Chapter 35

Ashlynn POV

The depth of ones pain can only be so far, well that's what I use to think. I’m not talking about physical pain, where you can just dope yourself up on medication a woosh it’s all gone. I'm talking about that mantel pain, the pain that is caused by ones emotions and biggest fears. The pain that still lingers in the back of ones mid, even when they're having the best day of their lives. It's a pain I now realize can’t be ignored or forgotten. I was foolish to think that it could only go so far or only hurt so much, because in reality that pain controls my life it controls everyone's lives really. It controls what we do or how we act. We say its our past shaping us into different and new people, but that’s just lies we feed ourselves. The truth is it's the pain of the past, the pain those memory holds that still linger. It’s because of those burst of pain that we base the rest of our life on.

I didn't know where I was or how long it had been, but I knew I was still feeling pain. I was stuck in a black space of the back of my head and yet the pain was still there. It was new pain though it was the pain of loosing. I knew I lost. I had let Souki win. She beat me out and has taken control of my life, while I was stuck in the back of my own mind rambling about pain. Don't get me wrong I put up a fight. I did everything I could to stop her, but the moment I saw Danny's grandfather it became nearly impossible. It was almost like his presences brought her ghost and soul to a stronger level that I couldn't handle. The night before the graduation I lost the battle with her though and she took over. I didn't know how long its been or what she has been doing. I was just thoughts locked in the back of the mind, unable to reach anyone including my wolf. It was lonely of course, but I guess it helped me figure something out and think. It forced me to make choices that I wouldn't have made other wise. I knew for sure exactly what I was going to do if I ever gain control back, but that was the true problem. Was it even possible for me to gain control back of my own body.

Everything happened at once, suddenly the black space it seemed like I was sitting in opened up. I could hear and see more. It was like I was standing in the middle of my brain attaching the thoughts and plain and ideas fly by. Well I guess it was Sioux brain, because none of them were my idea's. “What is going on?” I whispered to myself right when there was blaring siren going off. It was coming through her ear, a siren blaring louder and louder. Little by little I could hear more and more of the outside world, I could start to here what was going on. There were sirens and Dave panicking like crazy. I knew just by the sound of his voice he was ready to pass out. “Someone find Danny!” He screeched before turning his attention back to my body. “Ashlynn, sweetie it will all be okay. Danny will be here, before you deliver this baby.” I couldn’t believe it. My body was in labor! Needed to take over, and soon! She couldn’t be giving breath to my child! I wasn’t going to take that she took away enough. Like the last two weeks of my life, giving breath to my child wasn’t happening though.

Danny POV

“Danny, where have you been?” Dave yelled as I rushed into the hospital, with Ashlynn’s body lying on a stretcher. She was whimpering and crying out in pain, but I showed her no attention. I just shrugged at Dave and stood beside her. When she reached from my hand I pulled it away from her. If it was Ashlynn I would have been fine, but it wasn’t it was Sioux. She didn’t deserve an ounce of my attention even if it was my baby she was giving birth to. My precious baby was being born by a dreadful woman that took over my sweet angels body. “Danny, Grow up! You’re still the father!” Dave barked at me. My calm manner and no attempt to comfort her infuriated him, beyond belief. If he knew, he would have cared. Though he didn’t know. He thought it was his only daughter laying their whimpering in pain, not  the witch that could ruin everything. I sighed heavily not wanting to get into this with him and grabbed her head. Pretending to be soothing I brought my lips close to her ears so only she could hear me. “Sioux, I hope this is the most painful brutal thing you’ve ever gone through because your not getting shit from me or meds. You don’t deserve anything, my beautiful girl you took from me deserved everything, but your nothing.” I muttered before kissing her temple like I actually cared.
