Chereads / On The Run / Chapter 8 - The Truth

Chapter 8 - The Truth

I've been held captive by Jamison and the others for quite awhile now, I don't even know what day it is by this point. All I know is that I don't have any chance of escaping this horrid place that smelled of blood, silver, wolfsbane and the horrid incense that is making my connection with Daxon impossible. They chained me to the wall now since I attacked a few of the hunters that were changing things out in my cell.

"God dammit I need him badly." I mutter to myself, pulling against the metal cuffs to no avail.

The door lock was being messed with, soon the door opened and a figure stepped in before shutting the door behind them, the figure stepped into the light and I could see them clearly.

"I only have a few minutes Wolfy, you can trust me. I'm not the bad guy, Jamison is. The truth will come soon." She whispers before sliding something into my hand and slipping her way out without being seen.

I hide whatever it was in the palm of my hand while I sat there for hours on end, thoughts running through my head about what she said, I didn't know what she meant by, the truth will come soon but I wanted to know badly about what she meant. Once everyone was asleep and they did their final rounds I started to pick the lock on my cuffs, I got out and snuck my way outside. I ran through the woods and kept running, not looking back at all.

—A Few Months Later—

Its been a few months since I last saw Jamison and the others, maybe they stopped looking for me, maybe they stopped caring. Whatever happened, I'm glad because I'm not looking over my shoulder anymore, I was in class talking to Wren and Hunter when I get a phone call. I looked down and saw who it was, I got up from my seat as I answered. "what do you want." I say, not wanting to deal with any of them right now.

"Jason, we need to talk. Meet me at the park." She says before hanging up. I guess I should give her a chance since she did save me and all from that place.

I walked to my car and got in, starting it I drove down the road towards the park that we last talked at, this time I was gonna keep my guard up and not take any chances with anything at this point, I didn't want to end up dead or kidnapped again. "Alright Dax, keep an eye and ear out for me while I'm there will you? I can't risk being caught again." I nod at his response before I got out of my car when I got there.

I walked over to Hope when I saw that she was alone and obviously nervous about something. "What is it you want to talk about?" I asked as I crossed my arms and looked at her

"Jason, we need to talk. You know I didn't want to betray you like that right? I didn't know what else to do. Jamison was telling me a lot, saying of I do this, this and this he'll bring my siblings back....you gotta believe me. My siblings meant so much to me." She says, looking at me

I shake my head as I looked at her, listening to her rambling on and on about how she wanted her siblings back and that Jamison promised to bring them back if she did horrid things for him. "Hope, listen to me. Your siblings are dead. You can't bring them back no matter how much you want to and how much you try. They are gone. You can thank Jamison and them for taking them from you. hunters took my sister and parents from me. They meant the damn world to me. I would do fucking anything to bring them back. But I can't. Its impossible to bring back the dead. That's the cold hard truth. They're gone." I say as I look at her, sympathy in my eyes, knowing how she felt right now.

Hope shook her head while tears welled up in her eyes,the realization hitting her before she shifted to her coyote and she ran off before I could stop her.

"Hope! Wait, you don't want to do this! Trust me!" I call out as she kept on running, she was broken.....I could see it in her eyes before she ran off. She needs someone to help her through this pain, someone who knows it. And that someone is me. I need to find her, before its too late. I help her back to her normal self again, Then we go on the run.
