Saving Gracie

Chapter 20

Gracie POV

I open my eyes and instantly close them because of he blinding light. "Oh my cheeses it's bright," I groan. Five words. Five words and everything turns chaotic. "SHES AWAKE!!!" someone yells. "Could you shut it?" I ask. Mar, Angie, Carter, Daniel, Jam, Ric, and Luis come barging in. "Ever heard of knocking? Seriously people I say like five words and everyone is freaking out. It's not like I've been asleep for a week," I say. "You have been asleep for a week," Mar says. My jaw dropped and I asked, "What the hell is wrong with me?" Their was an awkward silence and they all looked at each other. "What exactly are you not telling me?" I ask. "Uhh. You were kinda in a coma because that's how your body deals with the pain it's receiving," Luis says carefully. "Where is the pain coming from?" I ask. As soon as those words left my mouth, Ric, Jam, and Luis growled as Mar and Angie gave me sympathetic looks. "Ryder's been having fun." Luis spits out. My eyes instantly fill with tears as Angie and Mar usher the boys out and comfort me. "I'm sorry. I can't take all this pity. I need to go," I say as I make a mad dash towards my room. I lock myself in and immediately start bawling.

G-Gracie

What the hell? I think I'm finally going insane. Ryder's voice in my head? HA-HA.

G-Gracie stop. I need y-your help.

Holy crap his voice sounds so weak.

What the hell do you want? You've caused me enough pain as it is.

I-I w-was.... I g-guess raped.

WHAT!?

Y-yeah. I need your help Gracie. I'm dying. They've filled the room with wolfsbane.

Why me?

I-I love you and trust you so much that I'm willing to put my life into your hands.

Ryder....

I-I'm g-getting weaker..... I-I love y-you. E-even t-though I may n-not make i-it I will understand.

Please don't leave me Ryder!! I love you to it's just your so annoying and overbearing sometimes but I love you so much please stay alive. I'm coming Ryder I promise.

Instead of crying about my pain, I cried about Ryder's. I quickly wiped my cheeks and changed to jeans and a shirt. I WILL find Ryder. I WILL rescue him. I WILL keep my promise.

I head downstairs and call Luis and the rest of the people to the main office. They all file in and I say, "Ryder is in trouble." They all have confused faces and I tell them about the conversation we had minus the I love you's and whatnot. Carter and Daniel immediately call their pack and I make a meeting for tonight.

~

The meeting went well and we have doubled our patrols. Trackers from my pack and Ryder's pack have been sent out with a piece of Ryder's clothing. Both packs are staying over at my pack house incase we or them were attacked, we would be together. I haven't left the office since yesterday night when we had the meeting. Somebody barges in and my head snaps up and instantly glare at the person. My glare lessens when I realize it's Mar. "What is it Mar?" I ask tiredly. "You haven't been out ever since yesterday. C'mon, you've gotta eat fo- IS THAT CHINESE TAKE OUT?" She gapes. "Err.....yeah," I say. "How do you even get it?!!?" she yells. She see's the balcony open with a ladder next to it. She looks shocked as she turned towards me. "Seriously?!" she yells. My anger skyrockets. "Yes. Seriously. I have to keep looking for him Mareena!!!! He's my, annoying and cocky, mate. He's surrounded by wolfsbane Mar!!! You don't understand. I could lose him at any hour of any day. I want to feel his presence and have his arms around me. You and Angie have Carter and Daniel. They're always here for you but Ryder is teetering at the brink of death!" I scream. Just like that, my Great Wall of China came crashing down. She comes towards me and engulfs me with a hug. "Oh Gracie. I'm sorry. Your right. Your in a delicate position and I should be comforting and helping you. I don't know what your feeling and I would kill everyone that bothers me from finding Carter. Im so sorry Gracie," she says. I cried my eyes out on her shoulder. "C'mon. You need proper sleep," Mar says. Suddenly Luis comes in and carries me off towards my room I suppose.

A/N: Yeah pretty short. Sooo Ryder is trouble eh?
