Of all the situations I thought I would have found myself in tonight, being brutally kidnapped by a wolf, and a blonde chick were definitely not one of them. "Let me go!" I screeched, kicking and clawing at the arms that encircled my chest. "You have no idea who you're messing with ok," I spat, "Do you know who my parents are?"
The wolf, now turned...human, chuckled and shot a look to the blonde lady that was throwing open the door of a van. Oh god, this is it. This is how I die. I swallowed. "Sweetie, I'm not sure you even know who you're parents are." She said, knowingly. I stared at her, hard and long, and right when I was about to be tossed into the truck I grabbed her hand. Clamping down on her wrist I pulled her to me so that we were eye to eye, feeling the heat travel from my hand to her. "You don't want to do this," I said softly, "You don't want to hurt me."
The girl's hard demeanor faltered, and her eyes fluttered as my grip tightened. "Tamsin!" The wolf, for lack of better words, barked. He tore me away and the blonde girl stumbled back, reaching for her head.
"Shit." She breathed, "Listen kid I've already got one handsy succubus on my plate, I don't need another."
"A what?" I asked, still struggling against this guy's grip. I felt my heart speed up, and I could hear the blood pumping in my ears. "You… you know what I am?"
"Yes," She snorted, "and you will too just as soon as you get your ass in that van."
I bit my lip in contemplation, this wolf was incredibly strong, and it seemed my chances of escaping were slim to none. However, I didn't run away three days ago only to be recaptured and imprisoned, and this time by people I didn't even know.
"On one condition." I said, looking back at the blonde.
Tamsin rolled her eyes, "what?"
"You let me call my parents first."
This got a laugh out of both of them. "Daddies girl, huh?" Tamsin snorted, pulling out her phone. "They won't find you hun, but I sort of thought that's what you wanted, isn't it?"
They'd been watching me. I knew I'd felt something for weeks, and I also knew that was all the more reason to leave. Suddenly, my 1,000 thread count sheets, and bedroom door that automatically locked itself at 10 PM didn't seem so bad. Even though for years I'd been a prisoner in my own home, it didn't seem any more as daunting to go back to when I looked at the two who had just captured me.
Giving up, I sighed. "Please, I just want to say goodbye."
"Oh honestly," Tamsin scoffed, "We're not going to kill you succubitch, calm your feminine wiles, alright?"
"Y-You're not?" I whimpered.
"Get her in the van," Tamsin ordered, whipping around and heading for the drivers seat. The wolf guy lightly shoved me into the van, if that was even possible, and before shutting the door poked his head in
"Sorry if we scared you." He said, quietly. "We just want to help you, ok?"
"By kidnapping me?" I scoffed, yanking at the mess they made of my dark brown hair. "Great work." With that, the door closed.
The wolf must have slipped me something on the way there because suddenly I was waking up, my eyes were heavy and I felt like all the wind had been knocked out of me. Someone was carrying me, through corridors with tall ceiling, and marble flooring. If my memory wasn't slowly coming back to me, I would have thought they'd taken me home. "W-where…" I started, trying squirm out of the grip that was holding me.
"Shhhh." It was the wolf, and his coaxing only made me want to escape more.
"You drugged me," I groaned, giving up the fight when I realized it hurt to move even a single muscle in my body.
"No, you're just hungry. When was the last time you fed?"
"I don't know," I huffed, before you and blondie bad cop showed up, I was eating breakfast."
"No I meant, when was the last time you fed off someone?"
"Whoa there wolf boy, don't know if you noticed but I am totally underage, and these questions probably file somewhere under sexual harassment."
The wolf chuckled. "Relax, Lorelei, you will understand everything soon."
"You know my name too?" I sighed, leaning into him, my fatigue was getting worse and worse. "Everybody does, we've been watching you for a long time."
"Oh, not creepy at all."
"You're one of us, Lorelei, and I think deep down you always knew you weren't like you're family."
"Hey!" I snapped, twisting in his grip and ignoring the pain. "You don't get to talk about my family, alright? They we're protecting me."
"By keeping you imprisoned?"
"By keeping me safe, by… by keeping others safe." I choked out.
"Hey, don't worry, ok? We'll teach you to control it-"
"Dyson!" Someone called of in the distance, the wolf turned us around in a circular motion that made me a bit queasy. "Oh thank god you're back, Bo and Kenzi had a run in with an under fae and I think he's still out on the loose, and -" The voice suddenly stopped, and I opened one eye to see what had happened. Standing before us was a tall blonde woman in a lab coat, she was looking at me strangely, almost enchantedly.
"Take a picture," I croaked, "It lasts longer."
"Is that… is she…?" The woman began.
"Yes," Dyson said, gruffly. "And don't get any funny ideas, Doc. She's not another experiment for your lab." That made me want to use whatever strength I had left to get the hell out of there, but Dyson's firm grip around me and protective tone made me feel a bit safer.
"Oh give it a rest Dyson, you know I wouldn't do that, I'm excited for this, for her… and for Bo." Who is this Bo?
"We've got a meeting with the Ashe, so tell Bo I'll find her later." Dyson started to turn away.
"Wait!" The doctor called, "she's sick, is she hungry?"
Why do people keep saying that?
"I had breakfast!" I protested, in the most pathetic of voices, my head rolled back into Dyson's neck.
"On second thought," Dyson began, "go get Bo, we might need her help on this."
Next thing I knew we were moving again, and after a while I was gently placed into a chair. My vision was becoming fuzzy, and all I could hear was a collection of voices coming from every direction. "Where is she?" Came an urgent voice, and through the haze that was my vision I could barely make out a tall, dark, figure.
"She's weak," I could hear Dyson say, "She needs to feed, but I don't think she knows how to control it yet."
The figure came towards me, and the second I felt its touch, something in me shifted. It was like immediate warmth was being rushed through my body, and affection, and something else, something deeper, like a sense of kinship. My vision started to clear, and suddenly I could see her face. Her dark brown hair and eyes, and smile. "W-who are you?" I managed to say, squirming under her grip.
"We'll get to that later ok? You just need to feed, and I'm going to help you."
"Why do people keep saying that, I literally had breakfast not too long ago, and it was a decent size-" I stopped breathing when I realized what was happening, the woman was inching towards me her eyes shutting.
The second I came to the full realization she was going to kiss me it felt like my entire body had been recharged. "No!" I screamed, shoving her back, which actually only shoved me backwards since I was in a chair. I went tumbling back, and scrambled across the floor to put as much distance between myself and the woman.
"It's ok, you won't hurt me!" She said softly, trying to step closer to me.
""No, no, no!" I screeched, my body was starting to feel weak again, and I continued to crawl farther and farther away. I could feel myself shaking, the tears starting to slip down my cheeks, and when I looked up an entire room of people were staring at me. I pulled my knees to my chest, and hugged them tightly, trying to hide my face. "Please," I sobbed, "I don't - I can't hurt anybody else!"
"Hey." I felt a hand on my shoulder and that warmth again, I wanted to push her away but all my strength was draining. "I promise you will not hurt me, but if you don't do this you will definitely be hurting yourself."
I was shaking uncontrollably now, and it was more because I knew I couldn't fight her, I couldn't fight it. The woman grabbed my face then, and just as I thought she was going to kiss me, I felt the energy transfer. The blue stream was pouring from her mouth to mine and I couldn't believe that I wasn't losing control, just when I'd regained all my strength, and was sure I'd take the last of hers, she shoved me back. I couldn't believe it, she stopped me, she'd pushed me back.
"How?" I breathed, looking at her. "No one's ever done that before."
"My name is Bo Dennis, and I think we've got a lot to talk about, Lorelei Tell."
