Into The Woods

Two Wars Inside Us

Amelia's vision was blurred, and her head was bobbing side to side.

   Amelia's body felt too heavy to move. The metal chair was ice to her body.

  The room was blurry, but from what she saw, it was cold. The metal room had a mirror, which could have only been a one sided mirror.

   Amelia tried to raise her head, but suddenly it fell back down.

  Her arms were tied to the chair arms, and her legs were tied to the legs of the chair.

  Amelia closed her eyes and just rested. She felt tired, and restless.

  Suddenly, the door, which Amelia hadn't noticed, swung open.

  Lacey was there. Amelia suddenly felt more power. Amelia rumbled her chair. Lacey laughed, "Is that all you got?"

  Amelia gritted her teeth, "Where's Penny?"

   Lacey shrugged, "I'm not sure. I didn't need her."

  Amelia raised her brow, "Why not?"

   Lacey pointed, "I needed you." Amelia frowned confused.

  Lacey leaned against the door frame, "There is two wars inside us. Our wolf, and our human. Your human has took over, but I'll get the wolf back."

  Amelia tilted her head, "Why?"

  Lacey chuckled, "I need your father to loose everything he loved, being human, is one."

   Amelia yelled, "You won't get away with this!"

   Lacey spun on her heels, "Oh, I already have." she said and continued out the door.

   Suddenly a large male appeared.

  Amelia began rumbled the chair around, creating large thuds as the legs hit the metal floor.

  The man introduced himself, "You can call me Pain, because that's what I cause."

   Amelia stopped rumbling as the man took a few strides and put his hand around her neck.

   Amelia's eyes began watering, and her body began shaking.

  He hushed her, "Don't be scared-" he squeezed her neck harder, "well, I'd be lying if I said it won't hurt."

  Amelia let a single tear roll down her cheek. Amelia let out a struggling sound, and the man used his upper body strength to lift her off the ground.

  Blade was tracking her down, while Garth and Darren were arguing.

  Garth protested, "My fault? You kept her here!"

  Darren scoffed, "You lied," and he folded his arms, "and this is what it came to."

  Garth gritted his teeth, "Blade," he looked over, "do you know where she is?"

  Blade shrugged, "From what I tell she was dragged."

     Garth tilted his head, "Is that all?"

  Trudy was breathing heavily as she approached, "I couldn't find her."

  Garth sighed, and Blade continued, "I think I know which way."

   Blade began in the direction which he thought Amelia was.

   Garth was walking beside him, "Are you two-"

  Blade cut him off, "What?"

   Garth chuckled, "You seem really determined."

  Blade halted, as a tree limb almost hit him. He was caught off guard by the question. He moved the tree limb, "I'm always determined to find a pack member."

  Blade continued.

  Amelia's lip was swollen and bleeding. Her nose had blood rolling down, and her eye was swollen and blue.

   She had cuts on her arms, and she was still tied down.

   Amelia wasn't fully aware of anything at the moment. Lacey was standing the door way, and she was gazing at Amelia's broken body.

   "Justin," she said and looked to the, whom Amelia knew as Pain, man, "break her soul, too."

    Justin chuckled, as she saw her head struggle to raise, but then fail and fall back down into a bobbing sway, "I think it already is."

   Lacey walked out of the door frame, and Pain cracked his knuckles.
