Alpha Brothers - The Trickster (book 4)

Chapter 5

Chapter 5
Bleu
I had a plan. I had been planning for three days and was now ready to put it into action.
Harrison and I were going to go to the Low pack today. We would be taking a limo like normal. I'll be in the back alone and Harrison will be in the front with the driver. He always did that. I wasn't sure why.
From there, I will be taken to the boundary of the Low Pack. There, Harrison will try and lead the pack member to us and I would force him to submit. However instead of making the werewolf to submit, I will take them out. I wasn't strong enough to kill Harrison, which was the main reason why I hadn't tried to escape before. But now I was ready.
There were so many things that could go wrong with my plan. In fact, my plan was a failure, I just knew it.
One, my magic won't even work or will be uncontrollable because I haven't used it of my own accord in years. Two, Harrison senses what I was up to and stops me. Three, he gets angry and rips me apart. Or once I finally do get free, Harrison would track me down and bring me straight back. I wasn't great at covering my tracks. Actually I had no idea how to do that.
I knew I should back out of my plan. I should just do as Harrison wished and continue to live under his rule. But I just couldn't do it anymore.
My heart caught in my throat when two werewolves stormed down the stairs. I sat up quickly, on my bed when one pulled open the cell door and the other yanked me to my feet. The other witches gave me looks that I chose to ignore, knowing that this would be the last time I saw them for awhile. I promised myself that I would come back for them. I at least owed them that.
The werewolves led me through the great hall of the house and out the front door. The rest of the pack that hung around outside of the house didn't notice me, they never did. Harrison was already in the limo before I was shoved in the back.
I closed my eyes and pretended that I wasn't here. That I wasn't going to make a life threatening decision. All I wanted to do was go home. I hadn't seen my parents in three years. I didn't even get to say goodbye.
We were there before I even realized. The driver stopped, in the middle of the road where long, tall trees surrounded us. It was only a long tarred stretch of road that continued to go into the distance. Getting out of the car, I looked for an exit for me to run into. I couldn't keep going down the road, he would find me too easily. I would have to run into the forest and spend the night. God, I wouldn't even be able to eat. It was only now that I realized another thing that could go wrong. What if I die from hunger or from the cold?
"He should be here soon," Harrison told me, making me jumped.
I remained in my submission position. Shoulders slightly hunched, eyes to the ground. He wouldn't think anything of it.
"How are you leading him here?" I asked, still not looking at him.
"He's out in the forest and he will follow the scent of an alpha."
"Is that all it takes?" I asked.
He nodded, "He's a new rogue, apart of a new pack. It won't be that hard to make him submit again."
I nodded again, swallowing my morals just so that I could get through this. Not wanting to hurt another person, I asked, "Do you want to take the chains off now?"
He frowned, suspicious at why I was eager to get the chains off. Normally I would try and put this off as long as I had to. But today, I didn't have a choice.
Trying to convince him that I wasn't trying to trick him, I said, "So you can grab him straight away. I want to get this over with."
At my words, he nodded and took the chains off me. My heart started to beat in my ears and I could feel my cheeks start to burn. My body had become hot and sweaty. I didn't even give him a chance. As soon as that last chain was off me, I threw a punch. He groaned and stumbled back as I screamed in pain. Did I just break my hand?
"You stupid witch!" he growled, running at me.
With one sway of my hand, his neck broke and he fell to the ground like a sack of potatoes. Just as the driver got out of the car to finish the job, I snapped his neck too. Neither of them were dead but they would be out for long enough for me to get away.
"Oh God!" I yelled before I could stop myself.
I couldn't describe the feeling. I was free. Oh my God, I was free. As much as relief filled me from head to toe, there was dread at the back of my mind. Yes, I was free. But for how long?
I ran into the forest. I wasn't heading in any sort of direction, as far as I knew, I was going in circles. Find a lake or river, I told myself, or a cave or a house.
Thorn bushes, scratched my legs and tore my jeans but I couldn't afford to stop. The mist hung low in the air, sicking to my skin as my breath was turned to ghosts in front of me. My cheeks burned and so did my nose as I continued to run. My feet began to ache after a few minutes and my lungs felt like they would burst if I didn't stop soon but I couldn't stop.
I felt something inside of me and I knew that it was my waking magic. It was no longer contained in the chains that kept me from using it. Now it was burning in my body, wanting me to control it. But I couldn't. I didn't know how.
Keep going, I told myself, don't stop!
I squeezed my eyes shut, continuing to run. My feet stumbled down gullies and I struggled up slops. Tears began to fall from my eyes as my body cried out in pain.
Falling to my knees, I shook away my tears. What had I gotten myself into?
I didn't know what I was doing, where I was going. I'd be lucky if I got out of this alive.
Just keep going, I told myself, struggling to my feet before I started to run again. Don't stop till it's dark.
And when it gets dark, I don't know what I'll do.
