Chapter 135
When I saw her. I burst into tears again as she held me close to her body slowly rubbing my back and whispering soothing words into my ears. “I was so scared, Fay. I thought he was going to rape me, I thought he was going to do it”. At the mention of rape, she pulled back from me in shock.
“He wasn’t in control, his wolf was and if I had not used my powers to throw him back, he’d have forced himself on me”, I sobbed out. When I finished speaking, she pulled me back to her chest and rubbed my back.
I could hear her silence. It was so loud and I could sense her thoughts running a thousand miles per hour but I could not figure out what she was thinking.
“Why are you so silent?”, I eventually asked her. She looked at me and said, “tonight, I’m going to make sure that I do everything within my power to make sure that you escape and then bring all these people down”, she said with so much determination and conviction that I was sure that nothing was going to stop her. Not even her life on the line.
She raised me from the floor and tucked me into bed, gently patting my back until she thought I was asleep. I knew she stayed there for a while because I wasn’t actually sleeping, I just evened out my breathing so she would think I was.
When she eventually left, I sat up and said a prayer to the moon goddess to make tonight a very successful night for us.
For the rest of the day I did not see Damon because I locked myself up in my room. Fay brought food for me to eat at some point because according to her, I would need the power to run when it’s night time. Apart from that the rest of the day was uneventful.
Soon it was time to put our plan into actions. We left the room like we were going for a walk and went towards the door that was supposed to lead us out of the pack. When we reached the door, Fay kept looking around while I gently opened it but of course luck wasn’t on our side and a guard saw us open the door.
Apparently, everybody knew where that door led to and the guard raised an alarm. I hurriedly opened the door and tried to pull Fay along with me so we could run but she refused to move. With tears in her eyes, she looked at me.
“What are you doing?” I asked her but she did not answer me. “We need to leave, Fay. We need to leave now before they get here!!”, I screamed at her with tears in my eyes but she did not answer me again, she only looked at me with tearful eyes and smiled sadly.
“I knew only one of us would be able to go and I knew the price I was going to be pay if we ever got caught”, she said as she smiled through her tears. “Go,go now and save everyone.Remember”, she hiccuped, “remember the price I paid,make sure that they all pay for their sins”. And with that she closed the door.
I stood for a while contemplating if I should do anything to take her with me or make a run for it. I did the latter eventually. I ran without stopping. I did not stop even when I heard screams of agony. I did not stop when I finally felt myself breaking out of the magical barrier. I didn’t stop even when I was sure I wasn’t going to be captured again.
I didn’t stop.
