The Huntress

Chapter 15

(Sarah POV)

Jade was running. She had to run. They were coming. They were coming. Niamh was riding a giant black wolf. I was on Jonas' shoulders. Jade was running beside Ryder.

They were coming. I could see them behind us. Then someone screamed. It was Niamh. One of them had grabbed her around the waist, trying to pull her off the wolf. The wolf twisted around bit the head off of the one that had her with relative ease, and picked back her up so she could clamber back onto his back and started running again-all of this taking about a minute to happen. Suddenly there was howls echoing through the night, as the pack wolves attacked them, to help us get through...

I woke from the dream with a yelp, I was being carried in Jonas' arms, bridal style, and when I let out the sound, he stopped abruptly to check I was ok. I nodded at him, silently telling him that I was ok, and he carried on running. I looked around. Ryder was in front, holding Jade's hand, and Niamh was on Ryder's back. I was in Jonas' arms, and he was slightly behind the other three, running slower so he could check out the area. I sighed in content and snuggled into his arms, loving the dull tingles I felt wherever he touched me.

(Niamh POV)

When Jonas untied Sarah, she passed out in his arms. Jonas checked her pulse worriedly, however it seemed to be ok as he looked up with relief on his face. Jonas had adjusted his hold on her so it was bridal style and nodded at Ryder, who seemed to be in charge, saying that he was good to go. Jade was free of her chains, and she moved over to me to untie me. When she did, Ryder picked me up and placed me on his back. Jade smiled lovingly at him, took his hand, and then we started running.

About ten minutes later, and we were out of the castle with no problems, which personally I felt was a bit strange, but I let it go. As soon as we were out, we started running at full vampire speed. It was amazing. It was the best feeling ever, feeling the wind rush across your face and not being able to see anything but green and brown blurs as we ran through the picturesque forest.

As the minutes passed, I couldn't help but be worried about Sarah. She wasn't moving very much, she was breathing but it was unclear and rugged. I looked at Jade, to see if she knew the answers, but she was looking lovingly at Ryder, her eyes full of love for someone she hardly knew. A sharp pang of jealousy passed through me. Sarah and Jade had their mates, and I didn't have mine. Maybe I don't have a mate. Maybe I'm just a freak of nature, the only girl in the world without a mate. I mentally face palmed. I couldn't think like this. It was wrong, and last time I did I ended up in a bad place.

Suddenly I heard numerous howls.

"We've crossed into pack territory." Ryder said, I couldn't see his expression but by the tone of his voice I could tell I should be worried of what is to come.

"Shit." Jade replied, a look of panic crossing her usually calm features.
