The Elites

Chapter 27

Stella's Point-of-View

I stared at the bag of my blood, slowly but surely draining out of me.

"And then I'll become an animal when I'm injected with that stuff," I thought. A large beaker of a weird colored fluid sat on the table in front of me, securing my fate.

I slowly guided my eyes over to the boys. They were all fumbling to get themselves untied.

And then, there was Becca. She was walking towards Hunter, her fangs gleaming.

Hunter swore as she stood over him. A drop of her saliva landed on his head.

He whimpered something under his duct taped mouth.

Becca didn't seem to notice. She slashed her nails across his face, leaving blood dripping down his cheek.

"Talk about abusive relationship," I said. I turned my head to look at the blood bag once again.

It was half full.

I could hear Alex across the room, making loud sounds.

As if anyone in this building was going to save us.

That's when Elise, Raiyn, and Amber started making sounds too.

That's when I understood.

We had to draw Rebecca away from the boys.

I started making sounds with my mouth, and so did Lyra-Rose. Becca slowly walked over towards us.

As she neared me, she reached out to slash my cheek. She was about halfway there, when she jerked her hand back.

"That's right, Becca, no touchie. I need these girls blood, but feel free to hurt the boys," Lily said.

Everyone in the room glared at her.

"Oh, and did you ever wonder how we knew about your dates?" Lily snickered.

Everyone in the room made noise, but it was fairly indecipherable.

"Rebecca told me. It seems she wanted you all like this. Anyway, goodbye!" Lily laughed as she walked out the door.

Everyone digested this new information. There was silence in the room. Everyone was counting the seconds until their death.

All of a sudden, there was noise in the room.

We all watched as Becca grew fur.

"Good god, she's a wolf," I thought.

Lyra-Rose, who had probably given up on saving herself, made loud noises. Becca walked close to her.

Wait a minute.

Lyra-Rose had the power to talk to animals. And if Becca was an animal...

I almost cheered out loud for Lyra-Rose.

Once Lyra-Rose had finished communicating, Becca walked over to Hayden. She slashed his tape holding his hands and legs together.

Hayden jumped up and tore the tape from his mouth.

"I'm free!" He shouted. He went and untied Rowan while Becca slashed Parker's tape. They both jumped up and untied the remaining.

I turned my head to look at the bag. It was close to full.

"Cameron, go flip the switch. Maybe that will send the blood back inside them, instead of taking it out," Liam said. The girls watched anxiously as Cameron flipped the switch.

The blood slowly drained from the back.

I could feel myself regaining consciousness.

The boys ran to us and unstrapped us from the tables and took the tape from our mouths.

"My god, feels great to be free again!" Elise said.

"Let's go!" Cameron said. He started sprinting towards the door with his super speed.

"Wait! What about Rebecca!" Hunter yelled after Cameron. Cameron stopped dead in his tracks and spun around.

We all watched Rebecca destroy the tables we were strapped to.

"We have to leave her," Rowan said quietly.

"What!? But that's not fair!" I yelled. "We all got free, so why can't she?"

"Because she's an animal! Do you know how much fleas would destroy our home?" Lyra-Rose asked.

"There's gotta be a way," I said as I looked behind me. There were cameras and the alarm was going off,"And fast."
