The Fae's Chance

Chapter 3

Thomas's POV♤

Of course he had to say "run". Running is my biggest weakness. 

I stood there as people started to take off towards the nearest exit. Watching people push each other out of the way and trample people till they looked like a bloody piece of meat. It put me into a trance like state. The high pitched screaming only seemed to blur the surroundings together.

I leaned against the ruby red lockers for support. I was trying to focus on the black and white tile on the floor so I don't pass out. I couldn't breathe. When gunfire started off somewhere in the distance I started to panic. 

I should have run when everyone else did. Now the only people still in this hallway were the people who got injured in the stampede. A metallic smell started to take over the hall, and it left a bitter taste in my mouth. But I couldn't run. I was just frozen in place.

Suddenly I was hit by a wall and slammed into the floor. A big muscle wall. That was laying on top of me.

"What the hell! Get off me you wall!" I screeched in rage. 

I don't know how I got the words out, but the more I looked at the "wall" the more afraid I was about yelling at it. Or rather he. I never looked at his face. He had a large build, the kind that takes hours to create.  His hair was a dark brown, and bright green eyes that reminded me of the meadows in springtime by my old house. Something in his eyes told me he wasn't quite human, they appeared almost catlike with reflections if the light.

I could feel him staring down at me for a few seconds. I tried to look past him, and I really wish I didn't.  His ear were pointy.  They were practically elf ears.

Only the Fae are known for this.

He whispered something that I couldn't fully understand (it sounded a lot like the word 'mine' but that's impossible because I am no ones). Then ,like an asshole, he licked my outer ear. Who does that?

Don't be a Fae. Don't be a Fae. Please don't be a Fae. I thought. I knew he was a Fae but is it so wrong to hope that he isn't?

"Are you scared kitten?" He whispered in my ear.

I squeaked out a 'no' and continued to look at everything other than him. I refuse to look at a weirdo who licks stranger's ears. Who knows what else he licks!

"Then why won't you look me in the eye?"

"I don't k-know." Lie. I was scared. You don't look at the Fae, they will force you into things you don't want to do. They will control your mind, body, and soul, until you are no longer human. You are a pet.

I could feel that he was about to say something more but tensed up instead. Shouting could be heard from down the hall. The hunters must be regrouping!  This is my chance to get out of this!

"He--" I started to yell until he covered mouth with his large hand.  Thin fingers fought their way under my chin, forcing me to look up.

"If you make one more sound I'm going to flip you over and spank your ass so hard you won't be able to sit for a month." His husky voice growled in my ear.

I nodded and he took his hand off my mouth. Then stood up, pulling me along with him, and threw me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. 

Well this is a fun time. 

I struggled a little bit because of the uncomfortable position and he smacked my butt as a warning. Then took me outside to a black 2018 Jeep Wrangler, and strapped me in the middle seat.  When I say strapped I mean strapped, it was a redneck straitjacket.

Holy shit!  I'm being kidnapped!

How is one supposed to act in this situation?  It's completely absurd. What do I do, scream, cry, fight?  This only happens on the fucking movies! Why the hell did school not prepare me for this?

The assholes.  I thought bitterly, picturing my revenge I will take when I get out of this.

I looked for another escape route.  The car windows were tinted so that only the people in the car could look through the glass. So much for motioning for help.  Screaming out, cause who would hear it, and fighting without hands or legs is hard. It's an impossible situation.

"What's your..." Pointy ears tries to ask me something but I interrupt.

"Where are you taking me?" It's a cliched question but I didn't want to give him a chance to ask about me.

"Don't interrupt me mate. I don't know if I will be able to control myself if you do." He threatened.

"We aren't f-f-friends." Why would he call me 'mate'? Is he British? He doesn't sound British. He doesn't have an accent.

"When did I say we were friends?" 

He has got to be kidding me. You don't call someone mate if you mean something other then friends. He's probably just messing with me now. 

"What else would you mean by 'mate'?" I all but yelled at him. 

That bastard started chuckling. I fucking knew he was messing with me. I'm getting angry now. If there is one thing I can't stand, it's people laughing at me. 

"Listen hear asshole!" I take a deep breath and continue. "Who the fuck do you think you are! You and your pointy ears are just sitting in the front seat all high and m-mighty! But guess what! I can and will beat you over the head with a curtain rod when I get out of here! You..." 

" Better watch your language kitten. If you don't I can't promise I won't bend you over and take you on the hood of the car." He kept his voice calm but I could tell he was fighting to shout it out.

I didn't say anything after that. I just let him drive to car to wherever it was he was going to take me.

??????? POV ◇

Looking at the boy in the back seat made whimper quietly. I don't want my mate to be mad at me for any reason. I had to take him out of the school. More hunters were showing up (the others were dead). They kill all citizens who see them deal with the Fae.

Being a Faerie myself has put me in a place to always know what they are thinking. I have to be on a constant look out for malicious thoughts. 

I look back at my glaring boy again and imagine what it will be like when I show him my true self. Being able to change forms is a blessing. Only a Faerie's mate will be allowed to see what that Fae truly looks like.

I wasn't supposed to find my mate today. It was supposed to scare the government. None of the children were hurt by us, and the kids who were taken all had mates. However the purpose never was to find mates. 

Now that I met my mate I wouldn't have it any other way. He's feisty, and I can't wait to break him. To show him who he belongs to. My gorgeous mate.

I watched him start to fall asleep.  I gave him something to knock him out a while ago.  I'm glad it's finally taking effect. I was getting a bit tired of the glare that never left his face.

I can't wait to take him home.  

However, preparations must be made before that can happen.  First I must win his trust...

Then he will be mine.

N/A 
This chapter is a little shorter than the other two, and I apologize for that.

I would also like to say that this is a series and the next book will be up by December.  There will be 4 books, and all of them can be read stand alone.

Hope you enjoyed it and I hope you are having a great day :)
