Life is a Rollercoaster

Chapter 24

"Primus."

The world seemed to grow still as I stared at the man I had once trusted, though we had never been that close.

Why would he do this? Why does he want the notes so much?

"Lea.." Primus looked at me intensely for a few minutes longer, before dropping his finger from under my chin and backing away. "There is much I'd like you to know."

"Me to know? I already know as much as I'd like to." I growled, though deep inside, I really did want to know what was going on.

"Just trust me, Lea." He said, and I snorted.

"Trust you? I will never trust you... not now, not ever." I stomped my foot in agitation, why are things turning out for the worst?

"I need your notes, now give them to me." Primus stepped a foot closer to me, and I stepped two feet back.

"No. I don't know why you need them, but I won't give them to you." What was so important on the notes that everyone wants them?

"Now Lea, you don't want to anger me." He stepped closer to me.

"Or what? You'll kill me?" The words bring me back to when I asked my father that question. My own father would kill me.

"Perhaps.." Primus' corner of his lips turned up slightly.

"You wouldn't."

There was silence for awhile, the only noise was the five men standing behind Primus, their feet shuffling.

"Would you tell me why you want the notes?" I asked.

"No. I like to keep personal things secret." Primus seemed much more dangerous, more blood thirsty. He seemed more like an older brother who loved his siblings than a guy who'd kill his own Luna when she refused to give him something that he claimed to be 'important.' Well, I didn't know if the notes held anything important, I never got to check. "Now, give me the notes."

"I don't have them on me." I said quickly. 

"Then get them." He growled, losing patience.

"No, I refuse to give you anything." As soon as the words left my mouth, Primus had his hand gripped tightly around my neck. I scratched at his hands, he held so tight it hurt like Hell. "Primus." I choked out, looking at him with wide eyes. 

I couldn't breathe. I could die, when I had no more oxygen. I wanted to die way better than this, who wants to be choked to death? Totally peaceful way to die.

"Let." I paused, struggling to swallow. "Go.." If he killed me he wouldn't get to the notes, unless he went to the pack house and searched the place. I didn't really hide the bag like I was supposed to. 

Black dots started to cloud my vision, and with the strength I had left, I pulled at his fingers, trying and failing to pry them off of my neck.

"S- st- stop." Since the black dots were covering my vision, and I was starting to panic, I kicked. I thrashed and kicked. I dug my nails into his skin as hard as I could, and the grip on my neck loosened as he cried out.

"F*ck..." Primus grunted, gripping his hand tightly as it bled. My bite must have been pretty deep if it was bleeding as bad as it was right then.

Since his hands were off of me, I dashed down the hill. The ground had big rocks around, so I had to make daring leaps from one rock to the other. Thanks to my werewolf gene, I didn't fall and crack my head open.

I could hear the men behind me, and once I reached sand, I sprinted as fast as I could. I didn't know if any humans were around and I wasn't about to stop and look around to see, so I didn't shift. With their long legs, they were hastily gaining up on me.

I darted to the right, into the vegetation I was in a half hour before. That's when I shifted. I was faster as my wolf, and any wolf in my vicinity would hear my calls for help if I made any.

The men shifted too, and I wasn't sure if Primus was with them or not. 

I was on my territory, so I was a little bit more confident if the rogues had caught up I would be saved by a nearby patrol or something.

If I just followed my scent trail from when I was making my way to Rock's Peak, it would lead me straight to the pack house and I would be safe. 

These guys had one hell of a stamina, because my legs were starting burn, and my chest was hurting. The one that was closest to me was now about four feet away. I started to do a zig-zag motion, weaving through trees, and taking the roughest route I could possibly find, but they still managed to keep up.

I made a mistake of turning sharply left, because I was pushed to the ground, and held by the throat. What is with everyone and going for my throat so much? I wriggle underneath their grasp, but it only makes it tighter  so I lay limp.

Okay, I had never made a mind link before, but I remember Bretton talking about it once.

Help me. I said in my head.

No reply.

Help. Me. I concentrated more on the message, and yelped when there was a sharp pain in my right hind leg.

Help me. I growled, and almost sighed with relief when I heard Bretton's voice in my head.

Sh*t Lea, what's going on? He said before my mind grew silent. 

Primus growled above me, and the wolf who gripped my neck let go, allowing me to get up on all fours. He started to stalk forward,  and I stumbled back. Please hurry, anyone just please hurry. A wolf to my right launched there self at me, and I slid beneath them, nipping there soft belly.

Someone came up from my left, and I bit at them, they had formed a circle around me, keeping me where I was. I started to circle around and bite anyone who came close. 

There were ruffling a distance away, and watched as Bretton's familiar brown wolf flew through the trees. The men immediately moved away from me, going to attack my three pack members who were arriving.

I watched as Bretton and Primus went at each other, and my heart sunk. I wondered if it was bugging any of them that they were attacking each other- brothers. If I had a sibling, I know I wouldn't ever attack them...

What had gotten into Primus' head to make him this way? I liked the Primus I met when I first arrived, not the one who choked me, and hurt me. 

                                                                                         ...

I rested my head on the pillow, and sighed heavily, the familiar, wonderful smell of Bretton filling my nose.

Primus had ended up retreating, who knows why, maybe it had finally gotten into his had that what he had done was wrong, or that it was now killing him that he would no longer have his pack.. his brothers and sisters.

I felt really guilty about leaving to go to Rock's Peak like that, with only a simple note. But curiousity killed the cat, right? Except, I'm still alive.

The bathroom door opened, and Bretton walked out. He stood there for what seemed like hours, until he ran to me, pulling me up into a tight hug. I had found to love his embraces, it made me feel so wanted... loved.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, and placed my head against his chest where his rapidly beating heart was.

Bretton breathed in my scent before slightly pulling back, looking me straight in the eyes. "I love you."
