Sitting on the edge of the bed I watched them from across the room as they tried to crack the code to Binns laptop. The inside man... I mean— the inside woman and I tied him up and gagged him, which bought us enough time to make it out of the city and back to the bunker. Al on the other hand wasn't too please about it, about her revealing herself to her superior as the mold in the department. I don't know what he thought would happen, he did send her to help me get out of a situation I don't think I could have gotten out of my self, but what made him truly upset is that he no longer had eyes or ears in the city and this made him paranoid, as he should...
"They will be looking all over for you Amber," he spoke lowly,
"Well let them. I am done hiding who I am, pretending to be one of them... So let it go," she hissed back,
Throughout our journey back, Amber and I spoke briefly, just like Al, she has refused to
I went from walking next to Al, and Amber to falling far behind, dragging my blood-splattered body along the road following two strangers on a journey to I don't know where and I am too tired to give a damn. Because I have to be honest with myself and the truth is... I would give anything to live and not go back inside of a coffin. And I feel bad somehow because a part of me knows I am using them for protection from W.I.K.D... The police, rogue werewolves... My self. I don't know them— Amber and Al, and clearly, they didn't know me either.They kept mumbling to each other, stealing glances at me as they chat. I wonder what they were talking about, I know it's about me, but the conversation looked pretty intense, perhaps a little eavesdropping would hurt anyone,"Did you know about this Al...""How would I Amber? Don't you see how shocked I am,""You are right," Amber breath out,
"What did you do to him?" Amber flared up, listening to the steady heartbeat in Al's chest"Me?" I stared at her, in shock, how dare she blame me,"You were the one who took a healthy bite out of my arm because it was you who said, this— my blood could save him,""Yes, I did. That's before I knew I know he would be resurrected from the dead!" She threw her arm up in frustration,I didn't feel like shouting, honestly, I just wanted to know if Al was going to be ok,"What's happening to him?" I whispered,"I don't magic blood," she taunted, rolling her eyes, "He is doing fine until you popped out of nowhere, bringing your drama and baggage back into our lives. In fact... How did it happen? How did Al get shot? Huh?"I blinked a few times, knowing it my fault, and if I tell her this, she would shout at me more. But I have this feeling
"Well don't expect a medal," Amber hissed, "You were the one who got him in this situation in the first place,"That's it, I thought, enough is enough."What exactly is your problem huh? Do you think you're better than me? Because you know who you are? Well, heads up... I might not know who I am but I know this, I am not a bully and arrogant little bitch who go searching for others to blame. Yes, I had a hand in Al's misfortune and I am sorry!" I let it all out, and before she could say anything, I stormed away, running into the forest. It was dark, I know it was dangerous, I could run into W.I.K.D or whatever dangers out there for me to face, but right I didn't care, I just needed to be away from Amber.Hugging a tree, I burst out in tears, pressing my forehead against the rugged bark. All I want to do is help, I thought, but things keep getting worse, Al might be blind to it but Amber sees right through my flaws. But w
"How— how are you awake, I don't understand—""The only thing that matters is that I am here now," Al mumbled, staring at Amber, "The past is the past and we have to move on,"Sitting in the middle of the table, I noticed his perfect abs, the night was coming to an end and the factory will soon be lit up with the scorching sun, but that's not what we have to worry about. Scratching the back of my neck, my cheeks reddened as I looked away from Al's naked torso,"W.I.K.D is closing in on us, they set camps at night, move fast during the day," I swallowed hard,"And how do you know this?" Amber inquired, she didn't even try to hide her bitter tone,I thought long and hard, realizing I didn't get her name and she did mention not to tell my friends about us ever meeting, I wish to honor that request, she did save my life, twice,"I— I was o
This was him, I thought. It kept playing over and over again in the back of my head— Valdomore. This was my chance to learn about him, maybe something could trigger my memories."You do not look so surprised... I guess my name was brought up in a conversation?""Doesn't ring a fucking bell," I snarled,"Careful wolf... I know you might not remember this, but I have a... The thing for beasts with potty mouths. And that's interesting because I heard a rumor about you and your— awakening, it stirring up trouble in the underworld, and the humans,""And what?" I stared down at him, "Should I feel special?""Oh, darling but you are special... You somehow survived your execution, and even though I tried getting rid of— it, you somehow got... the gift,"What did he mean he tried getting rid of it? And what was this 'it' he is referring to?&n
After gathering bags that Al hid in nearby bushes, I have been learning a lot. Little did I know we were in the Vampire world, it is a whole other domain where vampires live, how we got in and out? Al created some sort of portal, and that's how we escaped, but the sun bought us time... The same sun Al was shedding sweat in, and not burning as we thought he would,"We should rest for a while," Al spoke, "I don't know about you guys but I could use a swim," he chuckled,We have decided to keep off the roads and stick to the forest, we have a better chance of fighting the W.I.K.D agents, rogues, and the vampires. We stumbled across a small stream and Al was enjoying the new him, Amber didn't care though, in fact, she seemed different... Quiet, I guess Valdomore had his soldiers torture her, and I understand if that might have shaken her up a bit. Another piece of important information I have learned is that Al is a day lighter, ancient va
Griping firmly on my neck, I gasped for air as the vampire twice my size hoisted me off the ground, Al and Amber were too busy with fights of their own to see my struggle. Fisting him repeatedly in the ribs, he groaned in pain staggering back as I fell to the ground,"You are clearly outnumbered hybrid... Give up now and our Lord might spare mercy on you,""And you are clearly outmatched," Amber bit off his head from behind, spitting it out with a face of disgust as she dragged her tongue across the grass,"Vampire blood is just bland and tasteless," she shifted into her human form, gagging.The remaining three vampires disappeared into a black mist, one looking directly in my eyes before vanishing, he hated me... They all did, Vampires, W.I.K.D, rogues wolves... They all hated me for reasons I don't know why,"Hey," Al jogged over to us, "You guys ok?""Yeah
I was upset, the kind that makes you run very long distances, losing track of time and all, it is now 6:00 AM and I trying to find Al and Amber, I allowed my emotions to get the best of me left them alone, Amber was drunk and vulnerable and Al was getting better but he was still weak, and again I have managed to disappoint them and myself. Finally, I found where we camp for the night, the sun already burned out the corpse of the vampire to dust, but their remains were still obvious, as for Al and Amber I saw no signs of them, their bags were gone, I couldn't track them, it's been days since I have gotten human blood and my scents were fading.Stooping down where the campfire was lit, I swirled my finger in the damped ash, gliding it between my finger before I smelled it,"Humans," I hissed, what put out the fire was urine... Human urine, most likely from W.I.K.D,Hearing the clicks behind my head, I snarled, realizing wh
Staring at everyone, Alrick's eyes glistened with tears... Tears of joy, maybe, I finally remembered. But he knew what it meant for him, he was the one who told his mother about our plan, knowing that her loyalty lies with Valdomore, he knew the risk and still, he took dem, for what? A goodbye? He didn't drink from my human or cheated on me, his selfishness caused my death and I don't know if can forgive him,"How did you know I wasn't dead?" I stared him right in the eyes, all this time he kept repeating his undying love for me, but was it out of guilt?"My mother... She— she told me a witch came to her in slumber, telling her that you weren't dead. So she helped us escape, to look for you,"Saying nothing I looked away from him, turning my back to them fully,
FlashbackI begged over and over again, trying to convince these people that I was no wolf but a scientist, but they didn't care what I have to say. Men came in daily tortured me, shouting that I should I shift, but shift to what? After a few weeks, closer to a month they electrocuted me, under a full moon. And that's when it happened, I shifted. My body ached all over and I begged for it to stop, but I didn't. White fur traveled up my arms and legs until it took over my body, I was no longer I girl with dark hair and brown, I was a big dog, with fur and red eyes. Everything that went blank, I woke the next day naked, the men who tortured me for weeks bodies surrounded me, well, what was left of them. The beast I turned into that night shred them to pieces and I have no memory of it. I remember being angry, the type of anger I remember having as a child... A teenager, but never acted out on it, I suppressed that anger for a long time until I cou
FlashbackStaring down at the silver watch I smiled down at the gift, it fitted loose around my wrist but it still was serving its purpose. Glaring at the elevator buttons have they flashed, sighing thinking about how late it is and I am just leaving work. Not like I have nothing rushing home to anyway, It was another long day of trying to befriend Betsy, a blank partner fresh from the wild, she had been here for weeks and I cannot tame the thing, but can I blame her, poor girl was taken from her home and place among strangers, forcing her to adapt... like me. I don't know my parents, I spent all of my life in foster care, and according to the nurses, I appeared on their steps out of nowhere, with a tiny piece of paper pinned to my clothing,'Her name is Veronica Hall, Keep her safe,'Many came and tried to adopt me but each time a new couple showed interest, they would just d
"What— what do you mean... My pack, I— I can't go back into another portal...""Listen..." Amber cut me off, "We don't have time to explain, we have to jump in right now... We have fought enough for the last few days... We need a safe place right now,"Saying nothing I nodded my in understanding, they need to understand that all of this is still new to me and I need time... A lot of time,"You ready?" Al murmured to me,"Yeah, I— am ready,"Taking my hand, Amber squeezed it firmly, her grip was filled with so much fear and worry. Where ever we are about to go, Amber was scared... And that terrified me because Amber is the bravest person I know."Ready?" She looked over at me, her glossy eyes filled with excitement, the fake smile she t
