Shadow's Curse

Chapter 12

Adam's POV

When we went into that fortress, I was told we were saving a girl and a boy. I didn't know we were going to rescue my mate. The moment I saw her, I knew she was the one.

I carried her out of the fortress bridal-style considering she couldn't walk. She probably hasn't seen light or even stood up in weeks. All I can smell is roses and lilacs on her, her scent is very soothing and calm. Soon enough, she falls asleep in my arms.

"Get the traitor." Chase orders to Carson.

"He isn't awake, yet." Carson looks behind me.

"Drag him. He needs to stand before trial for what he's done."

We exit the fortress and I place her in the back of the truck. She is still asleep and Ella bandages he leg and stomach. She looks pretty bad, bruised everywhere. Her sister is very sweet and gentle. I ask her name.

"Annabeth." She says. Sweet name. I wonder what her sister's name is...

"What's your sisters name?..." I point to the back seat.

"That's Cresta. She's the best sister ever!" Considering what Annabeth has been through, she is very calm and optimistic. I better not remind her of what happened.

"Oh, Cresta. That's a beautiful name."

"Yeah, Crescent's name is that way too."

"Who's Crescent?"

"Her twin brother, he's gone though. Just like mommy and daddy." She has a sad smile on her face.

"I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for what happened. Would you like to have a new family?"

"I have Cresta."

"Oh. Well you will have to meet a lot of people in our pack. They will adore you!" I put on her seatbelt and I put on mine.

"Really? I have black spots and...cuts everywhere." She yawns.

"So does your sister... It will get better. Trust me."

~--Later--~

We are about ten minutes away from home and Cresta is still asleep.

"When will we be there?"

"In like ten minutes."

"Oh, thanks."

"Welcome."

She stares over at my arm and sees my scar. It's still healing from a rouge attack we had a week ago. She pushed up my shirt and sees the remaining marks.

"What happened?" Her eyes are as huge and she has a faint smile and an adorable dimple.

"Somebody attacked me, why do you ask?"

"Who?"

"A-"

"Werewolf? Certainly a vampire or demon couldn't do that!"

She looks over at my face and sees me frowning. "Sorry...for interrupting."

"That's okay, you are just curious."

We pull into the driveway and start to park the car. "Between you and me, a rouge attacked me."

"Woah! What's a rouge?"

"A person or werewolf separated or exiled from the pack. You haven't been to school yet have you?"

"No" she frowns and looks out the window, gripping the door handle.

"I will make sure you do. Okay?"

"I've always wanted to go to school!!"

"Well are we just going to sit here or are we going inside? Can you help me with Cresta?"

"Yeah. Let me open the door." She gladly opens the door and helps me carry Cresta.

"I got her leg!" She gladly carries her leg inside with me.

"Goofball."

I walk to the pack hospital and place her in a bed. She's so beautiful when she's asleep. Her hair is so brown, her skin so pale yet calm and mysterious. I wonder what she's like awake.

Cresta's POV

I have a strange dream. An angel with bloodied wings stands before a mirror. It softens and grooms its magnificent wings and stretches them out. There is three figures in front of it, bowing over looking sickly and ragged. "Please! Have mercy." One screams. "Save our souls." Another says. "Please, for my family!" I recognize my mom, dad and Crescent. The angel takes my brother by surprise and takes out a blade. "No! Stop! Don't hurt them! Take me instead!" It glances over at me and screams, "Oh don't worry, I will get you too." It shoves the blade into dad's side. "Dad! How dare you!" and takes mom and Crescent and flies torward me. "I will spare his, omachani. Helgso al tomerna salas me clecher. Beware." He flies off and I wake up in tears. I wake in a hospital bed.

"I thought you wouldn't wake up ever again!"

"It's so good to see you to Annabeth!"

"You have been asleep for a long time."

"How long?"

"A week."

Adam walks into the room.

"Good Morning. How was your week long slumber?"

I have butterflies in my stomach and scents of serenity are in my mind. I remember his grip is so strong and fierce.

"Great! I really needed it." I'm rubbing my wrists and my stomach is in a lot of pain. I try to sit up but it only makes it worse.

"Don't sit up, Doctor's orders."

"Okay... Why does everything hurt?"

"Your leg is broken but with your newfound werewolf blood, it should heal soon. Your stomach however is infected. Your healing time should last longer not to mention the cuts and bruises. I'm sorry." He frowns and shoves his hands in his pocket.

"Don't be, it isn't your fault."

"I know." He smiles and plays with my hair, it's very comforting.
