The Alphas' Chimaera

Revenge With A Twist

Pain seems to be a familiar feeling.  Everyone wants to cause me pain. This last week has been absolute hell. I’ve become so numb in feeling and weak in the body that I no longer put up a fight when they beat me. I am used to abuse by now it comes like clockwork. There is nothing I could do to defend myself even if I wanted to. They have me in a small concrete room with one giant mirror next to a giant steel door. They have me cuffed to the wall and have me sitting on a flat, hard, dirty mattress. I am unable to lay down even if I wanted to.

The only good to have come out of this week is that I have learned to shut Alex and Jess out. I couldn’t handle the arguing or the pain they felt. It only made me hurt worse. I want to feel nothing, be nothing. The last beating, they had brought a knife and had made several deep cuts. I wish they would let me bleed out, but they never hurt me that badly. James gets off on the torture of my body. How I could have ever loved him I will not know. How Jess still tries to call out for him every time he enters my prison shocks me. James is evil and unhinged often coming in to have his way with me.

I lean against the wall and rest my head against my long asleep arm. I need sleep, part of their torture is not letting me sleep. I close my eyes and just as I thought I would get something resembling sleep a loud noise comes over the intercom system. “Remember Kassy no sleeping. It’s a big day today you are going to have a visitor.” Its Rebecca, its always her voice. “f**k off.” I mutter and an immense pain shoots through me. Electricity is a b***h and their favorite hands-off method. “That’s no way to act. Your special visitor is about to wake up you wouldn’t want him to hear such vulgar language.” I can hear the smile in her voice.

I wonder who this special visitor is maybe he will be the one to kill me and end this constant pain.

“You’re going to want to watch this show. It is a good episode on tonight. Spoil alert she is going to kill you and reject you as she does it.” James tells me. “She wouldn’t do that! She loves me!” I tell him and he just through his head back in laughter. “You would be surprised what one does to make the pain stop.” His smile is evil and sadistic.  I am red hot, my heart bumping at inhumane rate my vision is blood red and the sight of Rebecca just dropping Kassandra sends me over the edge.

I break the arms of the chair and charge towards the glass. I easily make it through, and Rebecca is shocked to see me on top of her.  She says something but I can’t hear it behind my veil of rage. My hands circle her throat and I squeeze as hard as I can. I can see the veins in her face enlarging and her eyes practically popping out of her head. I can barely feel her hitting me. I just want revenge. No one is allowed to touch her but me. They will all pay. Then I hear it, my name, spoken softly.  “Elias, is that you?” I turn and I see her in all fours looking at me confused. She then shakes her head. “No, it can’t be. Elias is dead. Just a hallucination.”

She sits back against the wall on the tiny mattress her eyes blank and staring across the room. All the rage I once felt is melted I just want to hold her. “Kassandra?” I call out and she looks at me. “Elias, why did you hurt me?” I was confused I hadn’t laid a hand on her I wasn’t responsible for this. “Kass I didn’t, I am here to free you.” I tell her and I can hear James laughing. I stand in front of her to shield her from him. “What’s so funny?” I ask and he takes a break from laughing to try and catch his breath. “She is father gone then I thought. I guess that’s what a week of 24-hour torture does to you.” He goes back to laughing.

I go to threaten him but suddenly there is a chain around my neck. I turn to see Kassandra holding tight to the other end. “Kass what are you doing?” I ask her and she has tears rolling down her face. “I just want the pain to stop.” She whimpers “You’re not real, James has already killed you.” I am not sure if she is talking to me or herself. “Kass I am real, James tried to kill me but didn’t. I don’t know what he has been telling you, but I am alive.” I try to bargain. “Enough chit chat.” James says Kassandra pulls hard on the chain I can barely breathe.

She is weak very weak and has no chance against me in a proper fight, but I will not cause her anymore pain. I grab the chain and tug hard sending her flying towards me. I hug her to my chest as she struggles to break free. “Kassandra, remember when I saved from that rouge? That was when we first met. I knew as soon as I saw you that you are my mate and that I was going to protect you no matter what I am sorry that I failed you.” I hug her event tighter but her struggling stops. She gently pushes at my chest and I slowly release. She looks at me and her eyes a sad yet happy. “Elias is it really you?” she asks, and I nod. “Of course, I’m sorry it took me so long to find to find you.” I tell her.

She collapses in my arms. She is tired and weak. I gently set her down and turn towards James, but he is gone. “Sorry I had to run but I will see you two very soon.” His voice comes out from a small speaker in the corner. I try to shake off all the rage I feel and gently pick Kassandra up. I take one last look at Rebecca’s body and notice a cell phone has slipped out of her pocket. I grab her and head out of the room. My only goal now is to get Kassandra home safely and to a doctor.
