Breaking the Madness

Seven

Anna POV

'Anna let me take control, it's the only way either of us will get out alive!' the voice yelled in my head.

The voice was right, from the moment the rebels had burst into the estate and I had transformed into my wolf, the voice was pounding in my head telling me instructions, telling me what to do. Normally I would tell the voice to go screw themselves, but at the moment I knew he was just keeping me alive. I wanted to stay alive. I was consumed by the battle that was occurring around me, my white and sand coloured wolf was now coated in red from the death present in the room.

I didn't want to die.

A grey wolf, one of the rebels, eyes latched into me and started to move towards me. My wolf growled but I whimpered, I didn't know how to fight. This was one if the first times I had transformed, I had no control. My wolf seemed to notice and we started to back away from the aggressive being moving towards us. Suddenly, a patchy wolf jumped onto the grey wolf and ripped out its throat.

"Are you ok there kiddo? why didn't you go to safety?" The wolf mind-linked me. Only one person ever called me kiddo.

"Uncle Gray!" I mind linked back. My uncle Gray was the beta of my father's pack.

"Try to stay out of the way, Kiddo. You weren't supposed to be here....." My uncle mumbled through the link before rejoining the battle.

I nodded to my self as I moved away from the violence and backed myself into a corner, at least no one could sneak up behind me.

'Bad move Petal, just let me become you for now, I need to get you out of here!' The voice insisted, his tone Urgent.

'Petal?' I thought back to the voice, funny how that was the only thing I picked up on from that sentence.

I could feel the voice role their eyes, they didn't answer me.

From the corner of the room I saw something. Colours started to make patterns along the wall leading out of the ball room. They were really pretty, and colourful, I really wanted to follow them. So that is what I did.

I moved towards the exit in a dream like trance, the patterns twisted and turned. I followed them. I didn't care that I was moving through many people being slaughtered as teeth ripped out their throats. I didn't care.

There was something about the shadows, as if they were trying to tell me some kind of information. when the shadows disappeared I was standing in a room I had never seen before, looking at a wall. I tilted my head to the side, why did they bring me here? I didn't know.... I bet kid would know... why weren't they butting into my head like always?

"Grrrrrr" a growl came from behind me.

I sucked in a breath as I turned around my eyes wide. A big wolf was stalking towards me, saliva and blood dripping from it's lips.

'O-okay..... You can have control now....' I whimpered to the voice.

'Thank you Anna,'

And that was the last thing I remembered.

*************************************************

I opened my eyes. I was laying in the ground in a puddle if blood, there were several dead men laying in the ground near me. Wait.... dead?

I jumped to my feet a scream stuck in my throat however, I think I stood up too quickly because my head spun and I fell back to the ground.

'Shhh it's okay, you're ok....' The voice from before hushed me and I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I felt the voices hand?

Looking up I saw a young man, maybe 21 standing before me. He Had longish blond hair that curled across his forehead, his eyes were hazel. He had muscles, however, he wasn't to bulky.

'Anna? are you okay?' The voice asked, the mans lips moved in sink with the words. The voice was the man standing before me. I began to shake... I thought he was apart of my psychosis... he can't be real.

'Who-who are you? I thought you weren't real?"

'Shhhh.... Anna.... My name is Luc. And I'm only as real as you want me to be.'

He bent down infront if me, looking me in the eyes. He smiled at me, it lit up his eyes. He had dimples.

'I am in your head Anna, but that doesn't mean I'm not real.'

'Then how can I feel you?"

"Like I said, just because I'm in your head doesn't mean I'm not real.'

I nodded... Okay.... I totally crazy......

'Anna! you are not crazy! you have never believed them when they've called you crazy, and don't start now. I am real, I can touch you because you let me.... when u gave me control'

Control?

'Yes, you gave me control so that I could save us, remember.'

I nodded and looked at the carnage around me.

'Did you do this?'

'Yes' he said. But I couldn't help but notice that he looked way too happy about killing those people.

My lips quivered.

'I saved us, Anna, don't be mad at me for that.'

I wasn't mad, I was scared. I started to scoot back away from him. He killed them, using me.

'No no no, Anna it's ok....'

He tried to move closer to me.

"Stop... dont.... don't come closer to me ... Stay away from me!" I sobbed as he grabbed my wrist.

"Anna?" Jaiden walked through the door way.

I sobbed harder as Luc's grip on my wrist tightened.

"Anna, you're okay no ones in here. We won. The rebels are gone. Everything is okay..." He said as he rushed over to me and lifted me to my feet. My legs were weak, I couldn't support myself so he held me up. Luc never let go of my arm.

'You're okay Anna. I know it was scary but it's okay now.'

I snuggled into his chest feeling so safe in his arms, but Luc's hand on me was a reminder. I Wasn't safe.

'You're safer with me than you are with him, Petal' Luc growled, and I felt something shift within me.

I disappeared.
