Chapter 13

The smell of blood, death and pain was almost driving him insane. He struggled with the leather straps holding him in place to no avail. His wrists burned and even bled from the constant pulling. A deep growl escaped his throat when his eyes changed it's color. Every attempt to shift was fruitless. They must be blocking or at least lessening the powers of Fae in here. He was about to let a desperate howl out, when he heard footsteps and a door opening. The doctor walked in, slightly limping. She smelled like blood, alcohol and... sex. He wrinkled his nose in disgust.

„What does the traitor want" he huffed disdainfully.

„For you to cut the crap. We don't have much time and I won't be spending precious minutes with having that argument with you again, so shut up and listen" Her voice was dripping with pain, fear and loneliness. Her face looked fallen in, several bruises and cuts were covering her body. Her lean figure looked frail, like she would break any minute, but her look... It was like steel, hard and unforgiving. God... What was going on here?

His alpha urged him to respond, to be snarky to show his dominance, but it painfully sank in that he wasn't in any dominant position. There was no way out without help and he had to take whatever he could.

„Look. I know that we never got along very well and that it doesn't seem like you could trust me. I understand that I must look like a traitor to you, but you have to trust me."

Trust... How can he trust a human? You trust Kenzi... That is different... Why? Because she is no threat to you? You are scared of the doctor, of her knowledge of the Fae, she knows almost and in some points even more then you and how long does she know of this world? A few years. A few years to learn what many Fae don't manage in a millenia. You feel threatened by her. She took your mate. But this is bigger than your fears...

„So doctor... Then tell me. What is your plan?"

The doctor sighed with relieve. She thought it would be harder to convince the wolf to even listen to her. Before she started explaining she got rid of his shackles. The wolf cracked his hurting bones and moved his sore muscles a bit, slowly sitting up. His wrists weren't as bad as he thought. After he had stretched enough he looked her in the eyes signaling her to continue. The blond nodded.

„I jammed every listening device in this room and hacked into the security system." That statement earned her a surprised look from Dyson.

„The cameras are showing only you now in this room. unconscious in a loop. With a simple manipulation on the camera itself I can reverse the effect at given time. Before you ask... I know what I'm doing. Did that once before..."

„I'm not even surprised anymore..." the wolfshifter mumbled. „So you turned of the security system in this room. Great. So I can just walk out of here not caring about a thing?"

„No. Of course not. If you believe or not, but the security here is tight. Tighter than in the light Fae compound. One wrong move and every guard will be on your tail. Nothing against your abilities, but you wouldn't even make it out of block E not to mention the manor."

„You have no Idea of what I'm capable of doctor... I could rip all those weak humans into pieces before they even know what is coming." he growled in a low tone.

„Fae and their superiority complex... Humans are more dangerous then you believe, especially ones who know of the Fae and their weaknesses. And on the contrary... I know what you are capable of and I have to say for a 900 year old warrior..." she stopped mid sentence letting her words sink in for a second.

„I just want to help you to get out of here... In fifteen minutes the guards are changing shifts. That means there is a small time frame for you to get out of here without alarming anyone. You won't be able to open any of the doors without a Keycard and not every Keycard is authorized for every door or shaft. You need the masterkeycard to get out of here."

„And how do I get that thing?"

The woman pulled a card with shaking hands out of her labcoat. „Taft is the only one who has one... I... could lay my hands on it and copied it. Not very difficult and I have to say the coding was done very sloppy..." He could see that the doctor was nervous. Her whole body seemed to be shaking.

„So... you had to whore yourself into the bed of a succubus and your sociopathic boss? sounds kinda familiar..." He knew it was a low blow, but the doctor hadn't been nice either. He wasn't so sure about the succubus he smelt, but the scent was very similar...

„Don't... please... Dyson don't..." she gulped. The previous events were flashing infront of her eyes. Disgusted and helpless on her knees while the brunette writhed in pleasure, how she was a silent spectator unable to control her body. Then she felt Tafts alcohol reeking breath on her neck, his rough hands that were tugging at her clothes. She felt the bile in her throat when his sweaty body pressed against hers, when he murmured disgusting things in her ear. She remembered every grunt when he had thrusted into her like an animal. The tears that formed into her eyes when he had pressed into her for one last time. Thanking her brain to let her take the syringe, to be at least protected. She still heard his snoring in her ears. He had immediately fallen asleep, giving her the chance to snatch the card and copy it.

She hadn't had any time then to even shower. When she had thought that she couldn't sink any lower, reality kicked her with full force. She felt so disgusted by herself. Dysons words hit deep like a dagger squirming its way into her insides, ripping her apart. She tried to fight it, this wasn't neither the time, the person nor the place to break down. She was strong she had always been strong, but her last reserve, her tiniest bit of self esteem was gone, drowning in the sea of past actions. Dysons comment had ripped it out of her and the cracking walls of the damn holding her together was eventually breaking.

Her knees grew week and she fell down. A heartfelt cry escaped her lips, vibrating in the soundproofed room. She curled herself into a tiny ball, hugging her knees and started wheeping like a small child. Everything was breaking in, every part in her body and her mind hurt.

To say Dyson was shocked was the understatement of the century. He had never seen the blond doctor like this. Not even in the slightest. He regretted his last words. Why had he always to be himself? His jealousy and disdain had broken one of the strongest women he knew.

They used her, abused her, fucked her, maybe raped her you bloody idiot. Just to get you out of here. Go to her, make this right.

He silently sat down and pulled her into his arms. There was no fight, she just let him hold her. She clung to him like dear life, seemingly calming down. He slowly rocked her back and forth, rubbing a comforting hand along her back.

„I'm sorry... I'm stupid... I didn't mean... I make this right Lauren... I'll make those who did this to you suffer and I will reunite you with Bo. I promise" He whispered and surprisingly meaning every word of it.

„5...5 minutes..." The blond quietly said slowly pulling herself together. She was embarrassed about her outbreak especially infront of Dyson. She had never thought that he would hold her, manage to calm her down and she was thankful. She felt like she had new hope... new hope after what had happened.

„5 minutes?" He looked at her questioningly.

The doctor slowly pushed herself of Dyson, slowly standing up, her legs still a little wobbly.

„The change of shift starts in 5 minutes. We stage your breaking out... then you go through the door. There is one single guard standing at that moment waiting for his partner. Sneak past him or knock him out. Don't kill him. They have sensors supervising the heart rate of the guards. One goes out, hell breaks loose. Got that?"

Dyson nodded.

„Don't play the hero and try to free any Fae. You may be able to open the cells with the key, but that would cause a lockdown for the whole block E for the next 20 minutes. Before you get out of there they probably found out you escaped and they will be flooding the hall with poisonous gas, not caring about any human that could still be in there..."

„No killing, no hero... got that... anything else?"

„When you are reaching the end... Don't use the big vault door, for obvious reasons. Use the small metal door to your right instead. It should open with the right key. Follow the corridor till the end. Sneak around any guards, there shouldn't be many at that time. On the right side there is a simple wooden door leading into a closet. Don't be fooled. You can lift a tile at the ceiling. There should be ladder leading upstairs in the manor part."

„And then what? Crawl through the ventilation shaft?"

„Don't be ridiculous we're not in Die Hard or any other action movie...Well... You just have to crawl through the maintenance shaft in the labs. The labs are numbered. Go into lab 02 and then through a door that reads maintenance. Again, keycard. Follow the shaft and... voila you are outside. When you are outside you can shift again into your wolf... the rest is your part. Get as much help as you can and burn this shithole down. Just... Please give me the chance to clean the names of the humans."

„So you figured this plan out in what? 2 hours? How? Working out the guard pattern, manipulating the security system, copying keycards... that would take days if not weeks instead of a few hours.."

„There is much you don't know about me. For example... I have a photographic memory, or how should I be able to remember every tiny bit of Fae knowledge... I'm also a pro concerning infiltrating high security facilities.. But that doesn't matter. We have to get you out of here so you can warn the others...Unite the scooby gang" She smiled a sad smile.

„What about you?"

„I'm staying, do my best to keep the damage low and Taft from totally going crazy."

„You are not coming? You will die when you stay here Lauren" he sounded honestly concerned.

„I know... But I will either way and I rather die here helping to bring this down than being killed as a terrorist bleeding out somewhere unknown alone... It's ok... I knew it was a one way trip... I'm sorry that I hurt her... But I know that I was never enough for her...Keep her save. And... even if its awkward for you... tell her that I love her and that I'm sorry..."

„Is it time?" Dyson asked, trying not to let Laurens words to near.

The blond nodded. „Lie down. Act like you are still shackled. I will turn on the cameras, coming in and checking on you. When I lean down... Break free and attack me."

„You mean, acting not really... attacking..."

„No... This needs to be real. They can't suspect that I'm helping you or my cover would be blown. Please Dyson don't hold back... Well but don't kill me either if you can..."

„Lauren... I can't attack you. I might kill you. Can't I just knock you out?"

„Would you?"

„Pardon?"

„Would you just knock me out? If it's just me standing between here and freedom? Me the traitor who stole your mate? Who betrayed your kind? You would this weak human just knock out? No... Your wolf would take over... lashing out. Am I right?"

Dyson took a deep breath before he nodded. She was right. If this was real he wouldn't hold back. He looked into the pleading eyes of the broken doctor. Oh he hoped Bo wouldn't kill him.

Before he got back to the bed he pulled the blond in one tight hug. „You were always enough, we were just to blind to see it..." he whispered into her ear.

He lay down and put his hands back into the straps and gave the blond a sign that he was ready. She just nodded and started fumbling with the camera.

„Wake up wolf" the blond grumbled.

„Can't get enough of me doctor, hmm?" he smirked. Without a warning she slapped him.

„Don't you dare talking to me like that you filthy dog. I will put you down and when I'm done with you you will be good boy, a nice little lapdog, doing everything I want..." her voice was dripping with venom when she slowly leaned down.

The wold let out a deep growl pulling at his shackles and broke free.

„Shit" the doctor cursed and was slowly taking a few steps back. The wolf stretched it's muscles, cracking joyously his neck.

„Out of my way human..." his voice was deep and threatening, his canines peeking out from his lips...

„n...No... I... I won't" Before she could form any coherent sentence she felt claws digging at her torso ripping clothes, skin, flesh and... organs apart. Dyson was gone with the keycard. The doctor slumped down gurgling while trying to speak. Her breath was rattling and blood was dripping out of her mouth. She couldn't breath. Blood was filling her injured lungs.

Her hands clutched at her open torso with no effect. She felt pure agony when her life essence was streaming out of her, building a sticky pool below.

Maybe it was to much, Dyson to strong she though when indescribable pain was pulsing through her body. Cold. Cold and tired. As a doctor she knew that there was to much damage to repair, that she was losing blood to fast and that under any circumstances she mustn't sleep, but it seemed to appealing, so easy to finally give in, to end this horrible pain, to finally be free. At least she could free Dyson, giving Bo the chance to live with her mate, having the live she had always dreamed of.

And she? She would be free for once. No more Fae, no more Interpol just silence and peace. Maybe she'd see Nadia again if she would believe in that.

Her vision faded when the blood was seeping in big pulses out of her wound. She never imagined she'd die like this. Alone in a gruesome place, thought to be a traitor.

She only regretted that she would never see her sister or Bo again. She left them alone and couldn't do a thing about it. She just hoped Dyson would make it and this godforsaken place was going to be put down.

The last thing she saw was Bo smiling face. She slowly shut her eyes with a smile on her lips when the endless darkness enveloped her in it's warm arms. One last shallow breath escaped her lips and let the broken body consume its well deserved rest.

A/N: Don't kill me?
