WILD HUMANS (previously After School, Extra Credit.)

Chapter 28

Chapter 28

(Isaac's POV)  

      I held her as tight as I could, her red hair caressing my cheeks, our embrace pulsing with our love. Oh my god, I missed her so....

     I broke back to reality with Brody clearing his throat loudly.

      "We still have paperwork." Brody said bitterly. Jocelyn, still trembling, held onto my arm as I walked and sat down beside her in the leather chair in front of Brody's desk. The chair was big enough for her to sit closely beside me. She still wouldn't let go of me. I wrapped my arms around her, trying to assure her that she was safe. Brody moved to a silver filing cabinet, and thumbed through the manilla folders. 

       Hurry up...Hurry up......I just want to get her out of this horrible place... She's been here long enough.

        He took his time finding the right folder, and slowly walked back to his desk, flipping it open and clicking a silver pen.

      "The Wild, unbred female you captured for me was worth the $173,000 you were in debt to me for your purchase of this female here." He flicked his pen towards Jocelyn. I bit my tounge at the degrading guesture of calling her this female.... 

       "What is she registered as?" Brody asked, scribbling down some notes.

       "Jocelyn Rae Yates." I replied, twirling her hair. He typed something on his computer. With a heavy click, he turned back to face me.

       "Your contract as a Hunter under my employment is now revoked." He said with finality as he grandly signed the paper. He closed the folder, and handed it to me. I snatched it, and stood up quickly.

        "Her files and registration are in the folder. It was good doing buisness with you." He nodded, dismissing us. Jocelyn tugged on my arm gently, and I began walking with her towards the door.

        My feet stopped me. I turned slowly, Jocelyn still holding my arm.

        "Isaac..." She said, her voice barely a shaky whisper. "Lets go..." 

         I faced Brody, who had turned to his laptop and had begun to type. 

        "Brody." I said, breaking his concentration. He glanced up for a moment before returning his eyes to the screen.

        "What became of her...." I asked, my heart rate quickening at the thought of the possible answers. He smiled.

        "Of who?" He didn't look up.

         "The girl...." I said a little more sternly. His smile widened as he continued to mess with me.

         "Now, Isaac, you'll have to be more specific. I have several females who come and go in this-"

         "What did you do with Claire." I said, my voice rising. My adrenaline was heightening.....

        "Oh, the young fighter. She's under my care now." My stomach dropped at the bluntness. I didn't like this.

        "And her wrist.....?" I asked, still holding onto the quivering Jocelyn, but turning my body towards Brody. He didn't look up from typing. 

         "Just a bad sprain." 

         The answer briefly lightened the heaviness on my thoughts... But not on my conscious. I tried to block it out of my mind as I held my tounge, and didn't say anymore. I wrapped an arm around Jocelyn and we hurried out the door.

      (Claire's POV)

           "Oh my god, this is really good. You made this?" I said, shoveling another bite of lasanga in my mouth. I was starving. As I was shoving another forkfull into my mouth, I blushed as I noticed Grayson staring at me.

          "Yeah I made this." He chuckled. He finished his plate and put it on the night stand. He had brought me a plate of lasanga to my room, and one for himself. When I ate the first plate-full, he just smiled and went downstairs and came back with another.

        Any other time, I probably would have tried to control myself, but I swear food never tasted this good as it filled my empty stomach.

         "You really were a "little" hungry, weren't you? Haha." He laughed, pouring a glass of water,  and taking a sip. He was sitting on his chair, facing me.

         "How are you feeling?" He asked.

         "Better. I have a really bad headache..." I replied. He stood up and went to the counter. He came back briefly with a bottle of Tylenol. 

         "Here. These should help..." He said, handing me two small red pills and a new glass of water. I swallowed them as he sat back down.

         "Well, we've got a couple more hours until Master will be back.  Now, I told you my story. But you never told me your story. I'm curious." He said, setting the glass down, and taking my empty plate. I adverted my eyes. 

        "I was kidnapped from a restraunt by my teacher... er... a student teacher. Who I had thought was a teacher...I guess." I said, trying not to think about it... He looked at me.

       "So what happened to your wrist...?" He inquired, looking at me closer.

       I let out a small, sad laugh. 

       "Well...when he got me in the car, I quickly realized what was going on. So.... I tried to break through the window." I said, running my hand over my bandage. He stared at me.

        "With your hand?" He asked with a chuckle.

        "Yeah, haha, it was pretty stupid-"

        "Pretty badass. At least you put up a fight." He smiled, wiping a few crumbs off of his pants. I blushed. Why the hell did I keep blushing.......I made a mental note to try and stop letting my cheeks redden so easily.

        "Anyways... I managed to unlock the car doors and run. But he eventually caught up to me, and not long after, Brody caught up with us. And he took me to the hospital, for my hand...and here I am." I said with a sigh. Grayson let the words hang for a moment before speaking.

     "You know..." His tone was solemn and serious. "... I don't know what Brody's plans for you are..."

     My eyes jerked up to meet his. I felt a numbness run over my body.

     "...but I promise I will do my best to keep you safe." Grayson finished, his hands together in front of him. I nodded, swallowing a lump in my throat. 

      "I'm scared..." I whispered.

      "Don't be." He said in a strong voice. "Brody likes knowing he's in control...He feeds off his "alpha male" status. Don't feed that ego, and he won't get the best of you. But obey him....Do what he says. But maintain your dignity. Don't submit to him." He advised me. I drank in each word of advice.

      He stopped speaking, then looked at me long and hard.

      "Claire?" He asked.

      "Yes...?" I asked quietly, unsure of what he was thinking...

     Silence.

      "What is it??" I asked again.

      "Please tell me you are not a virgin."

       I froze, my heart dropped into the pit of my stomach and I felt my cheeks grow tomato red.

       "I am....."

       He sighed heavily, furrowing his eyebrows, pinching the bridge of his nose with his fingers.

       "Then I know exactly what Brody's plans for you are."
