AURORA'S POV
"This dress is too short for my taste", I complain throwing the dress catty picked for me from my closet to wear.
"Its your birthday, girl", she clicks her tongue in disappointment shaking her head.
"I know but that doesn't mean I will be going to my work place in those clothes,", I tell her sternly taking a pair of blue jeans and white button up shirt.
"Why are you so cold when I suggest you wear something?", she whines making a pout of her rosy lips as I smile at her.
"I just dont like to be told, you know it better", I tell shrugging my shoulders giving her a faint smile.
Growing up with Lucas I have always tagged Catherin and Lucas along. I can admit without shame that I even went with them to their first date as a third wheel. But that didn't stop me from not joining them and Lucas and Catherin being habituated with my presence they kind of felt bore without me. Well after all they were only I had back then and now. Lucas started dating Catherin, my best friend who spoke to me first in the school. She was so talkative and clumsy which gets on my nerves sometimes but I would never exchange it with any jewels in the world. She is a joyful girl with motherly care. When Lucas laid his eyes on her he fell head over heels just like her. It was a love at first sight but they both make it look like if they are bonded to each other, destined to be soulmates.
"When does your shift ends today?", she asks getting up from my bed to grab a box of chocolates I placed on the nightstand table.
"Actually I didn't plan to go on work today but the restaurant is busy so manager called me to be there in like one hour, thank you very much you already wasted my thirty minutes", I gasp as I check the time.
"Why do you even work as a waitress when you are adopted by the Davis?", she asks quoting the surname in air with her two fingers of each hand.
"The answer is in your question, I was adopted, but still am Aurora Rosie not Davis" I tell shrugging my shoulders putting my white sneakers on.
"you remember the time right, I will be waiting here with your birthday dress and no, you are going to wear it", she tells popping another chocolate in her mouth leaving my room.
"argh this girl!", I exclaim dramatically thinking which dress she picked for me to wear tonight. I swear if its a short dress am going to kill her.
Taking my wallet in my jeans pocket I stuff my phone in other pocket leaving the bedroom then apartment after layering a trench coat on my white shirt. I walk down the valley and stand on the foot path waiting for a taxi which gladly arrived not letting me wait for too long.
I open the door of the white taxi and see a man already seated in. My instincts made me panic internally seeing a stranger in my taxi.
"Excuse me, I booked this cab, didn't I?", I ask the driver who gives me a smile.
"Yes mam, am gonna drop this man just five minutes away from here, sorry for the inconvenience", he tells making me frown.
"hey! Its okay, I will drop off just right after the tower circle", the stranger tells pressing a smile.
I battle with my inner instincts thinking to take this taxi or not for a good two minutes.
My journey is through busy area, not secluded, so there is no way people are going to watch me getting kidnapped easily. If I scream they will be able to help. Moreover what reason do these people have to kidnap me, nothing!
I think taking this can will be a good idea since I dont have much time. I decide giving a smile to the driver and get inside the car.
The trench coat the stranger is wearing is dirty with splattered mud on it, I glance at his shoes seeing more mud as I frown, the driver starts the car persuading the journey.
When I glance at the face of the stranger casually only to see his eyes shining golden in colour. I know who's eyes shine gold and I know this stranger is no human but a beast who hunts in packs. My face turned pale in fear seeing a smirk plastering on his face. I know he knows who I am and he knows I figured out who he is. I gulp visibly not breaking the eye contact with him.
"Let me go", I tell him sternly to which he raises his eyebrows amused.
"LET ME GO!", I scream turning my back to him trying to open the door of the car. He held my hand tightly wrapping his other arm around my waist pulling me close to him making me panic more.
My breathe becomes unstable as the memories of the massacre rolled in my eyes as a film reel.
I feel weak, vulnerable and fear. Fear, which I hate experiencing. Fear of death, fear of dying of hunger, fear of being left alone, fear of dying on a street for cold. Fear of losing my loved ones and myself.
"We know the two little best friends of yours, if you want them alive, stay quiet the whole journey and dont try to act smart", he growls in my ear making my heart bang hard against my ribs.
"who... who are you?", I stutter in fear wriggling from his grip as he chuckles.
"what a weak witch you are", he taunts me before answering the question.
"As you have figured out an a werewolf and if you precisely want to know my name, my name is David", he tells his breathe fanning on my neck making every inch of it crawl in disgust.
"you fucking animal! Leave me", I snap at him pushing my fear away and use a spell to push him off me.
He falls back on the other door as I hurriedly take this chance to open the door and get out from it but he was fast enough to hold me captive again.
"I said she is not as weak she looks bro", I driver comments chuckling.
"put a gag in her pretty mouth so that she cant use her little magic", the man who was driving suggest as I yelp in pain due to the twisting of my hand behind my back.
"Leave me! Help!", I scream but he muffled them with his hand and stuffed a bandana in my mouth then plastering it.
My hands are tied back with a hard material which is gonna leave a severe bruise on my wrists which is my least consent.
The only thing I want to do is to escape from these animals. I have to plan something immediately so that I can trick them and escape from them. Still not reaching my witch age I cant use my magic when my mouth is gaged not letting me chant the spells. I sigh jerking myself away from David's body and glare at him in pure anger.
"What a good girl", he coos patting my head to which I jerk it and hit my head on his nose making him wince in pain as it bleeds.
"you stupid bitch", he snarls fisting my hair and brining his face close to mine. His face is disgusting, he looks more ugly with the bloodied nose which makes me smirk internally even though my every fibre is shivering in fear.
"stop being a brat and sit still, or else I will gag you with my dick and let all my boys fuck your cunt senselessly so that you wont even think about escaping", he yells on my face as tears stream down from my eyes even though they are glaring at him.
I stopped struggling and let him carry me as a rag doll to where ever they are going to take me. No one can save me, not even Jackson nor Lucas. These are werewolves and humans cant win over them, even if they win why will they take me back when they finds out that am a witch? I think the worst possible scenarios could happen with me at the moment. My eyes burns as my heart in fear imagining my future.
After all am alone in this world without any blood. Soon the car stops at the side of the road and driver calls someone.
"we are here", he tells in the phone as I glance at my surroundings attentively remembering everything.
"Okay", he tells after two minutes as he puts his phone in the pocket if his black bomber jacket and get off from the car and examine the road.
"you can get her out", he orders at another man telling him to bring me out.
"be a good girl, or else you know what you will get", he tells as I clench my jaw in anger.
As I thought about how I would leave my phone and wallet here for Jackson to find me. I know he will be able to track the number of the taxi I took and it will be in the cctv cameras of the city where this taxi stopped. When they comes here seeing my belongs might give them a lead to find me and now, I have to sleekly slide my things out from my jeans pockets.
I Take a huge breathe as the cloth in my mouth started to get very irritating buy getting wet with my own saliva which makes me want to puke. God better that bandana is clean, that's what I hope internally as I glare at him one last time through my moistened lashes.
The driver opens the door yanking me out which I didn't cause any trouble. David gets out from the car right behind me in fear of me running away. I mentally laugh at the thought that how afraid they look being the werewolves as I am a mere witch who didn't posses any powers yet.
"Alpha is waiting eagerly for this chick", driver chuckles wickedly as my skin gets pricked with goosebumps.
As David's hand grabs my arm yanking towards the woods I mentally prepare for what am going to do.
In a second I lift my knee and kneel him in his groin and push my head back hitting it nose if the driver. I dig my elbow in the driver's stomach and start running on the main road. Being the secluded area there weren't any cars going which made my heart beat fast. I slide my hand in my right pocket first and slip my phone out from there. Then I do same with the left pocket taking out my wallet and throwing it on the road side, which will easily gets attention if someone didn't pick them up. I hope if someone really picked it up could inform Jackson so that he finds me as soon as possible.
Retrieving from the pain I gave them, both werewolves reach me in no time and tries to destroy my plan of escape, which is completely according to them. While mine was to leave traces, I know I cant run over these animals who literally like to hunt their pray playing for few minutes before attacking, taking their own sweet time in chasing.
"How dare you fucking bitch!", David growls slapping me across my face making me grimace in pain. My cheek stings at the hard impact which I know it clearly got badly bruised. I yelp in pain but my voice is muffled because of the gag.
"I will kill this slut right here", the drive snaps at me as he yank me with my hair. Tears start pouring out again which I try to blink them away not showing them my vulnerable side.
"lets take her to Alpha, he has better plans", David states smirking at me which only indicates one thing – trouble.
