Battle Scars (bxb)

Chapter 15 - Hello Mister Reaper

And surely, Jack fell for it. I mean, he saw right through our attempt to lure him, alone, into the pack to take him down, but we had thought about that beforehand and were ready. When the day arrived, that I was supposably to be handed over to the man that had hurt me in so many ways, I laid awake since the night before, my head hurting and my thoughts nonexistent. I just... couldn't think or else I would panic, so I decided not to form a single thought. Sawyer was laying next to me, he was there as well, like he wanted to be and I thought he was soundly asleep, but when he turned over to me, his eyes closed and his breath heavy, he whispered "I have you." And that made me tear up. Sawyer was there for me, even if he probably didn't understand half of what was going on, after all, this was still so new to him. 

My parents were still not on board with all of this and I couldn't blame them, they were trying to protect me after all, but I had to do this, to end it once and for all and get Jack behind bars. The anxiety I felt I seemed to share with them and I tried my best to not let it show so they would also calm down. Sawyer was relatively calm, but mostly because he knew how I felt and he wanted to support me as best as he could and not make this about himself. He just wanted to be there for me and help me as best as he could, which was mostly trying to keep me calm and ask if I wanted to back out once in a while, but I couldn't, this really was the only way to end this and I would go through with it no matter what. 

The morning of said day, a group of guards brought me, my parents and Sawyer over to the packhouse so we could get ready. We had already discussed, that my parents would not participate in this, since they would most definitely try and kill Jack or maybe say something that would make him realize what was really going on and back out, so they had to stay there, with Riley and Sawyer, that was the plan. They would be kept safe while we were dealing with Jack. Asher didn't want to put his mate in danger and Sawyer should also not see this so they were all to stay inside with some guards while we fought the war. I was so nervous I wanted to throw up, but I didn't, I just also didn't manage to eat anything. This was sickening. I would have to see Jack again. At least I wouldn't have to act much about how scared I was to see him again and have him come near me. I knew Asher wouldn't let him touch or hurt me, but he would say some things that neither one of us could prevent from leaving his mouth and I had to deal with that. 

"Have you got the bag?" Asher asked me and I nodded, holding up the bag that was supposed to look and smell like I had packed my belongings to leave this pack. The heroic little omega who would sacrifice himself for his new and loving pack without his parents knowledge. Yes, I would have done it, but now we were just acting like that was the truth. Asher had already sent a message to Jack to meet us at dusk outside of the territory and we all knew he was coming since he didn't send a sarcastic note back. He was on board and probably knew this was a trap, but he just didn't know how big of a trap it was. I had helped Asher and Jasper the past few days gathering information on Jack, describing to them what kind of person he was so they knew what he had planned and were prepared for everything that would come our way. 

"How are you feeling? We can still cancel the plan if you are not ready Lynton, really" Asher said and my mom chirped in "I still don't like this, what if something goes wrong?? Then he is just back with his abuser this... this monster! How can we be sure that that won't happen!" I knew she was terrified for my sake and so was I but we really had no other choice or else Jack would just run around a free man after what he had put so many people through. "We can't mom. We can't be sure, but if we don't do this, we can also not be sure that he won't get me some other way. At least now we have a chance at peace. Please juts... let me do this" I said and my parents had tears in their eyes, as they didn't like any of this but knew that I was right. Because there was no way of knowing. 

Sure, Asher and Jasper had put a lot of work into making the perfect plan and hiding guards everywhere so Jack couldn't escape as soon as he would step foot onto the place we had named for the so called trade, but there was always a chance he would somehow surprise us and make us learn just how capable he was but the hard way. But then again, if we didn't act now, he would most definitely snatch me some other way, so at least now we would fight. I felt sick, I was nervous and I did not look forward to seeing him again at all. Aban, the witch from Jasper's pack, had put a bubble around the packhouse, so from the outside it appeared like there was nothing going on on that property but inside the bubble that included the garden and everything, we could hide so Jack wouldn't know that we were planning something. Aban was really cool and I was happy that they helped us, but it still didn't sooth my anxiety just because we had a witch. Jack seemed to have one as well.
