CAPTURED BY THE ENEMY

I COULDN'T SHUT OUT THE SCREAMS. DARKNESS SURROUNDED ME. A TERRIBLE PAIN IN MY CHEST, MAKING ME STRUGGLE TO BREATHE, AS I FEEL MYSELF DROWNING IN MY BLOOD. THE SCREAMING HAD STOPPED. THE ROOM FLOODED WITH SILENCE AND I SWALLOWED PAINFULLY REALIZING THE SCREAMS WERE MY OWN. I LAY THERE FEELING MY CHEST AND NOTICING THE SHIRT I HAD OWN WASN'T THE ONE I HAD BEEN WEARING WHEN EVERYTHING HAPPENED. A BLUR OF IMAGES CAME TO MIND. I SLIPPED IN AND OUT OF CONSCIOSNESS AND WHEN I WOKE, I WAS IN A STRANGE ROOM NOT KNOWING WHERE I AM. I WAS ALONE ATLEAST FOR NOW. MY EYES ADJUSTED TO THE LIGHT AND I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE I WAS AND HOW TO ESCAPE THIS NIGHTMARE. I FOUND A DOOR ON ONE SIDE OF THE ROOM. I STRUGGLED TO GET UP AND SEE IF IT WAS LOCKED. ONCE ON MY FEET I FELT BETTER, HOPEFULLY IT WASN'T LOCKED. JUST AS I GOT MY HAND ON THE HANDLE, I HEARD FOOTSTEPS COMING. THIS COULDNT BE GOOD. I BARELY MADE IT BACK TO THE BED WHEN THE DOOR SWUNG OPEN. I HAVE SEEN THIS MAN BEFORE.HIS NAME WAS JONAH. HE HAD LONG BLONDE HAIR, HIS BODY WAS CHISELED, HIS EYES GREEN AND LOOKING AT ME. HE WAS THE TEAM LEADER IN ONE OF THE ENEMY PACKS. HE CAME STRAIGHT AT ME. I WASNT SURE IF HE WANTED TO FIGHT SO I TURNED TO MY WOLF FORM TRYING TO BE READY. I HUNCHED DOWN READY TO POUNCE. MY MUSCLES STILL WEAK, WANTED TO QUIVER AND GIVE UP BUT I HAD TO LEAVE THIS ROOM. '' YOU DON'T WANNA DO THAT'' HE SAID AS I GROWLED AT HIM. I'M AN ALPHA SHE-WOLF I COULD GET PAST HIM EASILY WHEN AT MY FULL STRENGHT. '' EVEN IF YOU GET PAST ME, I HAVE A LOT MORE MEN POSTED INSIDE AND OUT'' HE SAID. I SHIFT BACK TO ASK '' HOW DO YOU KNOW ME? AND WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH ME?'' I ASKED. I HAD LOTS OF QUESTIONS AND THE LOOK ON HIS FACE TELLS ME HE DOESNT WANT TO PLAY Q & A ALL DAY. '' NOONE WANTS TO HURT YOU'' HE SAYS CALMLY. I CALM DOWN A LITTLE. I STILL DON'T KNOW IF I CAN TRUST THIS GUY OR NOT. I COULDN'T AFFORD TO SHOW ANY WEAKNESS WITH HIM. ''WHERE IS MY BOYFRIEND, EMMETT?" I ASKED WORRIEDLY. EMMETT WAS SO SWEET. HE ALWAYS TRIED TO HELP LOOK OUT FOR ME EVEN THOUGH I WAS THE ONE WITH ALPHA BLOOD IN MY VEINS. HE IS TALL WITH BLACK HAIR, BROWN EYES AND THE MOST PERFECT LIPS. WE HAD BEEN SEEING EACH OTHER FOR A WHILE NOW AND HE WAS WITH ME WHEN THESE GOONS KNOCKED ME OUT AND CAPTURED ME. I BALLED MY FISTS IN ANGER JUST THINKING ABOUT WHAT THEY MAY HAVE DONE TO HIM. '' HE'S SAFE FOR NOW'' SAID JONAH AMUSED. I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE MEANT BY THAT BUT HIS DEMEANER WAS TOO CONFIDENT FOR IT TO MEAN ANYTHING GOOD. '' IF YOU'LL AGREE WITH ME ON SOME THINGS I'LL LET YOU SEE HIM'' SAID JONAH. '' AN AGREEMENT?'' I ASKED CONFUSED. '' YES'' HE SAID AS HE TRIED TO TAKE A STEP TOWARD ME. I DID'T BACK AWAY. I COULDN'T SHOW WEAKNESS TO HIM. HE SMIRKED AT ME, AND I DIDN'T SMELL FEAR ON HIM. HE WAS BEING MORE SINCERE WITH HIS WORDS NOW. ''WE NEED YOU, AMELIA.'' NOW I'M MORE CONFUSED. WHAT COULD HE POSSIBLY NEED WITH ME? " WHO IS WE? AND WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM ME?" I ASKED. I WASN'T ANGRY NOW BUT I STILL KEPT MY GUARD UP. I WAS STILL AN ALPHA AND HE NEEDED TO SEE THAT. " MY PEOPLE ALL NEED YOU" HE SAID POINTING TO WHOEVER WAS WAITING IN OTHER PARTS OF THE HOUSE AND OUTSIDE. "I'M THE HEAD OF A TEAM THAT RUNS OPERATIONS IN THE RED WOLF PACK" HE SAID ANXIOUSLY. "MY TEAM ISN'T THE ONLY TEAM THAT NEEDS YOUR HELP THOUGH, WE ALL DO" HE SAID NOW PACING AROUND THE ROOM. " I CROSSED MY ARMS OVER MY CHEST SO HE WOULD'T SEE ME SHUDDER."THERE IS A WAR AND ONLY YOU CAN END IT." THIS WAR WAS THE ONE I'VE BEEN TRAINING FOR MY WHOLE LIFE. I FEEL IT IN MY ALPHA BLOOD." WE NEED YOU TO JOIN US AMELIA" HE SAID AS I THOUGHT ABOUT ALL THE FIGHTING THAT WAS TO COME.I WAS BARELY HEARING ANYTHING HE WAS SAYING NOW. ALL MY THOUGHTS LEAD TO ME FIGHTING IN THIS WAR AND SAVING EMMETT. I WOULD DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO SAVE HIM! EVEN IF IT MEANT WORKING WITH MY ENEMY TO FIGHT THIS WAR... THE WITCHES' WAR.
