The Unheard Truth

Chapter 13

    Anthony was shocked. So much had happened in the past few days that he didn't know what to do. " We should go after her." 

    "No," Janice said her voice was still ragged as if she had been chain smoking cigarettes for 5 days straight. "They'll expect it." She stumbled a little as she tried to walk towards Anthony. He grabbed her arm to help steady her.

    "What do you mean?" Simon asked 

    "They know i'll come back here," Janice said "They're going to expect us to come at them Immediately." 

    Anthony looked back at Simon "She's right, we need to make a strategy and attack them when they're least expecting it." 

    Andrea couldn't raise her head. She was in a lot of pain thanks to the man who locked her up. He had not given her his name, she just knew him as the "Doctor". He had been running a lot of tests on her. There was not a spot on her body that didn't hurt. It didn't help that she was currently tied to the floor. Her arms were tied behind her in such an angle that if she moved just right they would both be dislocated. There was a rope around her neck tied in a way that tightened every time that she lifted it but loosened when she kept her head down. As if they wanted her to stay in a submissive stance. Her knees were tucked up under her causing her blood circulation to be cut off. She tried several times to get the blood flow to come back but it caused her arms to get twisted more. Plus the "Doctor" had also tied her legs down to keep them from being moved to much under her. 

    Everyday around the same time the "Doctor" would come in and loosen the binds and take her to a room where he would try different experiments on her. Some would cause her to automatically shift into her wolf. Others would get her to halfway to shift and not in a way that was comfortable for her or her wolf. It was like molding two bodies together and not allowing either to be dominant. It was a constant breaking of bones that would try to continue the transformation just to stop and restart the process. 

    Once the "Doctor" Had his fill of fun for that day he would take her back to this room and retie her up. She had tried to escape the first time but because she had transformed and de-transformed so many times that he body gave out at the first attempt. She was just grateful that they had not tried to r**e her, that still did not break her when it came to her knowing that she was going to die here. 

    As she tried to meditate and get her mind off the pain she was currently in, the door opened. Expecting to hear the "Doctors" Voice she braced herself. "Oh my dear," A new voice said. It was deeper than the "Doctors" and had a British accent to it. "You don't need to do that," The voice came closer to her as it spoke "Today you will be getting a little bit of a break." Andrea lifted her head a little and immediately regretted doing so. The noose tightened enough to cause her to drop her head quickly. "We need our experiment to rest, so we will be moving you to a new spot, don't try to do anything stupid because I have that lovely serum the good doctor has been able to perfect and i'll happily inject it into you." 

    Andrea stayed still as she felt the ropes loosen around her arms first. They dropped down to her side as if they had no control of themselves. Next her legs were released and she slopped to the side. The noose was not taken away from her neck but used to help her stand up and follow the man into a room that had a bed with shackles attached to it. Once she was tied down the man pulled out a knife and laughed "Don't worry you wont be experimented on, but we will still have fun with you." 

    Anthony watched outside the window as the border patrol ran around the house. They made it seem like they had doubled the watch around the house when in reality they were just making a show of it. It had been a month since Janice made it back to them. They were working on getting a plan to get Andrea back and they needed to do it soon. Every now and again Anthony would feel some sort of phantom pain and he couldn't tell if it was because of what he was feeling or if something bad was happening to Andrea. 

    As he continued to watch the patrols he thought about Jazz and Daniel. He hoped that they made it to all the other packs to get their help. He knew it was a long shot that they would even come help but they still needed to try.  He prayed that they would come back soon with some answers. he was so deep in thought about what they needed to do next that he didn't hear the knock at his door or the person enter the room. 

    "Anthony?" Janice asked approaching slowly. 

    "Oh Janice," He said turning to her "What's wrong?" 

    "I think we need to attack that building now." Janice said. Anthony looked at her confused they were no where close to taking the building and keep people from getting gravely injured but they needed their luna back. 

    "Janice..." he started to say

    "If we don't go now she's not going to be the luna you remember." Janice said. Her voice held more of a desperation than conviction. It worried him. Janice lowered her head and took a breath then spoke more clearly "If we do not go now, they'll expect us later." 

    Anthony looked at her face and saw the fear she had but he could also see the determination that they needed to get Andrea back and they needed to get her back now.
