Chilli POV My surroundings fall away as all my attention is on her! All I can think of is her, dead at my paws lying in a pool of blood. My body is numb, I am yet to feel the devastation of losing lil.... my ange... her. I know I can not let those thoughts and feelings in, not right now because if I did, I fear knowing deep down, it will break me, cripple me as I'd fall to pieces, so, for now, I close off all feelings and emotions regarding to ... it, and purely focus on killing the bitch cowering before me. With each step I get closer, the more I can smell her fear and panic as I ignore the nagging feeling in the back of my head that this could be a trap, that surely this evil woman would have some sort of plan, that this couldn't be it. But I don't care, I've lost everything, and my life is basically over, what do I have left to lose? I feel a screaming presence in my mind as if someone or thing is fighting for my attention, and the more I ignore it the louder it g
The last bit of colour drains from her face as she loses the last leg she has to stand on. As if at last knowing her 'poor me' act isn't going to cut it this time, her personality switches as she pushes her own face into mine, changing tactics. Feeling her face in my fur, I bare my teeth angrily, far from pleased with the physical contact."Who do I think I am! Who the hell do you think you are to talk to me like this?" She snarls back, "I am your elder! I am above you! You are nothing compared to me! After everything I have done for you, and this is how you treat me? You ungrateful fucking bitch!" She spits as a burning smell fills my nostrils when Pauline suddenly cries out in pain, leaping back and away from me, clutching at her face. "Arrrah, my face, my fucking face!" She howls in agony and I can't help but smirk at her pain. "Stupid, fucking red wolves! Should have put you down like your fucking mother!" "What?" I stumble, losing balance for a brief second at her
Now refocusing on the bitch beneath my paws, I snarl at her remembering her words moments ago."My mother," I snap, forcing a link with her in my anger and automatically connecting with Elias too. "Did you have anything to do with my mother's death? And what do you know about red wolves?" Pauline just snarls, trying to move beneath my weight. I push down harder on her, wanting to make her talk, to explain. "Tell me!" I bark, "what did you do? What do you know?"A cold shiver runs down my spine as her laugh rings out in my head coldly, I wasn't expecting that reaction. she bucks, throwing me off her back and to the side. As my side scrapes along the ground, I wince, cursing myself for losing my concentration, as I squeeze my eyes shut from the pain for a split second. I reopen them just in time to witness Pauline's mangy wolf pouncing, attacking Elias from behind. 'ELIAS!' I howl through the link, desperately trying to warn him as I lay on the ground helpless t
Chilli POV As she laughs triumphantly, distracting herself for a moment, I, feeling the pain and anger from her words and actions, plant my paws, centering myself, not wasting this opportunity to strike or enact my revenge. Before she knows what is happening, I push off from the ground and fly through the air at her, to land and connect with her side, riding her down to the ground with a hard thud as I lock my jaws around her neck. My sharp canines pierce her hairy skin as all she can do is howl out an all-mighty screech of pain, as her warm blood floods my mouth and trickles out the corners, staining my fur on its way down. I scream through the link into her mind, deafening her inner ears, and making her feel all my pain and wrath. Her blood pools on the ground around us as I feel her life force fade. She wails and struggles in my grip but to no evade, as I clench my jaw until I hear the snap!I have never taken a life before, I never thought I would, never
Elias POV Finally holding my Chilli in my arms, somehow gives me strength. Rising to my feet I offer her a hand to help her up,"Let's get out of here." She smiles and accepts my help by taking my hand. As she gets to her feet they seem to give out from under her and I just manage to catch her by wrapping an arm around her waist, pulling her close to me to steady her. She blushes at me, looking tired and suddenly weak, I can't help but growl ever so softly as I give her a look of concern, worry, and annoyance. I feared this, I feared she'd go too far and use up too much power and energy. My free hand instinctively rushes to her stomach again in a panic, but Chilli just holds my hand there and smiles weakly,"I'm okay, we are okay, promise," I grunt at her, unhappy she exhausted herself so much, but taking her word for it for now."Okay, but as soon as possible, we are going to the hospital to get you two checked out, just to be safe and sure," I tell her,
Chilli POV "Oh, fuck!" I murmur aloud, still in disbelief of where we are. I close my eyes and try opening a link with anyone from our pack, but I'm too weak and probably too far away from them, we must be deep into the other's territory. Glancing at Elias in the corner of my eye, I can tell by his facial expression he just tried and failed too.Fear begins to creep in as I recall the stories and bits of information I know about this place and it's people. I am now so glad Elias found these clothes for me and a cleaner set for himself, if anyone saw him in blooded clothes we'd be picked up and taken to one of their hospitals where they'd want to run tests and goddess knows what they'd discover, or he would be arrested, which isn't much better... Brrrr... a shiver runs down my spine at the mere thought of it. Even in our current state and appearance, we will attract too much unwanted attention. There are areas where our borders do blur and mix with the ot
Winter packhouseI kick against the bars, still unable to bear being down here in these cold, dank, ancient cells. To be honest, I forgot they were down here as we don't use them anymore, not for the last hundred-odd years anyway. Wrapping my hands around the black bars, gripping them with all the might I have left, still so angry, "Arrrrh!" I cry out kicking the metal again,"Oh, for goddess sake Erin! Will you stop!" "No!" I snap back."We've been down here for weeks now,""And for that reason, I should relax, take a nap and just wait around for something to happen?" "No, but it's better than pulling on those fucking bars every hour of every day! They are not going to BREAK!" "Sorry Luna," I bow my head as I let go and back away till I feel the stone wall behind my back, then slide down it till my ass hits the ground with a huff. "Better," my luna smiles, but only for a brief moment before the sorrow and heartache rushes back. I r
Erin POV (continued)I feel my emotions overflowing me, pushing me to and past my breaking point, but I will not cry, I refuse to let him make me cry. Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath in and ... out, "What have you done?" I look at my luna in confusion as she guestures at my hand,"Oh," I croke, looking down at my bleeding nuckles with bits of dirt and gravel in beded in them."Give it here," my luna says, holding out her hands to take my bleeding one. I watch her pick out the fragments of stones from my swollen hand, if it wasn't for my luna I think I would have given in by now or lost it completely, she has helped me through this so much, been so supportive, I can't help but well up ever so slightly. "Thank you," I whisper, barely audible. She looks up at my face and smiles,"Of course, although if you didn't keep hitting the walls and now the floor, I wouldn't have to keep doing this," she jests, not realising what I'm actually thanking he
