The Rejected Alpha

Chapter 109

An:Wow, I'm absolutely awful at this. I can't believe I didn't post 109 and went ahead and posted 110. For anyone still here, I'm sorry. Here's 109.

******

I had heard the words.
Loud and clear.
Yet they rang in my mind like I had imagined them.

'Take her spine out.'
A very dangerous command uttered against me.
And yet I still couldn't move.

I had heard those words and I was still frozen in shock.

Unfortunately, Damon had also heard them, and was ever willing to oblige.

I could feel his fingers and claws pushing past my flesh, tearing muscle and sinew along the way as he continued to inch closer and closer to my spine.

The pain was searing and numbing at the same time.
I gasped and could only let out silent screams and breathless grunts. My body was still not functioning the way it was supposed to. My motor nerves were defunct but my sensory nerves were working overtime. I could feel every ounce of pain and then some.

So when he finally made contact with my spine I felt chills all over my body. From my scalp straight to my toe tips.

His hand slowly wrapped itself around the girth of my spinal column, the gaping hole in my back causing unending searing pain.

He now had a full on grip on me, from the inside. And from the look or lack there of, on his face, he was ready to pull it out. End it.

I can't reach you, you have to let me back in. You're closing the door on me.

I'm trying. I don't know what's happening. Everything is haywire. All I can focus on is the pain.

And the hand in my back.

It scared me. I knew or at least I believed it wouldn't kill me. But this would end me.
With my remaining resolve I looked up at him and tried to reach him for all that I was worth.

"Damon." I sputtered, blood beginning to pool in my mouth. It was getting hard to breathe. Was he gripping into my lungs as well? "Don't do this," I pleaded. His dark eyes were completely unfazed, not even acknowledging me. "Fight it!" I let out. "I know you're stronger than this Damon. fight it!"

I finally got a little control back in my arms, and it was not nearly enough to fight back or release myself from this vice grip he had on me. But I didn't need them for that.

I reached out grabbing his head to make him look at me.
"You're not going to do this. You're stronger than that." Nothing. It was like nothing I said registered.
Like he couldn't hear my words, only Sarah's.

Only Sarah's.

Because it was Sarah that was using him.

I had to speak to Sarah.
So with a little less delicacy and more vigor, I yanked at his shirt and head again. Forcing him to look down at me. Even if it's going to be eye contact with those creepy black eyes. "If you are going to dismember me then you could at least look at me." I growled. "Look at me Sarah!"

Slowly turning his head toward me, he finally looked down. Eyes still completely black and void of everything.

I could feel my energy coming back to me oh so slowly. Way too slowly.
