*Stacey's POV*
As I woke up to get ready for school I had already decided what the plan was it would just be a matter of trying to convince Nikki which can be tricky especially without some kind of proof so I decided that after eating breakfast I would head over to the pack hospital to try to get a copy of her records in order to prove to Nikki that she should NOT be helping Nick with what he has planned. I headed over to the hospital which I was thankful that there really wasn't anyone here this early in the morning before heading to the office to search through the file cabinets.
Usually the medical charts are filed in alphabetical order but for some reason hers was separate although it may just be because of the nature of her injuries or that she hadn't officially joined this pack yet but regardless I did find them then I went to copy everything in her chart. I was trying to be as quick as possible & just as the last paper was finished I could hear the pack doctor down the hall sounding like she was heading this way so just as it finished I folded them up and quickly shoved them in my bag before I could hear her at the door then I rushed to sit in the chair in front of her desk.
She looked surprised when she opened the door as I was sitting in the chair before she asked if everything was ok which I told her that I was fine but asked if could use some help over the weekends and that I was taking an interest in helping people which she was taken back then had a smile on her face before telling me that it would be wonderful to have an extra pair of hands and didn't realize that I was interested in it, well I had to come up with something convincing to tell her so she doesn't get suspicious of why I was in here.
I got into my car so I read over her records at least to get a glimpse of what Sam had already told me although I know he left some things out. I was completely shocked I couldn't believe what I was reading, I mean yeah everything Sam told me was in here but as I kept reading I had tears in my eyes because the things he didn't mention was the fact that she had several injuries pointing towards long time abuse and not only did she get brutally raped which I had already figured but the person that did it carved "whore" into her stomach with a silver knife of course leaving a scar that would probably never go away along with that she was in a coma for about a week. Once I finished reading everything I couldn't stop the tears from coming just thinking about what she went through and still have the capacity to be kind & thoughtful.
I put the papers back into my bag and headed to school determined to talk to Nikki to convince her not to help him especially since it's Friday so I'm hoping she'll back out of the plan. Once I got there I went straight to my locker to put my things away while waiting for Nikki like we normally do but when the bell rang for me to get to class I started panicking then thought maybe she was already there which of course she wasn't. As the day progressed I started getting anxious that Nikki wasn't in school today so I tried calling & texting her with no success, I continued to get a hold of her throughout the day but nothing then I just started praying that she wasn't gonna go through with the plan.
At this point since I wasn't having any luck I tried to talk to Xavier or Sam to let them know but unfortunately I couldn't find them either then I thought maybe they're here but in a meeting or something so I guess I'll just have to wait. I waited for a few minutes after each class in hopes to see at least one of them but it wasn't until the end of the day that I finally saw Xavier and his friends. As I started to approach them I could tell they looked rather worried searching the area, I slowly walked up to them trying not to show my concern & asked if they saw Taylor then they looked over at me with confusion written all over their faces and said that she was heading over to Nikki���s house but with the confused look on my face they just looked back at each other.
They stated we thought you knew since she told Taylor that there would be a few of her friends there so we thought that would've included you all in unison, I just looked at them & said "no I had no idea, Nikki didn't tell me anything!" when all of a sudden Xavier said OH S**T!! I got up enough courage to tell them about everything with meeting that guy Nick and what he was planning but also told them that I have been trying to convince Nikki to go along with it since I had a really bad feeling then finding out a little about the attack she went through so I wanted to help in any way I possibly could. They were skeptical at first until Sam spoke up to tell them that he told me a little of the attack and I'm pretty sure they could tell that I was telling the truth, I also told them that I overheard Nikki telling Nick about a place to bring her.
We all took off hoping that Nikki didn't go through with it & that Taylor was actually at her house, we raced there in our wolf forms seeing as it was faster while tying our clothes to our flanks, as we reached Nikki's there wasn't anyone in the house or outside but Xavier said that he caught Taylor's scent and that's when we realized that we had to hurry.
*Nikki's POV*
All I kept thinking about last night was what Hailey told me about Taylor before telling myself that she deserved it and that I should be Luna not her but I just couldn't stop going back to what Nick had said on the phone when he thought I hung. I had a difficult time sleeping then of course I slept right through my alarm for school so I decided to skip as I was trying to decide if I should go through with it or not, when I checked the time I noticed that Stacey had tried calling & texted all throughout the day.
I finally listened to her voicemails and read the texts, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. She was actually trying to convince me not to go through with it telling me that Taylor was brutally attacked & that the person who did it not only raped her but carved the word "whore" onto her stomach, she also said that she almost didn't make it but survived then was in a coma for a week. I was soo pissed off when I finished hearing and reading it just thinking that she's supposed to be MY best friend but just because she's Taylor's best friend's mate that she was turning on me...WTF!
I heard from Nick at noon making sure the plan was still a go which I told him yeah before pausing then asking what he had planned for her where he just told me not to worry about it but when I asked again he said "it's none of your F**KING business so I just dropped it for now. I was trying to keep myself occupied with other things so as to not think about what was going to happen along with getting pissed off at Stacey for her betrayal which worked until it was getting close to the time when Taylor would arrive.
Nick arrived ten minutes before Taylor was set to & hid in the closet close by in order to be able to hear her come in along with everything we say or rather me since I have a feeling he figured that I would warn her to run. When Taylor arrived I started getting really nervous but was determined not to show it so I answered the door with a smile on my face inviting her in, she looked around & said that I had a nice place (which lets be honest pretty much everyone says that) asking where everyone else was, I just told her that she's the first to arrive but everyone else should be there very soon then told her where the bathroom was if she wanted to freshen up. She headed to the bathroom and when she was coming back down the hall I saw the closet door opening then Nick was behind her shoving a syringe in her neck, she looked at him with her eyes big looking scared before looking back at me asking why with her eyes then collapsing on the floor.
I was shocked and when I got up enough courage I asked "what did you give her & what do you plan to do with her?" He just laughed and looked at me telling me "I have very BIG plans for her but nothing for you to worry your pretty little head about. This what you wanted wasn't it, so you can have the alpha all to yourself & her out of the way?" I was really scared at this point seeing how he was acting while I looked at Taylor noticing that she was still awake but just couldn't move at all, when Nick saw this he said "damn it, this is why I don't have she-wolves help me! If you say anything to ANYONE then I'll do the same thing to you that I will be doing to her!" Of course hearing that just scared me even more then I asked myself what the hell did I just do but before I could reply he punched me in the face knocking me out.
