[24] the rescuing

The loud banging against the fridge was useless, even the screaming and crying for help was a waste of space. No one seems to hear me and no one seems to try and help. I'm hopeless. The claw marks were visible from everywhere I look, but I guess they weren't enough to get me out of here. I'm not giving up on this yet because I don't have to die, I have to make things right first before it's all going to be too late for everyone else. For Michael who haven't done anything bad, for Renee to know that I didn't mean everything I did and that she has to know that I love her still, for Acer and Jourdan because I have to apologize and to Calum, especially Calum, who I took advantage with. Probably I'd give him the right to kill me after because, because of me, his sister died. I just have to fix everything before I go, because the guilt will haunt me forever.

I was almost breathless, panting from the short supply of oxygen. I am sure I'm going to pass out at any moment after, I've been sweating all over my body- practically showering from my own sweat.

I pant for a second, just listening to the surroundings. I heard Grayson and eveyone leaving a while ago and it's just me who was left but I heard something. A loud thud. Steps were audible, and they were boots that were coming closer and closer until it stopped. Then it was my cue to start freaking out, I started to bang again and shouted for help. Even if I know it could be anyone from my suppose pack who already disgraces me from betraying them, I can still hold on from the smallest of hopes. 

The sound of the chains scattering all over the floor was the signal that I was about to be out of the goddamn fridge. I pushed it open, only to hear a loud thud and a string of curses. I successfully stood up from the fridge and looked over the person who was standing before me, her hand was on her head.

"Fuck, did that hurt." She mutters. I tried to remember the girl that stood before me because she's sure hella familiar to my eyes. I've seen her before.

"Uh, I'm s-sorry ... and uh, thank you." I was still chasing my breath when I said that and she nods. She looks up at me and I saw her familiar green eyes, and strawberry colored hair. She's Safeira, Acer's girlfriend. The huntress, to be exact. Why is she here?

I tried to step outside the fridge but suddenly pushed back by the energy that came from something I know more than everything. Mountain Ash. I grunted and stood up to see the black powder surrounding the fridge around. Yes, they really tried to kill me inside.

"I was going to warn you about that but you didn't listen." Safeira sighed and kneel down, breaking the powerful barrier between us. I immediately jump out of it and was about to repay her by a warm embrace when suddenly, I stopped on where I stood. My arms were almost around her but something sharp stop me from what I attempted to do. A knife. Nearly stuck into my stomach. Without any hesitation from her eyes. I grew weak and I breathed out a shaky breath before pulling away.

"Don't even try anything, okay?" She says, moving her knife upward and to my throat where my pulse is about to be cut in half. I nod, nervously as I swallowed very hard. I put my hands up in a surrendering way. Looking down at her since she's like five inches smaller.

"I-I was just going to envelop you into a hug ... a sign of gratefulness." I stammered and she chuckles deeply, shaking her head afterwards.

"I don't need your hug or anything else you want to do with me, just keep yourself away from me as far as possible- but still around my sight, okay?" She said to me and I was only able to nod. She spin around and started walking towards the door.
