FINALLY! I DID not give up on this story! And you're stupid if you thought I would actually bail on this story. This chapter...*sighs*...this chapter, hell it surprised ME, so i have no idea what it will do to you. Folks, get you tissues ready!
I own nothing, but my Imag-I-Nation
Enjoy My Loves!
(Sam POV)
I closed my eyes as I rested my head against the window of the plane.
But I quickly opened them, everytime I closed my eyes, I saw the images. I heard the screams. The screams if my love. I could never escape the sound of my imprint screaming in pain, the sound of my love yelling out my name, begging for me to come for him.
Threatening those fucking monsters if they so much as tried to take him it will be their first day in hell.
He held strong, but I could see the fight leaving in his weary body.
I'm coming Embry... Don't give in. I thought, wishing Embry could hear me.
A quiet growl rumbled in my chest. Yes, I had been depressed about my mate. I felt pain no human being could handle, but now... I was pissed. Pissed was an understatement. I took a deep breath to keep myself under control. It wouldn't be a good idea to phase inside a plane. Especially if it was the Cullen's private plane and if the plan so happened to crash due to my phasing, how would you explain a plane full of ' humans' surviving a crash landing of that magnitude without so much a broken bone or a small scratch.
As we made our way to Volterra the need to save my imprint grew and grew. I couldn't shake what I had seen on those videos out of my head, and I never would be able to. I could never forget the pain in those beautiful eyes.
I had asked the Doc to show me the videos.
God I wish I never asked that. But I had to see. He hesitatingly played the videos on the big screen in his living room, what I saw... was burned in my mind forever.
The first of the videos I saw Embry and the Cullen boy in a large vacant throne room. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears when Cullen agreed to take Embry's punishment. It seemed as though he knew Embry would not have fully survived what they had planned for him. The young Cullen willingly gave his body so my imprint wouldn't have to endure someone violating his body again. I …I had no words for what I just saw.
This Cullen was the reason for everything that has taken place but I would never, never wish something such as that upon someone when I knew every well how damaging it can be. Especially seeing Embry go through it.
I turned my head at a chocking sound to see the doctor's chest heaving, sobbing sounds held within his body, and shaking his head as though he was desperately trying to raid his mind of the images flashing behind his closed lids.
His son, though the cause of everything made a sacrifice that I would ask of no one, for that I was thankful and truly indebt to him. Cullen didn't deserve this type of pain just as Embry didn't, I knew Cullen's intentions were pure, like all of us he wanted loved, but he was easily tricked. I couldn't fault him for something all of us yearn for. However, I still felt anger towards the Cullen's even if we considered them good vampires. My mate was gone because of them.
The videos continued.
Oh god... his screams, the sounds of a breaking angel. My angel. I swear, I thought I could hear my heart literally break. But I forced myself to watch; to not look away. I watched him get whipped, hearing the sound of the leather snake breaking my imprint's skin, drawing his blood. Breaking his body.
Trying to fucking claim what was mine.
My body.
He belonged to me.
But it didn't stop. The videos went on. I felt the burn in my chest intensify, as I watched him touch my imprint. But Embry struggled. My strong little pup. He shouldn't have to go through this; he never did anything to deserve this.
The words he screamed, I knew were always going to haunt me.
"Please, stop! Please!"
"Don't touch me!"
"Sam!"
"Sam..."
Tears burned my eyes, but I didn't let them fall. I was done falling apart.
As the video went on, his yells turned to whimpers. If I thought the screams were horrible, those whimpers were ten times worse. Quiet...broken...cries. And I just didn't have words. I was speechless. Covered in blood, and tear stained face, he wanted to give up... I saw it, to let go. He wanted release. But I wouldn't let him go... and I think he knew that.
It was probably the only reason he hadn't given in yet. A new guilt ran through me. He was enduring pain, excruciating pain. He was being whipped... burned... touched... tortured... because of me. He didn't want to let go either. And I knew he would fight to the death.
I just hoped it wouldn't come to that.
I sighed. I put the memory in the back of my mind, for now.
The plane had landed. The whole way to Volterra had blurred. I hadn't paid attention, as only one thing was on my mind; one person.
Soon, we were deep in the forest that lay on the outskirts of Volterra. We were maybe 20 miles away from the city, but distance didn't matter to me. I had phased with the rest of the pack when the pixie told me this whole thing had to be planned out perfectly. We had a limited amount of time as she finished thoroughly explaining the plan to everyone. Then the Major vampire spoke up that no one, and he meant anyone that was involved with what was going on with Embry and Edward was to be killed unless completely necessary, necessary in the sense they were close to killing us first.
What he said pissed me off because Emily and that bear fucker were going to pay with their lives the first chance I got to have my hands on them. But before I could truly announce how pissed off I was about what he said and that I wasn't going to do it, the doctor vampire intervened.
"Jasper, you can't be serious. We need to get Embry and Edward out of their as fast as possible and leave. Why…" I could see the doctor was becoming irritated as he started moving closer to the Major and swinging the medical bag he had brought back and forth but the pixie placed a hand on his shoulder giving him a stern warning.
"Do not dare to question my motives, you do as I say. Carlisle you will attend to the Alphas and my mates with the help of Rosalie since she is the only one who also understands what is going on with their bodies as much as you do. All of you will not kill them unless it is necessary. The Alpha and I have personal meetings we need to hold with them." He finished as his eyes connected with mine, seeking conformation that I knew what he meant. I nodded my head at him.
I knew what he meant. He planned to make them pay and I was all game, however sadistic it may be. And from the fear I knew the other vampires and my pack was obviously giving off, they understood he had something sick planned. From the small smirk on his face was all the conformation I needed to know what he was thinking, he was getting off on that fear and basking in the possibilities of what he had planned.
His cold black eyes looked with doctor first and then everyone one else. "Do I make myself clear?"
Everyone mumbles a yes Major.
Some would call him evil and vial, though he was those things, to me he was the Alpha of their kind, and he could do whatever the fuck he wanted. I would do the very same if I was still the Alpha of my pack. To me he was just one bad motherfucker just as I was.
Alice interrupted this silence looking pointy at me before she turned to go talk to her family. "Sam make damn sure you go for Embry first. You'll know where to follow his scent."
That bitch Emily and the other son of a bitch I had seen in the video weren't going out for a hunt, they wanted to spend time with my imprint. Tonight was the night they were finally going to try to break him.
I growled at that thought, my hackles rising.
I heard light footsteps coming towards me.
"Sam? Five minutes." The pixie spoke quietly.
I took a deep breath, raising my head. My paws itched to run, to go to my imprint. To kill the motherfuckers that touched my imprint. I heard the pack's paws pad behind me, and the Cullen's and long with the extra vampires they brought with them move next to us. I took a deep breath and heard the pixie vamp countdown. The timing had to be exact... we only had one shot.
"3... 2... 1"
And we took off, the pack running in sync. I needed my mate, but they needed their brother as well. We covered the distance almost instantly. As we entered the last mile, I heard pixie run up next to me.
"We're taking an underground tunnel. It's coming up in 20 seconds!" She warned us before going back to running with the Cullen's.
The Volterra walls came into view, and I scanned my eyes for the tunnel. Instead of slowing down, we sped up. Soon, we were running in the tunnel and kept going until we reached the end. The pixie Cullen moved and climbed up a ladder, and opened up a door. The Cullen's went through before the pack and I easily jumped through. I looked around and realized we were here.
In the hell hole that my imprint has been trapped in for months.
I'm coming Embry, I'm coming...
"Ok, Carlisle, and Rosalie will go with Sam and Jasper to get Edward and Embry. The rest of you have to make sure Emily, Demetri, Felix and Aro don't escape before Sam and Jasper can get their hands on them." The pixie explained.
" The others in the guard do not plan on coming back to anytime soon but please make sure you are alert just in case. I will do what I can to inform everyone if something changes. Wolf pack make sure you stand guard on the first level and the others will be just outside the wall. Now go!"
I closed my eyes and focused. This castle was enormous; it was almost impossible to catch a scent. Plus, Embry could be anywhere. But I knew that all I had to do was follow that pull. The pull that's been tugging painfully for months now. The pixie said I would know where he was.
Suddenly, I heard a faint, almost inaudible scream. It seemed to be on the other side of the castle, or even downstairs. But I knew that scream.
Embry.
I took off without warning, but I could hear Carlisle and the others follow behind me. I ran fast and hard, so much so my big paws made indents in the marble floor. I passed so many stair cases, so many doors, and so many corridors. So many scents confused me, but I kept following the tug in my heart that intensified as I got closer.
Finally, I heard another scream, coming from down a staircase. I realized I was in a pretty deserted part of the castle, a part that seemed haunted with past souls that must have been ended in this horrible place. I crouched down as I looked down the dark, concrete staircase. I looked at the others, making a noise through my nose telling them to keep quiet as I listened. Jasper came up silently next to me, listening too.
Then I hear another cry, a cry that only belonged to my love, my imprint. My hackles rose as I silently made my way down the steps. I may be a huge wolf, but I was capable of keeping silent while walking. I knew I couldn't rush, I had to be patient.
I quickly but silently I made my way down the staircase first, the others following behind me. We reached the bottom of what seemed to be a dungeon. There were two hallways, and two scents leading in them. One dark corridor had I scent I recognized to be Edwards and the other corridor had my imprints scents.
"Go with Samuel, Carlisle and Alice. Peter and Rosalie come with me, now go." Ordered the Major quietly enough for only us to here.
The Doc nodded and we started down the black hall. We crept into the darkness of this hell hole, getting closer and closer to my imprint. I heard the shuffling of bloodsucking fuckers stop. When they stopped I stopped. We had stopped at the doors of some cell like room. They're whispers stopped and it was complete silence.
I glanced over to the Doc, who nodded.
I ran through the door, completely knocking it down. The two vamps looked at me. I pounced on them without so much as an ounce of hesitation. But they were quick and dodged the attack. I growled something that sounded more like a roar. They smirk at me in the dark before flitting through another door of the dark chamber.
I made a move to go after them until I heard a small whimper. I froze and turned towards the sound.
My imprint.
The Doc was working on him, but the look in his eyes... was almost dead. He looked so far away, so worn, so ready to give.
Embry... I thought.
He was on a metal table, strapped down. His body covered in blood, bruises... cuts... burns... I felt tears well up and slide down my fur. He looked up at me with those striking blue-silver eyes, but he looked so far away, almost looking through me. My heart broke all over again. He looked like he'd given up.
Don't give up Em, I'm here... I thought, hoping he heard. As I nudged him with my nose, letting my breath wash over him.
"Sam, you have to go catch them. If you don't get them now, you'll never get a chance to. I'll take care of Embry. Go Sam." Carlisle said softly.
I looked at him. He was right. If I didn't go catch them now, I would never get my revenge, for Embry and I both. I gave one last look at Embry. Hesitantly, I turned around and took off in the direction the other vamps had gone through. I ran through the door and followed their sickening scent.
I ran faster, not willing to let them get away. I followed their scent up the long staircase. Soon I was running on the marble floor again. I stopped as I reached two hallways; one with Emily's sent, and the other hall with the other vamps. I growled and went after Emily's, sprinting down the corridor at top speed.
After a few turns I caught up with her, seeing her red cloak blur in front of me. I pushed my legs to go faster and when I was close enough, I pounced. I landed on her, and hooked my teeth into her neck, throwing her against the wall. I growled, baring my teeth as I stalked towards her again.
In the distance I could hear the others catching the other vampire that was in the other room.
I refocused my attention to this thing that took away my imprint, had taken away my reason for living. She hurt Embry, my Embry.
I pressed my huge paw over her neck, taunting her. I could tell she was too in shock to use her gift and the fact that is seemed as though another force was controlling her too also helped. Maybe it was the Major.
Doesn't feel too god to be controlled, does it?
I lifted my paw and swiped her across the cheek, like I had done a long time ago. But this time there wasn't an ounce of guilt, because it felt good.
" H... he scr-reamed like a l-little bitch. Y-You left m-me for a.. a slut ." She hissed with a smirk.
My lip curled and I swiped her face again. Her screams were a symphony to my ears.
Even throughout that, she refused to shut up.
"D-Demetri s-said he was t-tight. Said h-he had a velvet th-throat." She sneered with another growing smirk on her ruined face.
I growled and bit into her arm, slowly ripping the iced limp off.
You liar... I thought.
She scooted away as I stalked her again.
"You can k-kill me... b-but h.. he'll never get over what we did to him." She said sadistically.
I ignored her and hooked my canines in her leg, slowly tearing it from her iced body. The wails of pain that came from her were definitely satisfying me.
You're going to burn. I thought.
I noticed a lighted torch on the wall, I made my way to it transforming into my human form. I did want to punish her slowly, but I was so clouded by my hate that I needed to kill her instantly. Before I could bring the lighted fire other to her twitching body, I felt the presence of one of my pack members reminding me the words of the Major and that I really needed to go to Embry and they would take care of Embry. I would have to thank Leah later for that.
I took off at her mention of my mate.
With that thought in my mind I raced to where I could hear my mate whimpering, but these whimpers were different, so very different. I reached the room only to find everyone, some of the Cullen's and the pack in what could only be described as in a state of pure shell shock. Even the doctor seemed to be frozen in his place, his eyes locked onto something very horrific. I followed his gaze and what I saw would forever be imprinted into my mind.
Embry, my Embry laid in a convulsing mess of uncontrolled movements. His screams echoing throughout the palace, so deafening we all couldn't help but cover our ears. His body…his stomach looked as if it was caving into itself, but yet protruding out at the same time in an abnormal state. The skin on his stomach was stretching and peeling as through acid had been poured into him. Then I remember the smell of him when I first came to him and touched his body. It smelled of vampire venom.
I couldn't even move my body as my mate spread himself out even more, stretching his limp legs, screaming in intense pain as blood pooled from his mouth. Embrys' once medium rich mocha skin turned a terrible green and blue.
I closed my eyes, trying to covey my love for my mate, giving him the last amount of peace and contentment I held within my body.
I could hear the pack crying and begging around me, none of them dared approach Embry or myself. I felt overwhelming emotions that almost brought me to my knees. Shriving sobs that I couldn't stop rumbled from my body. But nothing, nothing could have prepared me from what I saw coming ….
In that second, for the first time in imprinting history…I knew I would have to be the first to have to kill their imprint.
So I bared my teeth.
Ok if you decide to kill me, then who will there be to write the rest of this story. Is Sam gonna kill Embry, or is there gonna be a twist? Stay tuned and REVIEW to find out. and thanks times a million to my beta, Jaspered01.
