Chapter 17.

Kate's P.O.V

I didn't know how long I had been there for, but I figured it had to be at least five days. I was getting weaker and weaker because I rarely slept and when I ate I couldn't eat much. Steven didn't notice though, he was almost too caught up with other stuff and I had no idea what.

Everyday I stared at the door, praying that Embry would come in with the rest of the pack and get me out of there. But it never happened. I knew that they were looking for me though so I just had to be patient. Steven didn't know that they knew in which country I was, and he probably thought I was well hidden.

I was sitting at my usual spot, staring at the door, thinking about Embry. Suddenly I heard a phone ring and glanced at Steven as he answered his cell phone. At first he didn't say much, but I jumped as he yelled in anger.

"What do you mean? You saw them?" he hissed as he stood up. He looked angry now. "How the hell did they find..." he didn't finish his sentence, instead he looked over at me and I had never been so scared in my life.

"I'll figure something out" he sighed and hung up the phone. He walked closer to me and I swallowed nervously.

"Who was it?" I asked in a low voice but he ignored my question.

"We have to change location" he said and before I knew it he had thrown me over his shoulder and was running out of the house.

The speed made me dizzy and I just wanted him to stop running. What if he left the country? How would Embry find me then? He suddenly stopped and threw me on the ground. I yelped in pain as I hit the ground and felt tears burn in my eyes.

"What the hell did you do!?" he screamed at me and my eyes were wide in fear. "You screwed everything up, you worthless piece of..."

"No!" I screamed as he lifted his hand as if to hit me. He let his hand fall to his side and smirked at me.

"You think you're so clever huh? Calling your friends behind my back." he said and I felt tears run down my face. "Well if I can't have you no one can." he said and grabbed the top of my arms and pushed me up against a tree.

"Please... please don't..." I sobbed but it was like he didn't even hear me.

"They're close now. I should wait and let him watch when I take you away from him." he said and I gasped. The pack was here? Close?

"You're crazy" I said and he chuckled. He then moved his hands to my throat and gave a light pressure.

"Say that again" he said with a crazy look on his face.

"You. Are. Crazy" I sputtered and his face changed from crazy to furious. He pressed harder around my throat and I couldn't breathe. I clawed at his hands which was no use because his skin was like a rock. I started to panic as I couldn't get any air and black sport started to blur my vision as I stared in to his blood red eyes.

This is it. I thought. I won't get to see Embry again. I'll die now.

I didn't even know if it was a hallucination or real life as I felt Steven's hands disappear from around my throat and a giant animal tackled him to the ground. The next second I was on the ground as well, gasping for air as I blacked out.

Please review and tell me what you think so far! xoxo
