Save Me

CHAPTER 11: TINGLES

Twen's POV

I'm running through thick trees and fog, unable to see what's ahead of me. I feel as if I'm running and floating at the same time. I struggle to breathe as I run with all my might, but what am I running from? This feels all too familiar, the feeling of not wanting to stop because if I do, I know something bad will happen, so I must continue.

I can feel my heart pounding throughout my body, and I see it pounding in the trees and plants. How is this possible? I hear my heavy breathing all around me as if it were coming from different directions.

I look around at my surroundings as I'm running and I think, what is going on? As I look back in front of me, I trip to the ground, when I get up, I'm suddenly surrounded by wolves. I didn't even notice them get close, they all growl at me and show their sharp teeth.

I'm scared, they look as if they're ready to attack and rip me to shreds. They're scary, but not as scary as the presence that has suddenly appeared behind me. I don't want to look, but my body is turning on its own. Before I fully look back the scary presence punches me in the face.

I jolt awake gasping for air.

I open my eyes but immediately close them, the bright lights blinding me and making my head pound. I slowly open them letting them adjust. Apart from a headache, my right cheek and jaw hurt, I first move my hand to the side of my head, rubbing my temple, and then to my jaw.

When I fully open my eyes, I see that I'm in a bright, clean room. However, I don't where I am, I've never seen a room like this in the bad place, then again, it's not like I was allowed to move around.

As I try to move up, I'm suddenly stopped by my left wrist. When I look down there is what looks like a smaller version of the cuffs from the bad place. There's also something going into my arm and there are things on my chest. They're connected to this thing next to me that makes a sound ever so often.

I try yanking at the cuff as desperation begins to set in and the memories of what happened flood in. I was caught, my hand trembles as I place it over my mouth at this realization. Michael found me and took me again. Tears begin to fall from my eyes knowing that I'm back in this horrible place.

I start yanking at the miniature cuff more aggressively, not caring if I hurt myself. Michael is going to kill me for running away. My body shakes more aggressively, and I can feel bile trying to come out.

Just then I hear voices outside the room getting closer and closer. I pull at my arm more intensely, feeling a pinch where they have put something in my arm. I grab the thing and yank it out, blood then gushes out of my arm. I whimper at the pain but also at the fear that is growing more immensely.

This is it; they're going to kill me, is all that goes through my mind. This time fear has completely overtaken me, knowing Michael, I know my death will be very slow and painful.

I see as the doorknob starts turning, and my heart starts pounding out of my chest, which makes this thing next to me make more noise. When the door opens five people walk in, they walk in talking but immediately stop when they see me.

I freeze up when they all turn to look at me. They all stare at me with serious faces, almost glaring. There's one person that seems familiar, not because I recognized his face but because of his scary presence.

Out of all the men that walked in he was glaring at me the most, he seems very angry at me.

I rip my eyes from the scary man and look at the other men carefully, I don't recognize their scents. Maybe they're new rogues.

One of the men starts walking in my direction, which makes me tense up even more. My heartbeat quickens and the thing next to me makes even more noise. I try to push myself to the corner of the bed as much as possible, trying to create as much distance between us.
