Chereads / Rose's Violet / Chapter 23 - The Spark

Chapter 23 - The Spark

Coltons Pov:

I wake up to the taste of iron. It take everything in me to clear my vision to see where I am. The last thing I remember was kissing my mate goodbye and walking home before some goons grabbed me and then I remember something stabbing what I assume to be a needle in my neck. That's how I ended up here. Well where ever here is. After awhile my eyes were able to focus and i was able to look around the room. It was an old wood shack. There is no way anyone lives here now but it's clear based of the broken and dusty furniture someone once lived here. When my sense started returning I finally felt the burning on my chest and wrist. Whoever took me strapped me down with silver chains. I don't even understand why someone would want anything to do with me.

"Have you started to ask why you are here yet? Oooh that's always my favorite part." I heard someone snickering like a mad man.

"Who's there?" I yelled.

"Please not The Who are you? What do you want with me? Why me? No no let be original! Let's be inspiring! Ask me something else."

This man came closer and I was able to get a better look. Her was y'all and very slender. The man had only one eye and was completely bald.

"Ok what would you like me to ask you then?"

"THEY ALL ASK THE SAME QUESTIONS! No fun no fair too predictable to boring! Doesn't make a good ending." He got up and began sorting through his table organizing what I assume to be his torture weapons.

Ending? Predicable? Is this mad man making a movie!?

"What's your movie called?" The bald man stopped setting out his knives and turned around and gave me the creepiest smile that I'm sure will haunt me.

"The slaughter princess! Isn't it wonderful?"

"Ok so what is my role?" He must be used to screaming victims who haven't gotten him because with each question he become more and more excited.

"That's the beauty of it! You are the most important person."

I was getting confused "me?"

"Yes yes yes! You are my spark!" He shouts as he starts clapping his hand.

"What does that mean?"

The bald man started tapping his finger to his mouth. "You are the reason my story will become complete. Without you everything is a stalemate! You are my extra push to finish my story!"

"Exactly how are you planning to end you story mister...?"

"Oh yes my name is sparky! And I will tell you since you don't get to see it play out but just know you are my favorite spark I have ever casted! This story might be some of my best work."

He begins fiddling with some other thing again and I can hear him talking to himself.

"Sparky how does it end?"

That seemed to bring him back down from whatever manic episode he was starting.

"Well the princess gets back her crown to become queen again and gets the king! Oh and kills everyone to add sprinkles to her revenge."

"Can I ask how does she plan to do that?"

He started doing his laugh again "you don't see it? How can you not it's sooo obvious! I mean come on it's classic text book. They agree to marry the princess in exchange for help but they don't know that the help is us and once they do every last baby will have already taken their last scream!"

"Who is ya sparky?"

He paused for a moment "the misfits. The unloved. The reject."

"The rogues"

Sparky scrunched up his nose" I don't like that term I prefer alternative wolves. When people say rogues make me sad like I'm supposed to be mad or crazy or something. I just want to be the greatest director of all time."

"What about you sparky what do you get. How does this make you a great director?"

Sparky sighed and he took a step towards me once more before he whispered. "I get to finish the script that I never got to finish and finally tell the greatest story ever told."

"What do you mean finish sparky? How long have you been writing this story?"

Sparky walked away and went back to playing with his knives and all I can hear is him mumbling some song.

"20 years time. 20 years two. The time is near for me and you. If we run if we scream we all with die from the slaughter queen."

I'm trying to open my mind link but it seems as though something is masking it. I am trying to keep calm and not to panic like my dad taught me but all my thought keep drifting back to my mom. Was she this scared moment before she knew she was about to die. What were her last thought?

The pain is becoming almost unbearable and so I did the only thing I thought I could I let my eyes close and let my mind wander to the thought of my mom.

Liza Pov:

I'm running though the forest setting the crystals in all the spots Cel told me to. My bag was running dry and I only had two left. I was really praying that this worked because if it doesn't then I don't know how else I'm going to find my son. We needed to hurry there were only 2 days left before the blood moon and my time was running out. I reached the last spot cel said to go to and set the crystals down. After that I mind linked Cel to tell her I was finish and figure out where everyone else was.

Violet and Liam were both done and just as cel said she was finished I saw a blue light come from the crystal I had just laid. As I followed it I realized it was connecting with the other. The spell must be working. I run to the Rendezvous point that we agreed upon and saw everyone waiting for me.

"Is it working?" I looked at Cel as she smiled.

"Yes it is we need to head back to the pack house and I can search for him on my map. It should be pretty easy to find him especially now that we can use the twin bond."

We all nodded and sprinted towards the pack house. Everyone ran up to Cels office but I decided to make a detour and tell my mates that we had a way to find Colton. I busted in the door and saw Cole and Zeke sitting across from eachother in silence.

"Guys I have good news!"

Cole looked up at me just as Zeke lowered his head.

"Liza we were just coming to find you."

Cole spoke and Zeke began crying harder.

"What's going on?" I asked as I took a step back. Something doesn't feel right.

" our son is the most important thing to us and we can't lose him. His mother would never forgive us and we would never forgive ourselves."

"I know that why...." Cole cut me off again.

"That is why we had to do what we must."

I was almost afraid to hear it.

"What did you do?" My attention was focused on Zeke Because in this entire time he hadn't looked at me.

"We agreed to the terms of the princess and both of us signed a contract of marriage."

"YOU WHAT!" Everything was becoming a blur.

"The princess also said you threatened her and requested that you be transferred back to your old back. I spoke with the Alpha and they will give you your position and home back no question asked."

"You can't be serious." I felt my blood start to boil.

"I'm sorry my love." Was all I heard Zeke whisper.

"Can I atleast stay to make sure Colton is home safe?"

"I'm sorry the princess won't send help until she know later you are gone."

"I understand" I gave a nod and mind linked Zeke.

"Meet me in rose library now it's urgent trust me."

With that I walked out and headed straight for my library. It felt like I was waiting there for hours but I knew it had only been about 15 min. I wasn't sure he was going to come but just as I was about to lose faith there he was behind me.

"Liza I'm so sorry!" He ran to me and began kissing me everywhere. I had to push him off as much as I loved his touch this wasn't the time.

"I need you trust me. We found a way to find Colton. I need you to make everyone think I left ok. Whatever you do don't trust the princess. All will be revealed ok?"

" I don't understand Liza the princess is sending her army to help us."

"Trust me Zeke she's sending an army but it's not to help."

"None of this makes sense Liza. If rose was here she would know what to do."

I had to do something to make him listen we didn't have time. I didn't care about the consequences.

"I don't think any of the women in you life that you have loved have ever made sense my beast." His eyes widened. In our past life our inside joke was always beauty and the beast references. I didn't have time to explain but I was hoping he would get the feeling that I was here. I ran out of the room to Cels office and told her everything that was going on. After I finished I heard her scrolling crystal drop.

We found him.

I looked at the location and was in shock. Of course She hid him where it all began.

Time to pay a visit to Veronicas old house.
