CHAPTER 3: Rampage
1037 Words
I gasped for air while coaxing myself that this is just a damn hell of a dream.
You wish.
I took a step backwards ready to run for my damn life. All thanks to my clumsiness for tripping through books and falling in my ass with a loud thud. Every heads snapped on my direction and I could see Malcolm's eyes turned scarlet when he landed his gaze on me. My heart literally stopped a beat and all the blood went up to my head and I prayed to all the Gods above to spare my life.
"The prey revealing itself." His words were like daggers to my whole being and with a blink of an eye, he lunged towards me as fast as if gravity doesn't exists.
"Rigescunt Indutae" I was shocked when he freezed mid-way as if there was an invicible chain in his body preventing him to move.
Seconds later I could hear rough coughing coming from Ashton and there I noticed his right hand were directed at Malcolm and his nose is bleeding. Oh my goodness! Was he the one who mentioned those weird sentence a few seconds ago? Is he some kind of wizard or something?
And with a snarl from Malcolm, he broke free of the invicible grip and grabbed my throat then slowly lifted me up from my feet.
I struggled for air and started kicking him but it was no use. As if I was just a rug doll in front of him.
"I can smell your veins." He sniffed my hair and licked his upper lips sending goosebumps in my body.
"I-I ca-can't b-breath" My eyes welled up at the thought of me dying to an ugly death when Ziva interrupts.
"Let her go you f*****g dog!!" He shouted at the top of his lungs and kicked Malcolm in his side causing Malcolm to throw me in the nearest desk and I hit my ribs. f**k! I yelp in pain, I think I f*****g broke a rib.
"Hey, are you okay?" Ashton came to me in a rush and help me sit straight causing me to cry in pain and he hushed me softly.
Brent and Ziva is fighting with Malcolm but I could care no less. I could only hear some bones and woods craking and glass shattering but they were out of my sight. They are in the farthest part of the Library where books had fallen out of place while some shelves were ruined or taken down. Ziva and Brent is trying to pin Malcolm down, but it is no use. Brent burried his fangs in Malcolm's shoulder while Ziva kicked his stomach. Malcolm, with all his strength grabbed Brent by his fur and throw him in the wall while he clawed Ziva in the chest. Bloods where everywhere, I felt dizzy and I can't think straight.
"Boy, that was one good fight." He smiled and licked the blood in his lips. "I never thought you mutts could have me sweating." He gave them a menacing smile and turn to me.
Hot liquids starts to fall down my cheeks as I was filled with worry, pain, and confusion. Who is this person? Why did Brent turned into a wolf? What is happening?
"See that little girl? See how many lives are being put in line because of you?" He took slow pace towards me. "Of all these years, they made the world believe in lies." Then he laugh devilishly but Ziva and Brent managed to pinned him down.
"Never let your guard down for a second, fool." Ziva said with smirk on his lip.
"Elina, do not listen to him." Ashton blocked my view of Malcolm and wiped the rolling tears in my cheeks. "Instraurabo." He place a hand in my ribs and I winced in pain and he recited his unknown language.
My visions became blurry and every corner of the room felt suffocating or it is just me having a really really hard time breathing? He then carried me and walked to the back door. He gave me a reassuring smile and walk out of the scene.
The moment where out, i heard the door slammed open once again and I closed my eyes praying, Please don't let it be another ally of this f*****g Malcolm! I didn't dare to looked at who came and just focus on the pain that's already spreading in my stomach. An angry, terrifying loud roar rang the whole library and with cold deadly voice said, "Surrender."
With that, everything went black.
I was in the middle of darkness when someone grabbed my arm so harsh I winched in pain. And there I was, back to the nightmares I always had. But this time, it's diferrent. I am no longer in the scene rather I am an audience. Standing in the corner, unable to move.
"Let her go!" I could hear begging from someone's familiar voice. I swear I've heard her voice before.
"Mummy, mummy help!" I wanted to move and snatched the little girl away from this man but I couldn't even move a finger.
"Shut up, you f*****g w***e!" He slapped the woman in front of me as i gasped in horror. How could someone jurt a woman physically?
A tear runs down my cheek but I couldn't sob, I choked but couldn't even mutter a single word. I watched with wide eyes as the woman dig her nails in the man's neck, straggling him with all her might.
"Now, you're getting brave." He let go of the little girl and punched the woman in the stomach. I want to shout but no words came.
Please make it stop!
"We can't keep her away from him for too long. He will gone crazy and his wolf will eventually take control of him and will kill us all."
I can hear faint conversations but doesn't have the energy to open my eyes.
"No, we are not. We are just buying her some more time."
"What if he finds out? What do you think Xav-".
I didn't have the energy to listen to them all along because my eyelids were locked and the drowsiness is slowly eating me.
