The Last Thing I Did

Chapter 15

***

Deadlive could feel Wolfsbane in the air and looked up at the ventilation that was spreading it. She tried to leave as soon as possible but Benjamin was smart enough to surround the building in Monkshood. As she was trying other ways to escape she could feel that it was getting harder to breathe and Benjamin was watching her with joy. Before she could say anything to him like: 'you're an asshole' she fell unconscious on the ground.

...

She woke up next to her beloved daughter , chained on a chair. Deadlive was trying to figure out how she couldn't have felt his presence in the building when he was clearly there. After trying to kill Deadlive for millennia now Benjamin figured out how she works. "You haven't changed since the last time I saw you", Benjamin says with a big smile on his face. "What are you doing to her", she asked looking at Rea who's still unconscious. "You don't need to worry about her right now", Benjamin says walking up to her setting the same fuse like Rea. "So you're just going to weaken me and then kill me, how pathetic", Deadlive says frustrated that she can't do anything at the moment. Benjamin chuckled because of her reaction. What Benjamin is planning on doing is something far more painful. While she still has her strength she tried to make his blood boil but he didn't seem to feel anything. "You seem to forget that I created the Supernatural and therefore have a higher status than you no matter how the wolves see you", Benjamin says when he notices what she's trying to do. "I told you when you locked me up in your dimension that I will always come back until I finish what I started and I will. This time I can tell you for sure that you won't survive and neither will your little puppet over there", he says and Deadlive felt a rush of guilt build up inside her when he said puppet. She wondered if her other children before her saw her like that as well, unfortunately she will never know because Benjamin killed them. "You've been telling me that I'll die for millennia now and yet I'm still here", Deadlive says to agitate him. "In that millennia I have learned a lot Deadlive, I observed your behavior while I was captured by you and learned how you work", he tells her. "Now, I need to know. What are Rea's abilities?" she looked with despise at him. "Rea is a very closed person and it's hard to read her, I haven't noticed any abilities besides mind reading." Deadlive didn't know the answer as well, they barely talked about stuff like that. She has been in the dream realm once so Deadlive can't tell for sure if that's one of her abilities, and if so she wouldn't tell him. "Why should I tell you", she asked him. "The longer and the stronger you have Winter in your system the more fatal it'll become and eventually you die, and trust me this time you won't come back", Benjamin said.

Voss had a constant feeling of anxiety and it was driving him crazy. He knew that Benjamin was experimenting on her right now and there's nothing he can do. Dakota has always protected Benjamin so there's no way they can just burst in. "There must be something we can do", Voss said to Sully. They've already alarmed the other packs but it'll take some of them three days to travel here and till then Voss could already do something himself. "We actually don't need permission to pass on his land, he's betraying the Upper Alpha", Voss said then before Sully had a chance to speak. "We can't transform or people will notice we're HellWolves and then we ruin Rea's reputation", Sully said and Voss growled annoyed. Their transformation will trigger the moment they are close to Benjamin, since he created their species. "We need to wait for the other Alpha's, that's our only option. Besides Rea does have powers to try and kill Benjamin, right?" Voss shook his head in response and looked at Sully for a few seconds. "Let's just hope that the Alpha's get here in time", he sighed.

Rea woke up in the dream realm but this time it looked differently, it looked like the grassfield where she always went with Shaddix, with the small river flooding through the field. This time her mother wasn't around and she was thankful for that. As Rea was walking through the field she noticed a few doors standing in the middle. When she went to approach them she was that the doors were engraved with names, written with a gold ink. "What is this", she said to herself confused. When she came across her mothers name she knew what the doors represent: each door leads to someone's dreams. 'The other doors must be from pack members', she thought. Rea entered the door with her mothers name and saw the memory of the day when she had to kill Falk that day. She scoffed: 'it has been millennia and she still hasn't gotten over it.' Then she saw her mother. "Looks like Benjamin took ahold of you as well", Rea said with crossed arms. Her mother who suddenly realizes she's in the dreamworld looks confused at her. "How'd you get here on your own", Deadlive asked. "I'm asleep too you know", she answered Deadlive's question. She noticed that her mother looked weaker than she normally does. "Why haven't you broken free yet? You're the almighty Moongoddess", Rea mocked her. Her mother was far too tired to get upset with her daughter. "It's not like you've broken free yet", Deadlive said. Rea grinned. Ever since she's been stuck on that damned bed she has been trying to find ways to break free and is now pretty close to breaking the chains. "I'm sure I'll get out of here, but I don't know about you. Benjamin is set on killing you so you better find a way to escape, oh almighty Moongoddess , savior of the world", Rea said. "If he kills me then everything in the Supernatural world dies, you have to help me", Deadlive says and she chuckles: "I don't have to do anything! If the Supernatural world died then Benjamin wouldn't be able to come back as well. There you have your solution! Kill yourself and spare us of all the trouble that Benjamin will cause." With those words said she got out of the dream world and woke up.

Her hands were all bloody because she has put her nails in herself so that the Winter doesn't stay in her body. With a bit of a struggle she got out of the chains and out of the bed. Her vision was a bit blurry because she had lost quite some blood in the time she's been here. She glanced over to her mother who had quite a few deep cuts on her arms and the same infusion that Rea had. Suddenly the door went open and Benjamin stood there looking surprised at her. "Are you leaving already", he asked her , closing the door. "You've got my mother, you don't need me anymore", she said looking with narrowed eyes at him. "You're just going to leave your mother here? You know that I plan on killing her , right", he asked her. "If she dies , you'll die with her then the problem is gone and then my purpose is done", she says. Benjamin went quiet for a second. She read his thoughts and then took him by his throat, which wasn't such a smart idea. "I'll make sure you're going to stay dead this time", she said strengthening her grip around his throat. "I'd like to see you try", Benjamin said. His eyes glowed yellow and he set her nails into her throat which made her let go of him. "You're stronger than I thought", he said realizing that she could read his thoughts. "I didn't plan on killing you Rea, but you're not leaving me a choice here." Rea is a wolf without any self control right now, which means that she's far more dangerous than her own mother and Benjamin will soon come to realize that. She made a chain with the core being her anger which is raging inside the chain. "Wanna have a taste", she asked him.
