"You once hated me as well and you will continue to hate me after this," swiftly, I snatched him by the neck and pulled him close to me, I dug my piercers into the flesh of his neck putting minimal pressure; Cassuis's hand rose to my shoulder, clasp to it and tried to push me down onto the mattress hence freeing himself from my grip but he couldn't. I was still stronger, I moaned out painfully; tears filled my eyes and felt with all of his presence leave inside of me. I didn't think it would be that hard to free him, I wasn't just crying through the pain but the emotion I felt doing it. I was getting broken all over again; I was officially all alone. I realized him, unshackled his neck and aligned my face to his; he was quiet, unmoving and wasn't easing his grip on my shoulder
"What have you done?" he whispered
"Cassuis you are free just like you wanted earlier──you are free to hate me just like you've always do" I sniveled, his eyes met with mine and they were just as moist as mine were
"This is it?" he said taking his hands away from my shoulders
"This is what you do?" fury and rage spilled in his eyes as they bled over before his fangs extended.
He got on his feet and ranted,
"You've get it coming your way. As you wish" he exited swiftly, my throat clogged up to the point I couldn't breathe, what did he meant by his word; was it a threat that will disrupt me more? I couldn't say I didn't see it coming but I hoped he wouldn't backtrack
Desperately I pushed down a hand on my chest and eased my mouth opened, tears rushed effortlessly and my chest was exactly empty as I never felt it before. I forced my cry to be silent, sucked air through my mouth and let it out through my nose making my body quake and my chest pushed down painfully on my knotted heart. I haven't known to feel this way towards him, mother and father's executors meant I gave them a place in my heart unknowingly. I had grown accustomed to having him around even if I don't want to, the memory of just us together punished my heart even worst; the way his hands caressed my skin.
No! I hated it. I jammed the heel of my palms into my eyes and force myself to think of something else──the animosity I once held towards him; that is still should hold against him. There's a whole lists of ungoverned things that he's done to me that alone to make me despise the sound of his footstep. I should only focus on getting out of here alive and get back to Ruby and Hunter. After this, I knew Leo wouldn't even want the sound of my name and will never be able to forgive me for the further destruction of the remaining of his pack; especially his Alpha. He's now turned into an omega without even knowing; a wolf without a pack. I rubbed my hand against the skin of my face, cleaning out the forbidden tears I shed for the Vampire Master of Westlake coterie. Doing so, my face twitched up with pain and more tears escaped without my knowledge but those tears became grit. I lay in bed and waited for Flynn to come back in the room, he didn't. Slowly I fell asleep very much aware of where I was and the thumbing in my head──waiting.
"So you've let him loose from your claim," his voice soared my head, I blinked and opened my eyes to find him standing in front of me with kai; now in his human form.
"Is that for love or is it to wane my plan?" I coursed my firm gaze to Flynn
"He's gone far away brother with hatred he's always had for our family and your recent soured encounter; I'd say you should watch your back"
"You'd rather heed to that advice yourself,"
"Let's talk about this shiny bracelet" I moved my hand back and forth making it rattle
"I will be coming off it soon and you will help me out of it" I stated in a calm but assertive tone.
He smirked and answered, "How could I when you have what I need in you and without the vessel to contain it──"
I interrupted "What are you afraid of Flynn, if I can vessel the power why can't you?"
His face turned icy cold, he came by the bed and sat next to me and placed his palm down on my forehead "Dear sister, if you'd like to challenge me," he paused swiftly shove his hand under my rib cage, pulled up and drive inside towards my heart. I shivered in pain but I refused to give in to his satisfaction, all I needed to do was open my mouth to sustain the pain I felt by taking in more oxygen
"If I wish to obtain the 'pearl of life' back with the ancestral power then─" He paused yanking his hand out roughly, I screamed in pain as he did, now that I heal slower it was hell of a pain of endure like that
"I need you in that bracelet" he got on his feet
It all made sense why he had to keep me hostage, and powerless against him, I knew damn well I'd be pushing my luck with him with what I had to say
"You can't house the power that's why you needed something like the Paradlag to contain it" I breathe laughing out mockingly
In in that mocking tone, I added "So you could wear it like jewelry just like our fath─" I hadn't foreseen that he'd react in that manner; none hesitantly he smashed his hand across my cheek, the intensity of it was so that my head was forced to look the other side and my teeth cut through the wall of my mouth. Engulfing my mouth in the metallic taste of blood, I swerve back towards him licking the blood in my mouth and laughed hysterically at how angry he looked, his perfectly made hair was now somehow having locks loose.
"Don't─" he warned
I wasn't listening
"Speaking of him makes your blood boil? But for me it's death itself. You don't hate our father; you just can't stand the idea he chose me over you──his legitimate, pure blood heir" there came another blow hard enough to crush an elephant's skull to my head; I felt my brain absorb the shock waves and then transmitted it back as throbbing pain, nausea and dizziness. For a short span I nearly lost consciousness, I pulled my eyes opened and saw he was mad with furry and he wasn't the icy, malevolent Flynn I had seen but this was out from hell and was blazing hot with rage. His eyes deepened in color and the ring around his iris blazed deep golden; I could see it ripple with hate.
"Ironic, the bastard has it all"
it was like the world downed and it was put in mute while I watched him move quickly; swing his hand forward and gravity seized everywhere. That was the moment I felt the magnitude of his power; I watched myself levitate; like ropes it felt tighten around my upper torso forced blood out of the openings in my face. I saw the crimson liquid independently bounce in the air and splatter against my skin; I swerve and the room flipped on its head before gravity generated itself again. I landed first face down into the floor before the bed frame followed after and one embellishment rod came into contact with my right and pierced through me from behind. I breathed awkwardly; it was like every breath took a molecule of oxygen down my lungs; everything pulsed and throbbed with pain. My hand was still shackled to the bed; twisted and in pain while my chin was pressed to the cold floor that was the only thing I enjoyed──I enjoyed every bit of his anger display. He did just what I wanted; I wanted to feel my body throb in pain until I cannot move, until my mind shutdown completely. I watched blood make a pool under my head and spill to my view. His footsteps echoed in my head as I saw him walk towards me; my lip were still smiling while the rest of me is practically dead before my gaze swayed and gave me away to the darkness.
Heavy breath left my lips as I tried to open my eyes but they were sealed shut; my mind was slow but my body was slower. The weight of the pain pinned me in one position──which? I don't know. I can't even tell where I was; I couldn't see nor move but I could hear fairly enough. I heard that padding again; the sound of a heavy foot striking the floor; it kept landing like a rock in a sealed space. I remembered the riffles I saw from my brother; the charge and signature of his power. He's naturally very strong──stronger than I was before I consumed the Paradlag; if I dare to let him have it then
I thought Flynn just wants to deprive me of it and not cause havoc on the world; his rage was on me and my father and no one else but either way it's best to have it hidden like it's always been all this while. The darkness I faced was calm like something different had been added to it and a lot was taken away; the darkness was light. I could stay in it for as long as I could; emotions where all sealed off and I couldn't ask for anything else. I hadn't have peace like this since after the rash appeared; all I had to do was listen to the padding sound in the room.
Time passed smoother; neither could I tell I was asleep nor wake or somewhere in-between. Even the padding stopped at some point and I was left to my mindless self. It was staring into a dark screen seeing nothing but my own reflection in return. It became hard to swallow the saliva in my mouth; my throat gave off an after taste and burned significantly that it could not be ignored, harder to breathe and my back hurt the most. The darkness was getting contaminated; I could see it morph into a nightmare I'd feared. I started to freak out; the calmness left me and I couldn't reach out the tranquility I found. Suddenly the darkness began to spot with lights, specks and they started to grow bigger before it poured like a stream of water off a cliff. Cloudy and assaulting but I could see, lightly at first the emptiness in the room appeared to me; it was brighter than I remembered. The scope of my seeing was just two-quarter of what it was like before. I realized I was on my side and my hand was forced to house my head so it could hinder the view of the other eye, the other hand draped over my torso.
As soon as I moved it back slightly; I brushed into something and it waved concentrated pain into my back. I sucked in air rapidly in turn. Gently, I moved my hand backwards and dropped it by my side so the fingers would be against the mattress like spider legs. I traced the foreign body inside my lower back to the side and found it was a smooth metal bar; I slowly drew my head down wincing, I could see the end of it sticking out of me. I grabbed the other end from behind, instantly I started to shake but without further delay to avoid the mind of a sixteen year old human child from destroying my will, I pulled at it. I held my breath until I could no longer withstand the pain; I stopped, breathe heavily and then bite into the sleeve of my dress. I pulled it out with a yelp, throwing it across the room I breathe painfully through my mouth as the pain became so wild that it made me laugh. I rolled on my back, making my shackled hand snap in place with a sharp sound.
"It's true. My family really hates me" I said to myself
I realized I still couldn't see with my other eyes; I brushed against it, it was swollen and closed shut by heavily crusted blood. It would take a while to get it opened; I coughed throat full and I could hear it scrape against my chest in a painfully manner. I guess I had gotten myself wounded internally too; the riffles of his power must have affected me in that manner. Now fully awake and aware; it gave my ability to think back and I was stuck on the memory Flynn shared with me of Jake. How brutal his murder was? How no dignity was showed to him after he's been assassinated? How much thought my brother put into it just to hurt me efficiently. I coughed again and I could feel it come up with something; I push off the bed and it rushed out of my mouth onto the floor; it was clot of dark blood. I rested back in the bed sighing, maybe this is really my end; the realest of all enemies with a stronger resolve and reasons of all. I was in a bad shape; healing very slowly because of the shackle and further weakening of my body it could reach to a fetal point and the powers could spill to the ground becoming useless to everyone.
I closed my eyes a little, thinking of my mom; Elisabeth. How easy she made everything; she actually spoiled me just a little. I could get out of anything with her because I never seem to deal with my problems when she's there──she'd always had it under control. Kai came in his human form; he stood taller and bulkier than I remember; simply he stood in front of me like a body guard and his gaze was fixed forward
"What has he done to you? This is not the Kai I remember; feisty and will not let anyone control him like a puppet. The kai that loved his mate unconditionally," not even mentioning Maya fazed him; his demeanor was so cold it would freeze the space. Every while I coughed heavily and it came with more blood clots that were now sitting by the side of my bed. I felt sick, fever soared and then calms and my pulse was very irregular. I sat up against the headboard and watched him stand there like a statue; it made me feel worst
"Can I at least have something to drink Kai?" I asked; he was still unmoving
"I need something to drink" I coughed heavily until I nearly cracked my throat
"You can tell your master I will be dead before he finished devising his little tool"
"I can hear you whine about a drink," Flynn stated in heavy tone sighing, he proceed inside holding a glass in his hand; it wasn't a clear liquid; it had a red apple juice color.
"Is this alcohol?" I asked before taking the glass
"It will help with your pain," he said turning around to leave
He added "Oh yes, I will not let you die before I have what I want"
He exited simply, I had never taken alcohol before; my throat was so dry and I was desperate. I tilted the cup to my mouth and took a light swig. It burned, my brows knitted and my face muscles scrunched up
"It's not that bad" I smiled; I took my time before finishing what would take even a first time just a couple of seconds. It moisten my raspy throat, I set the cup down; lay back down quietly and watched kai like I did earlier. I thought of what would have been done if he found him just as a broken mate and not a mindless werewolf; I knew it would be a lot easier to get him back on track.
What would have Jake said to him if he was here?
