THE INDIFFERENT LUNA 1 - Austan wolf

CHAPTER 17

Let's go, darling." I heard Layla say, then the retreating steps of two people. "Have fun boys." I heard her say again and the pants I wore were yanked off me.

No. no. no. I can't die like this. I can't die like this. I don't want to die like this. I have been hurt, cheated, and betrayed.

Moon goddess please, just this once help me. Help me.

I could feel more tears drip down my paralyzed face as the weight of a man came over me, a hand, his hand probably parting my legs, then a scream as the man seemed to fall off me.

A crackling sound filled the air and then the smell of burnt flesh followed. Someone gently touched my face

"Did she come for me? Did the moon goddess really come to save me?" I asked myself as I felt someone carry me. They must have spoken but I could no longer hear, I could no longer fight the darkness. It had overshadowed me, and I gave in.

I woke up with a start. I was lying in a very small but comfortable and warm place, probably a bed. I still couldn't feel my body parts or move my head no matter how much I tried. Tears pooled in my eyes as I recalled the dream that had been my memory. Someone had saved me, the moon goddess?

No. the moon goddess didn't walk the earth, could she have come down? I mean, I did see a moon that afternoon or was it just a dream? Was I dead? They said when you die you feel at peace, but there was no peace in my heart, only chaos.

Eric. How could he? How could he? What did I ever do? Did it just give him pleasure to use me because I was weaker?

I wept as I tried to move. I stared intensely at the ceiling. It was thatched, a hut? A hut, but whose hut? It was silent and empty, the awful smell and sound of something boiling not far from me filled the silent air but it wasn't strong enough to sting my nose, or have I lost my heightened sense of smell too?

At least I was safe, but would I ever walk again? If I was paralyzed, then I would be a burden to whosoever had saved me or perhaps, they would just kill me themselves when they could no longer cope with me.

I thought as tiredness began to overcome me and I drifted into sleep again.

"I am sorry Silveen, I didn't mean for it to end this way, but this is for the best." I heard Eric say.

"You monster!" I screamed at him in my head.

"You monster!"

"Let's go, darling." I heard Layla say, "Have fun boys" she said again.

"No! No! I can't die like this!"

I woke up with a start again and looked around the room. I was still in that hut, but the awful smell was gone, a nice scent now filled the room, my savior was probably burning an incense.

I turned my head slowly on the bed to look at my surroundings instinctively but paused when I realized I could move my head. I felt joy and relief wash over me as I turned my head from side to side, then tried to move my body, but I could not, it was heavy. I tried again but was met by a sharp pain in my head which left me dizzy. I groaned at the pain and rested my head back on the bed.

"Sis! She's awake!" I heard a bubbly unfamiliar voice call out to someone. I hadn't noticed their presence or smelt them, I really must have lost my sense of smell. I turned my head towards the voice but the bright light from the entrance of the hut filled my eyes and I shut it immediately.
