Swift Grace (#2 in the Golden series)

Chatper Nine: Guilt

Over the next two days, I hardly eat or drink. My thoughts swirl in my head and sometimes tears roll down my cheeks. The pack start to worry about me but it's not me I'm worried about, Emmy has been in the clutches of evil since the day I let her be caught.

I sigh and sit back on the sofa, I look out, waiting for my baby girl to walk in the door screaming "I'm back".

I growl and get up, I start to pace "yo bro, be easy" Jay says rolling his eyes.

"I can't be easy when my baby girl is being hurt because of me" I growl at him.

"Chill, for one minute" Toby says, backing Jay up.

I roll my eyes but I sit back down. Just as I start to think of turning myself in, I hear Emmy's voice in my ear.

"Kay?" She whispers, my heart soars when I hear her voice.

"Baby girl are you ok?" I ask, not wanting to know the answer.

"Yes, when are you coming?" She asks.

"Today, then we are going on holiday day for five years" I joke.

"I would love that" she replies.

"Good becuase it's going to happen, we will go for a run with the pack then we will go" I say getting serious.

"I hope so" she says as she takes I sharp breath.

"Are you hurt?" I say.

"Just a little" she says.

"Ok" I reply, thinking of how to torture these people who have hurt her to hurt them twice as worse. I wouldn't kill them till I had to. THE DEAD DONT SUFFER. 

"I've got to go now, I love you" she says then static filling my ear.

I growl for a long time and then I get my knife, making sure it is in a safe place. Everyone makes preparation and I think of going on my own.

"Just one more night" Toby says trying to calm my nerves.

I reach the decision to go and hand myself in. "Night everyone" I say running up to my bedroom.

Once I get in, I start to gather the things I will need; knife, gun with bullets and my phone. I sigh and wait for the others to go to bed.

I wait longer then needed to make sure everyone is asleep. Once I know they are, I tiptoe to the garden. My heart beat quickens and I struggle to breath.

I run into the woods, my feet make no sound as I fly to where my baby is. I check my phone and know that Toby hasn't awoken to find me gone yet.

I take a deep breath and turn the corner, the house stands lonely and the roof is falling off. "Shit hide out" I whisper to myself.

I sit and wait for the first rays of light before I head into my certain death. Just before I go in Toby says to me through the chip in my ear "where are you going?"

"I'm going to turn myself in, don't try and stop me I need to do this" I say, running into the house.

It doesn't take long to find Emmy, I call her name and he smiles. I race to her and try to get her out of the silver coated cage.

"I see you finally decided to turn yourself in?" I hear a deep voice say from behind me.

I growl and spin, I keep the hunter in my site as I try to get the lock undone. Just as I get it, the hunter pulls a gun out.

Fire raises along my side "not again" I say as the bullet starts to work its way into my blood stream.

"Kay!" Emmy screams as the hunter pulls her away from me, I growl and phrase, leaving my clothes in shreds.

Growling I fight hunters, it's five to one and there's no way I will survive this. "we are coming" Toby says and I find comfort that he will look after Emmy when I'm gone.

I yelp when another bullet gets me. I grit my teeth and try to finish the fight. Just as I think I'm winning more hunters appear. In no time I'm over run, I give in to the darkness and hope Emmy gets out of this.

I wake up tied to a chair by silver hand cuffs, Emmy cries next to me.

"Hey it's going to be ok" I say trying to cheer her up.

"If I die---"

"Your not going to die" I cut her off.

"Bu--"

"No buts your not going to die" I growl at her.

She smiles and I see all the hurt she has faced. "I promise we will get out of this mess and when we do I'm going to marry you" I say.

"I want to marry you too" she says with such passion.

"I want to have kids with you and walk along the beach" I say imagining it in my mind.

"I do too" she whispers.

"Kay!" Someone shouts, I recognise Toby's voice and shout "I'm here" .

I hear fighting and I feel a gun put to my head. As the fighting goes on I start to fear for Emmy's life.
