"it's been a week since we took her back. A week since, and there's nothing but silence from the rouges. That means trouble father, something feels off. " Emily said as the two of us went after him in the garden.
"their silence means we have time to figure things out. We're too much of a mess, we need to fill the holes." Mr. Aranck said calmly and looked aroud, admiring the beautiful garden his wife grew outside thr house.
"if we won't do something and act, the only holes we'll need to fill are the holes in our chests." Emily said angrily and balled up her fist.
"she still hasn't woken up. They did something to her, even her wolf doesn't respond to me." I said right after her, clear worry all over my face. My mate is unconscious and if I couldn't see her breathing, I would've thought she was dead. It sure feels like it. "it feels like she's gone. The pain is killing me." I said as my voice was shaking, tears were threatening to come out as I felt a burning sensation in every bone in my body. Something was definitely wrong. Mr. Aranck turned to face me as the face of hopelessness spread on his face as well.
"we have to wait. " he simply said and walked past me to walk back on the path inside the house. My blood was now boiling with anger. My teeth were out and my eyes were shining as I half shifted, growling loudly as I took the nearest stone bench and threw it in his direction but purposely missing him, making it crash against the wall of the house. He stopped moving for a second before starting to move again and walking inside as if nothing happened.
"don't take it to heart, it's hard on him too. I'm not saying I approve his ways but he's the Alpha and my father." Emily said behind me as we watched him go. "you should go be with her. I'll deal with him." she said and squeezed my hand before walking after him. I took some deep breaths to calm myself down, and though it barely worked, at least it made me come back into my human form. I ran my hands through my hair and took a minute to just stand in yhe middle of the garden, closing my eyes and letting myself enjoy the sounds of birds. To listen to the wind blowing between the trees, making the leaves make this calming sound that somehow eased my pain a little. And then I though about it, and about her. About how bad her injuries are. It's been a week and they haven't healed yet, a week and still she's asleep. I felt the tears roll down my cheeks and I let out a sob. I pulled myself together quickly after that, and turned to walk inside the house. I walked up the stairs into our room and entered, closing the door behind me. I stood and looked at her sleeping body. She looked so.. Gone. I walked slowly and climbed on our bed, laying beside her. I turned on my side and reached my hand to caress her cheek softly. Observing her wounded face and thinking how beautiful she was, even with bruises and cut lip.
"please come back to me.." I whispered as I started to cry again but I didn't stop it this time. My tears dampen the pillow and I snuggled close to her, drowning myself in her sweet cherry scent as I clutched onto her shirt. I fell asleep eventually, tired from crying. My dreams were filled with her face, with her voice and her laugh. I dreamt about memories of us together..kissing, laughing, talking.. Of us making love. It all turned dark quickly. She was gone suddenly, all I could see was darkness and the only thing I heard was her voice, echoing in my dreams. "save me.. " she said. The whispers grew louder and I felt like something was holding me, something sharp digging in my neck and I opened my eyes to see her beautiful eyes staring right back at me. But she had no feelings behind them. She stared back blankly at me and I realized the sharp object was actually her hand and her claws clutching around my neck, my breathing became shallow. "Kristen... What are you doing?" I barely managed to say. "Kristen.. " I begged as I looked into her eyes as my hands struggled to push her off of me and tears rolled down my cheek. She growled and tightened her hand around my neck, her claws digging in my skin and drawing blood out onto the white sheets. Her eyes suddenly turned softer as a frown spread on her face and tears were streaming down her cheeks.
"Jessica.. Make it stop... Please." she whimpered and her grip tightened even harder and I started to gasp for air as the blood entered my lungs. I tried speaking but everything became blurry. I heard screaming and Kristen's hand was no longer on my neck. I coughed out blood and my wolf kicked in and started healing me, my vision becoming clearer. I sat up and looked up to see Emily and Keegan holding Kristen down as she was growling at my direction. My hand went to touch my neck that was covered with my own blood but my wounds already healed.
"what the hell is wrong with her?" Keegan asked and looked up at Emily who just stared at him hopelessly.
"she tried to kill me." I said quietly, more to myself. Mr Aranck burst through the door and looked between his daughter to me and back to Kris.
"take her to the cellar and chain her." he said and Emily and Keegan obeyed. They picked her up and dragged her down the stairs as almost every memeber of the pack watched in shock. I followed behind them and watched as they chained her and stepped back.
"what have they done to her father?" Emily asked and turned to look at her dad.
"Keegan, call Hanna, we need her." he said and Keegan nodded before walking up the stairs and out of the cellar.
"what the hell do we need that witch for? She's the worst person I know!" Emily objected.
"maybe. But she's a good witch and by the look of it.. " he stopped momentarily to look at Kristen who pulled at her chains. "we need one hell of a witch."
"father.. Make it stop! Please!" Kristen shouted hopelessly and growled again. "the.. Orchid... " she stuttered and her attitude changed again, she pulled at her chains with her eyes locked on me.
"knock her out." Mr. Aranck said coldly and Emily hesitated but she eventually took a step forward and took a hold of Kristen's head before slamming it back against the pole she was tied to. She blacked out and silence suddenly filled the room.
"she tried to kill me." I mumbled to myself again.
"it wasn't me." I heard Kristen's voice echoing in ny head. The mind link. It's working. "save me Jessica.." I heard her whisper and then it was gone. I tried calling her name through the mind link but she wasn't there anymore.
"we'll fix her, Jess. as much as I despise the girl, I can't deny she's a good witch. If there's anything I trust her with, is to get our Kristen back." Emily said as she stared down at her sister.
"who is she? I never heard of her." I asked and stared at her as well.
"Hanna Lake. Strongest witch on this area, I have to say. She used to date Keegan but her powers made her a bitch, she thinks very highly of herself you see? Once you ask her a favor she starts demanding things, thinking she's a fucking queen." Emily muttered. "she cheated on him. I don't think there's a need to explain how things went from there. But she's good at what she does, i'll give her that. Her ancestors were a part of the White Waters council, their guardians."
"she sure sounds like a drama queen." I said and Emily chuckled beside me. "do you really think she can tell us what's wrong with her? Fix her?" I asked and turned my head to look at Emily.
"I sure hope so Jessica.. " she said quietly and turned to leave, walking up the stairs and out of the cellar.
