Chapter Nineteen || Electricity

The branches and twigs broke under my foot, dead leaves crushing, and my foot printing on the soil as I continued to run through the forest. I got separated from Kyston during our run. I didn't know my way around this forest. Yet. I wasn't worried and I was enjoying being able to run around and having to watch my back.

"Hey, gorgeous," my head snapped in the direction of the new presence. "Who are you?" I asked, being the person I am I couldn't help it when Everly brought out our claws for protection. "Easy, we just wanna talk," he said, approaching closer. He smelt off like he didn't belong here. His eyes were lighting green, his clothes were dark and dirty, poorly torn. "Who are you?" I repeated, almost growling at him. I can't judge as yet, my mother taught me better than that. "Oh honey, I'm you're worst nightmare," he grinned wickedly. Just as I was about to mind link Kyston, I fall to the ground and lost control of my body. The last thing I remember was a wolf hitting me from my side and a familiar syringe stuck into my neck before everything was gone and I gave into the darkness.

I immediately got alert when I woke up. My eyes scanned my surroundings only to realized I was chained against a wall with wires running down them. Silver burnt my wrists and ankles, keeping me in place.

Someone kidnapped me.

I tried to remember the wolf from earlier. Brown. Just brown, there are many brown wolves. I remembered the green-eyed and filthy blonde haired guy that distracted me. I was clearly in a cave. The mouth of the cave was not near but I could see the light and that gave me hope. It wasn't a big cave either. There was however a table with many blades on them, a chair, and a light hanging above me. The different sizes and shapes of the blades scared me for sure. My stomach was bleeding somehow. I didn't know how I got wounded but it was probably the assholes that took me. The more I kept breathing the quicker it healed. My eyes snapped to the entrance of the cave where three muscular yet scrawny men walked closer to me. All of them grinned when they saw me and my jaw clenched. Of course, I thought about mind linking my mate or anyone for that matter but it just wouldn't work. I could feel Everly but faintly.

"Who the hell are you?" I spit while I studied the two new men and the one who distracted me. "You're going to pay for this," I promised them and I was going to make sure of it. They have no idea who they are messing with. "The queen is awake," he smiled wickedly, showing his yellow and white teeth as his finger brushed the blades on the table.

I was trying to think of the possible reasons for why three rogues were on pack land. How the hell did they get here? This place was heavily guarded and always are being patrolled. The only thing I could think of is that they were smart enough to sneak in between shifts or maybe when the trainees were guarding for five minutes during my coronation two days ago.

"What do you want?" I asked instead. "It's simple really," the blondie shrugged his shoulders," we just want to show everyone what a weak queen they got and kill the king by using you as bait. See? Simple," he cheered, clasping his hands in front of his chest. "Typical rogue, jealous of the king," I taunted them. Their eyes shifted as they glared at me. In one swift move, a blade was skillfully in my stomach where the previous world was being healed.

"This is going to be fun," another said as I clenched my jaw trying to be strong and ignore the pain.

I screamed out in pain for the third time as the electricity shot through my body. I forgot what true pain feels like until today. Everly wanted to take over and work her magic, literally. I've kept that side of myself away for a long time but how much more of this torture can I take. "Are you dead yet? Ready to give up?" Blondie annoyingly asked. A whimper left my lips but I said nothing. My jaw clamped as another electric wave shot through my body. This wave was much stronger than the last but I contain myself. "Maybe she isn't as weak as she looks," the other rogue suggested as he flung another knife into my thigh.

"For once I agree with you," I managed to let out a laugh which only made them turn up the voltage in the electrical wave. That's it. I closed my eyes, ignoring their snickers.

"Gonna cry?"

"Giving up already?"

"No more fire, queen?"

I felt my eyes shift and the cuffs tell on the floor. So were the ones at my feet.

I was free. Barely bending down as I took the blade out of my thigh and stomach. "I'm more than fire, asshole," I sneered and the knives levitated above my head. I
used my hands to push a force, sending him into the wall and the knives followed to cut through his shoulder.
"What the hell..." the other two gasped, stepping back in fear into the corner.

"What were you saying earlier about slitting my throat?" My eyes were glued on blondie's apprentice. The knife floated in the air and with one move of my hand, it slit his throat and his body dropped lifelessly. I didn't feel guilty or bad. Not when one drop of it.

"What the hell are you?" Blonde spit out and I laughed at how ironic that was. I asked the same thing to him some hours ago. My eyes concentrated on him as I began to apply pressure to his throat. When his hands wrap around his throat trying to stop the force I push him up the wall.

"I'm your worst nightmare," I answered with a sarcastic smile. "Stop..." he tried to bet and I used more force. Like the other, his body dropped dead. "What the hell are you?" The last asked as he recovered from where I threw him on the wall. "You're annoying," I whined, grabbed his head, and separated it from his body before dropping his head to the floor.

I turned around ready to leave when I saw the face of my mate.
