Collide⚔

Chapter 41

I don't know how I got here, but somehow I'm in my mother's arms. She softly sobs near my ears as she nearly crushes me. I take in my surroundings. It looks like a bunker. Huge frames set on nearly every wall, cupboards filled with food and water. In the back there are three beds, their covers plainly white. There is an old couch sitting in the middle of the room, a coffee table keeping it company.

"Her Mate rejected her." My eyes flicker to my father when the words came out. My mom tries to pull me in a hug again but I raise my hand to stop her.

"What happened? What happened to her? She looks devastated!" She again pulled me in a hug, i pull back from her hug and looked behind me. A panel is set up, lines and lines of tiny TV's next to each other showing me images of what I assume is the outside. One of the camera's looks like it's setted up in a small cabin.

"I want you to train me." I said, my father look back at me. He seems to study me for a moment before he slightly nods. I turn back to my mother.

"I want you to train me too, in Magic." My mom looks past me towards my father before she slowly nods.

"What are we training for, Sweety?" Her voice is soft as of she is talking to a child. I wrinkle my nose in disgust at her tone.

"Self-defense" I said, my tone is even. Unwavering even though it's a lie. I can defense myself well. Especially now that they've seen my powers, they will be hesitant to attack again and somehow I think their little witch won't help them this time. I'm going to get Taehyung back no matter what it takes. If he thinks he can reject me just like that he obviously doesn't know me very well. I grab a bottle of water from one of the shelves and turn back around to my Father.

"We start now." His eyes are hooded as if he's trying to mask all his emotions from me. It's of no use. The air fills with concern coming from both of them. I wrinkle my nose once more. My dad quickly nods upon seeing my face.

He slowly gets up and walks to one of the boxes sat in a frame. He pulls out a dozen butter knives and gives me half of them. Without talking i follow him to an iron door. He types something in the panel next to it and the door opens with a click We walk up a staircase that screeches with every step. At the top there is another iron door. Once we got through that we were standing in the cabin that I've seen on the TV. What I didn't see before though are those pots filled with flowers and wolfsbane. The flowers are so strong that they hide our scents. Smart move, Father. Very smart. I follow him outside and see nothing other than trees. I look up at the trees, and see that these trees are so thick you can't see from above.

"Why did you build this?" He shrugs without answering me. "I asked, when did you build this?" Once again he stays silent and he points towards one of the trees. Before he even blinked I threw a knife. It flies closely to his head and his hair moves from the wind before it hits the tree. The knife stood strongly right in the middle.

"I have not only left my Mate for you and Mother. I have left my King, i have given up my position as Queen and I've left behind the family that was there for me all my life time. You will answer my question, because of that very very simple fact that you owe me." I throw another knife and it hits the one already in the tree. they both crash to the ground with loud thud.

"Two years ago, it was finished two years ago on your sixteenth birthday. We wanted to come for you the night before, but the party had already started. There were too many people." I nod and threw another knife, this one doesn't go to the tree I'm aiming for but hits the tree behind it.

"I don't owe you anything, neither does your Mother. we're still your parents and though we're both grateful to you for saving me from being beheaded, it should be what family does without holding it against them." A hollow laugh makes its way out of my throat. I heard birds fly away from a distance, flying to be safe somewhere.

"You're not my Family. Family doesn't leave." Before he could speak I changed into my wolf form. My clothes are ripping in the process. I growl at my father before I take off.

I have been running for at least an hour when the realisation of everything that happened weighs down on me. Exhaustion creeps over me like a disease and I stood still. There's no sound around me, before I could think I lifted my head to the sky and let out a loud howl. It's filled with pain and grief. Grief for the mate that rejected me, pain for losing the only father and mother that I've ever known, Pain for losing my best friend, for all the fights i had to fight these days. Pain for losing myself, because that's the truth. I don't know who I'm anymore or where...

Suddenly my breath knocked out my lungs as I hit the ground harshly. I see white fur on top of me, if I didn't meet with the sharp teeth i would appreciate the beauty of it. The wolf growls loudly trying to put me in submission. If I could grin in wolf form, i would.
