Midnight Runaway

Chapter 2.

My head is splitting in two, my body is cold and sore even though it is sunny out. I have changed clothes into a tank top and shorts, I even bought sun glasses just to be sure if there are any cameras. His voice in my mind is getting quieter and I don't have as much of a problem closing the chest and with that keeping him away. 

Ava are you okay?

Mate is hurting, he wants us back and he is sure he will. 

Ava are you telling him where we are?

No, he hurt us and broke our trust.

I nod my head at her, I know she is saying the truth and that we are on the same page. 

Should we change things up and do you want to run a little?

She looks shocked or as much as a wolf can look shocked but then a little happiness moves over her and she agrees to go for a little run. About an hour later, I am done parking the car and hiding the suitcase as well as I can so they don't tempt someone.  I walk into the forest and take of my clothes, I have been a werewolf all my life so nudity is not a problem for me. I neatly fold my clothes by a tree then I shift, I feel me and Ava switch, it is pain free and quick. I stretch out my body and rub myself a little into a tree, then she is off running. I know she is in pain and needs this exercise to let out some steam, then the smell hits our nose and she starts hunting the rabbit. She is not long catching it and ripping it apart, our gray/white fur is tainted by the blood but I am more worried about that then her but when she is done she starts running again trying to find water to clean herself off. I let her run and play, then it starts to get dark, I know we won't make it back to the car before it is too dark to find it so I just let her control. We sleep outside but early in the morning we go back to the car and are on the road again, I have this address of a witch that can hopefully help me break the bond between me and my mate so that I can stop running. I have not been able to think or say his name since that night, it hurts way to much. I am worried about my family and pack but then again, he will feel that I am not there and my father can show proof that he has not had any communication with me. My brothers can also protected the pack if he decides to do something stupid, they are older than me and strong alphas. 

We arrive in town and I park the car, I find a little bakery and buy myself something to eat. I am eating and walking when someone grabs my shoulder and spins me around. 

“There are people looking for you!”

This is an old black woman, her clothes look old and torn, her hair is all over the place and a little gray but what made me gasp is that here eyes are white! 

“They are ready to pay a big sum to find you!” 

I put my hand on hers. 

“Please good woman, please don't tell them! I can't go back” I beg. 

Ava growls at her. 

This woman is a witch, she smells like dark evil magic.

My eyes widen! She is a witch! She can help me! I put both my hands on her shoulders and lower my face to hers but she is not looking at me. 

“I need magic, I need someone to help me, can you please help me?” 

She looks mad and disgusted for a little while but then she puts her dirty hand on my forehead then after a few seconds she curses under her breath and takes my hand leading me away. We walk for a while, she continuous cursing herself and shaking her head from side to side, we turn a corner and another and a few more. 

I don't like this Esme, let's go back. 

No she can help us, she is leading us to help.

Then we come to a store. MAMAS VODO. I get a little shiver down my spine just looking at the shop but I continue to follow the woman. We walk right into the shop, the bell rings at the door but I have to put my other hand over my nose. There are a lot of dead things inside this store and more than a few things rotting. 

“MAMA! What are you doing? I told you not to leave the store!” a man said while walking towards us through the shop, he looks mad. 

“I can go and come freely! I felt something and I needed to go see what it was” the old woman said angry back but not looking at the man. 

The man looks from his mother to me and to our hands entwined. 

“A wolf?! You felt and needed to find a wolf! Mother you can't just do that!” 

He spit out the word wolf and I felt a little insulted but the woman does not flinch at her son's outburst. 

“This wolf is an important wolf and I will not have you disrespect my guest!” the woman said and slaps her son on the chest. 

The man sends me daggers with his eyes but I just look away from him, I don't want to be a trouble but I need them to help me. The man sighs then and throws his hands up in the air and turns around walking away. 

“Ariana!” he yells. 

A few moments later a young woman walks into the shop, smiling. 

“Mama, what do you intend to do with that wolf? We have enough fangs and wolf blood” 

With those words I jank my hand out of the old womans and take a few steps back in horror. The woman turns around to look at me. 

“Don't worry, all those fangs and blood were given with consent!” she spats at me. 

I relax a little but I still stand a few steps away from them. 

“I already know what you seek and I know that you can not find that here but I know a witch that you can meet” she says and with every word her voice lowers. 

“What is that you seek wolf?” Ariana asks with a raised eyebrow. 

“I need to break the mate bond” I say trying not to break down. 

This was the first time I have said that out loud, it sounded like something forbidden and so wrong coming out of my mouth but I have made up my mind. 

“Just reject the guy” the woman said with a bored look on her face. 

“We are fully mated” I say showing her my mark. 

Her face turned from bored to shocked then she quickly gets back her evil looking face to normal. 

“Why not just ask your precious Moon goddess?” she said mockingly. 

I growl at her in warning, you do not insult her in front of luna with alpha blood in her veins, the goddess is something pure and true so any insult to her would mean death.

She throws up her hands and backs a few steps back but still holding that smirking face, happy with herself.

“Ariana, you shut your mouth unless you want me to shut it for you!” the old woman shouts at her. 

Her eyes shoot to the old woman in horror and she starts to breath heavily, I can hear her fast heartbeat all the way over to me. 

She is afraid of the old woman.

Yeah but why?

She is stronger. 

The old woman turns around and looks at me. 

“Now Esme, you will be staying for dinner and the night while I will put none tracking spell on you. I am sensing that you are being tracked and we need to cut that off” 

I feel a little pain move over me with her saying my name but I just nod my head, the woman starts to walk deeper into the shop and I follow her but then all of a sudden she turns around, I almost walk into her. 

“Just call me Mama while you are here and if you need to tell someone about me, I am Mama and everyone calls me that” 

I nod my head but then my head bursts into screams. 

ESME! I WILL KILL EVERY SINGLE PERSON YOU CARE ABOUT! I WILL KILL EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT WILL TRY TO HIDE YOU FROM ME! TALK TO ME! COME HOME NOW! ESME!

I fall to the ground holding my head, I am biting down keeping from screaming but a few sounds come from my throat. I can not hold it in anymore, I let out a little scream and lay down on my back. Then I feel some arms around me and I feel the pain and the screaming slowly go back into the chest in my head. I take my hands away from my head and they are all in blood, I taste blood in my mouth. I look up at the arms holding me in his lap and it is the man from before, he looks worried at me but I just start to see spots then darkness.
