I am Broken

Chapter 5- Willow POV

                The bright sun came beaming through my window as I lay in the bed, the sun finally reached my feet and warmed my toes, it became cold at night and I was difficult to sleep anyway with all the worry and anticipation of today’s meeting, a knock came from my door as I sat up in my bed “come in?!” I shouted as I covered myself with my blanket, the door opened, and Jake came inside.

                 “What do I owe this pleasure” I said sarcastically, he sighed as he pulled a tray in behind him “I thought you might be hungry, you didn’t have chance to eat yesterday” I chucked at him “and as I remember you did have time to eat” remembering the plane journey as he fed of the air hostess, it made me shudder “yes I suppose I have eaten but I still have to eat regular food for the rest of me, I’m still hotter than everyone else” his joke made me chuckle I wanted to keep it hidden but It just slipped out.

                   His eyes lightened and a huge smile formed across his face “I missed that smile, I only thought about you this whole time, just thinking of ways to get back to you again to see that exact smile” but his smile waned as did mine as we came back to what the reality was and he knew deep down, I wouldn’t go without a fight. The worry of that reality formed in his face, but no words were spoken as there was nothing, he could do to prevent what was going to happen.

               I tucked into my breakfast, there was no point in not eating I needed the strength to get out of here. But I wondered If my Jake was still in there, his personality had changed slightly, and his aura was black instead of the sunset glow it once had but maybe just maybe there was a chance, I could bring him back to me, but I didn’t know how deep his conditioning went and whether he even wanted to come back.

               We remained quiet for a sometime while I ate, until I wanted some questions answered, “so what’s the deal with Gray and Mia?” I asked, “in what way?” he replied as he bit down on some pancakes “are they mates?” I was still a little confused by the whole situation “yeah, every wolf has a mate, if they are born or made, if they are strong enough to survive the transformation then I guess it’s a reward” my confusion didn’t ease “but wouldn’t the moon goddess be mad you for creating wolfs?” 

                “She gave us the ability to create more so why would she be mad, yes she made it extremely hard and painful but if you survived then you were worthy of her gift, there is nothing like being completed by your mate” I continued to eat as he explained, “so do you have a mate?” I asked with a hint of jealousy, I didn’t mean it to sound that way but It just came out like that, and I knew he would sense my tone by the smile formed on his face “I guess but I haven’t found her yet, she would need to be someone powerful to compete with me” he chuckled.

                  “So, about Mia and Gray, what did they start with, wolf or their other half’s?” he sighed for a moment knowing my questions wouldn’t end until he answered them “so as I know you already guessed Gray started as a demon and volunteered for the trials, he was one of our masters best warriors and was strong enough to take the wolf but because he was favoured they didn’t push anymore, and as for Mia, she was like a little sister to my master and already being a witch she was the first to be turned into a wolf from that species, my master didn’t want to put her though the pain but she was adamant she wanted to do this for him, he stayed with her during the whole transformation” 

               “How kind” I interrupted with a sarcastic tone “she wanted to do more like me, but he wouldn’t let her and when she met Gray and they were fated mates he didn’t let her out of his sight, my master was so happy they found each other, he held a huge wedding, it was spectacular and a good night” I scoff knowing what he implied, he met a girl no doubt. “he then made them beta of my pack and I didn’t argue as we all had become close by that point, they took care of the pack when I had other duties, when Mia found out she was pregnant we were all overjoyed”

              “So, your master wasn’t interested in the baby?” I asked, this was the first child to be born of multiple species, I wounded what combination he would be “of course he took interest but this was Mia’s baby and he was an uncle, he would never let any harm come to that baby, he wants him to train when he’s older but he would never take him away from Mia” I was still curious if the baby was supernatural at all “so the baby is first of its kind, I’m guessing he will be kept well hidden” 

                “Of course he will be hidden and protected but his first sixteen years will be like any human, he will go to school and get an education and then he will begin his training, we don’t know what species will come through but at the moment he’s a normal human baby, things take time and Mia and Gray will not subject him to any tests to the dismay of some of our masters followers but with him on their side none would dare even touch a hair on his head, what Mia wants she gets” she held so much power here but she was still humble and polite, if she wasn’t on the wrong side I am sure we would have been friends.

              After we had finished talking and eating the time had come to finally meet my captor, once I had idea of who he was I could begin to form a plan to escape. Jake had left me to get ready at least he was still respectful, and I had decided to take a shower and make myself ready for whatever was to be thrown at me, I was ready, I needed to be. I tried my powers once more and I was able to lift the pen sat on my bed side table but that was about it, I even tried to draw electricity from anything but nothing worked, I didn’t even know where to start as I hadn’t had chance to sort things through with Jeremy, I hope they don’t wipe his mind before I get back.    

               It was finally time to begin this ‘meeting’ like it was something I agreed to, they made it sound so inviting when in fact it is just a conversation about my capture and what will happen while I am here. Jake met me at the bottom of the stairs and led me to the car, he mentioned this morning there would be a small drive to our destination but when we arrived a large castle stood before us, it was grand in stature and I was surprised it was still standing as it looks extremely old but it much of been well cared for throughout the years.

               “I know you will be surprised but can you just please hear what he has to say, that’s all I’m asking” I nodded to him, I didn’t want to voice my mind right now as he wouldn’t like the answer, we entered and the castle was full of people. Each turning their head to give me a small glance, but no one lingered for too long, except one girl she glared at me, she was beautiful and had long flowing brunette hair, with pearl white eyes, clearly a demon, I knew what those looks meant, it must be jealousy, and by the way she looked a Jake I soon realised why, I wasn’t here to be anyone’s friend, so her looks never bothered me once, and I moved on holding my head high. but I did wonder if she though we were together.

                 We reached a double door which were similar to the ones Carson had at his castle before it fell, the guards looked hardened and had a permanent scowl on their faces. The door was slowly opened, and my eyes wondered around the room until they finally fell on a tall figure sat in the darkness, the lights brightened and as my eyes adjusted the face before me was one I had seen before, the hair, the eyes and the scar!

 “Marcus?!” 

 “Welcome my dear beautiful Willow, I have been witing for you”
