She’s gone

Dra POV

We were all so happy for Ash, and Midnight that we did not notice the ambush coming for us. Before anyone can react someone has her in a choke hold with a gun pointed at her head, I’m so stunned I can’t even hear what’s being said, how did I let this happen how did I not notice them coming. Looking around me everyone in my pack and Ash had gotten on there knees, with nothing else to do I follow suit staring at the man who has my best friend. I’m certain I’m white as a sheet because this man.... he’s an original member of the pack and he died months ago, I personally watched as they put him in the casket I said goodbye to him. I can’t move as he stares at me like I’ve done him some terrible wrong, but I didn’t I wasn’t even in the vicinity when he died.

“Midnight will be coming with us, and if anyone moves she will be the one to pay for it.” He sounds the same, for my own sanity I can’t remember his name I broke when he died, I look over at Midnight who’s being wrapped in a silver chain. They can’t seriously be doing this to her she hasn’t done anything she isn’t even trying to fight back she’s just looking at us with sad, pained eyes. She doesn’t scream or cry she just looks at all of us, I can’t stand seeing her like this. Before she can even think about anything she is being blindfolded and punched in the gut, when she falls to the ground I can’t control myself anymore standing to go save her.

A gunshot rings through the air leaving me looking at her again scaning her body for where the bullet went in, her thigh is bleeding but it looks like a through and through, I sit back down knowing that I caused that pain I’m the reason she is bleeding right now and there’s nothing I can do about it. She’s hoisted up and carried away looking like she’s about to yell something to us when they all vanish into thin air.

“No, no, no, no, no this is my fault I should have known something was wrong I’m so sorry Midnight.”

Midnight POV

I can’t focus, whatever he injected me with it’s making me fuzzy making me feel half whole like my wolf is gone. Coming to the conclusion that it must have been wolfsbain so that I can’t fight back or shift. I’m chained arms and legs pulled away from one another so I look like a starfish, I feel nauseated by the burning of my skin on the silver cuffs, this can’t be how my life is going to end I just got engaged, I haven’t had any children yet, and I’m only 21 years old. I have to find a way out of this, and soon. I hear footsteps approaching me and see Balthazar coming close sneaking food to me. He has pity in his eyes, and I know this might be my way out. “Please, you can’t let them do this to me. I haven’t done anything wrong they can’t keep me here.”

“You need to calm down, I don’t know what they want but they promised me that they would let you go as soon as they have some answers, I’m so sorry I didn’t know it would be like this they lied to me. You need to eat quickly before he comes keep your strength up and do not talk to him at all.” He starts feeding me and I let him knowing I’m going to need it. When my food is gone he takes the tray he snuck in with and leaves hiding it in his shirt. I hear footsteps coming again but these are different heavy with every fall. I prepare myself mentally going into my memory of the night at the bar and the morning after. I almost can’t feel the pain as I’m being cut, my wrists my thighs are my face. I don’t make a sound and I don’t flinch because that will only give him what he wants.

It’s like this everyday for a month but my wolf is with me now they found out shortly after I arrived that I was pregnant and no longer thought I would retaliate against them. They feed me torture me and chain me to the floor. “Don’t worry little one Balthazar said he would come today to help. We’re going home I promise.” I say quietly to my stomach that protrudes just a little making the dress that I arrived here in rip in some places to fit properly. I can hear the light and fast footsteps of Balthazar approaching, my heart feels lighter I’ve been saving my strength so we could escape. When he came to me a while ago he asked if I was really having a baby, the court had no choice but to tell him seeing that he was the only one I would talk to. I finally convinced him to help me get away and told him he would be aloud to come with and I would not tell anyone he was involved. He agreed he just needed to find a way to get the key, and now he was here to free us.

“We have to move now, there all asleep I drudged there dinner.” He seas unlocking me and taking my hand to help me up, when I stand he gasps. “You really are pregnant your always laying down when I come here. How far along are you?” I don’t even know the answer to his question so I just shake my head no, and motion for us to leave. Looking at me before going to the door and having someone come in. I tens ready to attack. “Hey calm down, she’s going to transport us out of here so it’s not a strain on you, she can’t talk tho but she doesn’t want you here. Wrote me a note when I approached her asking for her help saying that they only wanted you so they could have your baby, so when we get back you can’t leave the house alone.” I nod my head before grabbing her hand while he takes her other one, before I can even prepare we’re in the woods outside of the pack house and the witch is gone.
