Breaking the Madness

Six

Chaos had erupted around me, people screamed running for their lives, others shifted and prepared for a fight. They were right when they say the first instincts in a situation is either to flight or run away. I heard warning howls travel through the air as well as a loud bang. Was that a gun? I stood on the balcony staring at the door, too scared to move, feeling a sting arise from my wrist I looked down to see that I had been scratching and the scratching had torn the skin.
"Well well well, look at what we have here, I little she wolf," A voice jeered from the doorway.

A man was there. A big man with blood sprayed all over him, dripping from his mouth. He was half way through transformation, canines probing from his gums his claws fully out. Ready dismember.
I gulped.

Fight it flight that was the question.

The man moved towards me, taking each step with precise movement, his sips curved into an unmistakable sleepy smile as his eyes gleamed with the ideas of what he could do to me.

Fight or flight. Fight or flight. The saying was like a chant reappearing over and over in my head.

Fight or flight.

'Anna.... I need you to let me take control... I need you to have you. I want you to live through this, I need you to live through this. You can trust me Anna, just let me have the reigns for a little while'
The voice stated absence of urgency behind his words.

Give him control?

The man was now so close to me that I could smell his stench, a mixture of sweat and death.
"Would you like to play with me little girl?"

I shook my head terror rooting me to the spot.

"Eh? No?.... well I want to play so too bad," he grabbed me by the ass.

Fight or flight.
Fight or flight
Fight or flight
Fight or flight

'Anna!' The voice yelled and my hand reached out of its own accord. My claws extracting eviscerating the man before me.

I couldn't breathe as I looked down at the man who's abdomen was now cut open, blood gushing from the wound. He was dead.

'Come on' the voice commanded and my legs moved once again, not under my control.

"I-I don't don't understand, what happening?"

'You gave over your control to me Anna,' The voice said, I literally feel the smile behind his words.

I said nothing.

He moved me through the doors of the balcony and into the ball room, I walked through the huddles of people in the room and over the dead that lay on the floor.

"Where is she!" I heard a desperate cry come from the middle of the room.

It was Jaiden he was looking for m...

"Camilla! Where is she!"

Oh he was looking for Camilla of course.

The voice growled, it was full of anger. Why was the voice angry?

"Here! she's here!" Jaiden's beta cried pulling Camilla across the room. She looked angry too bit when she saw me her scowl deepened.
Jaiden rushed to her making sure she was ok. She was, but she was making a fuss about the blood on her dress. He tried to be sympathetic, but I knew he didn't care.

A laugh bubbled up in my throat at his pained expression. He didn't care.

Jaiden as well as his better turned to look at me frowns on their faces, the Beta walked over to me.

"Are you ok?"

I nodded.

"Your covered in blood, why?" He asked me, his eyes kind.

I like him instantly.

"There was a man...." it was the only words that I could force out if my mouth.

"Did he hurt you?" alarm automatically tinged his tone.

I shook my head again.

"Then what happened?" he was confused.

"He tried but, I stabbed him."

The beta and the Jared, Jens mate, stared at me in shock. Then the beta began to laugh.

"Of course you did." His laugher grew until I had no choice but to smile.
It was contagious.

"That's enough," Jaiden commanded. "The next attack will be coming soon, the rouges always attack twice in one go, We need to get the civilians out of the way and prepare for the fight!"

They nodded.

Jen came out of no where flinging her arms around me pulling me close.

"Thank god you're safe."

However, I couldn't say anything back to my sister as Jaiden started to talk again.

"Jared, take your mate, and the others who do not wish to fight to the the upstairs sitting room, it should be big enough, lock the doors. if the rogues get past then this is over. The rest of you who are left, rally yourselves to fight." with that he turned and walked away, his beta following him.

People started to move out of the ball room following Jared, who had peeled my sister off me and was no dragging her to safety.

'Go to safety Anna, don't be stupid'
The voice growled.

I just had to say goodbye to Jaiden. I didn't care that he hated me, if this was the ..... end..... then I wanted to see him one last time.

'Anna don't!'

I ignored the voice and walked away from safety and towards the man I loved. However, before I could reach him another howl descended upon the wind. A battle cry. A rogue.

'Dammit Anna! Why didn't you listen!'

The voice was right, I should have gone. It was too late now. All too late.

I felt a warmth flood my body as the voice once again took control, forcing me to shift for what felt like the first time in forever.

My bones snapped and crunched as I transformed in unimaginable pain.

The choice had been made for me.

Fleeing wasn't an option.

I had to fight.
