Red Like Roses

Chapter 7

Heather hears muffled voices through the ringing in her ears and feels a bright light through her eye lids. She groans and tries to move.

Please tell me I wasn't abducted by creepy,ugly aliens. She pleads silently.

The voices instantly stop and as she slowly opens her eyes she sees 3 men in the room. She blinks a few times and sees two dressed as doctors and the third .

Well the may not be creepy aliens but they're close enough. She thinks to herself and tries to push herself up but the two doctors rush over and hold her down. The final man stands in the corner observing her with his icy blue eyes. As they make the eye contact his lips turn into a smirk.

"Don't even try," don't even try he says his voice deep and commanding as his intimidating wolf aura washes over her. The doctors seem to shrink in fear but Heather just stares back defiantly.

HAHAHAHA, she laughs inwardly, he thinks his Alpha aura will work on me. All  Alpha's have an aura that makes others bow down and submit to his whims. Of course he doesn't know that I specialize in dealing with werewolves, so it wont work on me.

"You can't escape and we have no intentions of letting you go." Those words made Heather's anger and rage building up inside her. She wants nothing more than to wipe that smirk off his face.Then she saw him take out HER weapon. The weapon SHE made, that ONLY SHE used. She grits her teeth as her turns it over in his hands examining it. "This will be a wonderful weapon to add to our arsenal." Heather's anger boiled over. She had forged,designed, and fought with that weapon since she was 7.

NO ONE TOUCHES CRESCENT ROSE!, she yells in her head. She wasn't letting it go. She screamed in anger and threw the doctors off her! Then she rushes the Alpha in a blind rage. He easily side stepped her and hit her in her injured arm. She cries out in rage in pain as her knees shake. She turns to him a eyes him warily.

"That was LOOOOW," she says disapprovingly. He smirks.

"No, this is low," he then unfolds her weapon and uses the curve of the scythe the try and sweep her feet. As it nears her feet she jumps up and lands on the blade and the momentum carries her to the Alpha. She then kicks him in the face and tries to steal her weapon away but the Alpha tosses it away and quickly pins her to the ground with his natural greater strength and Heather being weakened he does so easily. One of the doctors runs over with a syringe full of blue liquid. Heather tries to squirm away but the Alpha keep his grip on her.

"You must stand her up in order for it to enter her circulatory system correctly," he says timidly. The Alpha nods and stood up dragging Heather with him. As the needle drew closer to her neck she began to struggle once more. She manages to free herself and runs to the exit grabbing Crescent Rose on her way out. She ran into the hallway and kept running.

No idea where I'm going, she thinks, but ya know what? Anywhere is better than in a place where people are trying to drug me. And I have to get back to the Spire. There are too many people relying on me. She kept running, her legs burning and arm throbbing. Then suddenly she takes a left and sees a door out. She runs toward it when suddenly a red portal appears in front of her.

It's her, she thinks. As the woman steps out of the portal slowly,sword in hand. Her hair black as night and blood red eyes like Solace's when she was angry. It was Raven.

"Well hello Heather," Raven says as she looks her up and down. "Ya know," she starts," what they say is true. You do look a lot like your mother."

"Don't you dare speak to me about my mother!" Heather says through gritted teeth, her grip tightening on her weapon.
