A Hybrids Tale: Hollow Hearts

3, pregnant

Trinity's pov

Laying back on my bed I take another scoop of my cookie dough ice cream, I slowly relish in the bitter cold sweetness in my mouth "Hhmmm" I hummed at the goodness, it was heaven in my mouth.

"Really!" I opened my eyes to see pam looking down at me unimpressed.

"It's so good" I smiled.

"I figured it must be, that's your third tub so far this week we will soon need it delivering by the lorry load"

"I could go get it myself if I was aloud out this d**n house" I had lost all concept of time, I was oblivious to how long I had been stuck here just me and pam, I hadn't seen another soul in weeks.

"How you feeling now?" she asks placing a hand on my forehead.

"better, this ice cream always makes me feel better" I answered taking another mouthful.

"Yes well, keep that up you will be the size of a house"

"Ouch" I sarcastically answered holding my hand over my heart, I couldn't lie I was well aware I had put on a few pounds, my clothes were tighter I was practically living in my joggers, Eating and tv were the only things to do in this house. I had spent weeks trying to escape through every possible route it was useless.

I had become quite good friends with Pam, I've found out that she has no family her husband and children were killed years ago.

she says she would have loved a daughter like me, It made me think of my own mother, I couldn't remember much but what I did, she will always be in my heart.

Pam doesn't speak too much about her family I can see the pain in her eyes every time she mentions them, I could tell there was more to the story than she let on.

I hadn't realised I had fallen asleep whilst watching tv in bed. until I bolted upright in bed panting, beads of sweat trailing down my face, it was another nightmare.

Running through the forest I could hear fighting all around me, dodging branches and jumping over the debris on the floor I continue to run as fast as I can.

A lake ahead of me in the clearing is fast approaching so I slow down taking in everything around me, I notice bodies on the ground all over the place, I knew straight away these were from mine and Hunter's pack.

I keep walking slowly stepping over the limbs of the fallen victims. stopping suddenly as I recognise the body now in front of me. I cover my mouth to stop the screams from leaving my lips and fall to my knees as I take in Ashley's limp body soaked in blood.

"Ashley" I whisper stroking the hair from her face, as soon as my fingers made contact with her skin the coldness told me straight away she was dead.

I stood up slowly, looking around me at all the bodies that were once there now gone.

I was now standing in a meadow full of gorgeous blue flowers it was quiet, I closed my eyes taking in the quietness I felt peaceful.

"You see what happens when you are here" The voice I so longed to hear, I turn quickly to find Hunter standing barely six feet from me. I wanted to jump into his arms but my feet wouldn't allow me to move.

"Hunter" I whispered.

"Why have you come back?" he looked annoyed, I don't understand he seems...different.

"I was taken, I don't know how I got here" the realisation just hits me he asked 'why I had come back, he doesn't look happy.

"you don't want me back?" I quietly asked him

"If I wanted you back I would of come and got you myself, we don't want you back the pack has a new luna" he was blank he showed no expression on his face at all, he looked at me as if I was nothing.

"How? I don't understand I thought you loved me?"

He laughed looking around then back to me "how could I love someone like you, You are damaged, broken, worthless. look around Trinity this is what you do to everyone around you, you did this" he opens his arms gesturing around us.

Looking around this time the bodies were now back but there were more, each had been clawed and ripped apart. looking down my attention now shifts to my hands, my claws were out soaked in blood, on further inspection of myself I realised I was covered head to toe in blood, had I done this? had I killed all these innocent people.

I shook my head "I didn't do this, I swear I didn't" I pleaded.

"of course you did you killed your pack, the people who trusted you, you think Doms going to let you live after he finds out you killed Ashley, which means you leave me no choice, you must die" he smiled, his eyes slowly change the veins on his face pulsing the darkness that surrounds him was terrifying.

"Please don't Hunter, you know me, you know I wouldn't do this" it was too late he came at me full speed, I managed to dodge him and run as fast as I could through the forest once again.

Hunter was gaining on me, it didn't matter how fast I pushed myself he was gaining by the second. I suddenly felt him jump onto my back knocking me to the floor the moment my head made contact with the floor there was nothing just darkness, it was over.

The moon was still shining through my window, leaning over looking at my clock It was only 2.37 am, I hated these dreams they were becoming more vivid every night they were waking me up.

Pushing myself out of bed towards the door of my bedroom I walk the landing towards the top of the stairs.

I came to a halt when I heard the hushed voices from downstairs, it was Pam she was talking to a man, I recognised the voice from that night I was taken.

"Pack some things for her, I'm moving her from here in 10 days time the packs getting too close, I'm not taking any chances"

"she shouldn't be moved in her condition" I heard Pam whisper.

"You said she didn't know" A deeper voice answered her.

"She doesn't, well she hasn't said anything but she's a nice girl she doesn't deserve this"

"Oh don't go soft on me now Pam, just remember our deal you want your freedom then you stick to our plan because what I did to your family could easily happen to you" the strange voice threatened.

"You've taken everything from me, if my life is all that's left for you to take then take it, I don't want any part of this plan"

"Always so dramatic, maybe I should make an anonymous call to dear old Hunter telling him where his brides been, it's you, after all, that's refusing her to leave to go back to him, the torture he would bestow on you, your going to wish I had killed you, now be a good girl and just have her ready next Friday" silence fell, I knew whoever he was he was now gone, Pam walked out noticing me at the top of the stairs, she stopped looking at me as if she had seen a ghost.

After a moment of silence she cleared her throat, "What did you hear?" she asked solemnly.

"I heard enough! what do you mean about 'my state'?" I asked her wanting to know what was wrong with me.

She stood still thinking for a moment " I'm going to make some tea, go sit in the lounge I'll be there in a moment to explain everything to you" she walked away witha look of defeat on her face.

She walks into the kitchen, could this finally be it, I wasn't sure I could trust her maybe this was part of the 'plan.'

Pam sat next to me handing me a cup of hot tea, she silently sat sipping from her cup.

"So are we going to sit here in silence or are you going to finally explain to me what's going on?" I asked.

She looked at me " can I ask you something first?"

"Ok" I nodded as I took a sip of my tea before placing the hot cup on the coffee table.

"What sort of man is Hunter?" I looked at her confused, why did she want to know about Hunter?

"He's a great guy" I began, but she was quick to cut me off.

" great you say but his reputation says different, there are many stories about him about his violent behaviour his..."

"look, I know what you think but you don't know him, he's a hybrid so yes he can be dangerous. He Does rule over one of the strongest packs in the world you think that's easy to do? the stories are exactly that, just stories, made up by people who fear the unknown, I don't have trust in many people Pam but I trust him with my life. he would help anyone who needed it, that's the sort of person he is"

she nods listening carefully to me " what sort of Alpha is he? does his pack fear him?"

"No, he is their friend as well as their leader, I've seen him laugh and joke with them he plays with their children he listens to their problems, does that sound like a pack that fear their Alpha"

"No I suppose it doesn't" she replies quietly, taking another sip from her cup she places it on the table next to mine. shifting in her seat so she is now facing me she takes ahold of my hands. "What I'm about to tell you may confuse you, but I just want you to know you can trust me and if you let me I will help you get back to Hunter" she had my full attention when she said that, I had missed him so much the pain from being apart was unbearable.

"The man that brought you here is your father" she began, I snatched my hands from hers

"That's a lie my father died years ago, you said you would tell me the truth you..."

"Trinity! this is the truth please just hear me out" I could see tears in her eyes.

"Your father is the one that killed my family, he faked his death and killed your mother for his own sick twisted games, how do you think you ended up with Derek, you were supposed to be dead by now but Derek obviously changed his mind and kept you for his own purpose."

she wiped the tears from my cheeks that I hadn't realised I was releasing, taking hold of my hands she continued.

"Your father has someone on the inside"

"Jennifer...." I said, it had to be.

Pam nodded her head to confirm " you were never part of the plan she has for Hunter she needed you out the way ......Jennifer, she isn't who she says she is"

"Who is she?"

"I don't know for sure, I was never told, all I know is your not safe if you stay here"

"Why am I even here, if they wanted me gone why not kill me already"

She took a deep breath and looked into my eyes "Your only alive because your carrying Hunters child"

The air left my lungs my hand automatically went to my stomach the other to my mouth. how did they know and I didn't?

"how do you know for sure that im carrying his child?" I asked her.

Call it a woman's intuition, have you noticed your eating more, craving ice cream your clothes are tighter but most of all your craving for blood has become more frequent"

she was right I had been feeling all of those, I thought my clothes getting tighter was just the amount of ice cream I was eating. how can a baby be growing inside me and I not know? suddenly what Jennifer had told us that night came crashing down on me.

"Jennifer said I would have a child, on the day of its born we would be killed by Hunter is that true?"

"I don't know for sure, never underestimate Jennifer she is a nasty piece of work, she wants the pack for her own personal gain she has told Hunter you left him, he knows nothing about the baby" she explained.

The tears began to fall from my eyes once again thinking of Hunter "so that's why he hasn't come for me, he thinks I left him"

"No not at all Trinity, now listen to me despite the rumours about that man he cares for you that pack has been out every day searching for you, the house is cloaked we are right under their nose but they are yet to find you."

It made me feel slightly better knowing I was still close to him but I know if I wanted to get back to him it would have to be soon next Friday was fast approaching. "where is he taking me next Friday"

"Somewhere far away, to a place not even Hunter will ever be able to reach you, the packs getting closer to the house even though we are cloaked they may still pick up on something, he doesn't want to take the risk, he's moving you just until you've had the baby, he's planning on taking it but I don't know any more than that"

I held my stomach tighter, even though I had only just found out about my little bean I already felt so much love for him or her im not going to let anyone get near it.

"So what do we do? you said you are going to help me"

"In 4 days your father is going away for 3 days that will be our window to make a break for it, but im worried Trinity will Hunter believe you about his mother, you don't know what she's been filling his head with while you've been gone will we be safe there"

"We will have to take the chance and see what happens when we get there, but we have one other problem before we need to worry about that, I can't get out the house remember" I shrugged motioning to the house.

"You will when the time comes don't worry, it's my spell" she smiled.

"you're a witch?" I questioned.

"yes, so please don't worry....now go get yourself to bed you need your rest" she ordered as she stood pulling me into a bear-like hug, she then started collecting our cups from the table, there was no way I would be able to sleep now with all this new information buzzing around in my brain, could it be true would I be back with Hunter in just a few days? I really hope so.
