"The entery goes on to say,'Douglas was digging a little more into the pack and it's goings-on when he heard that the girl didn't get far before the alpha's trackers found her hiding out a few towns over. They followed her and when she was alone chased and cornered her in an alley but somehow she got away and the trackers were brought back to be treated for serious burns. I think that when she was trapped and probably scared out of her mind, her emotions were running wild and especially as she was unable to shift due to the pregnancy, Rosalee burnt them to protect herself. I suspect using a power unbeknowing to her, because if she knew about it I believe she would have used it sooner. Rosalee is very likely a red wolf! Douglas called me last night and told he. He also said we are not the only ones thinking this, as alpha Skinner is outraged and the objective has changed in regard to the girl. The alpha has called in the clang to hunt her down and dispose of the problem she has become
Elias POV It's been several hours since the readings of Maxwell's father's journaling, and I can still feel the pain in Chilli's heart like it is my own. I watch her as Erin goes on about something to us all in this private guest sitting room in the guest wing. It's refreshing to have some time just the four of us and not have to put on a show or pretend to be okay around others. All through dinner she put on a brave face to hide her heartache and numbness as she played with her food, just moving it around on her plate. "Not hungry?" I asked her, to which she just slowly shaked her head no."You need eat Chills, your eating for two now remember?" Erin jests, "Mmmnnn," Chilli grunts as she picks at her chicken pie and mash potatoes. "Are you put off because of this morning after breakfast?" I whisper quietly,"A little," she sighs, so I wrap an arm around her shoulders and squeeze her tight, giving her a kiss on the temple. But now seeing her cur
Outside the East pack house, a figure crouches down in the bushes, watching by the dim light of the moon as another runs silently across the open grass area, keeping low to the ground, trying to stay out of sight. "Did you do it?""Yes, the alarms are disabled.""Good, did you see anyone? Did anyone see you?""No, and no, atleast, I don't think so,""What do you mean, you don't think so?""It's just, there are a few lights on still.""Everyone must be asleep by now, it's like nearly two am or something. Come on, we have orders and a job to do,""I've got the cans, and here's the lighter,""Good, lets go."Elias POV *cough, cough* ... *cough, cough*...The sound and movement of Chilli's body on me, as she coughs, wakes me slightly, pulling me to a half conscious state. *cough, cough* ... *cough, cough*...I rub her back, trying to smoothe her, not wantingher to wake yet, as I squint my eyes open to glance at the time but they are all blurry from just waking up. Blinking a few times
We race along another hallway following the sounds of distress as it becomes louder and louder, until we reach the end and last door. I go to open it but it won't, like it's locked or something."Why won't it open?" Chilli coughs next to me, leaning up against the wall, she sounds and looks exhausted."It's stuck, the bones of the building must be shifting in the heat." I speculate now trying to force the door open, but it still won't move. Even after throwing my shoulder up against it, it's no use."Together," Chilli suggests and I'm hesitant at the idea of her smacking herself into a solid door, but I know there is no stopping her or time to argue, so I just agree. "Ready?" She asks, and I nod, "One, two, three!" Bang! Both our shoulders hit the wood simultaneously, and I swear it moves this time but only slightly. "Again!" Chilli barks, determination filling her, "One, two, three!" Bang! I sigh as the door still stands in our way. Chilli moves us back a few extra steps, her eyes bu
Chilli POV "ERIN! HERE THEY COME!" I shout to her as the first child finally kneels down and starts to crawl forwards,"COME ON, THAT'S IT, KEEP COMING, THAT'S IT!" Erin calls to them trying to coax them to her. I glance up at Elias as the next little one heads in, I see beads of sweat dripping down his face, his muscles tensing and arms shaking as a shock of panic pings from him. Oh, crap! I momentarily stop the little girl who's hand I was holding on to before and pass her the baby, guesturing her to carry the baby out with her. Then I jump to my feet and catch the beam in Elias's arms as it drops ever so slightly. Fuck! This thing is seriously fucking heavy! "You don't have to do everything on your own you know," I say with a bit of a grunt because of the weight of it, but all Elias can ask is,"Where's the baby?""Going through now with the little girl." I gesture with my head down as her feet disappear into the rubble. "Good, okay," he sighs through gritted teeth, "now it's yo
"What were you just doing?" I ask, staring at her, my anger vanishing with the lights."I... I was ... I don't know," she stutters, looking around glass eyed at where the lights were, "I was ... just ...""You had your eyes closed and then you were glowing?" I explain to her,"I was on fire?""No, it was different, like the lights but all over," I say, gesturing to her whole body with my hands, " Why did you shut your eyes?" I asks softly, trying to figure out how she did it. "I was just trying to calm myself," she looks around worriedly, "Elias, we need to get out! The fire!" "It's fine, don't worry about it," I tell her, I have a hunch and need to follow it, because if I think I'm right. "What were you thinking about when you had your eyes closed?" I push, standing infront of her with my hands gently holding onto her upper arms."That we need to find a way out of here, ELIAS!" she shouts my names as the fire behind us, roars at us as if trying to attack us. "Do it again!" I tell
Meanwhile, on slightly higher ground, looking down on the once firey scene, two figures stand, watching on."Well, that was ... unexpected," "I'm still not sure what just happened or what that was," A moment of silence as the two figures stare at the pack house from a distance. "Do we tell her?""Of course we tell her! What else can we do? She is waiting to be informed on the outcome, plus she's not one to cross, remember?""Yes, it still hasn't healed yet,""Well then... come on, they are waiting for a report, you know how she hates to be kept waiting." "She scares me,""Come on!" They race up and over the slight hill to where two more figures stand, waiting."Alpha, marm,""Well?" She asks inpatiently, "What is happening? Why has the smoke stopped?" "The pack house was on fire...""Was? As in past tense?" She barks,"Yes marm, it went up very quickly, but...""But what?" She snaps, losing the last of her resolve."We're not sure, one minute there was fire everywhere and then it
Elias POV A sinking feeling forms in my stomach as I walk away from Chilli, especially when I said I'd never leave her side again, although I'm sure the sickly feeling is from all the smoke and other crap I probably inhaled during the fire. As I leave the medical area I spot Erin with Leroy perched under a tree."Hey, Erin!" I call and wave to her."Elias? Is everything okay? Where's Chilli?" She asks all at once,"Everything is fine, she is in the medical tent now, that's actually part of what I wanted to ask you. Could you stay with her please?""Why? Where are you going?" She asks, "Maxwell has asked for me," I explain,"Oh, okay, sure of course I'll stay with her." Erin agrees,"Thank you Erin," I go to walk the way I last saw Maxwell go when I ask, "Leroy, come with me?" "Sure man," he glees, jumping up to his feet to catch up with me. "How you feeling?" I ask Leroy as we walk in search of the alpha,"Good, really good,
