Chapter Seventeen

“No!” I screamed, loudly. It was Don; the wolf we thought wasn’t here. The wolf I saw in the woods this morning. He grabbed me before anyone would come out. I heard Sam “Olivia!” I was trying to yell for him, as he ran after us. I tried to stop Don; I hit him, spit, bite, and punching. He was stronger than me, I had forgotten in the moment of panic. ‘Its okay’ I said to myself over and over again. I could still hear Sam’s feet as Don picked up his pace. His body was tense, almost nervous. Where was he going to take me, oh that’s right; anywhere that I would be beaten to death almost? Then once Sam found me I would die.

I finally gave up my fight knowing I wasn’t going to get anywhere with it. We were only about twenty miles away, why so close? Don looked at me as I tried to catch my breath. “Need anything?” I didn’t want him to talk to me; he reeked of an old man in a nursing home. Looked as if he never brushed his teeth his whole entire life “My husband” he laughs at me knowing that will only happen when Sam comes to get me but nothing will end as planned.

“Take your dress off, now.” I was scared, he was serious too. I remember Sam telling me to do as he says; I took my dress off and was now almost naked besides my underwear and bra. Thoughts going through my mind, wondering if there is an escape; exactly where were we? He chained me to a tree as he left; I started to scream as I felt a mind blowing pain across my cheek. “Shut up!” I spit and saw blood “You aren’t going to get away with this you piece of shit!” his eyes glimmer wit enjoyment. He was so sick; I wanted to beat the crap out of him.

He ignored me as he walked away to spread my scent I’m sure of. God, why me; and on my wedding day? Ugh, I could kill someone right now! I was singing a song that reminded me of Sam. How long would I be here? This is probably the stupidest place to keep me; it’s too close to where he snatched me from. I kept praying to God over and over. ‘Please God, help me. Help Sam and the others find me. I just want to be back with my babies and be safe in our new home. I will do anything…” I began to cry, “To just have my family back. Please God, please…” I couldn’t wipe my tears away.

I heard something walking towards me when I turned my head to see Don. “Well, they should be here in about six hours.” I tried to kick him as he walked past me, hoping he would lose his balance. Don got in my face, and stared. “No wonder you’re his soul mate, you’re dead sexy.” I moved my face as he tried to kiss me. “Back off!” I started to scream at him, kicking as he got closer. He put his hands on my face and jerked it to look at his “You bitch…” punched me on the other side of my face.

Screaming in pain, my nose was bleeding now. I couldn’t wipe it off so I built it up in my mouth as I tried to spit it on him. “I swear to God, once Sam finds me. You will wish you never came near me.” He laughs “You really think so? I been doing this for a long time babe” I cringed as he called me that. I felt so alone, this was my wedding day. I was supposed to be enjoying the married life, and being the queen on the night. Instead I am sitting in the middle of the woods, in muddy grass, chained to a tree, and waiting for my moment.

‘Olivia, where are you?’ I heard Sam, but I looked around very alert and couldn’t see anything it was dark out now. I thought to myself ‘This is just my imagination messing with me.’ And then I hear Sam again ‘No, Olivia. It’s me; you have some abilities like us now. I never told you when you went into labor the only way to keep you alive was to give you wolf blood.’ I was losing my mind, officially!

 I kept talking to myself though in thought of course. ‘What? Why didn’t you tell me?’ I paused and I didn’t hear anything ‘Oh wow, I am going crazy.’ Then Sam talked again ‘No! You can talk through your mind now; do you smell better than before?’ I thought about it and I had, I thought it was my body changing from the pregnancy back to normal.

Don was walking around in circles waiting for Sam ‘I’m going to think through what I saw as he took me. He is walking around now; I’ll wait till he sleeps to tell you to come.’ Sam didn’t respond and I went through my thoughts. Through the parking lot, five miles down the large hill, and fifteen miles to the ride side of the woods. I looked up and saw something odd; it was a plane and I sent that through my mind.

Sam registered all the information, ‘I know where you are Olivia. I’m coming to get you.’ I didn’t think anything; I looked around as I saw my dress still beautifully hanging off a tree branch. I started to cry, it’s my wedding day. “Hey Don” he looked at me with no emotion “I know why you are doing this.” He then raises an eyebrow “I have no choice, I can’t be happy – nobody else will; especially those in high power.” I looked down at the ground “I know what it’s like to be alone” he turns his head away from me. “Oh really, that’s why you were getting married right?” I didn’t reply for a bit then finally I did with all emotions on the table.

“You know, I got knocked up about six years ago. I raised my little girl alone for four years until Sam came back into my life. There was always something there between us in college but he didn’t want me to live this life. He knew what would happen if we got together…” I pause before finishing; I got Don’s attention though. The memories go through a slide show in my mind ‘Olivia…’ Sam said through his thoughts. I knew it was making him upset.

I look at Don, and he didn’t stop looking at me “I just gave birth to my son, who needs me. I am all my mother has left, she needs me also. My sister died three years ago in a plane crash with her husband. I have nothing left but my mom, father, Sam, and children.” Don couldn’t resist the tears anymore ‘I am almost there’ I knew what was about to happen. Sam was going to kill Don, or so I thought.

Don walked up to me, still looked emotional and hit me in the face several times. He took the chains off and started kicking me in the stomach, kick after kick; my life went through my mind. ‘Olivia!’ I was going to die before Sam got here. Don was kicking harder and then he stopped. He picked me up and shoved me to the tree; the force he used knocked my head backwards into the hard wood.
