Betrayed and Broken

***TRIGGER WARNING***

Haze's POV
Skylar is still sleeping. I don't know if I should go check on her or not. She told me to stay away from her. She is so mad at me. When I said I didn't think Amber could do something like this, it wasn't because I cared about Amber. It's because I don't think she could be this cruel. Yes, she is a liar and a cheat, but that doesn't make her a murderer. When she pointed out the obvious about Amber, I felt so stupid. How did I never notice Amber always going after Skylar's boyfriends? I realized that Amber does hate Skylar. She even had me hating her. I don't know why she hates her, but she does.

I come out of my thoughts when I hear the door open. Sam walks in with three different guys. They look over at Skylar. "There she is," Sam says. I jump up and start punching Sam. The other three guys grab me and start beating the shit out of me. How could I forget I don't have Dante right now? They all obviously have their wolves. "I know we weren't supposed to touch a hair on your head, but she has already paid in full, so what's she going to do? Fuck him up," Sam ordered. They continued to punch me and kick me. Skylar wakes up and starts screaming for them to stop and leave me alone.

Sam walks over to Skylar and grabs her by her hair. The guys stop beating me. One of the guys grabbed me and sets me in a chair. I have no idea where the chair came from. He ties me up. "I want you to watch what happens next," he growls. Keith, James, and some other guy bring in a table and a bag. They set the table up in the middle of the room. Sam drags Skylar to the table and then straps her to it. She is lying on her stomach. Sam rips my shirt off of her, and she is lying there naked. She is crying. Sam walks over to the bag and pulls out a whip. "Leave her alone. Don't fucking touch her" I growl. Sam just looks at me and smiles.

"You ready, baby?" he growls, then he whips her across her back. Skylar lets out a blood curdling scream. "Leave her the fuck alone," I scream. "Please, I'll give you anything you want. Please leave her alone," I yell. None of them even paid me any attention. He keeps whipping her. She is screaming and crying in pain. He stops whipping her after 20 lashes. Her back is ripped open and bleeding. She has gashes on her arms and legs, even on her ass. Sam reaches into that bag again and pulls out a small spray bottle.

He looks at me and smiles. "It's rubbing alcohol with a little liquid silver in it. Should feel real good, " he says with a chuckle. He starts spraying her, and she starts screaming. I know the alcohol alone is burning her wounds, but the added liquid silver is making it a hundred times worse. After he sprays her whole backside, he unties her and drags her over to the bed, where all 7 of them proceed to rape her. I've got tears streaming down my face. I keep begging them to please leave her alone.
When they are done, they inject both of us with wolfsbane again, and I'm out.

When I wake up again, I'm untied from the chair. I look over at Skylar. She is still sleeping. My body hurts so much. I know I have some broken ribs. I crawl over to Skylar to check on her. As soon as I see her lying there, I start crying. She looks like she is dead. Oh Goddess, please don't let her be dead. I place my fingers on the side of her neck and feel for a pulse. She has a pulse. I can hear her barely breathing. "Skylar, wake up. Please wake up," I whisper. She starts to moan from the pain.

I stumble my way to the door and start banging on it. James opens the door. "What do you want?" he growls. "I need a bowl of warm water and some towels," I tell him. "What makes you think I'll do anything for you?" he replies. "Look, we both know you guys are going to let me go. If you give me what I'm asking for, I'll give you $10,000.00." He thinks for a minute. "Make it 20, and I'll get it" he replies. Fine, I'll give you $20,000.00. Just hurry, "I say as he shuts the door.

A couple of minutes later, James comes to the door with a bowl of warm water and some towels. I take them over to Skylar, who is still moaning in pain. I'm sorry, Sky, this will burn, but I've got to clean the silver off of you. I say before I wet a towel with the warm water and gently place it on her back. She lets out a whimper. I can barely see what I'm doing. I'm crying so hard. I don't know how she will ever recover from this. I do know she will recover. I'm going to get her out of here.

We have been here for two weeks. Over the last two weeks, Skylar gets tortured and rapped every day. These monsters brought a jar in and showed her that she had a miscarriage. If she wasn't completely broken before, she is now. I clean her wounds every day. I lay with her and talk to her to soothe her until she falls asleep. I get beat every day trying to stop them. I can tell she is giving up, and I have to do something. Moon goddess, please help her. Please give her her silver wolf so she can get out of here. Please save her. I'm so sorry I rejected your gift. I'd do anything to take it back. I pray this prayer every night before I fall asleep.

I cried myself to sleep tonight, just like every night these past two weeks. Sometime after I fell asleep, I woke up standing on a cliff. When I turned around, there was a woman in white standing there. "Hello, Haze," she says with a smile. I instantly know who she is. "Hello, goddess," I reply. "Haze, I have heard your prayers. I have to ask you something. " She pauses, and then she looks at me. "Are you willing to give your life for hers?" she asks. I don't even hesitate.  I already know the answer. "Yes, I am," I reply. "Do you love her?" she asks me. "Yes, I do," I whisper. I've never said it out loud before. "Ok then. Are you willing to take a leap of faith?" she asks as she points to the cliff. I walk to the edge of the cliff and look down. I can't see anything, just darkness. "Yes, I am," I reply. "That's all you have to do to save her," she says with a smile. I don't even take time to think it over. I would gladly sacrifice my life for hers. It's the least I can do for her after everything. She is the one that deserves to live, not me. Without a second thought, I jump off the cliff. "I love you, Skylar," I whisper as I fall into the darkness.
