Dancing in the Dark

Chapter 19. It was Always You

I growled viciously as another rope wrapped around my left forearm. I didn't know how to get out of these things, especially with my eyes closed. 

Tyler's POV***

I stood as my mate was being wrapped with vines. I couldn't watch her struggling frame anymore. I had to do something. I ran to the edge of floewr field, but before I got far, Blossom grasped me by the neck and flung me down to the ground. She stayed on top of me and pressed her all her weight onto her hands which were on my neck.

"What are .. . doing?!" I choked out in a raspy breath. I saw regret in her eyes, but what the hell was she doing?

"I'm sorry Tyler. I can't risk this. My pack's been through enough, and I'm not going to let you and your mate ruin what little we have left!!" She shouted as a tear fell off her cheek. Her orange hair fell over the side as she pressed more weight onto my neck. 

My wolf growled, more than pissed off at her betrayal to me and Raven. Before I could help it, he was in control. 

I grabbed Blossom's fragile arms with my hands and dug my claws into them, forcing a yelp to emit from the young Alpha. She jumped off and landed on her side before she was back on her feet. I got up within no time and had her pinned up against a tree, my arm pressed against HER neck this time.

In the distance, I heard Raven shout in pain. I glanced back at her to see she was now free of the green vines and was taking off towards the tree. With that as a distraction, Blossom kicked me in the stomach, making me fall back. Her eyes were now black, and I could tell her wolf was in control now.

I snarled viciously at her she inched towards me. She was hiding something behind her back as she lunged for me. It was almost like slow motion, but in reality I only had two seconds to counteract. She brought out a large rock from behind her and tried to slam it down on me, but I sidestepped, grabbed her by her leg, and flung her down to the ground.

She may be an Alpha, but she's a young girl and I'm stronger. My wolf made sure to remind her of that. With her unconscience, I glanced towards the field to see Raven who was almost to the middle.

"Raven!! Stop! You're there! Bury the necklace!!" I shouted across the field, but not until something hit the back of my head, causing me to fall into blackness.

Raven's POV***

As soon as I tore through a vine with my claw, it let go and recoiled. I didn't take any time to prepare myself for any surroundings as I took off with my eyes still sealed shut. I ran as fast as my feet continued to carry me, waiting for the sign saying I was at the middle.

"Raven!! Stop! You're there! Bury the necklace!!" I heard Tyler say from afar. His voices sounded tired and full of plea, and a little bit of his wolf was there. What had happened while I was in the field?? I just hoped Tyler was ok. If something happened to him, I'd feel awful. I stopped running and hasitly pulled the pendant off my neck, not bothering that I broke the chain.

I scooped up a little dirt and dropped the necklace in the hole, praying it landed inside. I covered up the ditch with the dirt in which I'd removed. Before I knew it, something made me fall back, as if the ground was rising up. I tripped backwards and tumbled down a small hill. God I wish I could open my stupid eyes.

"Raven, you may open your eyes now." Someone said, but their voice seemed familiar. I didn't do anything.

"Can I trust you?" I whispered.

"I don't know. Can you?" The man replied. I realized he was right. I was going to have to find out for myself if I could or couldn't. Slowly, I pried my eyes open. I saw the field I was now in. I had made it quite a ways out here. In front of me was a large tree, it looked like a willow tree actually. The trunk and branches were a soft grey, practically silver. The leaves fell off in a deeper, darker shade of grey.
