Eloise POV
Anna had to wait back and I had to travel home alone, it was already evening, and today my luck was so bad, the street lights were not working. I walked towards my bicycle, and took it out from the parking stand. I sat on my bicycle and began to ride towards the main road, different thoughts were racing in my mind, I was already scared. I don't have any powers like other wolves, I am just a human. The entire road was empty and after half an hour my bicycle hit a small rock on the road, I lost my balance and fell in the bushes. I got a small bruise on my head, I placed my finger on my wound which was bleeding and struggled to get up, by bicycle laid beside me, I took the support of the ground and got up. I walked towards my bicycle, picked it up. That's when I noticed that the wheel of my bicycle was punctured. “Oh no no!, please don't tell me that I need to walk home,” I began to drag my bicycle towards the main road. As I walked I could hear different kinds of voices from the forest, the road was constructed in between the forest. I increased my speed, I kept reminding myself that I am going to reach home fast, just a few more minutes.
Suddenly i could feel someone was following me, I started walked faster, the person who was following me increased their speed as well, I looked behind and what I saw next widened my eyes, there was a girl whose face was covered with a mask, she wore a black top and a black trousers, there were four wolfs. Two walked besides her and the other two behind. I threw my bicycle and began to run, I ran as fast as I could, but then stopped two wolves obscured my path and I stopped running as I froze at my place and the other two behind me. I had no other option, I had to take another way. I knew the forest well as my mother used to often take me to forest, as she had found me there. I ran inside the forest, I knew a shortcut through the forest which would take me home but that path was dangerous and my mother warned me to never take that part but in case of an emergency I can use it. I began to run as fast as I could but suddenly I felt like something stung me on my neck like an arrow. As I touched my neck and took out the small arrow. I threw it on the ground, I continued to run as fast as I could but suddenly everything around me was blur, I couldn't see anything. My eyes were closing, I tried my best to keep my eyes open but I had no control over it and fell to the ground.
As my eyes opened I could feel my entire body numb, I was still feeling dizzy and couldn't see anything clearly, everything was blurry. My hands and legs were tied with cable tires, and there was cloth dumped into my mouth. I felt heavy in my head, I couldn't move my body. I was kidnapped by an unknown person, but who was that person? And what they want from me.
I tried my best to get up but I couldn't, I noticed a knife which was lying in the corner of the room, I dragged myself on the floor towards the knife, I couldn't lose hope, I had to get out of this place alive as soon as possible. I didn't know how I would use that knife to free myself but I will definitely try my best.
As I moved towards the knife and tried to grab it with my leg the knife was picked by someone.
I slowly moved my head and looked above me, I noticed the same girl whose face was covered with a mask, she placed the knife in a pocket which was tied around her waist and knelt in front of me, she grabbed my hair and moved her face close to mine, “Trying to run??, are you sure you will be able to leave this place alive,” she said in a cold voice.
I could see pure anger in her eyes as she stared into my eyes.
She took out the cloth from my mouth and I began to cough, I looked at her, “Who are you?, and what do you want from me?,” I asked her.
She scoffed, “Figure it out yourself, you should be asking yourself this question, what did you do that led you to this place?.” Saying that she sat on a chair which was placed in front of me.
Few more men entered the room. “Help her sit, I want to talk to her” she ordered one of her men.
A tall 6ft guy walked towards me, with a mask on his face and helped me sit while he laid my back on the wall.
I stared at the unknown girl figuring out who she was and what she wanted from me.
She crossed her arms, crossed her arms across her chest and gave me a death stare.
“I don't know what have I done and why you brought me here,” I said with a stern voice while I looked into her red eyes.
She looked at one of her men and gave him a snap. The man moved towards the corner of the room where a cane was placed.
What is she trying to do?, is she trying to hurt me with that cane? I had goosebumps all over my body and I was scared. I didn't know what to do next and how to protect myself from this woman whom I never met. “Don't you dare!, what did I do to you?, why are you trying to hurt me?Let me go home please!,” I yelled with tears in my eyes.
“Please I want to go,” I said in a soft voice while I lowered my head.
The man handed her the cane, she stood from her chair and hit it hard on the ground. A loud sound made my body move with fear, I tried to drag myself towards the other side of the room, my hands and legs still tied. No one knew that I was stuck here, it was impossible to call for help. My bag was lying in the corner of the room. The entire room was dark. There was only one small bulb switched on in the room.
She hit the cane again on the floor, and moved towards me.
She moved her hand to give me a hit, i closed my eyes tightly but I couldn't feel anything, i slowly opened my eyes and what I saw next was a man standing next to her holding the cane tightly. She was looking at the man and he stared into my eyes. He had a mask on his face. Why is everyone here wearing a mask?, They were hiding their true identity.
She was struggling to get her cane back but he was holding it tightly.
“Leave it!!, why are you trying to help her,” she said in a cold voice.
The guy didn't respond and he took the cane from her hand, broke it into two pieces and threw it on the floor. He took out his pocket knife and walked towards me, trying to cut the cable tires but was stopped by the girl.
“If you want her you need to fight me,” she said in a cold voice.
She caught his throat trying to choke him, he caught her hand and twisted it, he took out a chain from his pocket and tied her hand with it.
“Why are you doing this?, leave me!,” she said in a loud voice.
The four men who were present in the room tried to attack him but were defeated as the unknown man who was trying to save me was way too strong than the other two. He wore a black tshirt, he had a good build, it looked like his veins would explode any moment from his muscles.
He moved towards me and cut the cable tires from my leg and then my hand. “Who are you?,” I said as I stared into his eyes and he stared into mine, he had blue eyes which looked so pretty. He tried to help me get up from the floor but he suddenly stopped and fell to the ground. That's when I discovered the unknown masked girl stood behind him with a rod in her hand. She was the one who hit him on his head. He was still conscious and was trying to get up but couldn't because of his bleeding head. I looked at the girl, “Why are you so cruel!!,” I yelled at her as I moved towards the masked guy. “I am so sorry, because of me you are hurt,” I said with tears in my eyes.
The unknown girl grabbed my hair and dragged me towards the corner of the room, i could see the unknown helper struggling to get up but he couldn't, he was staring into my eyes. He wanted to help me but he couldn't because he was wounded.
I tried to free myself but I couldn't as she was too strong. She threw me in the corner, one of her men brought another cane and handed it to her. She lifted her hand to give me a wip and I closed my eyes again, she hit me so hard I could feel it enter my flesh. I let out a loud cry, “it's hurting!!,” I said while I cried.
She gave me another wip, “Stop it!!It's hurting. Please don't hit me, what did I do??, please let me go,” i cried, pleading with her to let me go.
I couldn't bear the pain and began to lose consciousness, my eyes began to close slowly and fell to the ground.
Everything was blurry around me, the woman tried to hit me again but was stopped by the unknown man again. This time he threw her on the floor, took out his knife and slit her throat. Few blood drops splashed on my face.
Her body was covered with her own pool of blood, i closed my eyes while breathing heavily, i could then feel someone lift me in their arms, i couldn't open my eyes because of the pain. I fell unconscious.
When I gained consciousness again, I could feel my head laid on something very soft just like a teddy bear, i slowly lifted my head trying to figure out where I was . That's when I found that I was sitting on a wolf which was running fast into the forest, his fur was covered with blood, I held him tight while he ran. I could feel the cool breeze touch my skin as he ran into the forest. I couldn't believe I was riding a werewolf.
I had already reached my house, he placed me near the gate and transformed himself into a human, i could see everything blur, this time he didn't have a mask on. I tried to figure out who he was but I couldn't open my eyes because of the pain, he took out the keys from my bag and opened the door, he carried me in his arms and took me to my room. He placed me on the bed, I could feel my eyes shut but before closing my eyes I touched his face, the last thing I felt before closing my eyes completely was a kiss on my hand and my forehead.
