Rogue

Let The Chase Begin

Chapter four: let the chase begin 

Raquel POV 

It took me all night to spread my scent in a different direction then head back home, as I reach the cave near, I sniff the air they are still here. I shift feeling tired all of a sudden, I walk to the entrance not caring about my nudity. “Rache!” I hear Mitchell say before I faint, I wake to the light of the sun coming from the entrance of the cave. “Are you feeling better?” one of the kids asks, I smile ruffling his hair “yes I am, where is Mitchell?” Before he could answer Mitchell walks in with a dead deer, all the kids ran to him exited. I just smile to myself as I let my mind wonder back to the guy from last night could it be that he is my uncle as he said?  

The day goes on, Mitchell told me about the trackers that where send to look for me after I escaped or more like I was set free. Not that Mitchell knows, I trust him I do but I don’t trust this supposed uncle of mine, so I won’t tell Mitchell about him. With people looking for me we have to run get out of here but we can’t. Not now because of the kids we have to travel with is dangerous to have them out with people looking for me.  

Octavious POV 

I was supposed to visit my pray last night but I didn’t I got too carried away in my alpha duties I lost track of time. But this morning when I went to look for her, I found one of the guards knock out the cell was open and she was gone, nowhere to be seen. I send trackers out first thing but they haven’t returned yet. I wait by the cells looking at everyone passing by wanting to kill someone for this. She had to have had help she couldn’t have escaped not in the state she was in anyways. I feel my beta he has been anxious since this morning, his eyes golden showing his wolf on sight. He growls shakes his head and growls again, I can feel his hesitation but I don’t know to what.  

I walk to him not that I care how he feels but he is my beta he has to be well to help me lead this pack without a Luna is hard to do everything by myself. “What is it?” I asked starling him he shakes his head before he answers. “I don’t know I, I can’t explain I just, I guess I want to hunt down the prisoner to finish with this.”  

Trey POV 

Truth is I don’t know what is wrong with me, so I lied to our alpha not knowing how to answered to his question.  

    This morning 

“NOOOO!!!” I wake up to a scream, I run out of the house towards the cells only to find Octavious standing there looking pissed. I sniff the air and the lavender scent engulfs me, making my wolf fight me to go out. There is something about this scent that drives him mad to  the point of wanting out. ‘what is wrong with you?’ I asked Storm my wolf, he whines before I can hear his answer. ‘I am not sure but we have to find the owner of this scent, because I want, no scratch that I need more of it.’ I roll my eyes, this can’t be true, the rest of the morning I pace around the place I want to be out there like the trackers I want to find the prisoner but I am scared. Scared of what I will do if or when I find him. 

Now that Octavious asked about my acting it just makes me more inpatient, I know who ever this is it means a lot to him. “So who is the one that scaped?” I had to ask, I want to know, more like my wolf needs to know. “It was the golden wolf, that girl is a savage,” girl? “Is this the teenager?” The face he makes, made everything clear now, I have been feeling bad knowing we had a girl been torture by our alpha. This might be why I am feeling this way, because she is just a girl, she might need help. Whatever it is their is nothing I can do about it, because I will always stand by my alpha no matter what. 

Raquel POV 

After a few days we notice that theirs less movements in the area from the pack, so we know we can move out. We all start walking out the cave, heading to our cavern, it is not far but traveling with kids makes the trip longer. After a day of walking we decide to camp, Mitchell did the hunting while I took care of the kids. The next morning our walk began, and by the time it was dark again we camped. It took us three days and we are finally near the cavern, “sshh” I shush everyone, my ears perk as I hear a strange noise. “Can you hear it?” I ask Mitchell and he nods, I signal for him to hide with the kids while I go check. I walk towards the sound only to find a couple dead in the ground. 

I look around horrified of what is in my sight, a flag gives the responsible of this act away. It was the kingdom, but what where they doing this far from home? I turn to walk back when I hear the sound again, thinking that maybe the female is not dead but hurt I go to her only to find something else. A baby cries in the arms of the corpse, she had hidden her baby, I pick up the baby, he immediately stops crying as he nuzzles near my warmth. I turn around and walk back to the others. “What is that?” Mitchell asks before anyone else could I smile at the sleeping baby. “I found him, his parents are dead killed by the kingdom, I saw their flag,” I look down at the baby again. “I couldn’t leave him,” “let’s keep walking”. We do as he says and keep walking by night we had reached our cavern, it is hiding in plain sight. Not one can find it unless you know is here.  

The first thing I notice is the small amount of light once inside, “Meranda!” I walk faster and hug her, my friend. Remember when I mention about other species being part of our group this is it, Meranda is a hybrid half witch half vampire. I look at the other hybrids and vampires, they are all rogues just like us and have been staying with us for a few years now. 

Morning comes and we go out taking the older kids to show them how to hunt, although I stay closer to the cavern not wanting to leave the baby alone far too long. Even though he is maybe six months old he is too small for his age, and that only worries me. I take the younger kids that had come out back to the caver while Mitchell take the only three that have shifted already to hunt for real this time.  

Meranda walks to me and smiles, “heard you had your fun with some pack, what didn’t convince you to stay?” she finishes her sentence laughing making me playfully punch her arm, “I was a mere prisoner who by the way was torture before I was let free.” “Let free? I thought Mitchell said you escaped.” s**t, I messed up “don't tell him please, I don’t trust the one who freed me,” she nods and I know she won't tell a soul about this. 

Octavious POV 

Months it’s been months and finally we got a lead on where this golden monster is, and I got to say it feels incredible. Let the chase begin, I smirk feeling like a new man just by knowing where she is. Trey as my beta will came with me and so is my best tracker Mikah, we will find my pray and she will regret ever crossing my path. 

Before the sun goes down, we start our walk, we need to walk first to make sure our path is free of any troubles. A few hours later and is time to shift into our wolves, now is time to run, my wolf is excited for the hunt. Running like this knowing that I will get her and have her torture till I feel pleased makes me enjoy this run.
