Nightmares

Chapter 22 Nightmares

My eyes felt like they were glued shut my body still felt numb and as soon as I thought it my eyes shot open and I sat up remembering that bitch Devon. My head was spinning and everything was tingling like my whole body fell asleep and was slowly waking up. It was like a million needles poking me. That bitch fucking stabbed me with a needle and now I’m…. I looked around the room or rather cage. I was in a damn cage with metal bars all around except the back wall was brick. The only thing in the cage was two small cots and a body lying on the other one. Around the room I saw more cages and more people. On the left was a guy maybe 24 with light brown hair green eyes and a large gash on his chest. On my right was another guy but also a girl both looking to be about 17 or so with blond hair and blue eyes. Across from us was an older couple the woman with deep red hair, the man with black hair and was pacing back and forth. The cell across from the blond kids was empty and the one across from the other guy had two more kids one looked about 6 the other about 10 both with brown hair but they were huddled next to each other hiding so I couldn’t see their eyes.

The room looked like a basement and wasn’t huge with a narrow walkway between the cages. The floors were concrete and it reeked of bleach and other cleaners. Someone groaned and I realized it was the person on the bed in my cage. My heart fell to my stomach when I realized how screwed I was, we were.  How the hell did I get here? Devon shouldn’t of been able to get out of the house with me. Unless someone inside the house is working with her or she is just a sneaky little bitch.

I stood up moving slowly over to the other bed to see who was lying there. The lights in the basement were actually really good and before I reached the bed my stomached twisted into knots and tears flooded my eyes.

“Jackie” I whispered moving forward and touching her arm. She jumped up and moved away from me before realizing who I was.

“Morgan” she cried throwing her arms around me and started crying into my shoulder. It felt like my nightmare was slowly coming true. Seeing Jackie here made me sick and pissed. Jace will be one sorry son of a bitch when I see him.

I pulled away so I could look Jackie over and felt my heart race when I saw her face. Her eye was black and green like a few day old bruise, her lip was busted with dry blood on her chin. Her nose was still dripping blood but didn’t look broken. Her black t-shirt was ripped and I saw a large claw mark on her stomach that was still bleeding.

“Jackie what happened to you” I said pulling her shirt up to get a better look at the damage. She gasp when a piece of the shirt that was embedded into the wound came out.

“Sorry, sorry” I said looking up at her face to see she was looking across the room at the other cell.

“I was attacked by the wolves while I was with my parents and they brought us here. Jace said something about getting revenge for his parents and killing all the witches who were there” Jackie said her voice was low and she sounded like she hasn’t had a drink in forever.

“How long have you been here” I asked my voice slightly shaking as I fought the tears.

“2 days I think” she whispered her eyes filled with tears that she was fighting herself.

“So you’re a witch” I asked looking at her face to see what she did. She just nodded slowly as more tears fell. “That your parents” I said looking across the room at the couple who were now standing up watching us. Again she nodded.

“Clint and Helen Woods” she said.

“Who are the rest of them” I whispered

“The little ones won’t talk to anyone and usually nobody messes with them my mom has been trying to talk to them but they won’t even look at her. This is Michael,” she said pointing to the brown haired boy who looked over at me with a slight nod. “That is Aaron and Amber, brother and sister” They looked up at me with sad eyes the girl silently crying while her brother held her.
