Imprison

Chapter 23

*Thought this picture of Damon minus a shirt above would make everyone's day and maybe make up for this late but long update?! 😋*

Ellie opened her eyes slowly as her head was still sensitive from the blow she received from Hans. The first thing she saw was Rosie asleep next to her. Ellie had held Rosie close to her while she was knocked out. Ellie looked around the room that she and Rosie were in. She was in a large bed in a bare looking room. The room was decorated with the bare minimum. Wardrobe, curtains, bedside table and an armchair with her fiancé in it beside the bed. Pushed the covers off her and saw that she was still wearing her red ball dress. Great.

Ellie rolled over and with one arm still around Rosie, she touched Damon's arm lightly. Damon jerked up and smiled at Ellie.

"You're awake."

"No shit sherlock."

"Who's sherlock?"

"No one you would know. Where are we?"

Damon went slightly green when Ellie asked him where the were. Ellie sat up leaving Rosie on the bed. "Damon?"

He took Ellie's hand and looked her in the eyes. "Do you remember that day in the car when you asked if there was a reason why you shouldn't trust me?" Ellie didn't speak but she nodded allowing Damon to continue. "Then I told you that there was a reason but it wasn't my secret to tell. Well that same person decided that it was time for you to know his secret."

"Wait. So this guy that wanted me to know his secret, had me kidnapped?"

"Uh... He had your best interests at heart."

Ellie had to count to ten before speaking again. Once she was calm enough not to shout and wake up Rosie, she spoke. "My best interests are NOT to get kidnapped and hit on the back of my fucking head!"

Ellie was whisper shouting at Damon. "What kind of asshole does this guy think he is!?"

Damon stopped Ellie pacing and clamped his hands either side of her head. "Kleine Blau. I would love to tell you whats going on but like I said before its not my secret to tell."

"Can I see this asshole then."

"Don't call him that Kleine Blau. He is a good man. He has saved so many lives."

"Whatever. Can I see him?"

Damon shrugged. "When he's ready."

Ellie opened her mouth to argue more but she stopped when she felt something cold and wet brush her leg. She looked down to see Rosie nuzzling her with her nose. Ellie's eyes softened as she looked down at the pup.

"Hey Rosie. How are you doing?"

My name is Holly. I'm Rosie's wolf. Where are we?

"Well Holly some silly people took us to a man, who apparently wants to tell me his secrets."

Why am I here? We are both too young to be bonded.

Ellie didn't know much about werewolves but she did know that there was some spirit world where their moon goddess looked after wolves until they were ready to be bonded with their human form.

"Some bad things happened to Rosie that caused her to shift early. The moon goddess must have realised that she needed her wolves protection."

Holly's chest puffed out. I'll look after her!

Ellie scooped up Holly and blew raspberries into her belly. Holly squirmed and made yapping sounds that sounded like laughter. "I'm sure you will you little rascal."
