Chapter 5 - The Voice In My Head

I try to open my eyes but they refuse to go open. I can't move. Suddenly I feel movements, so I probably lay on a bed. This is weird. I hear that someone starts to cry. With all the power I have I open my eyes a bit. The person whom I heard crying is Lucas. I can tell it's him, even though it's dark. He looks hartbroken. What happend? It isn't easy, but I can lift my arm and go with my hand trough his hair. It's supersoft, it reminds me of a fluffy teddybear. He looks up.

''Kendra...''
he doesn't get further but he cries again. Now hugging me like his life depends on it. We stay like this for a while. Then I decide to ask what happend. The result? He starts crying again. I slap him, softly, with my hand against his head.

"Can't you just tell me what happend? You can still speak right?''
What if he lost his voice? He smiles.

''Yes I can speak, but you were almost.. you were almost dead.''
I was almost dead? No way. He must be kidding. When I look up to him I that he's damn serious. I try to sit instead of laying down the whole time, but I don't come far, because of a terrible pain that goes through my body. I have to cry. It hurts like hell. I feel two strong arms around me. Lucas. He will protect me with his life. I know it. He's just one year older than me. In 6 days I'll become sixteen and then I will get my wolf.

"Mate"
What?

"You heard me. I said mate. He. Is. Our. Mate!"
I'm becoming crazy I know it for sure.

"You're not becoming crazy you already were."
I hear the person laugh.

''Who the hell are you?''
I ask the person in my head.

"I'm your wolf you stupid."
Oh. Wait, what? But I'm not sixteen yet.

''Lucas?'' He looks at me.

''Is something wrong?'' He askes with a worried face.

''You stared at the wall for a little while." He says, which makes me look at the clock in front of me.

''Really, a little while Lucas? I stared the last ten minutes.''
I say while raising my eyebrow. He begins to laugh, tears stream down his face. And ofcourse, I have to laugh to and once I start laughing it takes a while before I stop. When I've finally stopped laughing I notice that I'm tired and close my eyes, just so that I can open them right after it. Turning my head I look at Lucas and don't doubt a second until I ask a question.

"Lucas? You can't sleep on that chair, you can sleep with me if you want?" With that said I move a little bit more to the side, basically just telling him to lay here with me.

After a few seconds he stands up from the chair and slowly lies down next to me, making sure he doesn't hurt me. I turn on my side, towards him, which causes me to whimp a little. Even though I lay my head against Lucas' chest and he puts his arm around me. I want to cherish this moment as long as possible, I'll try to stay awake. No matter how tired I am.

- a little while later -

Oh. I fell asleep. Where am I? Oh yeah.. Lucas' room. I look around me and expect to see Lucas, but he's nowhere to be seen. I get out the bed to see where Lucas is. When I walk into the living room I see something terrifying. Lucas is laying on the ground, bleeding every were. As I come closer I see that he has many cuts. I start to panic and run to him. I sit next to him and then I see something reflecting the light. It's a knife. No. He didn't cut himself did he.

"He will heal, he didn't use a silver knife."

"Allright but what can I do?"

"I've got an idea. Just lay next to him and hold him tight. He has a real bad nightmare, but then he will know that you protect him here. You holding him can get him out faster, but make sure that he can't get the knife. You never know his reaction after a nightmare."

"Allright, but how do you know that he has a nightmare?

"Dean, his wolf, told me."

"You can talk with his wolf?" I ask interested.

"Yes I can, but right now that isn't important enough to speak about. You have to help Lucas."

"I'm on my way."
I decide to lay the knife in the sink. I walk to Lucas and lay next to him. The floor doesn't lay good, but I don't care. I have to do this, for Lucas. I put may arms around him and hold him strongly. After a while I feel that he moves.

"Lucas? Are you awake?"
No reaction, so I guess he's still stuck in his nightmare. I try to sleep a bit, but not to deeply, because I have to be awake if he wakes up. When I'm lightly sleeping I feel Lucas move again, but before I can ask him if he's awake I feel pain going through my body. When I look down I see Lucas punched me in my stomach. When I try to roll away he grabs me and pulls me into the air, but not in some kind romantical way. He has a weird look in his eyes. Because of that I know he still isn't out his nightmare and he probably thinks I'm an enemy! He tightens his grip around my neck and I can't breath anymore. Every time a little bit air gets trough it hurts like hell.

"Lucas stop, you're killing me." I whisper, hoping that he would hear me and stop but he doesn't. Instead he closes my throat completely and with all the air I have left I scream his name as hard as I can. He gets an evil smile and pushes harder. It hurts. I have to get away. How?

"How can we get away Kendra?"

"I really don't know. Err, what is your name actually?

"Oh sorry for not introducing myself. My name's Kyra."

"Allright Kyra, do you have an idea how we can get out of this?"

"Well I think we can do something to get away, but I also know that you won't like it." She says with a badass smile.

" Just tell me what it is please."

"Allright... I'd say.. kick him in his balls. I heard that hurts really much."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes. Are you going to do something or are you going to let us die here? That wouldn't be really nice. Ofcourse Luke wil be devastated then."
She says with a sad face.
I decide to do it. When I kick him in his balls I see pain in his eyes. Apparantly it really did hurt. He let me go. I fall on the ground, trying to breath, but it isn't easy. I think Luke pushed way to hard and destroyed my throat completely. I stand up and walk to Lucas. I see that he is fighting to get out of that fucking nightmare.

"Lets help him a bit to get out the nightmare."

"Yeah, good idea."
I slap his face so hard that I can hear that his jaw is bruised. Badly. He looks instantly normal at me. Finally is he out of that freakin' nightmare. I fall down and the last thing I hear him say is
"No no no! Kendra stay with me please. I'm going to get you to the pack doctor."
I feel two strong arms pulling me up. Then everything turns black.

It wasn't really a fairytale ending right? What's going to happen? Will she die or have permanent problems with her throat or will everything just be okay? You can read it in chapter 6! Let me know what you liked about that chapter and what absolutely is wrong. Oh and if there is something you like and you would see it back in this book you can tell me. I'll appreciate it.
