At first he looked at me sort of strange, but then he asked in a very suspiscious manner, "are you alright?" I was frozen on the bed breathing hard, not really sure what life was going to throw my way next.
*Adelina's pnt. Of view*
I sat up rigidly on the bed as Dave took a step back.
"Are you sure you're alright? I mean, you can stay here, it's a hospital, there's nothing to be afraid of. No one can hurt you here, and better yet, you can still talk to the police. Lina please." Protested Dave.
"Dave, really, I'm fine. I just really want to go home. So are you going to help me or not?" I asked back in full conscious control of my mind and body.
"Of course. Okay, I'll help you. But first, where exactly is home?" Questioned Dave.
"Southern Georgia." I answered with no hesitation.
"S-sounthern Georgia? As in the US Georgia?!" Replied Dave.
"Great! You know your states. But don't worry, all I need is for you to get me across the border. I can find my way home from there." I said picking up my bag, and walking out the room, with Dave in tow.
Shift change was soon to end, so, I tried to be as invisible as possible, but then a few steps behind me I heard "excuse me? Miss, you're not allowed to leave your room without the nurse's approval? Miss? Miss?! Hey! Coke back here!" Said a male voice behind me.
It didn't take a genius to figure out that it was a security guard.
I looked back at Dave, and it's as if he read my mind.
Without wasting a breath, we took off on a run.
Seconds later, an alarm started blaring all over the place as a robotic female voice came over the intercom "Code Gray. Code Gray. All security personnel alerted. All security personnel alerted."
The same warning repeated over and over.
We reached the elevators, but they were already shut down, so we settled for the stairs.
A few seconds later we heard pounding footsteps coming from both ends of the stairs.
We already had made it three floors down, so in a hurry, we exited the stairwell, and barged onto another floor.
We ditched the main halls, and tried to find shortcuts until another stairwell came into views.
With quick footsteps and labored breaths, we entered the stairwells and instantly froze.
A few flights down, a security guard was questioning a nurse, and going back up wasn't really an option.
"Crap!" I muttered, a headache suddenly coming on.
I was breathing hard, as well as Dave, and I had nowhere to turn.
I placed my hand on my forehead, in effort to calm down long enough to think clearly.
We heard the officer finish his interrogation with the nurse and started to make his way up.
I thought to turn and exit the stairwell, but that wasn't an option either, when I spotted two more officers.
"Hey, I'm sorry Dave. I got you into this mess." I said, already feeling as though I've lost a battle.
"Hey no it's fine. Trust me okay?" Said Dave as he started making his way towards me, his eyes burning into my eyes.
"What?" I asked confused, taking a step.
"And please don't slap me after this." Said Dave in a hurry.
"Dave wha-" my question was suddenly muffled when Dave grabbed my cheeks, and placed his lips on mine.
*Demitrey's pnt. Of view*
The last resilient warrior from the High rise pack retreated past our boundaries in the forest at the break of dawn. The usual routine, and like clockwork, the minute the safe bell rang, the warriors who weren't injured instantly picked up those who were in critical condition, and brought them close to the cots by the castle.
The clinic was already too full.
Diana and her group of nurses made their way to those in critical need to try to mend their wounds and have them back on their feet by sundown.
That's when the High rise pack warriors always attacked.
At sundown we start fighting, non stop, warrior after warrior, dead body after dead body, then, at the break of day, they retreat and come back at sundown.
The minute Diana's team was out the doors, the kitchen ladies rushed out with buckets of water and food. They always fed the wounded first, and those recovering second, then those of us still standing, we would help out as much as we could.
None of us hardly got any sleep, since the night Adelina was kidnapped, this has been our routine.
Yet through all the battle, and the gruesome sight, that night is all that continuously replayed in my mind.
*Flashback*
I was sitting at the table, waiting for my mate to come back, so I could tease her some more when Cilia came running frantically as she fought to catch her breath.
"A-a-d-ina- eh- eh- sh- she- ki-d-ki-ki-kidamapped!" Exclaimed Cilia as she tried to breathe.
"What?! Cilia, breathe." I ordered.
She took a deep breath, and exhaled "Adeli na has been kidnapped!"
"'Wha-"
"Alpha! Alpha! The pack is under attack! The pack is under attack!" Said one the warriors as he barreled through the buffet towards our table.
My heart stopped.
My Luna has been kidnapped, and now my pack is under attack.
It felt as though everythujng was suddenly falling apart.
"Alpha, what do we do?" Questioned another warrior.
I took a deep breath, and shook off my worry.
"Okay, James, Kade, round up the warriors, and surround the pack at our boundaries. Cilia, recruit Diana, and round up the women and children inside the castle. There, give every woman a group and position. Have the newly added warriors be at the ready for back up and reinforcement. Me? I have a Luna to save." Everyone agreed, and I turned to leave when Cilia said "wait, you can't go after them, if you do, they will kill her."
"You know I'm not afraid of a measly threat." I said, and turned to leave, when Kat came out with a sly smirk and said "actually, you should listen to the pregnant bitch, or your dear mate, dies."
Next to me, I heard something clatter to the floor, and there, I turned and saw James, frozen, with eyes and mouth wide open.
James opened his mouth to say something, but Cilia beat him to it when she said "I thought you followed Clarissa out like a lost puppy?"
"And give you the opportunity to snitch on us? No way." Said Kat with a smile, then she turned to James and pouted in a mocking way as she said "aww, is poor Jamie heartbroken? Too bad mutt. I never really liked dogs." She smirked, and James eyes became so dark.
In a flash I remember, he jumped over the table and his hand was suddenly clasped very firmly around her throat. But she didn't look shaken up, In fact she looked calm. Too calm.
"Its a distraction." Mutteted Cilia. "Guys she was sent after me as a distraction! Clarissa's probably gone with Adelina now!" Declared Cilia.
I went to run through the back, when I heard James mutter so darlky "guess her coming back here wasn't in vain." Then I heard what sounded like someone struggling to breathe.
"James. Don't." I said turning around, "Adelina wouldn't want you to kill her. No matter what she has done. We'll deal with her accordingly. Let it go."
It took a second, but he finally let go.
Kat, her dumbass took a deep breath, then taunted James again as she said "oh that's right. It's always about what Adelina wants. What Adelina would want. You guys worship her. Just like my parents did. But, karma is a bitch. And Adelina is going to get just what she deserves."
No one could've anticipated, or prevent what took place next.
In a matter of seconds, James took a beer bottle, bit the neck off, and drove it into Kat's chest.
Then with one last look at me, he fled the scene, but his eyes, so dark, so angry, confused, and just lost.
No one seemed in a hurry to aid Kat, in fact she bled out, till she was lifeless.
I made a move to go to the back of the restaurant, but then Diane came crashing through the room covered in blood, as she announced breathless "pack- attack- womenchildren- slaughter!" And everything went blank.
Kade, the two messengers from earlier and I transformed into our wolves, and took the shortcut through the forest, by the time we got back to the pack, it was already a full battle ground.
And James... well James was ruthless.
Soon we go the upper hand on the opposing team, but as soon as dawn broke onto the horizon, they retreated.
We thought they gave up, but once they came back, and with reinforcement as soon as the sun set, we knew that wasn't the case."
*End of flashback*
