Rain
After reaching the familiar spot, I called out to Darious who came up after a few seconds in his human form "you can't keep calling me out like a dog, you know" I giggled and hugged him "I just like being with you and talking to you" he smiled down at me , I sighed and he nodded " I knew it, there's something bothering you" my smile fell and I rolled my eyes and sat on the grass "how come everytime I come here you assume that something's bothering me?" he sat next to me and ruffled my already messy hair "because let's face it, when was the last time you came here and were actually happy or excited about something?" I sighed and he patted my back, I jumped and hissed in pain, Darious' face instantly turned serious and he scowled "what's wrong? Why am I smelling blood?" I winced as I leaned forward to ease the pain "that means my wounds have probably opened" I groaned and put my head and arms on my knees, I felt Darious' hand brushing my hair gently "tell me what happened".
When I was finished with the whole story since Cedric and I were attacked all the way till I couldn't sleep and wanted to talk to someone about Zevrus' return and my unknown relationship status, Darious was staring at me with a shocked face, I blinked at him and waited for him to say something, but he remind quiet "well? say something Dee" he blinked and looked confused "hold on, so you're saying that Zevrus is actually alive ? Are you sure it's Zevrus?" I closed my eyes "yes Darious, it is actually Zevrus, he's been alive the whole time" he huffed out a small laugh and shook his head "unbelievable, but how are you feeling anyway?" I opened my eyes and smiled at him "honestly? I can't believe I'm still alive, I mean those claws you guys have are like kitchen knives, but I guess that werewolf didn't cut me deep" Darious ran a hand through his hair "oh Rain, I wish you didn't go through all this shit" I smiled at him sadly "yeah, me too".
Darious and I chatted for an hour about Zevrus and the whole situation, I shivered from cold and pain, Darious, who was wearing a T-shirt and pants like it's midsummer, noticed me shivering and he draped an arm around my shoulder and pulled me close to him, I relished at the heat immating from him "I'm so jealous, you seem to be hot all the time" he chuckled "yeah, I get that alot" I elbowed him "I was talking about your body temperature, you dork" he laughed and hugged me, almost crushing me in the process "you are adorable, sweetcheeks" I laughed "oh my God, stop calling me that!". A sudden loud howl made me jump, a second howl was followed by it and instantly Darious was on his feet with all of his attention focused on the wood line where I came from, I felt a sudden pang in my heart and a feeling of dread came over me, the howling kept getting louder and it sounded like a man screaming at the top of his lungs combined with a wolf's howl, I gasped and scrambled up to my feet, I started to walk towards the wood line, but Darious hand came up to my shoulder "wait! where are you going?" I looked back at him "I have to go back, I feel like something bad is going on" Darious swallowed hard and looked past me towards the direction of the pack area, my eyes widened and I started to panic "what? What is it? What's going on?!" he swallowed hard again and nodded "R.A.Ws".
My blood turned to ice inside my veins, and I instantly turned around and bolted towards the pack area, the sting of pain in my back didn't compare to the fire that I felt in my chest, it felt like my heart was on fire, Darious was following close behind me, I ran and ran with panicked breath and tears rolling down my cheeks until I broke from the tree line and stood in the clearing, facing the worst scene in front of me, black huge vehicles were parked across the clearing, there were blinding light posts all over the place, I saw soldiers wearing all balck and carrying strange big armory while going through the cabins in the area, and in the middle, I saw Cedric- naked in his human form, covered in blood and wounds, his hands were secured behind his back and there was a leash on his neck along with a muzzle on his mouth, he looked furious and I could see his eyes glow, I heard a snarl and saw Zevrus being beaten and kicked by five soldiers, then they secures him the same way they did to Cedric. One soldier had a long rod with a blue light at the tip of it, he stood in front of Cedric then stung him with it, Cedric jerked and screamed, for a second I lost all sanity and screamed "STOP IT!" everything went still, all eyes were on me and I knew that I'm fully exposed now, I heard Darious growl behind me and I slowly turned my hed to the side while my eyes were still fixed on the scene before me "no, Darious, please go back now, please don't come forward" a grunt and a huff came next, I knew he was trying to say no, tears rolled my cheeks "please, I don't want to lose you too" a few seconds later there was another huff and then I heard him going through the thick bushes and trees away from me.
I turned my head back to face the crowd of soldiers, one soldier came up to me , I scowled at him "let them go, all of them, now" the soldier looked back at the others and then back at me, one of the soldiers pulled out a strange device, it looked like a grammy award, but it had two small satellite dishes, he clicked it and I heard nothing, but Cedric, Zevrus and the others went crazy, screams of agony filled the air, I panicked and shouted at him "no! what are you doing to them?!" the soldier looked back at the one holding the device and signaled for him to stop, when he did everyone went quiet again but I could see they were exhausted, glaring at the soldier in front of me I took a step forward but he blocked me "you're human" he nodded and shouted to a soldier on the side "cuff her and put her in one of the cars- we're taking her in" Zevrus' voice came up "the fuck you are! let her go! she's not a werewolf!" a soldier gave him a blow with the back of his rifle, I jumped and turned to the soldier in front of me "stop hurting them!", he cocked his head to the side, then his hand came up and slapped me hard across the face, I cried out and fell to the ground, various visions growls and snarls erupted around me, the soldier grunted "that's interesting", he grabbed my arm and lifted me up to my feet, I found my footing and shoved him on the chest, but he didn't budge, instead he grabbed me by the hair and called for one of the others "private! put her to sleep with a reduced amount of sedative", when the soldier came up with the needle I lifted my leg and kicked him , he stumbled back and the needle fell, the soldier holding me bend down and grabbed it, I tried desperately to fight back while Zevrus and Cedric called my name, but the soldier secured my shoulders with one arm, I clawed at his arm but he didn't seem to be fazed, he yelled "wrap it up, take everyone and drive back to the base!" I watched everyone being pulled and dragged to the vehicles, Cedric and Zevrus tried to fight back but they were teased and beaten till they finally got into the secured vehicles and driven away, I sniffed and my tears streamed down my face, I felt a sharp pain in my neck and my vision started to blur, my legs turned to jelly and my weight was supported by the soldier holding me, the last thing I remember was a white flash and a set of Icy blue eyes charging my way.
