Slowly I sat up to look around to find the room strangely white. We are no longer in the woods, no cool atmosphere, no sun, no trees, just white everywhere. I am sure I wasn’t moved, so how come did we end up here?
Still wondering, I heard the door unlock.
Immediately, I fell back and pretended to still be fast asleep. From the corner of my eyes, I saw them pass to keep Nora back in her cage and walk back out. The white light went out for a while, leaving everywhere pitch black again.
I don’t get it. If they really want to do such and confuse us, why did they leave the food safe?
I bet it was still early because the time went really slow. It was as if it was paused of something. Although I tried to stay awake this time but it didn’t work.
Immediately I looked to see that she, Nora, was fine and breathing well, I relaxed and the next thing was waking up to the harsh feeling of being shaken. I opened my eyes to see Caramel on me, shaking me as if…
“I was glad you had died for a few minutes before I see your chest raise,” she said.
wow! Such a lovely way to meet someone in a… morning?
Not the person that just had a dream of her mate ripping someone’s heart off his chest. Just fallacy, That had happened because I had it in mind before I fell asleep. I had wished my mate would kill Brook and rescue us.
That asshole had bitten more than he can chew.
“Now that you are not dead, I think you have to carry yourself around,” Caramel said “I won’t have to carry you since you are up” she added.
Oh, now I get it.
It could be that they asked her to carry me so she prefer to wake me. What a nice fellow!
Crawling out of the cage, I meet the girls in the line before quickly joining them. Luckily for me, the person in front of me is Nora. Her walking step wasn’t like before, it was like she is weak, broken, and… That smell.
‘She smells like Brook’.
I can vouch I felt Ashina nod in agreement but I let it pass. What I need now know is why she smells freshly of Brook. I know his scent anywhere I perceive it, even in the dream. Even in the midst of dirt, I know what he smells like.
Walking behind her till we go take our bath, change, and moved over to the woods to seat and watch nothing, I want to ask her a lot of questions. I want to ask her where she was been taken to and what had Brook done to her.
Seating beside her, I would cast her side looks until she caught my attention this time. Her eyes locked with mine and before I know what was happening, I am hugging her.
“He raped me” she whispered “That’s what he does to the girls, Rape them” she cried.
Omg!
How horrible!
I could not say anything, could not get it off my head how Brook would be so evil to kidnap girls, drug them, and rape them. How awful! How come I didn’t think about the reason he had brought all of us here in the first place?
I get he is mad. Mad at me and Rex for being mates but how do that concern these girls and humans? How does that have to use my blood to try on Caramel ‘again’ and have Camille by his side? How does that have to do with Raven who didn’t look happy the day she saw her?
Something is fishy!
With my hands still around Nora, I sighed. I want to cry but I have to be strong. I have to be there for her because I know how it feels. I know how it feels to be raped by your mate much more than someone that kidnapped you and other girls.
“I hate it here, Ashina” She muttered “What if we just run away?”.
What?
Looking around, I am grateful no one listens or pays attention to us. They just minded their own business, talking among themselves as of they are free, while Nora and I seems like the only normal people.
I looked at her to see if she had just said what she said because she was sad but it didn’t stop there. She had this zeal on her face like she is sure of what she saying.
“I know what I am saying, Ashina,” Nora said “Let’s get out of here. It’s not even somewhere in the forest as everyone thinks”.
Yes!
I knew it!
That should explain the silent day, no birds, howls, no crickets, just trees, and cool sun. Even the sun is bright and does not move.
“We are in the middle of somewhere we might know, Ashina” Nora sniffed “We can run before he does the same to you”.
Does the same to me?
I haven’t even gotten the courage to fight. I wasn’t sure if Rex would come for me as I never thought he loved me.
back then, Rex would do sort of things to me, making me think of the moon goddess ever assigned us to be together.
My gaze went back at Nora who looked absolutely miserable, she looked like she was scared for me and scared for something else.
Frankly, being a woman is scary.
birth, shift, mate, love, Our body, worst, we all pray not to get kidnapped or experience war.
I was little, I never experienced the kind of war I hear about but I know it would never be exciting to hear how they promise women to the finest of men.
“For what I get, I feel this man is trying to turn us into breeders or something as such” Nora sighed.
I nodded, feeling enlightened enough.
“if he want a whole army of Kids from himself, why then doesn’t he just face it on his women alone” I asked Nora “You know they are humans here too”.
Nora looked around as of trying to check for the human. her gaze turn to me and she wasn’t having it. She frowned and looked so disappointed.
“If you want to get raped, fine. It would be fair if you feel it too” she shurgged.
silent.
it was at that moment, I understood her desperate attempt to escape.
“We have to make a good plan, then” I said to her “That would be after rest or something plan-able”
Nora just looked at me in silence before giving me a small nod. Maybe she approve the idea.
