Primal Inheritance: Freedom [COMPLETED]

Chapter 4: Rest

"So these are the humans that set you free? I doubt  Avery would like this." His voice sounded humorous like he was just playing with them. I was certain he wasn't because things were starting to get darker and darker, and I saw spots.

"So what if they are?" Donovan asked, bending over and examining the girl he defeated. "It's not like they are special. All they did was cut the chains." Axel's grip on Allen loosened. "So you won't mind if I just run off with this then?"

"Nope. Never liked him in the first place."
That bastard! How could he just betray me like this, when we freed them?
"Donnie, he saved us," Marissa interjected. "You can't turn a blind eye to that." Jamie also took a step forward. "I agree. If not for them we'd still be sleeping, being tortured in our own minds, with no way to escape."

See? At least they were sticking up for me. Donnie the Douche was ready to leave me for dead. But what did Jamie mean by being tortured in our own minds? That doesn't make sense. We saw their wounds and their blood. Plus, there were actual weapons in the bunker.

"You clearly can't beat our asses but you don't want to go home looking like a failure. I'll tell you what, give us that thing back and Marissa won't eat your little sisters over here." That pissed off Axel, I could tell. He was breathing faster and I was so close I could feel his heart pounding. Although, I thought Vampire hearts didn't beat?

"You are so arrogant," said Axel through gritted teeth. I will rip this human's arms off and still keep him alive to see Avery. That's when the real torture...." I didn't hear the rest of what he said, because, at that moment, I completely passed out.

"-when the real torture begins." Why am I so useless? Allen was in Axel's grasp, and I was hiding behind Jamie. I know there was nothing I could do to stop him, but I wish I could have done something. "You have to do something!" I shrieked at Donovan, knowing he would listen to me. "Fine, I'll take him out easy." He started stretching his arms, and smiled, revealing wolfish teeth instead of the human ones I saw when I removed the metal rod.

White smoke started to seep from his right hand again and he burst into a run, moving so quickly the dirt flew into the air from his original position. Next, the weirdest thing happened. I heard a voice in my head that sounded exactly like Donovan. It said, "Two birds, one stone" and I immediately knew what was going to happen. Axel was using Allen as a guard because he clearly didn't know how little Donovan cares about Allen.

Marissa made her move before my little voice could even begin to shout. She ran fast and jumped over Donovan, transforming into her wolf form. Her hind legs kicked Donovan in the head, making him fall back and propelling her forward.

Allen was only 5 foot 6, so aiming for the seven-foot tall vampire's head was easy. She tackled him to the ground and he continued to scream while she mauled his face. I took this as my chance to do something. I ran past the big brown wolf Donovan and dragged Allen away from Axel. The Wolf Donovan let out an angry howl and bared his fangs visually viciously.

Before Marissa could decapitate him, Axel dissipated into a cloud of smoke and reformed into a colony of bats. They flew towards the girl that Donovan defeated. Axel's human form took shape again. He cradled her in his arms, bit her ear, and said "Jessica." In a puff of smoke, she became a single, little bat in the palm of Axel's hand.

His body distorted, and suddenly he was near the girl Marissa defeated. I could still hear Donovan shouting behind me, but I wasn't sure why, because Axel wasn't targeting us anymore. The blonde girl was still buried in the dirt upside-down, but that didn't stop Axel. He put the bat in his left hand and pressed his right palm on the ground.
