Oliver POV
The sound of a twig snapping nearby caused me to jump up off the log I was sitting on. They were back earlier then I thought they would be. Rushing over to the sleeping Felicity, I called her name out.
"Felicity," I whispered giving her a gentle shake, "we need to move." No response came from her. Looking down at her chest, I saw she wasn't breathing.
"Felicity?" I asked panic rising in my voice. I gave her another shake. "Felicity!" I screamed.
"No, no, no this can't be happening," I said loudly. I heard footsteps behind me getting closer. They stopped after a second and I felt their eyes boring into the back of my skull
"Trespassers! Make this easier on yourselves by surrendering," the man who called himself Kai boomed as he loomed right behind me. His grey wolf was right beside him and looked ready for an order.
Their voices were drowned out by the image of Felicity laying motionless on the ground. Seeing her like this was sending me into a fit of denial. "Felicity, you have to wake up," my voice shakily spit out as I gave her body another rough shake. I pulled her body up to mine and wrapped it into a hug. Tears had formed in my eyes and quickly made their way down my face.
I felt something place a tight grip on the back of my shirt as I was reluctantly ripped away from her. Her body lifelessly slumped back into a recumbent position on the blanket.
Kai made a tsking noise with his tongue as he walked around in front of me and bent down. I felt Asena hot breath on my skin from where her sharp teeth were holding my shirt tightly. Kai looked me up and down as if he was sizing me up. He took his hand and squeezed my cheeks together making my lips purse. Roughly, he jerked my head side to side.
"I was looking forward to killing the both of you. Now I'm stuck with a sorry excuse of a man. What a disappointment. I guess I could kill you slow as punishment for letting the female die. What do you think Asena?" Kai asked the wolf. He removed his hand from my cheeks as he studied me with his eyes.
A snarl sounded from the wolf causing its lips to tremble against my skin. A sadistic smile spread across Kai's face as he twirled a small knife in his hand. I had a feeling the wolf had agreed to the slow death sentence Kai had proposed.
"Hold the trespasser as I check the female," Kai ordered the beast. Standing up, he made his way over to Felicity's still body. He bent down and placed the side of his head on her chest to check her breathing and listen to her heart. After listening for a few seconds, he rose his head off her chest. His fingers brushed a strand of her blonde off of her face. A snarl escaped from my lips as his fingers made contact with her skin.
"I really wanted to kill her," he muttered sounding disappointed. He looked over at me as if I was to blame. His eyes pierced mine as he gave me a look of disgust.
"Don't touch her," I spat with malice in my voice. His eyebrow raised at my hostility.
"I do whatever I please on my island. Asena, let's get ready to move the outsider," he ordered standing up. He walked away from Felicity's lifeless body and past me. Using the strength I had, I broke free of the wolf's grip. The sound of fabric ripping resounded from in my ears as I dove for Felicity's body. I gave her another shake hoping something would wake her up. I buried my head in her hair as sorrow shook my body.
A wave of pain shot through my arm as sharp teeth bore down into my skin. "Easy Asena, I'll take him."
The painful grip was released causing the pressure on my arm to be slightly relieved. Glancing over I saw a few puncture wounds oozing a dark red substance. My reprieve was short as I was forced up on my feet. A sharp blade had found its way to my throat as a voice whispered in my ear.
"Don't make me lose my temper," Kai threatened sounding ready to snap. Staying completely silent, I waited for him to calm down. Seeming satisfied with my silent response, he gave me a hard push forward causing me to stumble.
"Try anything and Asena will rip your vocal chords out," he sneered as I regained my footing. With his knife at the ready, he lead me away from Felicity and into the jungle. We walked for a good twenty minutes. Every now and then he would bark an order to turn a certain direction.
We stopped in an open area with a fire going. Stepping in front of me, Kai lifted up a door made of sticks off the ground. He roughly grabbed me and threw me into the pit.
"Asena," he shouted as he slammed the door shut over my head. "You've done a good job. Go reward yourself with that blonde on the beach. She's all yours." A happy sounding bark came from the wolf followed by receding footsteps.
I clenched my fists and beat against the door. I let out an incoherent shout as I realized the door was not going to give out. Placing my back against a dirt wall, I slumped down to the ground. I ran my hands across my sweaty forehead and let out a heavy breath.
"Be patient trespasser. I will be with you shortly," he remarked before walking away.
I needed to outsmart Kai. I couldn't let him win. The image of Felicity lying dead in my arms flashed in my brain. It seemed all too real. Seeing her like that was terrifying. She trusted me though, and thankfully this was all part of the plan.
A/N
Just wanted to thank everyone for making it this far into the story! I know this chapter was probably a slap in the face. I felt very evil while writing constructing it. The next chapter will be put up asap. The answers to all your questions will most likely be found in there. Stay tuned and feel free to leave a vote and a comment if you feel lead to!
