Santana (POV)
I turn my back to Brittany and Sam and a silent tear falls down my face, I whisper quietly…
"Keep her safe Sam…" I swallow hard…I would die to keep them all alive.
"I will Santana, I promise…" I hear Sam, from a distance, but he has to yell so I can hear him.
The men aim their crossbows and me and laugh.
"You gonna give up? Or do we have to shoot you a few times?" I swallow hard and close my eyes. Do I give up…? I bare my teeth at the men and they shake their heads, laughing.
"If you don't give up…we'll kill them…" I swallow hard and know now that I have to give up… I sit down on the ground and they pick me up dragging me back to their jeep. They throw me in the back seat and they sit on either side of me facing their bows at me.
They smirk and start screaming at me. "You better tell us where and who the Alpha is…or you'll regret it…" I shake my head back and forth and go to speak. They press the arrow to my neck.
"Wait till well get to the place then we can chat…" I swallow hard, this is not good. They grab me and throw me out of the vehicle; they drag me into a house it's in the middle of the woods. They throw me into a chair and tie me down… Shit…They pull out a long hunting knife and I swallow hard.
"Now where did you say the Alpha was again?" I shake my head and try pleading with them…
"I don't know!" they shake their heads and I hear them chuckle.
"That wasn't the right answer…" I feel a sharp pain in my gut… I don't know if I'm gonna make it this time…
They keep asking me that same question again and again, but I have no answer…I need help! NOW!
I scream loudly… They slam the knife into my hand and they shake their heads. The smaller guy that I have never seen before…speaks up.
"Maybe she doesn't know…" The man I used to can my father slams his fist into his face, I shake my head and breath heavy, and these wounds aren't healing right… The leader turns around to face me he has a flower in his hand, I give him an odd look and he chuckles…
"This is wolves' bane…." I swallow hard, and shake my head, "I don't know where the Alpha is!" I shout this time, he steps forward and slams the wolves' bane into my open wounds, I scream loudly as the pain hits me…. I swallow hard and bite the inside of my cheek. He grabs a something that was lying on the fire in the fireplace…He slams it on my skin and I clamp my teeth together… It hurts so really bad, he steps back and I realize it was the blade of a knife. I hear a noise from outside and the men begin to scramble glancing around, the door opens quickly and the man with the four wheeler walks in. I am panting hard, and I can tell he isn't happy.
"WHAT DID I TELL YOU!" he screams swinging at the men, as they start fighting I use my last bit of strength to break the chair I'm sitting in, I drag myself out the door and I can hear my father yelling.
"She's getting away you fool!" I can hear the other man scream at him… "Let her go! She hasn't done anything wrong!" I hurry up and drag myself into the woods, when I get a little ways away I lean against a tree. I try and take deep breaths but it hurts so bad… I need to head back to Britt's house, before….before I die.
I slowly crawl trying to get my bearings… I swallow hard and I can taste blood… Am I going to die here?
Those damn flowers are stuck in my open wound's that's why they aren't healing… The knife they stabbed me with had flowers on it as well…and that knife they burned me with… I swallow hard and the pain is beginning to be unbearable. I need to signal Sam…but if I do the hunters might find me again…
I push off the ground and groan loudly…I start walking slowly through the woods…I try to smell the air to figure out where I am, but all I can smell is my own blood. I need to find the house...fast. I push myself as hard as I can and start walking quickly through the woods. I can start to smell familiar smells…slowly, I try and move faster but this pain is too much. Then I finally see it…the lights from Brittany's house…and I can see Sam's car is still there…I move slowly across the field, as quietly as I can… I make my way to the door slowly I lean forward coughing loudly, I pant loudly and touch the door knocking as hard as I can, the door opens and I see Sam, his eyes are wide I lose my footing falling backwards…Sam catches me and he looks like he's crying…
"San…what did they do to you….?" I see a tear fall down his face and I groan quietly, I swallow hard and he looks at the wounds all over me and he yells loudly.
"Mrs. Pierce! I need your help! NOW!" He yells loudly and I can see Mrs. Pierce run through the door, her eyes grow wide and she puts her hands over her mouth. I'm starting to lose this battle, it's getting harder to breath and I can feel my eyes closing. She bends down next to me looking at my wounds….
"What did they do to you?!" She has tears on her face and I clear my throat.
"I couldn't tell them…what they wanted to know" I take a deep breath and cough loudly, the door creaks open a little wider and I see Brittany, he eyes are huge and she sniffs loudly bending down next to me…
"San….you're gonna be fine…alright?" She slides her hands up on my face… I take a deep breath and give her a small smile. I look over at Mrs. Pierce and bite my lip.
"They put wolves' bane on the knife they used…I was also burned and they added more wolves' bane after the wounds we made…." She nods and glances down at my stomach… she looks distraught and she swallows hard, I can see loose tears on everyone's eyes and I shake my head…
"Don't look so sad…" I put my hand on Brittany's face, she leans into my hand and I smile… I take a deep breath and my eyes start to flutter shut. I swallow hard and I feel Sam shake me softly, "Santana! You NEED to keep your eyes open! Do you understand me?!" I slowly open my eyes, and Sam lets out a deep breath. Sam picks me up and carries me into the house…they lay me on the couch and Mrs. Pierce runs out of the room towards the bathroom. Brittany and Sam are at my side, I look over and smile at them…there the closes thing I have to a family right now… well except for my mom… I need to go see her…
I see Mrs. Pierce run back and toss some things on the table… she holds up some peroxide, and I groan…I've been through enough pain…but, I think I can handle this. She dumps it onto a rag and pulls out a pair of tweezers… I swallow hard…
She bends down next to me and licks her lips, "Okay Santana, I need to get the wolves' bane out of your wounds…it's gonna hurt but you'll feel better once it's out and you'll start healing as well…" I nod and groan loudly.
"I don't think I can hurt any worse…" they all stop and glance down at the ground. I close my eyes and Brittany grips my hand tightly. I take a deep breath as Mrs. Pierce pulls some of the wolves' bane out of my skin…it's still the full moon out it's pretty late though… I swallow hard and slam my eyes shut… It takes her a pretty long time to get all the wolves' bane out… Brittany and Sam, stay by my side the whole time… I glance over at Brittany and smile softly… Mrs. Pierce looks up at me and sighs deeply.
"I got all the wolves' bane out…but I need to put peroxide on you and bandage up your wounds… I nod and glance over at Brittany, I see a tear falling down her face, and I reach up wiping it away.
She sniffles and kisses my hand softly. "I wish we would have stayed with you…then you wouldn't have been hurt…" I shake my head and smile at her.
"No Britt, if you stayed they would've hurt you…I'm glad I could protect you guys…"I sigh softly and they all stop looking down at me…Sam bites his lip and he asks the question I know they're all afraid to hear…
'San, what did they do to you?" I swallow and look back and forth between Britt and Sam.
I let out a shaky breath and speak quietly…"Well…they…ummm…tortured me… asking about the Alpha, but I got away when the guy with the four wheeler came, he was pissed." Sam nods and puts his hand on my arm, Brittany strokes my hand… I swallow hard as I think of the knife and the burns… I feel a tear slip down my face… I thought I could keep it together…but here I go breaking again.. I sob loudly and look at Mrs. Pierce…"My own father…tried to kill me…" More tears slide down my face and Brittany quickly wipes them away. I look at Mrs. Pierce and the peroxide bottle… I nod and she grabs it putting some on a rag.
She presses the rag to my stomach, I let out a deep groan, damn this hurts… I swallow hard. This sucks… I lean a little up and look at Mrs. P, she bites her lip and I put my hand up.
"Just dump it on it…" she raises her eyebrows shooting me a glance and I nod quickly.
I swallow hard and look at Brittany…getting lost in her blue eyes…the peroxide hits my skin and it feels like it's too much to bear. I bite my lip hard really hard and slam my eyes shut. The pain only goes away in a second. I sigh deeply and lean forward so Mrs. Pierce can wrap the bandages around me. I look like a damn mummy when she's done… She comes over and put's more peroxide on my hand wrapping it with a bandage as well. I look around at their faces they look so guilty…their hearts are hammering hard in their chests…they feel guilty. I sit up completely and smile at them.
"You know…none of this is anyone's fault. It was my choice to stay…and if it comes to it I would do it again in a heartbeat…" They all glance at each other and wrap their arms around me. I chuckle at them slightly. I shake my head as they all pull back, I sniff and stand up slowly…I'm so exhausted…
I look over at Brittany who has a tight grip on my hand…I groan as I take a small step…Sam looks at us and jumps up next to me.
"Okay San, here's what we're going to do…I'm staying here on the couch to keep an eye on you all, and I'll carry you over to Britt's room…" I nod slowly and Sam picks me up and carries me to Britt's room. He gives me a small hug and a quick goodnight. He waves and heads out of the room.
Brittany walks in closing the door slowly…she comes over and sits on the bed next to me. A tear is sliding down her face and I wipe it away quickly…
"Britt, honey…what's wrong?" I sigh and she looks at me her eyes growing wide, she whispers at me and frowns.
"San…look at you. I could've helped somehow… I mean-"I cut her off by kissing her softly.
"Britt…there's nothing you could do…I'm fine…" she shakes her head quickly and points to my stomach… I look down biting my lip…
"Brittany… I would do anything to keep you safe…I love you….sooo much… and if anything ever happened to you it would kill me… I would die to protect you…" I look away from Brittany and swallow hard. I can feel my face getting red, and I can feel Britt's eyes on me. I feel her cold hand on my chin and she turns me towards her, she brushes our lips together and I smile into the kiss. I push our foreheads together and smile.
Brittany lays back and she pulls me closer to her. I snuggle into her side and she leans her head over so it's on top of my head, she takes a deep breath.
"I would die for you too San…I would die for you too." she whispers right as I drift to sleep.
