Chapter one
My heart was thumping loud against my chest, I thought it would explode. I was running for my life, I couldn't let him catch me again, if he did I knew my life would be over, he warned me never to escape again if I did there would be serious consequences. I couldn't risk being in that place any more, I couldn't stand to be violated against my own will, I had to escape for myself and for my friend, she risked her life to protect my secret, I couldn't let her down, I couldn't let her death be in vain, she died protecting me it was the least I could do for her. Still it was horrific watching them tear her to shreds for not telling them what they wanted.
So here I am running for my life against the most evil and cruel person ever to be born, I wished I never went on that trip now, if I didn't she would still be alive now. GOD Ria stop dwelling on the past, what's done is done can't change it now everything happens for a reason. *Snap* "What was that?" I said "Can't stop now, can't let them get me." I tripped and face planted on the wet slippery grass "Come on I can see some light over there maybe if I can reach it, before they reach me" I ran for my life to reach that light. Something moved in the corner of my eye and I knew they had found me "Oh shit they've found me" Something caught my leg and a sharp pain grabbed my leg, it felt like a wolf was biting my leg and was playing a game of 'tug of war' with it. "Shit I'm caught in a bear trap" I looked around to find something to pry open the bear trap...nothing "HELLLLPPPP" I screamed at the top of my voice hoping that the owners of that light would come out and find me. I heard footsteps around me, they had found me. Just before darkness crept over me two pairs of bare feet appeared I heard someone say "What is she doing out here?" it was a deep male voice, the other person took a step closer to me "Her leg is caught in that bear trap there, What should we do?""Heellpp mee" I said in a tiny voice before the voices behind caught up.
I felt strong arms around me; I couldn't panic all my energy was used up on the run. The pressure on my leg was released, I then realised that my leg was free from the bear trap, I tried to escape the strong arms around but couldn't find the strength within, and I knew I was at their mercy. The strong arms around me tightened as voices from behind came closer and before I knew it we took off into the woods, as I finally let the darkness in I saw a light and before I knew it I was gone.
It felt like days passed by, when I woke up from unconsciousness, I was surrounded with beeping from monitors, the room had white walls and ceiling, I noticed a tall, lean figure sitting in the chair beside my bed, I shifted quietly so the stranger didn't wake up from what looked like a much need sleep. Footsteps quickly approached the door, as the door opened a medium built man walked in, he looked well into his late 40s early 50s, and I didn't recognise any of the men from last night. LAST NIGHT, oh my god are these people here to make sure I don't escape again; oh please I hope they are friends with the men from last night. There was a loud knock at the door, the stranger walked to the door and opened it wide enough to check who it is, when he was satisfied he opened the door wide to let the visitor in.
A small female walked in she had auburn coloured hair, bright green eyes, high cheekbones, full lips and a large belly. LARGE BELLY wait she's with child, this changes everything. I stare wide eyed at the women; she brushes off my stare as she moves towards the sleeping stranger. "Greg wake up" she said, the stranger in the chair stirred but didn't wake up, "GREG WAKE UP!" she said again, this time the stranger woke straight away, as he opened his eyes, I was blown away by the sight of his eyes one was an ice blue while the other was the colour of amber and instantly I was lost in those colourful orbs, he had short silky light brown hair, I immediately wanted to run my fingers through the fine strands.
The woman told Greg to go back to the house and rest, Greg got up from the chair and walked towards the door, he hesitated at the door, the woman now sat in the chair "It's alright I can look after her, Alex knows I'm here and I have John here if anything goes wrong" she said. Greg looked relieved as he exited I saw a hint of sadness on his face, before I could see anymore he shut the door quietly, leaving only his scent of spicy cinnamon wood behind. The woman in the chair turned toward me "My name is Elise, and don't worry you're safe now child" she said "W..Where am I?"
"You're in the infirmary" she said
"What Happened?"
"You tell me, we found you half conscious in the woods, you lost quite a lot blood if we didn't get to you in time you would've died out there in the cold"
"I...I was running from..." I trailed off
"Who was you running from?"
"...from..." I hesitated, tears started swelling in my eyes, and I sniffled
"What did they do to you?" Elise said
I ignored that question as it brought back horrible memories, Elise must have notice my face change expression as she changed the subject.
"How long have you been trapped?"
"I...I don't know. What's the date?"
"It's August 18th 2014" she said
I sighed "two years then". Elise looked at the clock, and then back at me, we've only been talking for 10 minutes did her all ready hate being near me.
"Where did you think you was going?"
"Huh...?"
"When you was running in the woods last night, where was you going?"
"Any where away from them, I guess. There was a light I thought maybe it was a house and then my leg got trapped in the bear trap..." I looked down to my injured leg.
"Don't worry about your leg it has been taken care of, you're lucky the trap didn't snap your leg in two"
The man John turned to Elise "It's time to go you don't want to worry the alpha"
"No you're right Alex would be pissed if I was late, anyway I know this is late but what is your name child?"
I hesitated, Elise got up from the chair with the help of John as she approached the door,
"Ria... My name is Ria" I said in a tiny voice too quiet to hear. Elise must've heard it as she turned and smiled at me, showing a perfect row of white teeth, then Elise and John exited the room leaving me to my thoughts.
Blood was gaping from my wound, it was the same dream I have been having since the kidnapping happened, I don't know why this dream keeps repeating, it's always the same one. I was standing in the middle of a field around me my comrades fought in battle with the enemy, a figure approached me and I lifted my dagger ready to swing if they came any closer and as always the tall lean figure stepped out of the darkness and that's where I remembered his face, it wasn't his face that made me remember but his eyes one was ice blue and the other was the colour of ambers I instantly recognised this man to have been Greg, who only slept a couple of hours ago in the chair next to my bed. As the dream carried on my dagger was lifted ready for the attack that never came, a huge gush of windswept mine and Greg's way ruffling up his mousy brown mop, his eyes filled with love and fear, for what came next freighted me, my dagger dropped out of my hand as pain started to grow from my hands and I noticed my nails lengthen into animal like claws, pain erupted from everywhere, I heard my bones crack and lengthen, my clothes started ripping from the stunned growth in limbs, fur started growing and before I knew the transformation had happened there was another loud crack of bones and groaning. As I landed on four feet the transformation was complete I was turned into the creature I was running from, the creature I tried to hide from, the creature that always caused pain in my life, I tried to contain the Lycan in me and the mistakable other beast that cursed threw my veins. Many people never knew what I could do, what I was born to do, what I was created for... the other beast to my Lycan side was the vampire, I was accidently created when my father feel in love with Andora my mother a full blooded vampire, people said their love was forbidden and doomed but it happened anyway, a month after I was born the lore court accused my mother of inbreeding and falling in love with the enemy and was sentenced to death, my father, the alpha of the largest Lycan pack, he was sentenced to exile from the pack and any other packs around the world, my parents protected me by giving me to an orphanage, where five years later a young couple found me. My dream continued with the battle, when I opened my eyes, everything was more defined and outlined, what caught my attention was the beast that stood in Greg place, the creatures eyes captured me the most the blue was more defined and the amber was glowing bright, his fur was mousy brown, he had three white socks, and a white snip on his muzzle. My brain kicked in gear to flee; I stumbled a couple of times to get use to my new legs and took off like a scared rabbit. I jumped over a pair fighting in-hand combat. I fled to the edge of the field and was tackled by the beast; he tried to force me into submission.
I awoke from my weird, repetitive dream, my eyes settled to the darkness quickly, that's where I heard the light snoring in the corner where the sofa rested, my vision quickly changed and I was able to see in the dark and there laid the tall lean figure that sat next to me earlier, I looked at the clock on the wall it was 3 in the morning, I quickly relaxed knowing the sleeping stranger wouldn't hurt me. The door opened ajar and a tall, medium built man caught my eye and ushered me to come out. I slowly got out bed my knees felt heavy and I stumbled from the lack of use in them, I quickly recovered and found myself to walk with ease, I opened the wide enough for me to get out of careful not to wake the sleeping stranger. As I exited the room I was met by a brick wall.
A grumble sound came from the brick wall; I looked up and was meet by a deep pools of green.
"Stand down Rick" a deep and affirmative voice said.
Rick turned to the side revealing the lone voice, there stood a man with shaggy brown hair, he was well muscled (well he is really muscled). His eyes were captivating they were the same as Gregs.
"The name is Alex. And if you didn't know this big oaf is Rick he's my Beta" he said
