Our Twisted Fate

Chapter 33

Ellie's POV

I don't know how long I've been down here but one thing is for sure, gutom na gutom na ako. Pero alam ko namang walang balak si Abegail na pakainin ako. Tinamaan ata ng kidlat na pink ang babaeng 'yon kung pakakainin niya ako. But I don't that. Hays. Kumusta na kaya ang mga anak ko? Okay lang ba sila? Nakatakas ba sila? Maraming tanong na hindi masasagot hangga't nandito ako sa lugar na 'to. Sana naman ilabas na niya ako dito para makita ko naman ng umaga ba ngayon o gabi. Idagdag pa tong nakatali sa 'kin na ang hapdi sa balat. Parang napapaso ang balat ko.

Mga patak ng tubig lang ang naririnig ko. Sa sobrang dilim ay halos hindi ko na ang sarili kong kamay. May mga naamoy akong hindi ko maipaliwanag na amoy. Hindi naman mabaho pero malayo ang amoy na ito sa mabango. Pumikit na lang ako at sinusubukan na kausapin sila Hiyas at Luna pero maging sila ay wala din. Dahil siguro ito sa wolf's bane na ginamit ni Abegail sa akin. Hindi tuloy ako makagalaw. Kapag gumagalaw kasi ako ay mas lalong sumasakit ang kamay at paa ko.

Naalarma naman ako dahil sa pagbukas ng pinto sa di kalayoan. Nakakasilaw na ilaw ang sumalubong sa aking mga mata dahilan para mapapikit ako. Nung nasanay na ang aking mata sa liwanag ay nakita ko si Abegail na nakangiti sa akin at dalawang lalaki na siguro'y kasama niya sa pagkidnap sa akin.

"You're still alive? Wow! I didn't actually thought thay you'd live long after not eating for two days." Komento ni Abegail.

I growled at her. The the thugs backed off a little bit. Siguro ay natakot sila at alam nila kung sino ako. Maging si Abegail ay nawala ang ngiti sa mukha ng ginawa ko iyon.

"Hmmmm. You still fear me, Abegail. Not because I can kill you but you know who I am." Sabi ko na lang sa kanya.

"Me? Scared of you? In your dreams, bitch. My plan on killing you won't backfire this time." Sagot naman niya sa kin. "Grab her and bring her to the woods. Tell to others to come, too. We are sacrificing the Luna in order for to roam freely at the villege." Dagdag niya pa at tinalikuran na ako.

Kita ko ang takot sa mga mata ng dalawang kumuha sa akin. Pero dahil na rin sa wala akong lakas para labanan sila ay walang kahirap-hirap na nabuhat nila ako. They were careful not to touch the wolf's bane on the wrist and ankles. As they too, will burn by touching it.

Malayo-layo rin ang pinagdalhan nila sa akin. Nalaman ko na marami palang katulad ni Abegail na hindi na pinabalik sa villege dahil sa mga kasalanang ginawa nila. May ibang sa ibang tribu galing at may iilan na walang tribu. Siguro ay pinangakuan ni Abegail ng maganda ang mga lobong ito kaya naingganiyo na sundin siya. Hindi ko man alam ang totoong balak ni Abegail sa akin, pero sigurado akong hindi siya magtatagumpay. Sana naman may tumulong sa akin sa isa sa mga taong-lobo dito. Sana mahabag sila sa kalagayan ko.

Luke's POV

It's been two days since Ellie was kidnapped. For within that two days, I found out she was never a member of this pack. She never drunk the wine or wolf's blood as we call it. It's how we can determine that a wolf is a member of the pack. You can't just join in and be one of us. It's a tradition for us to drink a special wine that a Keeper gives to the new wolf or if you are of age. In our case, we must drink it at our sixteenth birthday. It's how we know we are one of the pack.

As for Abegail's case, the Keeper said that she refused to drink it. Thrown the wine on a plant and walkout out. He said she was so sure that she'll be my mate and will not drink it. And it's in the rules that a Keeper can never force a wolf to drink it. Though, Abegail's mother told him to just keep it a secret to everyone or else. He didn't mention anything about what that or else.

I had to tell the elders about it. And they were mad as hell to the Keeper. They wabted to punish the Keeper but I had to interven about the that thought. It is no use even when we punish the Keeper. Past is past. The only thing we can do now is rescue Ellie and bring Abegail here so she can have the punishment she derserves. I just hope we'll rescue her in time.
