A completely severed link would only leave room for grieving for the people we've lost, but not like the feeling we had initially of literally having lost your actual head, like you don't know how to go on, like it was impossible.My knowledge on some of these things wasn't too extensive, but I believed that's basically what was happening to us.We live in a kill or be killed world. That's just how it is.Nature's way of taking care of us, again, making sure that life would go on, that life can go on.Helping us grief intensely and thoroughly, but not forever.But this was me, I can't even imagine what the others were feeling, even with the help of a fading bond, there would still be so much sadness for the loss.Which is probably why the dark thoughts seem to be desperately pushed to the back of our minds now."But now that I think of it, I am quite hungry." Mavis said.'Oh no you don't." I said sitting down and pointing a warning finger at her."Maybe you could ask your mate to brin
We woke up to our cells being forcefully drawn open, the sound of metal bars banging.'Get up, you lazy animals." one of the guards who unlocked our cell, kicked me in the ribs.Ah, it's the red head guard from yesterday.Dan.And I was sure to catch the scowl he threw my way as he kicked me. Sour puss."Ow." I whined, getting up and looking around to see chaos in the dungeons as people were dragged out of their cells. The males putting up a fight since their sedatives have obviously worn off, females less so.At this point though, why bother."Hey, watch it!" Mavis mumbled as Dan kicked her too, not as hard as mine but painful nonetheless.Then we heard a growl."That will be the last time you ever touch her. Got that?" We turned to see a fuming James glare at Dan, a frown marring his handsome face.He rushed to Mavis and helped her off the ground, whilst I stood up also. James cupped her face and asked her if she was okay,and she shyly nodded.James smiled and placed a soft kiss on
Out of nowhere I found the courage to speak. "And if I don't?" I said slowly, placing the flag behind me and taking a step back, ready to bolt, although I doubt I'll make it far.At least I'll try. He rose his eyebrows fully this time in slight surprise at my sudden outcome."I will take it from you, even if I have to use force." he said as he took a step closer. And I don't know where this came from either, and I really hope I didn't render him incapable of having children, but in one quick move I rose my knee up and hit him in his jewels. Hard.My action must have taken him, and me, by surprise because he couldn't block the shot and he fell to the floor holding his babies as I stepped over him and made a run for it.I heard him let out an aggravated growl just before I was out of earshot. I ran back the way I came, past the stream, through the hedges, through the woods meeting unconscious bodies on the way, both from the blue and red team.I could see the base now, I was almost ther
I just stood there frozen, a pair of gray blue eyes staring at me. Growling and baring its canines drawing its claws as it approached me. I hid further behind the curtains only to have them ripped off leaving me exposed, shaking, scared. Pieces of cloth were stuck between its teeth after it tore the curtain. It let out one more sickening growl before it pounced on me ..."No!" I woke up in a dark room. My heart pounding out of my chest, my breathing heavy. I was sweating but I felt really cold. I wiped off some of the tears that had slipped out of my eyes as I was asleep. When I had calmed down I took in my surroundings. I was on a bed. A bed?I looked around and saw a window, it must be dark out, cause hardly any light came through. Then I noticed some movement with the corner of my eye and its like I saw a shadow in the corner of the room. I sat up abruptly and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes hoping to see more clearly, but the figure was gone."Hello? Who is there?" I tried to get
"So keep all sorts of pressure away from the injury for about a week and you'll be good to go. You are actually healing very fast, its amazing." Dr Hawkins told me with a reassuring smile. I looked at my arm that had been put into a fresh cast after the doctor cut off the old one to inspect my arm.He got up and packed his stuff and Latifah escorted him out.I already took my bath, which was extremely hard with just one hand, and changed into some fresh clothes that Latifah provided for me, which wasn't easy either.I looked on the bedside table and picked up my half eaten breakfast. Bacon, sausage, eggs and toast. I had my breakfast in my room instead of downstairs at the dining table because I seriously wanted to avoid some people and Latifah understood completely.I only drank my tea and ate the toast and a bit of the Bacon and eggs. I'm not a big fan of sausages. I placed the plate with my leftovers on the tray and took the tray in my right hand and walked to the door. ! gently us
"The one up North or down South?" James asked Damon. Damon ran a hand through his hair before he turned to look at me. His breathing was heavy, ragged. He turned around again, his back facing us. "Take her up north." and with that he stormed out of the room. ***** "Where exactly are you taking me?" I asked James quietly as we were walking through the woods. We left as soon as Damon left my room. I couldn't even change or say goodbye to Latifah. He just wanted me out of his house. I think I even killed someone. It was an accident, but he wouldn't even listen. So now here I am, going off to God knows where. "I'm taking you to an isolation cell." he told me, giving me a sympathetic smile. A cell? He's sending me back to a cell? "A cell?" I said. "Don't worry, it's not actually a cell, it's like a small cottage." he assured me. "The Alpha has a soft spot for you, he never sends anyone to the one up north, the one down south is even worse than a cell, trust me. This one isn't so bad
I woke up abruptly to the sound of something crashing. The bathroom door was broken down and a shirtless Damon stood before me.'What are you doing here?" I asked him sitting up.He ignored my question and came over to me and picked me up in his arms. I slung my arms around his neck and looked him in the eyes."Damon?" I asked, he was acting weird. He looked me in my eyes his blue eyes shining."Shhhh ... " he said before leaning in to place a soft kiss on my lips. He pulled back with a small smile. I was just staring at him wide eyed. A small smile creeping onto my face."I'm sorry." he said. I smiled and buried my face in his chest. He held me tighter.He's sorry?He's sorry. Finally."I love you." he added. I love you, I love you, I love you. I love you ......"Adriane, what are you doing in here?" I suddenly woke up staring at a sad looking Latifah. I sat up abruptly, banging my head against the toilet.Ow." I whined. I looked around, I was still in the bathroom.Wtf?! I was dream
After three more hours of reading I finished the first book. Well that's one book down. Four more to go. I immediately took the Sea of Monsters and continued my reading adventure.It was getting to five o'clock and I was beginning to get tired. The book was nice and all, but I needed to do something else. I was beginning to feel dizzy. I put the book down and went to my room. I walked to the window and opened the curtain.Looking out at the woods at this time is not half as creepy as when it's in the night. I really want to try and forget what I saw two nights ago. My childhood nightmares keep coming back to haunt me. Nobody even knows what I dream about, not even Mavis. Its not something I like to discuss. I opened the window and stuck my head in between two bars. To my far right I could see the sun getting ready to set. It really looked beautiful in the now orange looking sky. This could be a very nice landscape drawing.Maybe when Latifah comes, I could ask her to get me a sketch p
And just as I felt the pull increase, it stopped suddenly. Slowly I looked up to see wide blue eyes staring at me in shock. As quickly as it happened he pulled his hand out, thankfully spine-free. This however still led me to collapse on the ground. I was going to heal, yes, that is, if they gave me time to, but for now, I still couldn't feel my limbs properly. I felt a crack that made my body snap, my spine was realigning itself but it was excruciatingly painful and slow. All I could do was lie and watch Damon. Damon who for some reason was still just standing and staring at me. Sarah though, had apparently had enough. "I said for you to take her spine out!" I could see the blackness in his eyes trying to to return, and with all he had he fought against it. So much so that when his eyes started changing colour again I had a sickening feeling it was blood. And I was right.With a grunt he fell back to the ground, blood oozing out of his ears, eyes and mouth. He was spasming on
I had heard the words.Loud and clear.Yet they rang in my mind like I had imagined them.'Take her spine out.'A very dangerous command uttered against me. And yet I still couldn't move.I had heard those words and I was still frozen in shock.Unfortunately, Damon had also heard them, and was ever willing to oblige.I could feel his fingers and claws pushing past my flesh, tearing muscle and sinew along the way as he continued to inch closer and closer to my spine. The pain was searing and numbing at the same time.I gasped and could only let out silent screams and breathless grunts. My body was still not functioning the way it was supposed to. My motor nerves were defunct but my sensory nerves were working overtime. I could feel every ounce of pain and then some.So when he finally made contact with my spine I felt chills all over my body. From my scalp straight to my toe tips. His hand slowly wrapped itself around the girth of my spinal column, the gaping hole in my back causing
No."Attack her."I didn't even have time to register what she said because I was focusing on what was happening to Damon. In an instant, he had pounced on me while the other minions started to become visible around Sarah again.I've fought with Damon before, but we were training, and he was still him, and he didn't want to kill me.This time was totally different. I wasn't even fighting with Damon, I was fighting Sarah. I saw this because her eyes had turned as black as his, and she was focusing all her energy on me. She's entranced him.She's fighting me through him.Damon lunged at me, and I ducked and kicked him backwards. I tried to think hurriedly between rushed breaths and movements. How do I fight him? I can't hurt him. Will I hurt him if I fight him? Will it hurt her? He came for me again and bit into my shoulder, I reached my arms back, grabbed unto his shoulders, and yanked him off me, slamming him hard unto the ground. He grabbed my ankle and pulled me down to the
All of a sudden, I was left alone. They'd stopped attacking me.They're trying to leave.I was scared that they'd do that.If they escape today, we might never get them together again to end this.I really hope Damon and Evelyn were able to pull through.Just then, from around and above me, I felt surges in the atmosphere.Simultaneously walking in, there was Evelyn with Damon and Marcus right behind her. I heard them before I actually saw them.Evelyn's hair was all loose, actually levitating around her as she muttered some words and kept her hands up in the air. In twos and threes, people all started filing in from the hedge entrance at the far end of the clearing. This was way more than we agreed upon. In a short amount of time, there were almost sixty to seventy people here, all looking ready to fight. I even saw Mavis and James line up behind Damon and Marcus.Evelyn's voice got progressively louder as I caught my breath, looking all around and feeling all my wounds close up
I was in shock.When she was done doing whatever she was doing to the bubble she smiled. Because she knew what she was doing. She was distracting me. But I didn't even care about her anymore.I was frozen, staring at the woman. The woman who was still seemingly unconscious, fading fast and almost lifeless.The woman I would be replacing.The woman who sent me back when I almost died. The woman whose picture lies in my drawer with her brown long wavy hair, her hair that was not white because of age or even for the fact that she'd been overused or drained. Her white hair that was so in her wolf state. In her white wolf state. I'd stared at this face a million times in my worn out picture. I'd stared at this face even in the mirror. I knew her. I know her.It's her. It's really her."Only fitting that you've come to replace your mother isn't it. Generational blood is always the strongest." Sarah cackled.She was distracting me. Trying to throw me off. "One wolf supplying an entire t
There was no one here.Nothing here. And there was certainly no matter right in the air where my fist just was.I stretched my hand forward but there was nothing there. Like I'd just imagined it. But I've been through too much to just overlook things.I closed my eyes and punched the air around that spot again, but nothing.Stop. Breathe and feel the surge.I directed my rage and energy again and let it out in another punch. My hand bounced back again. It felt like I had hit some sort of jelly. Some thick invisible sturdy jelly.What is this?This time, keeping my focus I placed both hands on where I thought this jelly was, and I held it. I could feel it. And it wasn't just a little blob. It was huge, like a whole wall of the stuff. What is this? Are they in here? Keeping up with it, I tried to focus more of my energy on it to try and get through the barrier but I couldn't break it. It was literally exerting the same amount of force pushing me away as I was putting on it. "Ahh!
I'd committed the place to memory. I knew exactly where they were. And even if I didn't, they'd find me. They were expecting me. But they certainly weren't expecting me in the capacity in which I was going. And even if they were, they were in for a ride regardless. This ends today. It ends now. Walking further I started to notice the trees with the strange markings again. This was it, I was approaching dark woods territory. The etchings were barely visible, probably wearing away over the years or in their case probably decades, the bark protesting against this violation to its skin. I've known for a long time how I act under pressure, and I've known for a shorter while how my wolf acts under pressure. Right now I wasn't acting like anyway I've acted before. I wasn't shaking with apprehension or nerves, and I didn't have a rapid heartbeat filled with determination or wild aggression. I was just calm. Still. But I was blazing with fury.I could feel the ice cold flames wrap themse
Fight day.It was today.A week later has felt like a year.But it's finally here. I lay awake in bed staring at the ceiling.I didn't want to sleep, but Damon insisted, he said I need rest to be at my best today.So I'm here at 2am trying to rest since sleep has inadvertently evaded me, while Damon paces all over the house, doing goodness knows what.He's restless, I know.We all are. Even though we don't actually leave until 4pm, it's been impossible to relax. I haven't slept for almost two days now, but sleep was so far from me.I was going to take the lead. Locate the 'sanctuary' as they call it, by myself, and then have Damon and the rest follow my trail a little while later. How was I feeling right now? Scared?No.Anxious? Yes. I want to get it over with.Angry? Well, let's just say that whatever we have planned for them, they've got it coming.I spoke to Sorayah on the phone yesterday, she's already trying to make it back but I'm not sure what time she'll get here.It's
***A few minutes had gone by and we were still deep in conversation, regarding the sisters, what was happening, well the main gist of it and how we had to move forward.Even though I completely engrossed in the conversation I caught his footsteps before he even stepped on the lawn.I glanced over at Aliyah who had her eyes trained on Evelyn as she spoke of healer capabilities when they are in full bloom.I could sense him approaching. He was now outside the door. And by the way he lingered there for a whole five minutes I'm sure he knew who was in here. He was here to go over some things with Damon, something I would have to sit in on as well at some point.When I had planned this earlier I didn't think that it would take so long. I didn't even consider them running into each other. Is it going to be awkward or is it actually a good thing? To clear the air maybe?He finally stepped in, Sam, the head guard, in tow. They walked up to us and then greeted me."Alpha." They both said a
