As I slowly sat up, and the man in the entrance walked forward, for a split second I thought it was King Theo, but then I noticed the differences. The King had similar green eyes to the twins, only without the silver-looking flakes in them that I now had after we marked one another, but this man had muddy gray eyes. He was also shorter and less muscular than the King, and of course, he was missing an arm.
This had to be Prince Fenrir.
“You really do look like her” He told me, as my heart raced in fear “Except the eyes, you must have gotten those from the dog she chose over me. Seeing them, makes me remember all the anger I felt back then, all over again”
“Yeah, break up’s are a b*tch” I commented, and moved away from the door of the cage, that he was now standing in “You should look into therapy”
Fenrir smiled “You really shouldn’t talk unless spoken too”
“And you really should introduce yourself, and shake a persons hand” I spat back, and reached out my hand “Oh, wait, you lost arm, my apology”
Fenrir growled, and raised his good hand, and I gasped in pain, as I felt all the oxygen leave my body, I fell forward onto my hands and knees, and tried desperately to breathe, but nothing was coming into my mouth, when I felt myself passing out, he lowered his hand, and I started gasping for air, as tears fell down my face.
“I won’t tell you again, girl” He warned, and approached me.
He knelt and grabbed my chin, I didn’t like his touch, and growled, as I tried to pull back, but he gripped me tighter, and leaving bruises.
“I’m going to give you one chance to join me willingly, and help us bring on your molt to give me your blood”
“I would rather die” I told him.
“You may just die yet” He commented “I need to bring on your molt, and I don’t have a lot of time. Your blood won’t work properly until your flame is alight”
“Scr*w you, you murderer” I snapped “I won’t give you anything, and all I have to do, is wait for my mates”
“Do you really think they’ll come for you?” He asked “You seem more trouble than you’re worth, in my opinion, they’re probably happy you’re gone”
“It’s a good thing, I didn’t ask for your opinion then”
Fenrir growled and slapped me hard, my head thrust back, and I felt a stinging in my neck, as I groaning in pain.
He stood up, and looked down at me “TROY!” He shouted, before looking down at me “Remember I gave you a chance”
Troy walked in looking excited, and I cringed.
“Bring her, it’s time to get started’
Troy came into the cage and grabbed me, but I kicked him hard, and he hit the silver bars of the cage, and screamed, I tried to get up, and run, but he recovered quickly and grabbed me by my arm, and yanked me back to him, and he dragged me struggling from the cage, and out of the hut, yelling at me and swearing revenge for getting him burnt.
He angrily shoved me down, so I was lying over a large log, and he strapped me to it while I screamed and fought the entire time, until I could no longer move more than an inch.
Troy was breathless as he shoved against my head to help him steady himself as he stood up, and growled in response.
“I can’t wait for the twins to rip you apart”
“Yes, they’re very scary” Troy laughed, as he picked up a silver whip.
“This is going to hurt you, Madelyn” Fenrir told me, as if I didn’t already know “But it will be worth it in the end, you’ll feel much more comfortable after your molt, you’ll thank me for this”
“Sure” I shot back angrily, as I continued to try and struggle free “I’ll send you a thank-you card!”
“Oh, one more thing before we begin”
Fenrir stood on my hand that was flat on the log, and I bit down on my bottom lip to stop from crying out, as he bent and ripped my mother’s ring from my finger.
“You don’t deserve this” He told me, and pocketed it.
“I will take that back one day” I warned him, and he smiled.
“You really are a bold one” He responded “Lets see how long it takes before you break”
“Neither of you have the power to break me”
“We’ll see” Fenrir seemed to like that I’d challenged him “Begin”
I started breathing harder, and braced myself as Troy lifted the whip.
I tried not to scream, I tried to hold it in, knowing it wouldn’t stop the pain in any way, it would just give Troy more pleasure, but after he brought the whip down for the ninth time, I couldn’t stop the screams that escaped my lips.
The silver sliced up my already damaged back, giving me more scars.
I closed my eyes as I wept and screamed, and kept repeating the same mantra in my head ‘They’ll find me, they’ll come for me’
I lost track of how many times I was hit until finally the burning and stinging vanished into unconsciousness.
I don’t know how long I was asleep, when I felt a wall of water hit my face, I gasped in shock and fear, as I sprang up, trying to breathe through the cold water, when my bleeding back hit the bars of the cage, and I screamed in agony, and fell forward, at someone’s feet.
When I looked up, I saw a red-haired girl, I’d never seen before.
“Who are you?” I gasped, and took deep breathes.
“You don’t recognize me, Luna?” She asked happily, and her face began to shift into Molly’s for a moment before changing back “You know, it’s kind of f*cked up that you didn’t even notice we’d replaced your little maid”
“She was late after the wake” I commented.
“That’s right” The girl laughed “Julia wasn’t nice about it either, threatening to kick her ass if she was late again, and the whole time, the girl was rotting in the dirt. She didn’t go easy either. You’d be proud”
I felt tears fill my eyes, poor Molly. All of this to get to me? This was all my fault.
“Oh, come on” She laughed, and squatted in front of me “You’re not going to cry for the b*tch, are you?”
I growled, and threw up my hand, making contact with her chin, her head flung back, as I jumped up, ignoring the wrenching pain from my back, and grabbed her head, before bringing it down to make contact with my knee.
The girl was out like a light, and I threw her to the ground, before running to the opening of the hut. I could see Troy eating something by the fire, so I snuck out as quietly as I could, heading towards the nearest tree. I couldn’t see Fenrir, but there was another hut made from the same leaves and twigs, the other was made from, so I suspected he was in there.
Every time I lowered my foot, I cringed nervously as the dead leaves crunched, in the silence of the woods, each noise I made, felt like I was banging a drum and my heart would race.
It was already hard enough, not screaming from the pain of my back, with each movement of my body, but I knew I couldn’t stop.
“Jax, Koda?!” I tried linking them, but there was nothing, and I felt more tears fall down my cheeks.
When I felt like I was far enough away, I started running, but even with the adrenaline, each movement would rip my wounds on my back open again, and I had to clamp my mouth shut, to stop from screaming.
I didn’t know how long it had been since I had been taken, or if it was even the same night, but I knew I couldn’t give up, the twins would be looking for me, I knew they would.
I thought I heard noise behind me, so I turned and scanned the tree’s, but thankfully, I didn’t see anything, so I turned again to keep running, but I froze when I saw a dark figure leaning against a tree in front of me.
“I hope you killed her before taking off” Fenrir’s voice rang through the clearing. I was running through “Because she’s dead when we get back’
