I Promise To Fight

Chapter 8: The Agonizing Wait

Dameon's POV

It has been almost two weeks since Ariadne has been vanished. I have no idea as to where she is. I've hired the best trackers to find her, but it was hopeless. Whoever abducted her covered their trail so well, that not even the best trackers in the galaxy could find her. I felt so defeated. So worthless. So helpless. I didn't know what to do. Every day that she didn't reappear, every day that we didn't find a clue as to where she's located, caused my frustration to grow more and more by the second. She had me wrapped around her fingers and didn't even know it at all.

One thing I knew for sure was that she didn't run away. She wouldn't leave Lulu behind. I wish I could say it was me instead but that would be a big fat lie. She became way to attached to that dog to abandon her. Not to mention that I have this whole place on lockdown, so it wouldn't have been difficult for someone to notice her escaping.

What befuddled my whole entire being was how she was taken away. Right outside her room was two guards that made sure no one can enter or leave without my permission. They would've saw her departure. Furthermore, her room is positioned on the second floor, so that would be a long drop out the window, leading to excruciating pain. If that had happened, it most likely would have alerted everyone on the premises as to what was going on. She would've been seen by the two guards that walked on this perimeter of the house. I checked the surveillance tapes again and again but nothing stood out of the blue. If anything it didn't show Ariadne's abduction, it was like she never left at all. It had to have been someone on the inside. I know it wasn't one of the pack members. They are family to me and would never do something like this in a million years. Possibly one of the guards but none of them left their posts that night.

I let out an anguish filled sigh. All I was doing was making my earth shattering headache worse from thinking too hard. That's all I've been doing since she's been gone. I miss her so bad. I just wish I could see her one more time. Even listen to her yell at me about something I did. I just want her back. Needed her back. Needed her to be my sunshine on a cloudy day. I dragged my hands across my face, slumping in my chair from defeat, feeling like a failure. I filled up another glass full of hardcore liquor, my one and only best friend at the moment, and let the alcohol drown my feelings of hopelessness. I gladly and willingly let it sail me away from here. The only thought passing through my mind and bouncing against walls of my brain, over and over was: I will find you Ariadne. I promise that I will find you and bring you back to me.
