Chapter 13
Logan's POV
I waited pacing the living room waiting for Laurina to arrive.
I had a very very very bad feeling.
So I paced trying to convince myself that nothing was wrong that she'd arrive and everything would be alright. I had started to convince myself that it was just the fact that I hadn't been apart from her since we arrived until I heard the roar of a speeding car.
Jaime never drove that fast unless it was an emergency.
I wrenched the door open and ran to the car. Jaime's eyes were wide with worry as she slammed the car to a stop I ran to Rina side wrenching the door open I looked down.
She was passed out.
I checked her pulse as Jaime ran to the house and noticed it was pounding much to fast dragging her out of the car I picked her up bridal style. Running to the house following Jaime I ignored all the worried glances from the other pack members and ran up to the study where Jeremy and mom where talking. Laying her down on the couch I pressed my hand to her neck but I was to wired to notice a thing apart from the fact that her heart was still beating. Jaime was clutching a piece of paper to her chest her eyes wide but filled with worry. Jeremy came over and knelt down beside her checking her pulse and temperature we all waited I clutched her hand mom paced and Jaime clutched the piece of paper to her chest. Jeremy then declared
''She's fine, all she needs is some rest'' He looked up to Jaime
''What happened?'' She flopped down on the other couch and said
''We went grocery shopping because she had wanted to talk to me about something that had happened earlier. We talked a bit then after we bought the groceries we stopped at the post office where I got Laurina to go get the mail.'' She took a deep breath before continuing
''She came back with a couple envelope all were addressed to you Jeremy other then one. It was for her, I asked if anyone knew she was staying with the pack and she replied that only Savannah knew. I gave her the envelope and she smiled before looking down.'' She let out a little sound then continued
''Her eyes looked so worried she started shaking as she ripped it open and unfolded the paper. She stared at it and she started breathing faster. I took the paper out of her hands and read it and when I looked back she had passed out.'' Jaime's green eyes stared at Laurina.
''I panicked and drove here.'' She passed the letter to Jeremy and he gave her a hug before reading it out loud
'' Dear Laurina, I can't wait to see you it's been so long, what has it been three? And I have decided it's time for a visit.'' my blood boiled as I heard the next part. '' I hear your a wolf now what a shame... I'm sure we can fix that. I hope you haven't forgotten who I am. We'll see each other soon dear! Jonathan'' Jeremy finished reading and asked me and Elena
''Has she tolled you anything about a Jonathan?'' I shook my head. Then said
''He must have worked with her parents.'' Elena nodded, Jaime said
''Then we are probably dealing with a sorcerer.'' Everyone nodded. I looked back down at Laurina before pulling her up and laying her on my lap.
''It's gonna be alright'' I whispered, she whimpered and grabbed my shirt and pulled herself towards me. I looked up to mom who nodded, I picked her up and left the study then walked down the stairs to the second level of the house ignoring the others before opening the door and laying her down on her bed before wrapping my arms around her pulling her closer all the while whispering ''It's alright, we'll keep you safe''
Laurina's POV
I woke up smelling Logan. I slowly came to my senses and felt the strong arms that held me I nestled into his chest. I started shaking remembering the letter.
''It's alright Rina'' I almost laughed but started crying. Not the full out wailing that I so felt lie doing but just tears and soft sobs. And I buried my face in his chest and felt his arms tighten around me.
''no it's not.''I sobbed. I heard him growl, I let out a startled yelp as he flipped me over so I laid on my back I tried to get up but he pushed me down by my shoulders.
''Yes we can.'' I let out a sob
''No you can't'' he growled again and said
''Who is this man why are you so afraid of him?'' I sobbed
''He's a cruel man.'' Logan sighed and said
''Please can you explain whats going on?'' I looked up into his eyes the worry for me and the frustration at not knowing how to help was clear in his eyes. I paused watching all the emotions flash thru his eyes. I nodded taking a deep breath before saying.
''But no right now could you maybe get me some food?'' I added the last part sheepishly. He smiled nodding. As soon as I heard him walk downstairs I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen quickly writing down my apologies and thanks I placed it on the bed and I quietly ran over to the window it faced the back yard opening it quietly I hopped out of it.
Landing I grunted before running around the house and leaping over the fence. And running towards the road.
I'd heard the stories of how Elena had tried to escape. Cars always seemed to be where they waited for there runaway wolves...
So a car was out not one of my options.
I ran down the road at a steady pace. I heard Logan as he arrived in my room and found it empty he yelled that I was running.
Damn I'd hopped he'd take a bit longer to finish making that food.
I started sprinting. I couldn't let them get me. I knew what kind of risk I would be putting them in.
That's why I ran.
Ran away from the place that had made me happy after so many years of sadness. Aww now I sounded like a television drama.
I looked over my shoulder smelling and seeing nothing I slowed my pace. I could only here the distant sound of a car...
Ooh yup didn't think about that.
As I heard the car approach I jumped into the bushes. I watched the car drive by Logan was driving with the window open he had the most pissed off face I'd ever seen in my life he looked positively livid, he stopped a few feet in front of me before jumping out and running towards me.
I barrelled past him making it about two steps before he caught me around the waist throwing me over his shoulder he thru me in the car.
''WHAT THE HELL WHERE YOU THINKING!'' I whimpered and said in a small voice
''I was trying to keep everyone safe.'' He growled
''BY BECOMING A FUCKING MARTIR! HOW THE HELL DO YOU THINK WE WOULD FEAL IF WE FOUND OUT YOU DIED BECAUSE YOU WERE TRYING TO KEEP US SAFE!'' I looked down
''I was just trying to keep you all safe'' His face was red by now and he was huffing
''SO YOUR SAYING I WOULD HAVE TO WRITE ON YOUR TOMBSTONE 'HERE LIES LAURINA SHE WAS JUST TRYING TO KEEP US SAFE'!'' I pulled my knees up to my chest trying to keep the tears at bay and said
''Please don't be mad'' he sighed his anger seemed to leak out of him and he crawled in the car pulling me close.
''I'm sorry I got mad It's just, I. I. I can't loose you Laurina.'' I tried to smile but started crying. He wiped my tears away before sighing he picked me up and dumped me in the back then grabbed a pocket knife out of the glove compartment and grabbing the seat belt of one of the back seats and he cut a long part of it of and cut it in half so it was a long thin strip of fabric.
''What are you doing?'' I said the tears had stopped and now I was curiously frightened. I'd seen the exact same thing happen before he's different though. He frowned at me and said
''I'm sorry I can't let you run away.'' I felt my eyes widen. No he wouldn't.
''No!'' He knocked me down and flipped me over grabbing my arms he started tying them together with one strip of fabric.
''WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING.'' I screamed. Repeating over and over that he was different but Logan smiled sheepishly just like he had and started wrapping the rest of it around my wrists before securing it with a knot in the same way he had and said
''Sorry I can't let you run away again.'' I growled swallowing my fear and tried to knock him of my back I would prove to myself that I wasn't some helpless girl but he continued by tying the second piece to the other then wrapping it around my body and back to my wrist. I growled and struggled feeling trapped the more I struggled the tighter it was just like last time. I almost gagged from the amount of fear I swallowed. My heart pumped faster as he laid me down in the back of the car before crawling back to the front I rolled around trying in vain to undo the knot but the pain in my stomach was too much and I was forced to stop, just like last time.
-flash back-
I was in the car with Jonathan we sat in the front kissing. I had one hand in his long black hair and the other was touching his bare chest. He had one hand on my back and the other traced designs on my stomach. This made me shiver, ooh I loved this guy. He brought me to the back of the car and laid me down we kissed again.
Abruptly he flipped me on my back and I giggled.
''Jonathan what are you doing?'' He didn't say anything which was odd. When ever I asked him a question he always answered me. He grabbed a pocket knife out of the glove compartment and I swallowed.
''What are you doing'' He had a crazy look on his face he reached for the seat belt and cut it into piece then tied my hands then tied a noose around my stomach.
''Jonathan please please untie! Me whats going on?'' He laughed and said
''I can't let you run away like that other girl'' I Shocked remembering how my dad had told me about a half demon that had been rapped, killed and thrown in the bushes Jonathan had been a suspect but he'd ha an alibi. He grabbed his discarded shirt and gagged me with it before I could scream. He flipped me over and traced lines on my stomach with his pocket knife and I whimpered in pain tears streaming down my face.
He grabbed my neck with his hand and I sobbed he leaned in beside my ear breathing in I felt him lick my neck which made me shudder.
Who was this person? He can't be the Jonathan I know. He breathed in and said
''My, oh my I'll enjoy killing you''.
-End flash back-
Logsn shut the car door and started driving which made me pitch forward he pushed me back on the seat before I could fall and said simply
''if you try to use your arms you'll be making a noose around your stomach.'' I growled at him swearing and cursing feeling every bump in the road. I was fighting off the memory and tears leaked down my face as we drove I was facing the seat so he wouldn't see my tears that was like giving in. I made myself stop and think then I felt like laughing.
Magic! Duh! How had I forgotten! I almost did start laughing but then decided against it. I paused before starting to mumble the freeze spell. I stopped it before I finished and rolled off the seat and hit the floor at a very uncomfortable angle. He wrenched the car to a stop and reached over to help. I finished the spell and he froze. I smiled up at him and said
''Two can play this game'' He growled as I sat myself up and scooted over to the door. I reached as far as I could to open it I bit my lip against the pain and a tear leaked out of my eye as I finally reached the door handle. The seat belt was digging into my skin right over my old scars. I wrenched the door open and fell on my back. I moaned in pain and relief. In pain cause my spine landed on a pointy rock and relief because the pressure around my stomach was no more.
I looked around and determined that there was one good thing and one bad thing about my situation.
Good thing, my spell lasted and Jonathan no I mean Logan was still paralysed in the car.
Bad thing, Logan had pretty much dropped me off at the house and I was surrounded by the werewolves. I groaned and managed to get up on my feet. They all stared at me some at my stomach and some at my face trying to ease the tension I said
''Really? In the movies the heroine always make such an easy escape.'' I moaned. They all laughed and I sighed before saying. ''I'm not going back in there'' I saw Clay out of the corner of my eye and I turned to face him.
''Well I'm sorry to tell you darlin' but we are bringing you in that house whether you agree to it or not.'' I laughed and said
''You can try'' he lunged and I dodged kicking him in the gut which sent both of us to the ground. I groaned when I hit the ground and a couple people gasped. I smelled blood but it didn't seem to be Clay's I mumbled a spell to heal myself trying to get up. Clay stood up fast and came after me I was quick to get up but I wavered the dizziness wasn't helping. Finally arriving at a vertical position I jumped thru the lasso part of the restraint. My hands were still tied. But this made my panic leave, Clay charged and I dodged.
''who's magnificent Idea was it to tie you up like that?'' he asked sarcastically charging again
''your son.'' he laughed the rest of the pack was staring at my stomach I din't pause to wonder what they saw but I noticed the size of the fighting ring the'd made around us it was and okay size.
''Where is that son of mine.'' Clay asked, I giggled
''In the car.'' He charged and hit me in the stomach which was more painful then I'd like to admit. He hit right in the middle of my gut and landed straight on the searing line of fire this made me fly just to the edge of the ring. The skin on my hands was scrapped off and my concentration on the spell fell and I heard Logan roar and swing out of the car and charge towards the ring. I rolled away from the punch Clay thru at me and rolled straight into Logan who picked me up and thru me over his shoulder. The panic cam back.
''LET GO OF ME!'' he growled
''NO!'' I kicked him in the gut and he groaned but didn't let go.
''IT WASN'T A QUESTION!'' I screamed in his ear trying my best not to let the fear in. I struggled screamed and kicked as he walked up the stairs. He growled again but walked over to a room and slammed the door behind him he flipped me onto the bed and sat on my lower stomach and held my shoulders down and said in a deadly tone.
''I will untie your wrists if you stop struggling.'' I nodded desperately please let him be telling the truth. He flipped me over and I waited he still sat on the low part of my back I couldn't see though and that scared me more then anything. A minute or so later I still felt the fabric on my right wrist. He stepped of me and I tried to get up but fell. I growled my legs shook and he helped me up on the bed. Looking at the attachment on my wrist I saw that he'd secured my wrist to the extra piece of fabric which he attached to the bedpost. Panic ceased me but I covered it up I'm not a child I can get myself out of this.
''LOGAN LET ME GO!'' He smirked
''No'' I frowned it wasn't Logan there anymore it was Jonathan
-flashback-
After I managed to get the gag off I screamed for help but Jonathan slapped me I hit the window hard enough to stun me he took the opportunity to gag me with his shirt again and blind fold me with his own. I whimpered as he dragged me out of the car. I was terrified. He thru me over his shoulder and carried me up flights of stairs he opened a door and took the blindfold off. My knees shook and I fell forward. It was a room with a huge bed in the middle a four post bed with ropes already attached to each corner.
I struggled against him terror was gripping my limbs and I could barely move. He swung me onto the bed and sat on top of me tying my arms and legs to the posts. When ever I moved he'd slap me or punch me so I stopped. He took of the gag and I immediately started crying.
''Please.'' I cried ''Please just let me go!'' Jonathan stood over me smiling a big cruel smile he stood and grabbed his pocket knife again and said with the biggest smile,
''No''
-End flashback-
I shook my head and said angrily.
''You said you'd let me go!'' he replied
''You said you'd tell me who Jonathan is.''
-flash back-
''you said you'd let me go!'' He smirked and brought down the knife stabing me in the arm. I cried out and he said,
''where's the fun in that?''
-End flashback-
''I'll tell you if you let me go.'' he shook his head
''No, I'm not letting you leave.'' I frowned then screamed.
''SOMEONE HELP ME!'' Logan sighed and said
''Good luck getting anyone one to come into this room.'' I frowned fright gripped me and it churned in my stomach,
''Why?'' He smirked
''you'll figure it out'' I took in a shaking breath in thru my nose to centre myself to forget the fright and the memory.
Then gagged.
''LOGAN! Did you kill a cat in here or something it REEKS!'' I shrieked
He laughed and said
''You don't want to know what happens in this room.'' I squeaked fear an disgust made me launch myself off the bed and I fell painfully to the ground. The memories came flooding back I couldn't help the fact that I started crying.
I curled up wrapping my free arm around my two legs and leaned against the side of the bed and cried silently into my knees.
Logan stood there shocked for a moment before kneeling down beside me.
''Rina... are you crying?'' I shook my head,
''NO'' I sobbed he sighed and took the pocket knife out of his jean pocket and cut my restraints. He looked down expecting me to flee but I just curled in on myself terrified. I rocked back and forth clawing at my arms and legs.
I don't want to remember anymore.
Logan's POV
I knelt down beside her as she cried into her knee's clawing at her arms and legs. I approached but she'd crawl farther and farther away.
I stopped and stood terrified. What had she gone thru to make her this scared? I stepped back until I reached the door.
''MOM HELP!'' She came sprinting up the stairs eyes filled with worry.
''What's wrong?'' I pointed at Laurina and she ran in the room. She knelt beside her and said
''Laurina what's the matter?'' She sobbed and shook her head. She sighed and said
''what can I do that will make you talk to me?'' Laurina looked at the bed and shuddered.
''Take me out of this room and...'' Mom picked her up
''What else dear?'' She looked up at me and said
''Make him go away.'' I nodded and left. The pain in my chest was awful. I went downstairs everyone was in the living room. I walked over to Jeremy from the look on my face he said
''Everyone we are going on a run Hope an Jaime would you mind leaving for about an hour?'' Everyone nodded and we all left the house. I was last to leave looking over at the house I wondered if I'd made a huge mistake I couldn't fix.
Kat came over and gave me a hug and said
''I'm sure she'll be fine.'' I shook my head but followed her to the forest.
Elena's POV
I brought her to her room and I laid her down on the bed and sat next to her brushing the hair out of her face.
This girl has been thru so much, I can tell just by looking in her eyes. They aren't green anymore, there barely even blue they are almost white.
''Do you want to tell me what happened?'' I asked gently. She took a deep breath and sat up I piled some pillows behind her so she leaned on that. She took another deep breath and asked
''Was it unfair of me to ask you to make Logan leave.'' I shook my head.
''Not at all we've both had these problems and I suck with this emotional stuff but I will listen.'' She nodded and said
''I met Jonathan...''
