The Hybrid

Chapter 6

I had no idea how long it had been. I had no idea how I had been her for. I had no idea when I last fed. All I knew was that I was hungry and lonely.

My clothes were sticky from my dry blood, my hair felt like a mess and I was in serious need of a shower.

I hadn’t seen Joseph or Richard in what felt like forever; however I had smelt Joseph out side of the door a couple of times but I think it was just to watch my heart rate to make sure I didn’t die before he learnt everything about me.

To be honest, I think it was his smell that kept me sane.

My bones cracked every time I slightly moved causing pain all through my body, my mouth and lips were dry and my head and eyes were feeling to heavy to hold.

The move time went on, the more weaker I got.

It crossed my mind many times if King Derek would come for me. If my clan would come for me.

I have been gone for days, if not for weeks and no one had come to save me. I was feeling really lovely because of this.

But not once, did I cry. I would not cry.

“Elizabeth” his soft voice knocked me back into reality as I felt soft hands on my cheeks. “Joseph” I breathed out keeping my eyes closed.

“I need you to put all your weight on me as I unchain you” he said while putting his arms around my waist. I could smell someone else in the room but I was way too weak to open my eyes and look.

I felt them untie the chains from my wrist and I felt like I was about to crash onto the floor when Joseph picked me up bridal style. I rested my head on his chest as he walked to who knows where.

He sat me on what seemed like bench “Elizabeth, can you open your eyes?” He questioned as I slowly shook my head.

“I am going to put you in a bath and clean you up abit but in order to do so, I am going to have to undress you. Are you ok with that?” I was to tired and weak to fight him so I didn’t say anything before he slowly grabbed the end of my shirt and lifted it over my head.

He undid my jeans and slowly sliding them down my legs as well as my g-string. I sat completely naked on the bench and not a care in the world.

His hands were around my bear waist and I was back in his arms.

“I am going to sit you in the bath now Elizabeth” his voice sounded so caring. As soon as the water hit my toes, I hissed in pain but he still continued to slowly sitting me in the bath and leaning my back against a pillow.

I felt his hands all over me but it wasn’t in a seductive way, it was more in a caring and cleaning way. He rubbed body wash all over my body and I even felt him washing my hair. I heard him mutter things like “beautiful”, “f**k” and “who did this to you” but I don’t think he was talking to me.

Once he was done, he lifted me out of the bath and sat me on the bench and dried me with the towel. This was all pretty much like an outa body experience.

The next thing I knew, I was sitting on the floor getting chains put around my wrist. I was just glad that these chains were long enough that I could sit and also connected to a wall so I could lean against it.

“Here” his voice sounded rough as he wiped a finger over my lips, my noise had picked up that it was blood so I used any big of strength left to get my tongue to lick my lips. I moaned as the blood came into my mouth.

I slowly opened my eyes as a bit of my strength had came back, not much but abit. I looked down to see I was wearing another singlet and jeans but these weren’t the ones I was wearing before as mine were wrecked from the bullets.

Looking up then to see Joseph sitting down on a chair in front of me with his elbows resting on his knees, he looked like a mess, like he hadn’t slept in days.

We stared at each other for a long time until he spoke up “how are you feeling?” He questioned “I have had better days” I gave him a small smirk.

“By the looks of the scars on your body, I don’t think you have had many” when I didn’t reply, he grunted “don’t you get it? We can help you if you just f*****g talk!”

I winced knowing he was using his dominant voice to try to get me to submit.

“What makes you think I need help? The only help I need is getting away from you” I spat at him.

“No one is coming for you Elizabeth if that’s what you are waiting for” his words stung me, they would come... wouldn’t they? I am there lucky charm!!

We sat in quiet for a short time and the one drop of blood he gave me was slowly warming off.

He abruptly got up and went to walk out “wait!” He stopped dead in his tracks but did not turn to look at me.

“My name.... is Princess Elizabeth of the NightBlood Clan” I whispered knowing he would be able to hear me “please don’t go” I knew if he left, his scent would go with him and that was the only thing keeping me sane.

He slowly turned around to look at me. “I am their lucky charm”, “what do you mean by that?” His eyes felt like they were burning a hole in my skull.

“Enough about me, why do I feel like your scent is keeping me sane?” I butted in. He slowly walked towards me, like he was stalking his pray and he kneeled in front of me “do you feel this pull between us? We are mates Elizabeth”.
