Never Again: Chapter 82
Iris's POV
So maybe I was lost, not physically lost. I knew exactly where I was, just mentally lost.
It was afternoon time and I was laying wolf form by the water. I didn't go home last night, but I knew everyone was okay. Christian got home after Rose and Niall did some dirty things upstairs. Niall was pretty loud. But after I made sure Christian made it inside okay, after the million of trips he made carrying the groceries inside, I went deeper into the woods and fell asleep.
Now I was staring at my purple eyes in the reflection of the water I was standing over, they were way too bright. It wasn't the same purple that meant love. It was like a black with a tint of purple, and it represented darkness. There was no hiding it anymore. Until my wolf killed someone she was going to be dark, and sooner or later she would become completely dark and blood thirsty.
I sighed and got up, I was sad I didn't like feeling weak. 'But that's what we are isn't it?' My wolf asked and all i could say was yes.
We made our way back to the house, my wolf was tired an she didn't care what people thought. She wasn't even angry when I brought up the whole 'Zayn doesn't even give a shit about me' thought. She simply agreed and we both listened to the silence that was in our hearts.
I padded up the steps and walked inside. The door was always open, probably for my benefit. It was hard opening a door if you were in wolf form and I always was, so they just left the door open.
I walked into the living room, and first noticed Harry and Zayn. They both were talking about who knows what but stopped when they saw me. Actually everyone stopped what they were doing when they saw me. The hunters, and the whole pack was in the living room and they all were studying me the only people who weren't in here were Louis and Christian. I guess the Daemon was still downstairs, sleeping.
I didn't say anything, I just laid in front of the fire place. Setting my head on my paws. I breathed in deeply, and avoided the eyes of others. The hunters were whispering to each other, and then Dominic walked up and petted my head. Usually I would have bit who's ever hand it was off, but my wolf didn't bother caring.
Dominic gave Rose a worried look and then they both looked at Zayn. Zayn was studying me as well, no one was saying anything and the silence was sort of unbearable. Zayn got off the couch and sat down next to my head.
He was wearing his lip ring and he had his eyebrow pierced. I bet he had his nipple rings in. I remember the first time we had sex, the night I was changed. My wolf shuddered. Zayn was wearing his nipple piercings then too. His ears are also pierced but he wasn't wearing anything in his ears at the moment.
Finally my wolf scooted closer and laid her head on Zayn's lap. She whined loudly. It was a whine full of pain and despair. It would break even the happiest person's heart to hear my wolf whine like that. Zayn ran is fingers through my hair and studied my purple eyes. But as I watched my eyes in the reflection of Zayn's they went to such a deep shade of blue that you would think that my wolf was crying.
"Iris?" Rose asked sitting down across from Zayn. I would have lifted my head but I fell asleep In Zayn's arms. And I really didn't want to wake up. So I snuggled deeper into Zayn's lap, and enjoyed the sound of his peaceful breathing.
I woke up to Zayn's intoxicating smell, I heard screaming in the kitchen area and knew the hunters must be torturing the Daemon. I looked up at Zayn and he was sleeping against the fire place wall with his hand tangled in my fur.
My wolf was begging me to get closer to him. So I crawled even closer, Zayn's hand fell from my fur and my wolf whined. Zayn's eyes fluttered opened and he gave me a half smile. He looked so tired and so my wolf nosed him off the wall and crawled behind Zayn's back so he could rest on us, instead of the rock wall. He smiled and snuggled into our fur and my wolf sighed peacefully, as he fell asleep.
"IRIS, ZAYN!" Someone shouted making me wake up. Zayn jumped awake and scurried to his feet. I jumped up behind him and gave him a curious look.
'What would he be like if he didn't love the alphas more than us' my wolf asked sadly. 'What would it be like if he actually loved us' I asked her in reply and we both went quiet and followed Zayn into the kitchen.
Suddenly I was tackled to the floor. I whipped my head back to see Rose's white fur.
"More Daemons are outside," her wolf growled to mine and I nodded.
"Where is Christian?" I asked her inside my head.
"Louis took him out this morning,"she explained and I nodded. That's why I didn't see them earlier.
I lifted my head up to see the unconscious Daemon in the chair. Rose got off of me and I looked outside through the kitchen window. You could see about 6 Daemons, it reminded me of my dream with the 6 prisoners and my wolf actually cowered away.
'No you wuss we are not backing down!' I screamed at my wolf but she wasn't as strong as she could be. And she really was afraid of her strength, just like I was.
Suddenly Niall charged outside and Rose flanked his side, Zayn and Harry backed them up, and then hunters guarded the sleeping hunter. Suddenly 5 more Daemons ran from the woods and what sucked was that the Daemons pack is huge so even if we managed to kill these members there would still be more.
My wolf whined loudly and cowered down, this caught Dominic's attention. He walked over and knelt down by me. I didn't know why my wolf was so scared of her self, but she was and that made me slightly terrified.
You could hear the breaking of bones and tearing flesh and screams of pain. My wolf was intrigued by it but stayed cowardly in the kitchen.
"Iris go and help your pack," Dominic said and my wolf whined in response. "Go on do it for Aden and Liam, and your parents!" Dominic said and my tattoos burned at that. I knew that meant my eyes were purple, but as scary as we looked we were truly more afraid of our selves than anyone else could be.
My wolf got up and trotted outside. 3 more Daemons emerged from the trees and my wolf growled at them. But she stopped walking and kind of just sat down. We watched as Rose and Niall attacked 5 of the daemons while Zayn and Harry fought one each. But that meant their was still 7 left and they were now helping the others take down our pack.
"IRIS HELP!" Rose ordered but my wolf only whined in response. Then suddenly we were hit with something and it hit us on the top of our spine sending us both unconscious.
Something was wrong with my wolf.
*************
I slowly woke up but I couldn't move, I fluttered my eyes open, and there was blood everywhere the Daemons bodies were getting throw into a massive fire. Zayn, Harry, Niall and the hunters were doing that. The smell of burning flesh was thick but my wolf liked it. Then I noticed a presence next to me, it was Rose.
"Hey Iris, your awake." she said smiling sadly.
"Yes I am" I said in a monotone inside my head. Since I was still in my wolf form.
"How is she?" asked a voice to the back of me but I couldn't move my head to see.
"She will be okay in an hour, but as of right now she is paralyzed." Rose said and I sighed.
"What hit me?" I asked Rose through my mind.
"One of the Daemons smashed a rock on your spine. They knew the best way to take the power away was if one of us wasn't conscious, and you were an easy target. They knew if one of us isn't helping the other means we aren't as powerful. But luckily I managed to take their wolves away, like all of them at once and then I passed out and Niall and everyone finished the job." Rose explained and I was visibly shocked that she could do that.
"You took all of them away at once?!" I screamed in my mind and she smiled a sad smile.
"Yes, it took a lot of strength but I did it. I could also feel all their wolves emotions." Rose said sadly.
"I'm sorry," I whispered before I fell unconscious again. I hope no one else got hurt.
****************
I woke up again and it was dark out, I was laying on something that made me feel safe. I focused my eyes and realized it was Zayn. He was passed out on the bed and my giant head was resting on his chest. His arm was bandaged from his wrist to his shoulder. And my wolf whined loudly, I wondered if Rose got hurt too?
My heart hurt at the thought, my whole body was sore. I could finally move so I turned human and snuggled up to Zayn. He smiled lazily at me, and then kissed my head. We didn't say anything. I guess we both didn't know what to say, we hadn't really talked in forever though. It was okay though, knowing Zayn was next to me made me feel safe.
I closed my eyes and let Zayn's heavy breathing pull me back to sleep.
It's amazing, how much I could sleep when I felt safe. I just hope the rest of the pack and the hunters were okay too.
