Lizzy
The noise in here is particularly loud tonight, that's not to mention the noise in my head. Seemingly it's something called sundowners, meaning the crazy get even crazier at night.
My name is Lizzy Silver, I am seventeen, almost eighteen and currently in River Grove hospital for the mentally unwell, basically the looney bin, where all the crazy people get dumped and forgotten about.
How did I end up in this place? Growing up it was only my mother and I, my mother always told me my father was the only man she ever loved, that he loved me very much, but that was all she would ever say.
My mother was all I ever had, she was beautiful and kind. My mother was the only one who understood me, never feared me like others did. She would tell me ‘You are special, Lizzy, don't ever tell anyone about your gifts’ Back then I just assumed it was normal that everyone was like me; man was I wrong.
It was around my fifth birthday that it first happened. I heard the man who owned the post office pray, he was praying for his wife to get better, she had cancer. I told him I hoped she would get better, the poor guy nearly ended himself .
This was a story that continued to happen over the years, we were avoided by most people in the small town where we lived. Then it happened, the worst day of my life, I watched as my mother was murdered.
I was ten when things started to change, my mother was adamant someone was watching us, she became increasingly paranoid. It was so unlike her, she would tell me never tell anyone anything especially about my gifts.
My mother woke me in the middle of the night, placed a hand over my mouth and indicated for me to be silent as she hid me and told me never to come out no matter what i heard, and no matter what never to tell anyone anything, that i would know what to do when the time came.
That was almost eight years ago and after being sent from one foster care family to another, they eventually said I needed professional help. You see, I stopped talking. I felt as though every time I spoke they would move me. I scared them, but they were all so loud with their prayers in this bat shit crazy bible town.
I guess you have figured out I hear peoples prayers, and the punishment for this is, I have been put in this hell hole. You name a treatment I have had it all, electric shock, cold water treatment, solitary confinement. So I did what I had to and stopped talking, that was about seven years ago.
If i am honest i don't even know if i can still talk, there is no one here i would like to talk to. The screaming starts again, drawing me from my thoughts of my mother from my childhood. I play her last words over and over in my head as I have done since the day she was taken from me.
Flopping back down into the bed, looking up through the window the moon is high in the clear sky tonight, it’s almost as though it’s calling to me. The only plus side of when this place is going crazy like this is screaming crazy people tend not to pray much.
I have always had the feeling of someone watching me, even as long as I can remember the thought of them being there, it never scared me , no it was more comforting.
I am eighteen in a month's time, not that it matters, It’s not like I have anyone wanting to celebrate my existence. ‘Poor me, blah blah blah!’ I sat up heart racing, who was that? I have always heard them praying but that was like someone directly talking to me.
Silence, maybe i imagined it, laying back down i just watched the moon. My mother loved the moon, she always said she drew energy from it. I never even thought to ask what she meant. My mother was always so happy, I worry that i'll forget her.
'Oh, goddess, you're such a ball of fun’ I shot out my bed, spinning around. What is going on? Looking around my tiny room, under the bed, in the small cupboard. I am losing my fucking mind, I always thought it would happen some day, i think as the screaming starts to ease up.
‘Are you always so depressing?’ The voice says, and this time I know I am not losing my mind. ‘Who are you?’ I demand in my mind.
‘Who am I? Have you ever asked who you are?’ The snarky voice asks back, my eyes go wide. Who am I? Well I am Lizzy, nothing special about me. I hear the voice sniggering ‘Please, Lizzy you are special, seriously annoying but definitely special’
My heart is beating so fast, the blood is rushing to my ears making me feel dizzy, I sit on the edge of my bed. ‘What is going on?Who are you?’ I ask desperately .
‘I am Adira, your wolf spirit. Now we have some work to do’
Ares“You have got to be fucking kidding, nope no way it’s not happening” I say as I look at my mate as she stands looking sexy as hell while being defient. I look to Arrow for support, he just shrugs looking exhausted. “No, Lizzy. I don’t want you anywhere near that scum, look what he did to Astrid” I say as I pace the lounge to our suite. “I wasn’t asking, Ares. I am going and you just need to get on board with it or stay out my way” She shrieks at me while putting her hands on her hips and glaring at me. She is making me crazy. You wouldn’t think ten minutes ago we were having sex, now we stand naked arguing. Frustration rushes through me as Arrow lounges on the giant bed we all share. Arrow, at some point in our fight, had managed to put on a pair of sweatpants and make a coffee. I dragged my hand through my already messy hair. I drop into the sofa feeling deflated by the whole thing.Axel, my wolf is pacing, furious at the thought of our mate walking into a trap, it’s giving m
TopazThe younger one looks fit for death, she really is not well, I can feel how weak her heart rate is. What I can’t understand is why the older sister hasn’t topped her sister up with her magic, I mean it’s not a permanent solution but it would definitely help her feel better. “What is your name?” I ask, looking at the younger one. She looks to her sister who decides to answer for her and this pisses me off even more.“She is Anya and I am Fraya” I just look at her, before looking back to the other one. “Why is your magic so low?” I ask, and watch as she struggles to come up with something. “Do not lie to me, Anya I am gathering that you both know who I am” The one named Freya gives me a tight lipped nod, as the other nods ridiculously fast. “Ok, good so once again. Why is your magic so low and why haven’t you topped her up” I say as I look between them. “I held the barrier open to get the Alpha out” Anya says, looking shy. “My magic seems to be taking a while to come back” She
TopazI felt the moment that the witches had crossed the barrier, I mean dark souls are my thing. I can’t help but smile at this thought, after almost a thousand years on this throne I still love a good dark soul. I felt Chemosh enter my realm, he was easy to feel, his soul was dark but the part that belongs to Lizzy keeps him safe. That little tether to her keeps him from being fully dark and I hate to say this but I am kind of glad. He’s too good for this place, and me but I would never say this to him.He stomps into my office like a bear with a sore head, I just raise one of my perfect eyebrows at him. He frowns at me as he slumps into one of my seats before dragging a huge tattooed hand down his face.“Care to share, Chemmy?” I ask the drawn out looking man. “That girl, Astrid, she is in a bad way Topaz. Darnick, he looks lost” He sighs, then leans forward resting his elbows on his muscular thighs. He knows the mention of the boy will pluck my interest, the girl not so much she'
LizzyIt’s been two days since he escaped, two days and nothing. All Topaz kept saying is she knows how it happened and who is behind it. My mates have had the Pack on full lockdown since. My magic is pulsing through me wanting a release, since my wings arrived I feel like a ball of energy ready to explode. Rage, that's what I feel, my temper is short and my patience is even shorter. My Father and Topaz left yesterday saying they had leads to follow up, more like she wanted her reward.Ares comes out of the bathroom naked and my eyes roam over his perfect god-like body. Adari pushes forward practically salivating and for once I have to agree. I slide my legs open and watch as his eyes flash letting me know Axle is there, I smirk as he crawls onto the bed, dick already standing to attention.Fuck it, a little rage fucking wont do any harm. Grabbing my ankle he drags me to him, growling he rips off my silk shorts, just as Arrow comes in sniffing the air. His eyes flash as he prowls to
Alpha FindlayThat fucking Demon bitch is strong, she managed to break through the magic shield I had Venus put over me, without a problem. My arms start to ache as I wait for that useless witch to come, I managed to touch my amulet before they realised I was awake. The smell of blood and filth is turning my stomach as I wait, hung by my wrists with silver chains.I hear the thuds of the guards falling to the floor, and Venus’s magic calls to her blood that is in my system. It’s like a magic siren call pulsing through me as she comes into view. The scowling face of the top witch, Venus may look in her thirties but I know she is closer to eighty, and she does look good. Years I have tried to get her into bed, but never once did she even allow me to touch her. Her naughty sister on the other hand loved to keep my bed warm.Her soft footsteps get closer before I see the cell door fly open, she steps in dressed in her black clothes and long robes. Her hair is tied back in a bun on top of
Lizzy The fear that flooded me the minute her voice came into my head, she was terrified and it took me all my all to keep both my mates from shifting. Topaz led the way, being able to tap into any soul was one of her many tricks as she calls them.Poor Darnick was frantic, blaming himself for not keeping her eye on her and my fucking pig headed mates didn’t help as they shouted at him as we rushed to the bathroom. I watch after them as Darnick carries her up to their room, once they are out of sight I turn back to the matter at hand.“Can you portal him to the dungeon? It’s best no one sees this, it’s important that the pack have some space from the madness, even if it is only for tonight” I ask my father, he nods and steps forward. I watch as Topaz uses her magic to binde Findley’s hands and feet with a blue looking rope. It’s only then I realise she had gagged him as well, his eyes looked wild as he thrashed against the restraints.Topaz lifts her other hand and blows a kiss, I he
