Witch's wolves

Chapter 9

Chapter 9
'They found you.'

Those three little words kept on playing on a loop in my mind. If they found me then he found me. The fear that tore through my body made me want to throw up. The longer I repeated the world the more everything shattered. The ground trembled beneath my feet as if it also feared the people from my past. How did they find me? I shook my head my head in disbelief.

I knew they would find me but I thought I would have more time. This can't happen now. I am not ready. I opened my eyes and realized I was crying from the blurry vision that greeted me. My breathing was so labored I almost thought I would faint. My eyes were looking but they did not see anything. My body started to tremble just to find a little relief from the fear coursing through my veins.

I looked up at her and saw Sasha's lips moving but no sound came out. I only saw the worry that was etched on to her face. The room seemed to be getting smaller. The walls were caving in making it even harder to breath. So I did what any other frightened animal would do I ran. I pushed people out of the way not caring who it was and ran straight into the forest.

I probably should not have as my enemy could be in these very woods but at this moment I didn't care. It seemed like the safest place to be and I just wanted to run. It seemed like the best option at the time.

The further I went the more I cried making it even harder to see. The branches of the trees seemed to want to grab me. The sight of the animals made me scared even more. I didn't understand they were running away from me. My mind couldn't comprehend anything else.

My instincts kicked in to protect me and I shifted leaving shredded clothes behind. My feet were pounding so hard that I left holes in the ground as I kicked up the dirt. My heartbeat was so loud it almost drowned out all the noise.

In the back of my scared mind, I could hear people calling my name but ignored it. They just needed to give me some space but I knew they wouldn't. They just wanted to protect me.

Where it would usually take a few days to reach the border it only took me more than a few hours. I didn't even realize I crossed it in my fear induced state. I kept on running even after the sun had set. Nothing could stop me from running at the moment

Even the mountain that stood in front of me could not stop me from running. I climbed it to the top slipping a few times and cutting my paws on some sharp rocks. I ignored the sting and ran across the flat surface.
I came to a screeching halt when the surface disappeared. I looked down over the ledge and saw sharp rocks that the ocean revealed when it pulled back. I just wanted to escape my emotions, not commit suicide. I took a few steps back and shifted back to human. I was hyperventilating from all the adrenaline and fear coursing through my body.

My frustration and fear were growing until it wanted to burst from me. So I let it. I looked out across the ocean and screamed. I screamed until every emotion came spilling out. Until I had nothing left to release. The world really had to pick me? I wasn't going to be a sane person at the end of this. God gave us what we could handle but I fear he made a mistake with me.

I fell to my knees with my arm hanging limply at my sides. I felt helpless at the moment. If they had found me nothing and no one would be able to protect me. In fact, if Tyler and Red knew who I was they would gladly hand me over.

I tried to stop the tears but it seemed they had a mind of their own. I stayed like this for what seemed like hours. I didn't want to move. I was afraid if I did all my fears would come back and break me. But it didn't matter. Staying still would not make my problems disappear, fighting back would. The memories of that place were still fresh in my mind. They still plagued my dreams every night.
