They took me to the same bathroom that Seb had, throwing me into the shower and yelling at me to clean myself up. I tried pleading with them, telling them that they couldn't trust Sarah, that she would take my powers and horrible things would happen, but they just ignored me, making me give up and start to expect what was going to happen to me. The only good thing that would come from this is that I wouldn't be here to watch the people that I care about die, most likely a slow and painful death.When I was done being cleaned, they dragged my naked body down the hall to stairs, where they handed me off to two other men who took me down the stairs into an underground crave where a larger stone table sat in the middle of the room surrounded by candles. Sarah was standing over near a large, old-looking book that sat on a pedestal. She looked up, seeing me. A smile came to her face. "Tye her to the table."I struggled, trying to get out of the grip, but there was no hope. They were much st
Seb left me, locking me inside the cell alone with the voices fighting each other in my head. I wanted to fall asleep, but I couldn't. Their voices were too loud. I could feel myself becoming more crazy by the second I begged with them to be quiet, but they didn't listen. Instead, they begged me to help them escape the pain they had been feeling. All the pain was pulsing through my body. Handprints and bruises would appear on me, only staying for minutes before disappearing again as time went on, though they stayed for longer. My body was drained and broken. After what felt like hours, maybe even days, time now had no meaning, Seb returned. I only knew he was there because the voice screamed at me that someone was coming. I couldn't unbury my head to look up at him. "Blair, I've brought someone here to see you who I think can help you," he said quietly, trying not to startle me. "blairs gone, blairs gone" I kept repeating to him. I had no control over anything I did anymore. A hand
They stayed in the room talking for hours. I stopped listening to them, letting the spirits inside of me take over. With every passing hour, I could feel myself drifting further and further away, dying from the inside out. The pain was unbearable, but I was too weak to care about it. All I wanted to do was sleep, but no matter how hard I tried, it never happened.Seb left after a while. I don't know how long he was gone for, but when he returned, he came with books for Pearl, who sat on a chair in the corner across from me, reading through them all. I wanted to tell her there was no point in trying because no matter what she did, she wouldn't be able to help me. Well, at least that's what the spirits inside of me said anyway. Apart of me wanted to believe that they were lying, trying to make me believe whatever they said, so I wouldn't fight to stay and allow one of them to take over my body. I sat in the corner across from Pearl, my head buried in my knees, rocking back and forth. I
Seb and Jack left. I'm only guessing and hoping to get Brax. I could feel that I didn't have much time left; a part of me had already gone. I could feel that my human side had left a while ago, which scared me. What did it mean for me that I was no longer human? Pearl stayed with me, sitting over in her chair, reading through the books, still trying to find some answers on what to do in case Brax couldn't save me. She did leave for a little bit but was only gone for ten minutes, and when she came back, she was carrying bottles and other things. My rate was racing in my chest so fast and loud I could hear it echoing through my ears, sweat dripping from me. Pearl looked over at me and begged me to hold on a little longer. I was fighting as hard as I could but was becoming weaker with every passing minute. The pain hit me like a brick wall as the evil spirits started to attack my soul; I let out a blood-curdling scream, and Pearl came rushing to my side, grabbing onto my hands. "pl
No one knew what to do with me because I wouldn't let anyone touch me. So many things were still going on inside my head, and I could still feel all the power that had been inside of me. Their spirits may have left my body, but their powers had not, and I wasn't sure how to deal with that. I hadn't even worked out how to deal with my own power yet. Staying in the corner of the room, I listened to them talk as they tried to work out what to do with me. Brax wanted to take me back to his pack, but the others thought that was too dangerous. I hadn't been safe there before, so why would I be safe there now? Jack wanted me to go back home, but it was the same thing. They didn't know if I'd be safe there either. I was more scared of hurting them. I couldn't control my powers, and now I had more. I had no hope of getting a handle on them any time soon. "What about a coven of witches?" Pearl asked. We could take her there, and they could teach her how to control her powers."They all stood
I know everyone was worried by what I had said; they all looked at me differently now, and I couldn't blame them for that. The car ride back was done in silence. I could feel Brax's eyes on me the whole time, trying to read my every move. Anytime I looked up, and my eyes would meet someone else, they would look away fast, which told me that they now all feared me. Which I already knew but didn't want to come to terms with. Everyone started to get out of the car, but my body was frozen for some reason. The car felt like the safest place in the world to me right now. I could still hear voices in my head, but it wasn't like before. They weren't the voices of others. It was more like different parts of me trying to tell me what I should be doing and feeling. Braxs came to the door, holding out his hand to touch me on the arm. I pulled away from him, staring at him with fear. "please don't touch me. They don't like it." He pulled his hand away, face staring at me with concern. "who
I rolled over as the sun hit my face; slowly opening my eyes, I looked over to the chair Brax had been sitting in to find that he was gone. Sitting up, I let my eyes adjust to the brightness in the room. Blue sat up, wagging his tail at me, giving him a pat on my head I swung my legs out of bed before standing up and going to find clothes to put on. My stomach was growling at me with hunger. I can't remember the last time I had a proper meal. Making my way down the stairs, I could hear people talking. I didn't want to have to face everyone yet, but I knew that I didn't have a choice. Walking into the dining room, everyone stopped what they were doing, all looking at me, making me uncomfortable."hi," I shifted on my feet, playing with my fingers."Well, good afternoon, sleepy head," my father said back, making me wonder how long I had been asleep.Brax stood up, pulling out a chair for me and gesturing for me to sit. As I sat down, a flashback of the last time I was in this room rush
After over an hour of trying to feel my wolf, I was getting angry and over it, but Brax just kept pushing me to keep trying. He told me repeatedly that if I could get a hold of it and control it, it would benefit me in the long room and apparently not hurt as much when I shift into one.I was starting to lose control of my emotions again, frustration and anger fighting their way through."I can't do this" I stood up, throwing a rock at the water in a fit of rage. "I do not have a fucking wolf. This is a waste of him."Brax stood there staring at me. "You're right. This is a waste of time because I've been going about this all wrong. Your wolf is driven by your anger," he grabbed my hands, holding them in his. "I need to make you angry for you to connect to your wolf."I stared at him in disbelief, feeling confused and apprehensive. "What do you mean, make me angry? How is that supposed to help?""You are a naturally nice person who doesn't like conflict, so it only makes sense that yo
