FIRE DEMON

chapter 31

I don't know how long I've been here, every time they come back, it's the same, they question me, about random things, I don't give them anything then they beat me. Over and over.

I try to use my fire but my fire is severely weakened. I'm not even healing as fast as I should be.

Once they leave I try to contact Raphe, but it's no use.

Taking a deep breathe, I have to try again.

"Raphe if you can hear me, I'm being held in a warehouse, I'm sorry I don't know where. Please, I don't know how much longer I can hold on. You have to get me out of here, please."

Sending the message, suddenly there's all this gunfire outside the door, screaming and more gunfire. Trying to get away, I can't even begin to move. "She's in here." I know that voice, the door burst open, and Alex came running in with Nick Raphe and Rolf right behind him. Running up to me, dropping in front of my chair.

"Thank god baby! We found you." my voice is so hoarse I can't really speak. He nodded. "It's okay. We're going to get you home."

They started to untie me, Alex picking me up bridal style, and carrying me out of that room, and away from this place. I can barely move anything, I thought I was going to die in that room. Listening to what is going on around me, did they have other prisoners? Will they find anyone else in here?

"I want this place searched, anything useful get it out, then burn this place to the ground." Raphe said, anger in his voice. "Yes sir."

Walking through the halls, there's blood and bodies everywhere.

Turning away, burying my face deeper in Alex's neck, breathing in his scent, I thought I would never smell it again. But he got me out, I'm safe in his arms.

Everyone got me out, I'm alive. Alex climbed into the car with me still in his lap, holding onto me tight. He's not going to let me go anytime soon.

"How long was I gone for?" I rasped out. "A day and a half." Really? Only that long? It felt like a lot longer to me." driving away, I have no idea where I am, but right now I don't really care, all I care about is that I'm safe in Alex's arms and that we're going home.

"Sleep my sweet. You need to rest." Nodding into his neck, I drifted off listening to Raphe and Rolf talking in the front of the car, and Nick behind us.

"Why hasn't she woken up yet?" I can hear voices, but I can't see anything. My whole body is hurts, as I try to move. "She will. You just have to give her more time. She went through hell and back. Her body just has to heal." Moaning, trying to get their attention.

"Z baby?" Opening my eyes, the light is hurting me. "Hey you're okay. You're just fine."

Alex is leaning over me, his face so full of worry, he looks like he hasn't slept, or even drank anything. "What happened to me?" "What do you remember?"

Trying to remember. "The car exploded. I was taken I was tortured and then you all rescued me." Looking around, everyone is there, but no Rolf.

Moving a little, I felt something large next to me. Looking next to me; there's a large black wolf lying on the bed. "He didn't want to leave you, so he changed and has barely left your side since we got you home." "How long have I been out of it?" "About a day. Your body was badly damaged. Honestly we're a little surprised that you've woken up this soon." Lifting something to my lips. "You need to drink this." Taking a sip, the cool liquid feels good going down my throat. "What happened to those vamps that took me?" "One's that survived, we captured and interrogated. Most weren't that lucky."
