were the first ones to arrive on. the dock in excitement and worry for the Luna. They saw everyone swarming the dock as they hear Roman cursing and Sebastian hysterically calling for Diana's name.

Cory pushed the people out to make a clear view for Scott. There, they saw Diana being resuscitated by Roman through her mouth. Scott felt his body tremble as he clenched his fists. Lily held his arm as she watch Diana being revived. 'So this is the Luna', Lily thought.

After a few minutes, Diana opened her eyes and coughed all the water out from her nose and mouth. She laid to her side, struggling to breathe as she expel water from her chest.

"I thought I lost you", Roman said as he breathe heavily. He tapped her back as he asked Gunner to get Diana dry clothes to warm her up.

Sebastian crouched down and held her hand. He then helped her sit as she gasped for air. "You scared me", he chuckled softly as she bury her face on Sebastian's chest. Catching her breath, Diana took a glance at Scott, standing a few steps from her, with a woman holding his arm.
