Chapter 03 Flashback continued.

Flashback continued:

“Mina, you know how I feel about that damn word. Nothing is impossible especially when it comes to me. I have never met a place that I couldn’t get into. I feel like that should have been established when I got into their secret volt even with all the security they had in place.” Lucky said, proudly. “I’m glad you brought it up, just how did you manage to bypass all my security and the protection spe…I mean the facial recognition, fingerprint, and blood ID we have in place? We paid millions to protect our most valuable possessions.” Makahi asked blocking Lucky’s path to the exits. Lucky just shrugged, “I guess you could say I’m just Lucky.” Lucky said with a smile. Makahi didn’t know what to make of the little woman and her child, but right now she was our only option in finding Shawna and Trixie before Soko’s people do.

End of flashback…..

Somewhere in an abandon underground cave:

         “Can you please stop with the screaming and tell me what the hell is going on and where the hell are we?” I said trying to understand what the hell is going on. I had a killer headache, I’m naked, and smell like smoke. I am trying to remember what happened and how I ended up here, but I’m drawing a blank. It’s like a fog covering my brain and these kids aren’t making it better with all the damn screaming. Wait a minute, “What do you mean you saw me burn? Like I was on fire? I don’t have any burns on my body so obviously I wasn’t on fire or the flames didn’t touch me.” I said, frowning at the small girls waiting to hear if they were lying.

       “Lady, I know what I saw. We all saw you burst into flames and your body was a pile of ashes over there. Look behind you, those are your ashes. Those other bodies have burn marks and burns on them, but you’re the only one naked and has soot all over your body.” The little girl said pointing at something behind me. I frowned confused about everything she said because none of it was a lie. Somebody else is in here with me? I didn’t even notice when I woke up all I heard was the little girls talking. I turned to look at who else was in here maybe they knew what the hell is going on. The person head their backs to me, so I couldn’t see who it was but there was something familiar about them.

        “Hey, wake up can you tell me what the hell is going on?” I asked, walking over towards them when they didn’t bother answering. As I got closer I could see the person’s hair telling me it was a woman but there was something I couldn’t put my finger on but all of a sudden my heart began to race, as I tried to remember what happened, but I just couldn’t remember. When I got close enough to touch her my hand began to tremble. I grabbed her shoulder and shook it. “Hey, wake up, are you alright?” “No, she was dead just like you were there’s no heartbeat.” One of the girls said. I looked back at them frowning again, then turned back to the woman. Something told me I didn’t want to know who it was, but I needed to find out what the hell was going on.

        Those kids thought I was dead but I’m not, which is obvious. Something happened, but what those kids were saying had to be wrong. They might have thought they knew what happened but they were only kids. So, I need to check on this lady, she may need help. I reached for her again and this time I pulled her by the shoulder and fell backwards looking into the eyes of…… Shawna and the small little boy who head was poking out from the collar of her shirt their eyes burned holes into my soul. I couldn’t hold back the heart wrenching sob that escaped my throat. Looking into her unfocued eyes, I relived everything that happened. I remember trying to get her and a baby wolf out of that underground warehouse. But something happened and the building collapsed, and then nothing. I woke up here and now looking into Shawna’s soulless eyes realizing that I had failed her. Her boys would be without a mother they wouldn’t know how loving and funny she was. They wouldn’t get to feel a mothers love. I failed them because I couldn’t save Shawna.

         I went to Shawna picking her up into my arms which was difficult but I managed to lift her enough to bury my head into the crook of her neck, I cried and rocked with her in my arms for I don’t know how long. The pain that I always tried to avoid was weighing me down. I couldn’t run away from this sadness, because it was my own so I just let the pain take over and cried for everything those boys lost because I failed. “Hey, you need to quiet down before the doc hears you. They think that you were dead, if he find out you are still alive he might do you like he did those dudes over there. I hear one of the girls say, I didn’t look at them or even acknowledge they said anything.

        I didn’t care who heard me, as a matter of fact I want them to hear me. Because along with this pain there was anger and I wanted to fuck someone up and the perfect person would be this doc he did this he brought us here to do god knows what. But he will have to kill me before I allow him to do anything to me or those kids. Closing my eyes as more tears fell. “Shawna I’m so sorry, I will get you outta here and I will take you to your family. I promise.” I whispered as more tears fell from my eyes. “I wish you would get me outta here without your nasty as snot on my damn neck.” I heard a small voice say coughing. “You got snot on your neck but I have her slob on my hair that isn’t going to come out.” Another small voice say. My eyes widen as I pulled back to look into Shawna’s eyes now full of life where there was only death a moment ago. “What the hell is going on around here.” One of the girls said in shock. “Watch your mouth!” Shawna and Trixie said, before they laughed.
