Chapter 4 Hybrids

*** Trigger Warning! Abuse and rape in this chapter ***

Reid's POV

I can hardly sit still, I was practically bouncing in my seat with excitement as we approached Ace's pack house. I hope he's down there. I can already taste revenge.

I see Ace walking out of the house as he walks up to me with a smile. 

"I'm glad to see you were able to make it," Ace said, reaching his hand out to shake my hand. 

"I wouldn't miss it for the world!" I said with a big smile on my face.

"Ready for that revenge?" He said with a smirk.

"Hells yes I am!" I said returning the same evil smirk.

"You know, I was thinking, if it turns out your hybrid is not here, I'll let you have a little fun with one of them if you want to?"

"Really?" I asked, surprised. Feeling the excitement, and anticipation building inside me at the thought. 

"Wow man, thanks!" I said, knowing these disgusting hybrids are nothing but killers.

Ace laughs while patting me on the back. 

"Come on man, follow me. I'll show you where the fun is at." He said, and I followed Ace with Damien right behind me.

We approach a small building that looks no bigger than a tool shed. It's made of old red bricks all the way around, with a single door in the front.

I give Damien a confused look and he shrugs his shoulders.

I watched Ace unlock the door before entering, and I followed him in. As soon as I walk through the door I see steps leading down quite a ways. 'This makes more sense.' I thought to myself

The closer we get to the bottom, the stronger the stench gets.

"Holy shit it stinks in here!" Damien said as he covered his face with his hand.

"Oh, this is nothing!" Ace said as he looked over his shoulder at us. 

"Wait until you get on the other side of this door. Hope you guys don't have a weak stomach." I look back at Damien slightly concerned.

I see the door at the end of the steps and the excitement builds up in me again. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these fuckers! I thought as Ace reached the door.

"All right guys, try not to throw up!" Ace said as he opened the door. 

As soon as I walk through the door I'm hit with the most disgusting, vile stench I've ever smelled in my entire life. I almost lost everything in my stomach right then. Unfortunately for Damien, he did. Thank goodness there was a garbage can right at the door as you walked in. He heaved everything up instantly.

"Fuck, that smells aw-" he tried to say before throwing up again.

"Goddess, what the hell is down here?" I asked, trying to keep my stomach down as I covered my nose.

"Hybrids!" Ace says with an evil smile on his face.

I look around and see a long aisle with cells on each side. All the cells have metal bars which I can tell right away are made of silver, and I wouldn't doubt if he has wolfsbane on them as well.

"So, do you know what this hybrid looks like?" he asked.

" I do," I said.

"They showed me a picture they got from the surveillance camera. I'll never forget that fucker's face! I'll know him if I see him." I said as we started walking. 

The further I walked, the stronger the stench was. It's awful, you could almost taste it, and there's no way around it.

I stop in front of the first cell and look in. I'm immediately shocked at what I see. I keep slowly walking, looking into each cell and my stomach turns at what I see. Every single person and each of these cells is completely naked. They look like they haven't been fed in a very, very long time. Skin and bones, I've never seen anyone so skinny in my entire life. You can see every single bone protruding from their bodies. This is definitely the definition of skin and bones! Most of them are laying on the ground. Either unconscious or have a faraway look in their eyes, almost as if they are not there. 

The ones that aren't on the ground, are hanging from chains against the back wall. Not only are these hybrids' skin and bones, but they're also covered from head to toe and scabs, bruises, cuts, and blood. Every single one looks like they've been severely beaten. Some of them look like they've been put through a fucking grinder.

There's nothing inside these cells for the hybrids. No bed, no toilet, not even a fucking bucket to shit in! The cells are filled with human waste. 

I hear a sound as we slowly walk down the aisle. I hear a grunting sound. As we approached the cell, I looked in, to see one of the guards going to town on a hybrid. He's fucking the shit out of this poor soul. The hybrid isn't even making a sound. He's just hanging from the wall, taking it while the guard violently pounds into him.

I stare into the cell horrified... Things are becoming quite clear, this isn't what I thought it was.

"Dude, this shit ain't right! We need to get the fuck out of here! I know you want revenge, but this,… this is not revenge, this is not.. this is fucked up! This is wrong in so many ways!" Damien says through the link.

"I know man. I can hardly breathe, and it's not because of the stench. I can't believe he's doing this to these people. I… I don't even know what to say." I said, unsure of how to respond, or even how to wrap my head around what is going on.

"We need to get the fuck out of here now!" Damien said.

"I know, but we can't just leave. Just give me a minute, I'll think of something." I said, trying to think of an excuse to get the hell out of here so we don't raise any flags.

We finally make it to the end and I look into the last cell on the right. I feel my wolf push forward, trying to look into the cell, which I thought was strange. I step closer, looking in.

What I saw made my blood run cold. My stomach turns violently, and it takes everything in me not to throw up.

I see a naked hybrid laying near the back right corner. He's curled up in a ball. His skin is so pale, so filthy. I can't tell what color his hair is because it's so dirty with both dirt and human waste. His body is so badly beaten and bloody. Bruises, scabs, and open wounds littered his body. I can make out every bone under his skin. It looks like they were trying to starve him to death. Either that or cause him to die from his wounds.

"Mate!"  My wolf says quietly in my head, before whimpering and receding to the back of my head. 

I slowly back away from the cell shaking my head. 

"No,... No!... This...This can't be!" 

I said as I continued to back away, bumping into Damien.

"Is this the one?" 

I hear Ace ask, and my head snaps in his direction. I look at him with wide eyes. 

"No!"

"Wanna have a little fun with him?" Ace asked, wiggling his eyebrows, and I felt my stomach churn again.

I back away, slowly walking backward. 

"No, this can't be!... This isn't how it's supposed to be! This isn't... No!" I said before turning around and racing down the aisle. I rushed to the door, and raced up the stairs as fast as I could, flying through the door at the top of the stairs before crumpling to the ground. I fall to the ground, on my hands and knees, and throw up. I heave and heave for what feels like forever. 

I stayed on my hands and knees, my chest rapidly rising and falling as I tried to catch my breath. I feel Damien touch my back and I jerk away.

I look at the door to see Ace walking out, shutting and then locking it.

"Ah, you too huh," Ace said with a slightly sympathetic look, seeing that I just threw up.

"I, I have to... I have to go!" I said as I pry myself off the ground.

Aaaâ

"I'm sorry, I have to go," I said again before turning and walking as fast as I could toward the car.

I quickly climb into the passenger side and Damien gets in right after me. Neither of us said a word as we drove away. I tried not to think about what I was leaving behind as we left Ace's territory. I tried not to think about everything I just saw, and what I felt when I looked into that last cell. 

The more I tried not to think about it, the more I did.

After driving for a little while, Damien finally breaks the silence.

"Are you going to tell me what that was about?"
