The dark moon

Chapter 22••Ready for death

Chloe POV

Meanwhile…

I stuck my arm through the bars of my cell to reach out and stroke Eva’s hair. She had passed out after Scarlett killed Maisie.

I wish I had.

After she had finished fücking that thing in Maisie’s blood, she drew one of the strange signs on Maisie’s head. Then she did something I still can’t comprehend.

She cut her head off.

What type of person does that? She took someone so sweet and innocent and took her life, then she desecrated her body by fücking that thing beside it, then cut her head off!

When Eva finally came to, they had just gotten round to removing Maisie’s body. The smell was overpowering. It had started to attract rats who nibbled away at her rotting corpse. It broke me to see that I will never be able to erase that image from my mind. Eva screamed when she realized they had cut Maisie’s head off. This only made the twisted fückers laugh. The one dragging her body out thought it would be fun to put Maisie in the cell with Eva.

Right now, at this moment in time, I wouldn’t give a fück if this whole building burnt down to the ground with myself inside. As long as they all died, I would die happy. Eva had been sitting in the corner furthest away from Maisie’s body. I was trying to keep her distracted, but it wasn’t working.

“You two get up now and strip!” Titus growled at us.

“Screw you, you fücking piece of shít!”

I spat at him through the bars. My spit landed on his cheek, filling me with satisfaction. He wiped it off whilst smiling at me, my satisfaction disappearing as my stomach twisted and fear filled me. He looked evil. He opened the cell door, storming inside, and punched me across my right cheek. I fell down to the ground, my cheek throbbed painfully, and my eyes watered.

“Strip now or I'll do it,” he smirked at me.

“I’d rather die, you sick fück!”

He picked me up off the ground as he punched me in the gut and slapped me across my left cheek now. My face felt like it had been hit by a truck going full speed down the highway. He ripped my shirt off and threw me down onto the ground. He started to grope my body. His rough hands felt like acid on my skin. I felt him tugging on my pants trying to pull them down.

“No! Please!”

I cried as I thrashed about, kicking my legs to try to get him away from me.

“Get off her you fücking bàstard!” Eva screamed.

BOOM!!

What I can only describe as an explosion boomed throughout the building. The whole room shook, temporarily stunning Titus. Scrėams that sound like war cries flooded my ears. The door to the room swung open.

“Titus, I don’t have time for this. Those fücking dogs think they’re clever bringing a fücking witch!” Scarlett looked frazzled.

She was rushing around grabbing stuff and placing them in the pentagram. Titus grabbed me by my hair and yanked me up. He threw me into the main part of the room. Blagden shimmered into the room right in front of Scarlett and ran his claw along her body, stopping and letting it rest on her stomach. That's when I noticed the small bump.

She was pregnant, but how?

I unfortunately saw her naked yesterday, and she definitely was not pregnant then, but she is absolutely pregnant now unless she’s had some really bad sushi that’s made her stomach bloat.

“You're pregnant?” I whispered.

“None of your fücking business. Titus, the other one now!”

Sounds of scrėaming and loud howls were starting to filter through from outside the door. It sounds like mayhem out there. Titus opened up Eva’s cell and dragged her out by the arm. Scarlett grabbed Eva from Titus, pulling her so they were face to face.

An evil smile filled her face as she pulled her arm from behind her back and slit Eva’s throat. It felt like the rug had just been pulled from under my feet. My gut twisted with pain. I knew that this was it for me and I was ready for death. Anything would be better than this.

Everything was moving in slow motion.

Scarlett turned, walking toward me. The door burst open and wolves, huge big ass wolves, ran into the room. A wolf that looked like it was made from silver looked at me straight in the eye, making me feel strange. I didn’t feel scared. I felt like I knew this wolf. The wolf’s gaze snapped to Scarlett and the dagger in her hand, then Eva’s body on the floor, and snarled. Its razor-sharp canines could be seen sticking out from its snout as drool dripped onto the floor. Another wolf that looked larger than the silver one and was as black as night ran into the room heading straight for Blagden, swiping its huge paw across Blagden’s chest, it swats at him like he’s a rag doll, sending him flying across the room. Blagden shimmers back, landing behind the black wolf and raising his own claws in the air. Just as his claws were coming down, another wolf leaped toward Blagden, pushing the bigger one out of the way. It whimpers as Blagden’s claws slashed across one of its hind legs, blood spilling out onto the floor. The largest wolf turned, stalking toward Blagden whilst the silver one leaped at Scarlett, pinning her to the floor. She started to chant in that strange language again. Blagden looked over at Scarlett shimmering to her, then he shimmering again, taking Scarlett with him.

Titus is surrounded by wolves. They circled around him, snarling viciously. I hope they rip the fücker to shreds. More wolves started to fill the room and the one I saw first, the silver one who seemed familiar to me, started to shake before changing into a man.

I couldn’t believe what I have just seen and my brain is wanting to shut down. Before the darkness consumed me, I felt a pair of strong hands pick me and a voice so deep and sėxy say mate.
