Rediscovered

Chapter 20

Jake's POV

I woke to the sun shining through the window and the smell of Mar enveloping me. I turn to the side and see her still sleeping. She is so beautiful even with her hair disheveled and a little drool running down her cheek. I lay there staring at her as I think about our run last night. Her wolf is just as beautiful as her and a wonderfully fast runner. We had a lot of fun and part of me wishes it hadn't ended.

She mentioned having a talk, and usually when she says that it doesn't tend to end well. We have had a lot of crap happen recently and I wish things were different. The way she just came back into my life must have been fate and I am so grateful, but I wish the tension and life threatening dangers would stop. I want to take her on a real date and have a normal relationship with her. The sooner we get the other bullshit out of the way the sooner we can enjoy our life together.

I try to gently move the hair away from her face and she starts to stir. I want to kiss her so bad, her lips are slightly apart and calling me. I lean in and softly place a kiss on the corner of her mouth. She quickly snaps her eyes open and looks at me in surprise.

"Good morning." I whisper.

"Mhm Good morning it is." She said with a small smile. Then she suddenly frowned and scrunched her brows as if in deep thought.

"We need to talk."

"Can it wait until after breakfast?" I ask.

"No, we need to start planning." She sighed before sitting up and continuing "My 'parents' called me the other day to invite me to dinner. Now that I know who they are I think it would be best to set a trap for them."

I look at her surprised, then scrunch my own brows as I think of what she said.

"When is the dinner?"

She hesitated a moment, "Tonight."

I let out a long breath and rubbed my face, so much for spending the day alone with her, but this is important and if we succeed in catching them it would end all this mess sooner. I quickly stand and start to get dressed.

"Come on, I will gather everyone and we can start on the plan. Meet me in the office, okay."

"I will be right there." She said as she stood and headed for the closet to get changed.

Jessica's P.O.V. (A few weeks ago)

Its been a while since I last talked to Mar and I am worried about her. I have tried to call her phone many times but it seems to have been shut off. I am pulling double shifts at work and haven't had the time to drive over to her place and check on her.

I am about to leave work when a nice couple comes in.

"I'm sorry but we are about to close." I tell them and they just smile.

"You look just like our little girl." The woman states.

"What is your name dear?" The guy asks.

"My name is Jessica, is there anything I can help you with?" I say looking between the two of them.

"Such a lovely name, and as a matter of fact there is. We unfortunately have gotten a flat tire and need some help. Is there anyone who could help us?" The guy says.

"I am the only one here, let me lock up and I can see what I can do." They smile and turn to leave. I finish up my work and lock the door behind me. As I am turning around to find the couple, I get hit on the head and everything goes black.

I wake to the sound of a faucet dripping and a squeaky noise. I am sitting in a hard chair and my arms and legs are tied up. I oped my eyes and allow them to adjust, quickly I wish I hadn't opened them. All around me there are rats and piles of bodies. I start to scream and hear a door open and shut before something is shoved into my mouth.

"Now now dear, I know it is quite a sight to wake to but let's not be to loud." I heard the guy say.

I look up to see him smiling and his teeth are pointed and sharp looking. He looks scary and dangerous. I try to get away but my efforts are pointless.

"mha bo wo wam" Was all I could manage to say through the gag in my mouth.

"Stop mumbling I can't understand you and I won't tolerate any sass." He said as he started to pace the room.

"I want to know where my daughter is hiding." He said with so much rage I could see him shaking with anger.

"Who?" I asked after he took the gag out.

"My daughter Marlene! I know you know her, and I want to know where she is!" He yelled.

"I haven't seen her in a while myself, is she okay?"

"Ugh! you are useless!" He said before leaving the room and slamming the door behind him. I could hear him yelling at someone through the door.

"Do what you want with her, either kill her or faze her for your pleasure I dont care! and I want my daughter found NOW!" He said and I felt the blood leave my face. Im going to die, was all I thought before the door opened again, and I knew what ever is about to happened to me is not going to be good.

Marlene's P.O.V (present day)

It took three hours to come up with a plan to catch my 'parents' but we did it. We have three plans and depending on what happens will determine what plan we will be using.

Everyone is now sitting at the table eating lunch when I hear my phone go off.

There was no call, just a voicemail that was left.

"Huh that's new," I whisper to myself. I pull the phone to my ear and listen. It was Jessica's voice but it sounded different. She wasn't her typical bubbly self, but rather she sounds sad and conflicted.

"I would like to let you know, I am coming into town with your parents tonight. don't be late......" Was all she said before hanging up. What is going on?
