Chereads / Wolves and ghosts / Chapter 20 - Stupidity seems contagious

Chapter 20 - Stupidity seems contagious

I keep staring at Nick, is this guy an idiot? I saved him from Blacky twice already, I don't think I want to do it a third time.

I have to thank Blacky though, the only reason I woke up is because he shouted at me 'The idiot is in your room!'. I move my head and finally notice Dylan, why is he helping him? Because they're friends? Maybe its because he has been close to Nick for a long time…. Stupidity seems contagious.

"sssshhhh" Nick says in a tender voice. I tilt my head; does he think I'm going to shut up in this situation?

They both start walking closer, I look down to see if the wolf is trying to stop him but I think I had my hopes way too high, the wolf seems happy and excited. He's hurrying Nick, that's a shame, I thought the wolf was better than this.

"Please, I don't like to repeat myself, but I will make an exception just this once. Don't do anything stupid and you will get out of here in one piece" I try to warn them again but they only smirk.

I sigh and shake my head slowly. Poor idiots. Should I get them kill? They're really not helping their survival. I hear the windows shake and I notice they do so too, I smile a little, I hope this doesn't end up bloody.

One window opens abruptly, and the air starts flowing inside the room. "What the fuck!?" I hear Dylan shout and I see how he's falling to the ground, unable to get up but just like that the movement stop, and Dylan gets up.

I turn to look at Blacky to see why he stopped when I notice his face… he has no features, but I can tell what faces his making. He looks in pain and I start feeling fear. Is he hurt? What is wrong with him? Is he safe? "Are you ok? Can I help you?" I say out loud. I don't care I'm not alone.

My dearest friend is hurting, that's the only thing I care about right now. "Allie! Listen to me! One week! I'll be back in one week! Don't let them hurt you! The chains are coming, I need to take care of that!" Blacky shouts while he starts to fade away "Resist! I'll be back!".

I immediately understand what he's saying. Once or twice a year Blacky has to deal with the white and golden chains. I know he was not a good person when he was alive, but I'm someone who judges what she sees and lives and for as long as I've known him, he has been nothing more than a loving grumpy grandpa. I love him and I hope he stays safe.

There's only one problem, this happened at the worse timing possible. I look at Nick and Dylan again, they look confused "You're lucky, really lucky. Apparently, you will stay alive for one more week" I say calmly.

Fighting them myself is pointless, they're massive people and I'm 5'1". If I fight them, I will only tire myself. I rather go with them now and escape later.

Nick clenches his jaw and starts walking toward me again. He takes a white cloth, and I can smell the chloroform from here. I look up at him confused. Is he trying to drug me? I already know where he lives. Making me unconscious is not going to change anything.

I get up from bed calmly and start casually walking towards the door. They look shocked again. I really don't understand if they're trying to kidnap me or not.

"Aren't we going? I rather avoid a confrontation with my father. I don't want another dead parent in my conscious" I explain after a couple of seconds of waiting for them.

"Y-you're coming with us? Without a fight?" Dylan asks. What a weird kidnapper, they'd rather have me trashing and shouting? Their kidnapping strategy is dumb.

"…should I shout?" I ask after a couple of seconds while tilting my head.

"No…" Dylan says and glances at Nick. Nick is looking at me, just standing there staring at me. This is getting awkward.

He smiles smugly and walks toward me while saving the cloth in his pockets. He picks me up bridal style and I lean my head on his chest. I'm really sleepy, I hate when people wake me up.

"You seem comfortable" Nick snickers and I look up at him "You should've told me if you like me this much. I would've taken you earlier" he says cockily.

I tilt my head in confusion. Why does he think I like him? If anything, I find him as annoying as a fly. "I'm sorry if I give you the wrong impression but I only find you annoying. I rather deep throat a cactus than be around you. But I don't really have an option here and I'm sleepy" I say calmly while leaning my head again in his chest. It's a really unorthodox pillow but it will have to do.

Nick is clenching his jaw while Dylan is biting his lips to hold his laughter, the two other unknown guys cough to dissimulate. These people laugh a lot, is what I said that funny? I was only being honest.

We get inside a black van; Nick sits me on his lap in the passenger seat. This is unsafe, if they crash the airbag is going to break my ribs. Well, I suppose that's the best option, they could be getting ready to torture me or rape me. I don't know what these kidnappers are going to do with me.

I hear the wolf howling happily bouncing and telling me how happy he is I am finally in their arms. He says how much he loves me and how he's going to make me happy. I don't think the wolf understands that their actions are wrong but that's not my fault. Regardless of his innocent shouts, I'm not willing to forgive them for this, it's not my work to fix this idiot.

I look around while Dylan drives but I eventually get bored. Then I look at Nick "Is this because I saw you turning from wolf to human yesterday? I have no intention to tell this to anyone, I don't think people would believe me either" I say calmly.

Nick finally looks at me, before he was looking at the road in front of him. "Are you perhaps planning on killing me in the woods?" I ask curiously "I'd rather be killed at home, that way my dad will not look for me" I say again. Hopefully, my death will be painless, I don't want to die but I'm not as afraid as I should be. I will stay around a little to accompany my dad and then I will peacefully pass.

I smile faintly at the thought. That's not a bad way to go but I rather go fast. Nick's face changes from relaxed to worry and horrified. The other guys flinch and they seem… insulted? Why are they looking at me as if I said something wrong?

"My Mate, my Luna. I will never let anyone hurt you, let alone kill you! You belong to me! You're mine to protect, mine to love! And I would die before letting any harm come your way" he says passionately.

I sigh. Annoyance setting in my head.

Alright, so practically, this guy is delusional about the idea of love, so he kidnaped me. I'd rather be killed thank you very much.
