6. Perdida

~~~~~~~~~~~~Recap~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I went down the stairs at the back and into the parking lot absentmindedly I bumped into a Wall. I winced

A wall that was surprising fleshly. I looked up to see what or who I had bumped into and yes I regretted it thoroughly.

A mixture of emotions washed over me. Fright being the dominant one.

'Why don't you just kill me?'

Of all the people!!!

Kill me!

'Hello there, kitten,' his husky voice rang in my ears sending waves of unease down my spin. 'Missed me?'

Oh hell!

                          ~~~~~~~~~~~End of Recap~~~~~~~~~~~

'Killian,' I said cautiously. 'you're here?' more like why the hell are you here?

'You should be thanking me little cousin after all I took it upon myself to bring your medicines,' he informed. 'So don't worry your pretty little head over it and lose the shades its cloudy out'.

'What?' I asked slightly dumbstruck. 'Why didn't uncle Cain come? Why would he send you?' I quizzed eyeing him suspiciously.

'Careful there love, wouldn't want me to change my mind and leave you roaming around flaunting your little secret about now would you?' he questioned clearly amused at my suspense. Fool! but I quickly nodded my heard none the less. I needed that medicine.

'Thought so,' he said with an eye roll as he reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a syringe from one and a glass battled green liquid from the other. 'Father informed that this happens to be the only one left and he cant make a new one as he is currently preoccupied,' he warned. He held my shoulders in a tight grip as he asked 'Are you rea--' before he could finish we heard a low growl coming from somewhere. He quickly shoved me behind him as he stood in from of me surveying the area. Totally unaware of the trouble about to occur.

'Stay!' he sharply demanded.

WHAT? do I look like to him? a dog?

He could clearly see the wheels churning in my mind and before I could utter something offensive his cold eyes met mine daring me to piss him off. I cowered in fright and slowly lowered my gaze. He quickly moved forward stalking towards the forest. He reach there and frantically looked around. As he explored deeper into the woods, still in my line of sight but significantly far away from where I stood.

Out of a sudden, I heard a screeching sound of a car from behind. It was zooming fast behind me as I stood frozen in the parking lot. It was a black SUV headed my way. Before I could avoid it, it stopped suddenly before it hit me. A tall wall of muscle swiftly opened the door, grabbed my arms and forced into the car, my screams were caught within my throat. Everything happened so fast I swear it almost gave me whiplash. I clawed at the car windows helpless as I saw Killian running towards the car in an inhumane speed desperately trying to reach me but a man his size can only run so much especially when going against a fully speeding car, soon Killian was out of sight and my hope slowly dwindled and I felt defeated, being forcefully whisked away helplessly by unknown kidnappers to God knows where.

The car was moving so fast and deeper into the woods, so far away from civilization. Silent tears escaped from my eyes to the sharp plains of my cheeks, tears of regret. If only I had stayed in that bathroom and called Leon as he had demanded but I acted too rash and landed myself here in the middle of nowhere with two dangerous males.

Why?

From the corner of my eye I saw a blur, a black streak, racing through the outlines of the forest,

hope.

Suddenly I felt the car jerk to one side and the hold the man had on me loosened. I took this as my chance to get away from him, I kicked him and wiggled myself to the other end. As I reach for the door handle he yanked me back to him roughly, What mafia scene was this again?

Mr Mafia slapped a white cloth over my mouth, I knew what he was trying to do! I held my breathe so as to not breathe in the medicine. A few minutes of holding my breathe I began to feel so weak. I tried to struggle but the chlorofoam was too intense. It seem to seep into my nostrils and mouth. It made me awfully drowsy. It was already taking reaction on my nerves and my brain. I fell to a deep sleep after smelling the chluorofoam from the cloth. All I could feel was the car spinning as a strong force hammered against it fast and hard. Mr Mafias grip on me loosen and the clothe fell. I greedily inhaled the minute I got the chance to only for it to be wrongfully wasted on a scream that came after the car roughly collided into a big tree.

I felt the car being torn apart, I moved away quickly as the door was aggressively ripped open to show the physique of yet another unfamiliar person. I couldn't clearly make out what the person looked like. I looked down to the broken mirror near the front and I saw a pair of cold, lifeless yellow eyes. I felt fear looking straight into those yellow eyes but the headache gnawing in the back of my head failed in registering this revelation. I was yanked by the hair out of the car to come face to face with the demon herself.

I should have known!

'Couldn't let my brother take all the credit now could I,' Clarissa sneered. 'so I decided to take matters into my own hands.

She said tracing her index finger over my cheek. But I'm afraid you'll have to go to sleep for a the fun to finally begin'. she said cynically as she plunged a needle into my arm.

'I always enjoy a good chase' is the last thing I heard before everything went completely black.   

.

I woke up. My heart was pounding really fast against my ribcage. My head was throbbing, I slowly opened my eyes only to close them as nerve wrecking pain shot through my head, I reach up only to find my hands restrained. I tried opening my eyes again and I saw myself tied up to a chair. I couldn't move my body, it felt numb. My mouth was covered by a cloth. I wanted to scream but I couldn't. Fear settled within me as endless pools of tears started to stream down my face. I looked at my surroundings. It seems to be a run down garage. I see bottles of kerosene and some car parts. I heard laughs from outside the garage. It heard two distinct voices.

The door of the garage opened. Clarissa and Nico walked in spotting their infamous cruel smirks. Nico was spotting a black eye and a busted lip and I could only imagine where he got those from. He was speaking French as Clarissa followed close behind him. Her bristle hair sticking to her skin, must've just taken a shower. They were speaking French, thinking that I would not understand a word, Stupid, you never underestimate your enemy. It was clear and they wanted to decide ways to torture me. Clarissa pulled out a syringe, If I guessed right it contained the same substance that knocked me out in a matter of seconds.

I can't let them inject that in me.

Hell! I cant let them look into my eye. I cant risk them of all people finding out. I closed my eyes tightly and flex my hands, I waited patiently for Clarissa and Nico to come into close proximity in order for me to carry out my plan.

I wanted to just get up and escape so desperately but it was impossible with these two up and about. My hands were tied and it hurt but I have no choice but to try my best and grab. They silently spoke amongst themselves until Nico came and roughly grabbed my head and turned it up and said...

'I know you're up love,' Nico whispered. 'so open your pretty little eyes for me before I make you'. I refused to open my eyes. His fingers tightened around my chin clearly angered by my ignorance.

'Clarissa,' he called. 'I think she needs some, awakening'. he said menacingly,

I could hear Clarissa's heels click against the cold cemented floor. She slapped me across the face, I yelped but kept my eyes closed.

She punched me in the face and I felt hot liquid stream down my face but still I kept my eyes closed. She kicked me in the ribs and I could've sworn I heard a snap apart from the shriek that flew out of my mouth.

She kept punching me and kicking me like a ragged doll. I was under her mercy.

'I've always wanted to do this,' she said as she yanked my hair and landed another punch on my jaw.

I felt the blood in my veins boil as my eyes burnt, I clenched my fists.

I was angry!!!

Not good

As soon as I felt her breath close to my face, I grabbed two syringes and plunged each one in both their necks. Saying there were shocked was an understatement. I looked down at my hands in shock as I saw blue streaks dancing across my finger tips.

What . The . Hell!

No time

No time

I tried to do the thing again so I closed my eyes and tried to focus.

it didn't work. No surprise there.

I reached for the floor and felt the flat and cold surface of a knife and cut the rope restraining my feet, as soon as I was freed and headed straight through the door twiddle one and twiddle two came through. I bust through the door in a sprint and found myself in the middle of nowhere surrounded by tree after tree.

Unaware of where I am or where I am going, I knew one thing. I needed to be leave and run as far away from this place as I could. I was covered in bruises front, back and center, ugh.

I ran through the forest with no sense of direction praying to God that I'd reach some civilisation soon. I walked down a path which led to a lovely glistening blue lake.

I walked over and kneeled in front of it to take a drink until a big brown wolf peeked through the bushes as he snarled with a sneer.

CAN'T I JUST REST FOR A MINUTE CAN I?

I should've gotten that rabbit foot. I thought to myself nut yes how absolutely stupid of me to think about a rabbits foot when I'm staring face to face with a few shirtless guys. One of them stepped forward and said

'are you lost, human?'

Lost um yes but scratch that 'Human'?

'yes?' I sort of questioned because yes I am lost but who am I to trust guys walking around the woods shirtless? questionable.

'Don't worry come along, we'll bring you to the Alpha he'll know what to do,' the man on the right with strawberry blond hair said only to get an elbow to the stomach by the one in front who spotted brown hair.

'He will have your head, what are you thinking bringing a human to the Alpha?'

again, 'Human'? and now 'Alpha' right so they name they're leader after the Greek alphabet. Parents these days. Where's the creativity? honestly.

well I had no choice, I had to get away from Twiddle dumb and Twiddle stupid who are currently laying limb on a dirty garage floor. They might wake up any minute and find me no problem. I'll have to trust them at least.

I walked towards them slowly, 'I-I'll go,' I whispered softly.

'see she agreed'. the strawberry blond said rolling his eyes playfully. He headed towards me and grabbed my hand leading the way as the rest of the men followed.

As we walked through the forest the Strawberry Blond looked at me and said.

'I know in your head you're probably calling me some weird name given to the way you keep eyeing my hair I think I got the picture,' he said with a chuckle as he reached his hands out to me. 'Hey, my name is Cameroon but my friends call me Cam, and you are?' 

'My name is Stormi,' I answered shyly tucking a loose strand behind her ear.

'and it sure does look like you went through a storm there, hey?' Cam joked only to receive a blow to the rib by brown haired guy.

'dude!' Cam groaned. 'What's your problem Kael?'. Oh so the brown head was called Kael.

Hmm interesting...

'My apologies for his utter stupidity and lack of analysis,' Kael started. 'My name is Kael and I am the beta'. He finished with a small wink.

'Hey hey hey, who are you calling stupid? You bone head?' Cam whined with a pout which made me stifle a laugh. I think Cam and I are about to become the best of friends at this rate.

'See I made her laugh,' Cam stated proudly looking at me nudging my shoulder.

'Yeah sure well done, good job,' Kael sarcastically replied. 'Want a sticker with that?' He carried on riling up Cam to which he earned an eye roll as Cam looped his giant arm around mine and started pulling me along.

This, now this was comical. I was tiny compared to him and let me tell you I wasn't a slight bit amused.

In no time we reached a beautiful road that was laced with flowers of all kinds, small ponds and birds happily chirping away in the trees. It looked peaceful and very very much aesthetic, I was in a beauty and the beast portrait. I was in awe.

As we walked further up the road, there surrounded by nature stood the most beautiful house I've ever laid my eyes on. Calling it a house was an insult to its grand demeanor. It was a freaking mansion!!!!

As we walked towards the small gate. Kael pulled out a remote control that automatically opened the gate for us.

We pasted through it and headed for the front door. We got up the short stairs and stepped onto the porch which was beautiful decorated lined with different flowers. A couples swing on the far right accompanied with a small outdoor table which had a lantern upon it together with a pot of pink roses.

On the left was a set of chairs with a table between them, a plant lined with lanterns hanging on top of them.

The white pillars where caressed with flowery vines that hugged them tightly with its roots. It was beautiful.

Kael put his hand on the keypad by the door and it automatically opened. Talk about Technology people!

He walked into the house and boyyyyy was I know surprised, obviously the inside would be even more appealing than the outside.

The walls were either black, white, nude, grey and maroon, I can't stress this enough. I'm impressed no trouble there. Glass and golden chandeliers hanging gracefully from the ceilings. A Two bounded white staircase with golden accents around it. I felt too dirty for this place. Did I even want to look into a mirror? Er bad idea!

Cam lead me into a room as the rest dispersed and vanished within the walls of the mansion, probably to their rooms.

'Right! So this is you, this is where you'll be staying until Kael comes over to take you to the Alpha,' he said as he walked further into the room showing me around the room and where everything was.

During the tour Kael walked in 'well, lucky for you young lady the Alpha is not home at the moment,' he said in a relieved tone. This sparked my interest. Is this Alpha guy so scary that these two muscle heads were petrified of him?

After a few more minutes of chatting they left me to take a bath as they ordered some pizza. I walked into the porcelain bathroom, damn! I would most definitely eat in here hehe. I got into the shower and quickly took a much needed bath.

After I walked to the vanity cabinet and found a new toothbrush and toothpaste and brushed my teeth. I look at myself in the mirror and I immediately regretted it. In my defense I did go through hell and made it out alive so I had every right to look dead!

I headed back into my room to find a pair of joggers and a large T-shirt, I believe the T-shirt belongs to one of the guys. I pulled on the clothes and wondered downstairs tracing my steps hoping and praying I didn't get lost in this maze of a mansion.

I bumped into a girl? Hmmm?

I didn't know there were girls here. Explains the joggers I guess.

'Hey,' she said with a kind smile. 'My name is Eva, you must be Stormi,' she said crushing me in a huge hug and dragged me downstairs where Cam, Kael and yet another unfamiliar female seat by the table with 5 boxes of pizza.

'Hey guys, guess who I found coming this way,' Eva chirped.

Everyone greeted me as the other girl walked up to me and jumped onto me, I was caught off guard we stumbled back a bit.

'Hey cutie,' she giggled. 'My name is Vanessa but you can call me Nessa'. She introduced as she lead me to the table.

We all set down and started eating we spoke for a while and watch some tv after bingeing on some snacks. I thank everyone for having me and saving me but when they asked me about how I ended up in the forest I couldn't bring myself to to answer them so they kindly allowed me to be familiar with them first and then tell them when I was ready to which I agreed.

The girls lead me to my room, tended to my wounds and left me to sleep after bidding me goodnight and engulfing me into another warm hug. I then realized just how much I missed my family. They must be very worried, then I thought back to Killian I hope he can gently explain this to them so as to not hurt them. But well, it's Killian we are talking about.

I'll have to inquire with the others if I could go and make sure my family was okay and worry free.

As I lay in the bed kindly offered to me by my newly found friends I couldn't help but wonder how the Alpha guy was like. Was he as stupidly hot as the other guys? Was he scary? Maybe he had scars and that's why the others were so petrified of him?

I guess today wore me out so much I was slowly dosing off,

As the darkness engulfed me into its awaiting arms I couldn't help but think

'Every cloud has a silver-lining'
