When I am done the room is coated in his blood, and so am I. I am breathing heavily as I look around. His body parts are laying all over. Before I could think about anything I needed to get to the headquarters. I run out of the cabin and head north.
After about 30 miles I see a small shack with guards in front of it. Still dumb as ever. I smirk to myself. Then start to walk out acting like I had an injured leg.
“Hel.. Help me.” I say hoarsely. I fall to the ground acting like I can’t move when I hear the two guards walk over to me.
One takes something out of his side pocket and hands it to me. It is a water bottle. I take it while making it seem my breathing is hoarse. I unscrew the top and instantly know they are testing me. I smell it, but it is a part of my plan after all. I can’t go barging in there when I don’t know the layout of the place. I take a sip and immediately spit it out and scream. Making it sound like I am helpless. They look at eachother and nod. One pulls out silver handcuffs and cuffs me while the other is smiling like he just hit the jackpot. I don’t struggle against them too much as they take me to a cell. They uncuff me only to cuff me again and hang me to the ceiling. My feet barely touch the ground. They inject me with wolfsbane and I scream before I act like I pass out. Once they leave the room I look around. It is dark here, but I can see that I am in a small cell with nothing. I hang there and try to formulate a plan.
After what seems like 3 hours of hanging there. I hear footsteps coming towards my cell. I quickly place my head down as if I was passed out still. I hear the footsteps stop just outside of my door. There were two sets of them. The door to the cell opens revealing two different men from the guards that brought me here. They have sick smiles on their faces as they come closer to me. They don’t realize that I am already up when the one says.
“Do you want to do the honors of waking this disgusting thing up?”
“Oh it would be my pleasure.” The other says.
All of a sudden I feel a silver tipped whip crack across my stomach. I jolt awake and scream as the pain erupts through me. It has been 4 years since I have been whipped with a silver tip and goddess that is f*cking painful.
Alaricks POV
I wake up to unbearable pain across my abdomen. I quickly lift up my shirt and see nothing. The pain quickly subsides, but I am left confused.
“Mate. That’s mate’s pain. We need to get to her!” Onin starts screaming at me trying to take over.
“Alrick what’s wrong? I heard you scream.” Maleena bursts through the door looking for danger.
“Something is wrong with LeeAca. I woke up to a horrible pain going across my stomach.” I say and I get up and start pacing the room. Where the hell is she?
“That’s.. That’s not possible. LeeAca never gets hurt like that when she goes hunting.” Maleena says, sounding like she is trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together.
“Maybe she got caught this time.” I say trying to put the pieces together myself.
“NO. She has been doing this for 4 years. The only way to get caught is if….” Maleena trails off and her eyes go huge.
“IF WHAT?!” I yell starting to panic.
“If she wants to.. “She says just barely above a whisper. My heart stopped and all of a sudden I felt the same horrendous pain across my back, making me fall to my knees and grunt in pain. Maleena runs over to me and as soon as she reaches for me the pain goes away.
“What was that?” She asks almost in a scarred voice.
“That is what they are doing to LeeAca. Where is she, Maleena?” I ask her seriously.
“I was so sure yesterday that she was out hunting. I have no clue where she is!” She yells then gets up and starts going through drawers frantically, throwing things all over the place. It doesn’t take long for me to realize she is looking for a clue of where LeeAca might be.
After a couple of minutes, she completely stops and starts walking toward the closet. Before I could resume looking through her things Marcus, Amara, and Lucas run in.
“What the hell are you doing Alarick?” Amara shrieks. I look at them standing there with looks of disapproval and when I go to speak a wave of pain goes through my body. Starting at my head then working its way down to my toes making me fall to the ground.
“ALARICK! What’s wrong?!” Marcus yells, coming over to my side.
“Something is wrong with LeeAca.. He feels what is happening to her.” I hear Maleena say from just outside the closet. I hear gasps and realize that the commotion has also brought in her brother Sebastion and his mate Redna. All of the packs were supposed to have left this morning, but I am guessing he stayed to help his mate.
“What do you mean Maleena? LeeAca has never… No. Not unless… No.” He says pacing around. When my pain stops I stand up and look at everybody.
“If anybody has any idea of where she is you need to start talking now.” I ordered. Nobody says anything. I huff in annoyance and realize that Maleena went back in the closet. I follow to see what is taking her so long. It isn’t a big closet. It’s not like she could get lost in it. When I walk inside I see another door that is open.
“Sh*t.” I hear Maleena whisper yell. When I walk into the door where she is I get confused. It is full of maps, pictures and a double computer screen on a desk. What is this place?
“This is LeeAca’s safe room. I call it that because it is where she does her planning on how to keep people safe.” Maleena says. Glancing at me then back to the computer.
“What are you doing?” I ask as she is massaging her temples while staring at the blank screen.
“I need to try and figure out her password. It won’t be easy, so I am trying to put myself in her shoes.” She says. As soon as she is done speaking Marcus walks in.
“Try December 12, 2017.” He says while looking down in a sketchbook he is holding. I hear typing as I go to grab the sketchbook he is holding and look down. There is a picture of two children laying on operating tables, both in awkward positions. Something inside me stirs and I am not sure why. On the digital clock the date reads DEC 12, 2017 18:53.
