I took one last step before collapsing on the leaves the clung to the forest ground. I could feel my hands and feet shaking along with the rest of my petrified body, as I lay face down clenching the dead, fragile leaves. No matter how many times, or how hard I tried to push myself back to my feet, body gave in and let me lay back in the same spot.
I hadn't realized I was screaming in pain until I finally gave up and tried to relax my body. Running miles and miles to get away from one thing can be exhausting.
Once I was able to again I began to drag myself across the ground using only my hands to pull through the damp dirt and dry leaves that lay on top. The things in my hair clung to low branches through the forest and made me yelp in pain as it ripped through my hair.
I started to hear footsteps crack the leaves not far away from where I crawled. I looked behind me only to let my ears hear even more of what I feared was behind me. I dragged myself faster through the now mossy ground and lifted myself just high enough to lean against a thick, vine covered tree. I held my mouth closed with my hand to muffle the small whimpers that escaped my mouth. I closed my eyes fighting the urge to scream out of fear and give away my location.
The footsteps started to get closer and louder, and my whimpers as well. Bushes ruffled, and trees raddled getting closer as I held my breath. A small rabbit jumped out of a bush causing me to jump and turn towards it. I felt relived knowing it wasn't what I thought it was and dropped my limp hand back to my side. I took a deep breath before I found myself being grabbed by the waist and lifted into someone's arms. I let out a loud cry before having then clap a rag over my face and then seeing nothing but black.
My vision was blurry and distorted while I blinked to see if anything changed. But, the more I tried the worse it seemed to get and the less I could see. My body felt numb and I couldn't move much, but I managed to sit up and look around the blurred room. There wasn't much to look at, only a black wooden table I was laid on and another one that sat next to me. A woman no taller than five seven lay on the table. She didn't look any older than me probably around fourteen with black hair. Her skin was a light olive color, and her eyes were closed while she was strapped down to the table. I could tell she was breathing because of the way her chest moved slow and steady and quiet wisps of air escaped her nose.
My head throbbed with questions along with pain.
I heard quiet footsteps from a door, which lead to an unknown, get closer and louder. I began to hear voices and quiet talking that probably just started since I couldn't hear it earlier. I could tell one was a man and the other was a woman both sounding like they were in their twenties.
"I'll let you choose this time." The man's deep husky voice sounded annoyed.
"Not much to choose from." The girl chuckled before the door swung open. They stopped dead in their tracks to see me sitting up wide awake.
The man was no more than six feet, had a few short hairs coming out of his chin, and had slightly tanned skin. He didn't look much older than me maybe nineteen at the most. The woman looked only about sixteen and had long black flowing hair that hung to her perfectly round butt. The man wore a black leather jacket over a white t-shirt and thick baggy jeans, and greasy leather boots, and the woman wore booty shorts and a yellow tank top that said the words 'I hate preps' across her breasts, with no shoes.
The man took a step forward holding out his hand and saying, "Sh," to calm me down. He got closer to me and walked around me sizing me up like he was about to rape me. I gulped causing him to laugh and stand behind me. I felt his hot breath smelly breath on my neck and dust across my ear before he spoke into it.
"You are to good to pass up." His voice was sick a twisted just like the rest of him. I couldn't move even if I wanted to.
I glanced around the room to see a pair of rusty scissors lay next to the table. The girl was watching me from the front so I didn't look at them for to long scared she would follow my gaze.
The man brushed my hair from around my neck and pushed his rugged, chapped lips to it. I felt a small tear roll down my cheek before I elbowed him in the rib and jumped off the table as I heard him yelp in pain. I forgot how bad my legs were and fell in my attempt to get the scissors. I reached for them just in time to turn around and stab the girl in the leg before crawling over to the guy. I locked my arms around his leg and yanked on it having him fell to the floor. On his way down he hit his head on the table I was lying on before and held his head in pain. While both of them were on the floor I pushed myself up with every bit of energy I had and limped out the door, faster than I though I would go.
I opened the door to find nothing, but forest and trees, that looked like it would go on for miles.
"That bitch!" I heard the man yell from inside the small brown house I just limped out of. I took off as fast I could and into the forest.
After a few minutes of running and adrenaline rushes I picked up my speed dramatically, not running with a limp at all. But, I knew once I stopped I would feel the pain I did earlier, if not worse.
"UGH!" The man's voice boomed through the woods. I screamed in terror and kept running.
I ran into something I though was a tree until I felt what it really was. I screamed and hit the man that stood in front of me even though I couldn't see him. I could feel that he was shirtless and his skin felt hotter than a normal humans would.
"Calm down!" His voice was different from the man who just held me captive. I stopped panicking enough to open my eyes and realize how tall the boy was. Tall or not he didn't look older than me by much, maybe a year or so. He had amazingly tan smooth skin, his muscles ready to pop out at any moment. I took a step back to examine his face. His eyes were a beautiful chocolate brown; his short hair was as black as the girls on the table next to the one I sat on before. His features were perfect although he stared at me blankly with his big brown eyes.
"Jake what happened?" I heard a voice ask from behind me. I quickly jerked my head around to see four guys of different age, all looking older than the guy that stood in front of me. They looked like they could be brothers from the big size, tan skin, and almost the same features. They looked at the guys face in front of me looking blankly at me, now with his mouth hanging halfway open.
The one in front began to laugh and shook his head. "Dude!" He suddenly yelled finally getting the boy's attention. He flickered his vision to the people behind me and shook his head.
"What?" he asked calmly.
"What happened?" the one that stood behind the one that laughed.
"Um, hello?" I interrupted. It was already starting to hurt to stand up meaning my adrenaline rush was wearing off quickly.
Everyone turned their attention to me confused.
The last one to talk stepped forward. "Sorry," He apologized. "Who are you?"
"Why don't you tell me who you are first?" My voice was horse and cracking from all the screaming and yelling I did.
"My name's Sam," He introduced himself. "You are?"
"My name's Mitchy, and I have no idea where I am or how I got here." I admitted.
"She looks like hell," the one in front spoke again. I knew he meant to either say it to himself or to say it for only them to hear, but I picked up on it.
"Hey!" I complained stepping forward.
"How did you hear that?" He cocked his eye brow.
I took a step back and shrugged. "I just did." How would I sound if I told people I don't even know that I was a fairy?
"That's Paul," Sam pointed to the four people as he said their names. "Jared, Jacob, and Embry," He finished the names. He pointed to the guy that stood in front of me when he said Jacob. "What are you doing out here."
I heard a loud yell of rage boom through the woods, my eyes widened. "Oh no," I turned to start running again but I was stopped by Jacob grabbing my arm.
He stared ahead of me from where the yell came from and the man from earlier tumbled through the trees. My adrenaline rush kicked in again as he made his way over to me. He held on tightly to my wrists and tried yanking me again. Jacob's arms found my waist as he shook. Jacob shook so hard it hurt to have him hold onto me; not that I minded. I ripped my hands away, and Jacob's shaking eased up a little bit.
"What the hell is the matter with you?" The man demanded. I didn't say anything before I sent my foot to his crotch and watched him fall to the ground faster that my foot did. I removed Jacob's arms from around me when he stood back up and grabbed the guys head.
"Most doctors lie and say things aren't going to hurt, but I don't lie." I pause at his shocked face. "This is going to hurt." I said before I head budded him and heard a crack before watching him fall to the ground. I turned to the four guys on the other side of the small clearing we stood in, in the middle of the woods, all having wide eyes.
"Woah," Paul laughed looking between me and the guy on the ground.
"I have to get out of here." I quickly said before trying to take off. Jacob's hand was immediately around my tiny wrist and pulling me back to face everyone.
"Who is that?" He asked quietly.
"I just met you, I don't have to let you know anything about my personal life!" I snapped yanking my wrist away. "And I don't know who it is." I admitted.
"What were you running from before?" He asked a different question.
"Why are you asking me so many questions?"
"I just want to know." His voice was warm and inviting.
I sighed. "That guy," I pointed to the guy that was still knocked out on the ground. "Put me in a room with another girl. I woke up and he came in and tried to rape me. I got away and ran into you." I admitted pointing to Jacob. Then my legs gave in on me again. I almost fell to the ground but found myself being lifted back up by Jacob and set back on my feet. I still held onto him keeping my balance and making sure I wasn't going to fall again.
"What's wrong with her?" The one named Jared asked stepping forward.
"I was running from him before he captured me, and I ran from Port Angeles to where ever this is." I said gesturing to the woods around me.
"You're in La Push," Someone spoke from the four guys that stood in front of me. I couldn't see which one's mouth moved.
"Maybe Jacob should take you to his house." Sam spoke up. I could tell I was a little confused, but I shrugged knowing it was probably my best bet to get food and be able to shower for the first time in two days. "We'll take care of this guy." Sam said pointing to the guy that lay on the ground.
I nodded my head, before the guy grabbed ahold of my leg and Jacob's shaking began again, only this time harder. He let go of me and I heard a loud ripping sound when the guy yanked hard at my leg making me fall next to him.
