-Crimson P.O.V.-
I was currently driving to my 2 o'clock appointment that I had with an Alpha. I wasn’t too far away from this guy's pack land when my phone started to ring. Ring...Ring...I groan as I pick up my cell phone and look to see who is calling me really quick.
Me: What’s up, babes?
Jake: Can I bring someone over today? They will bring me home from college too. (He sounded really nervous as he spoke. I knew it had to do something with a guy.)
Me: Does this have to do something with a guy? (I ask with amusement in my voice. I swear I could hear his blush through the phone)
Jake: Shut up! Just answer me. (He says rushed.)
Me: Yes, you may bring this mystery man to the house so I can meet him. I got to go, love you babes.
I don’t wait for Jake to respond as I slam on my brakes when an SUV pulls out in front of me. F**k. I f**king knew it. I curse to myself as I pull out my gun from under the seat. I should have f**king known that once this 2 o’clock meeting was moved from my office to this person's “pack” that I was being set up.
I don’t think as I jump out of my car at the same time that 5 nightwalkers jump out of the SUV in front of me. I lift my gun up as I shoot two right between the eyes just as the other three reach me. One uses its nails/claws to slice my right side while I used the butt of my gun to bash the side of its head in.
The other two tried to come at me, but I expected this. I dogged their attacks while I dropped to my knees and bent backwards where I shot the two in the back of their kneecaps. They fell to the ground screaming out as they tried to heal themselves, but I was quicker. I pulled a knife out from behind my back as I sliced the throat of the one that I had hit with my gun and once I was done with him, I jumped on the last two as I stabbed the sides of their neck causing blood to just pour out. While they bled out, I walked over to my car and opened up the trunk before I pulled out a can of gasoline and a lighter. I covered all 5 bodies and the car in gas before I lit the gas on fire.
Before the fire could get any bigger, I put everything back before jumping in the driver's seat and driving away. I had a feeling that those were not the only ones waiting for me. The Nightwalkers have been after me for a long time, exactly 6 years. The head guy of them wants me for his own but I refuse to be his. I do not want to be the mate of a vampire who has no morals. The Nightwalkers were disgusting vampires as they had paleish/grey skin, long fingers with nails/claws sticking out from them, bright red eyes that glowed in the dark, and sharp fangs that cut through anything. Now their features were not the things that disgusted me...it was how they were within the world. They killed anything for its blood. I am talking about babies, kids, teenagers, virgins, old people, married people, or any human that they could get their hands on. They also break the law within the vampire world as they cause trouble wherever they go as they attack towns, packs, and other vampires. What they do and how they act make me sick which is why I have no remorse in killing them.
I pulled out my phone and pressed on Tom’s number as he needed to know what was going on and what was about to happen..
Tom: What happened? (He immediately said once he answered.)
Me: I was set up. An SUV pulled out in front of me with 5 Nightwalkers in it. I got slashed on my right side but I killed them all. I set them and their car on fire. (Before I could finish, another SUV pulled out in front of me. I slammed on the brakes.) F**K!
Tom: WHAT HAPPENED……
I didn’t answer as I dropped my phone and quickly reloaded my gun before I rolled down my window. I put my car in park as I leaned my upper body out of the window and started to shoot at the SUV in front of me. Just then 10 Nightwalkers came from out of the woods from the side of the road as I shot at the SUV. I knew they were coming and once I unloaded my clip, I sat back down in my seat as I reloaded my gun and pulled my knives from the glovebox before I jumped out of my car….
---30 minutes later…
“F**K.” I groaned as I sat down in the driver's seat of my car.
I had a few broken ribs, a gash on my right and left side, and a couple of other cuts over my body. I was covered in blood as I drove away from the fire that I had started. I took some painful breaths before I picked back up my phone just in time to catch Mack calling me.
Me: Hey babes. (I say with pain laced in my tone)
Mack: Where are you? What happened??? (He quickly fired off as I could hear the pure fear in his voice.)
Me: I am fine other than a few cuts, gashes, and maybe some broken ribs. It was 10 on 1 but I won. I am headed to the house, where are you?
Mack: I am waiting for you at the house. Tom is waiting in the garage.
Me: Thank you, babes.
Mack: Just get here alive. Please…
I sighed before I just hung up the phone. It didn’t take me long to get to the house and when I pulled into the garage there was Tom waiting for me. Once the car was in park, Tom was opening my car door for me.
“Gah, Crimson.” He said as he helped me out of the car. I wrapped my left arm around his shoulder as his right arm went behind my back and the left in front of my stomach. He laced his fingers together as he helped to hold me up as we walked into the house.
Every step was filled with pain as he led me to my room. I toughened through it though. All because I needed to be stitched up before drinking the potion to heal my broken ribs along with my cuts. We entered my bedroom when a gasp caused me to look up. Mack stood there with a hand over his mouth as he had tears in his eyes. I was going to say something when Tom beat me to it.
“Go and make some tea along with a light snack as I stitch her up.” He tells his mate/my brother softly. It takes Mack a second of looking at me before he rushes past Tom and I to go and make some tea.
“Thank you.” I say with a pain laced in my voice.
Tom led me into the bathroom before sitting me on the toilet. “You need to stop going to things alone. You could've been killed.” He says as he grabs the medkit from the cabinet. He pulls out what he needs before helping me take off my shirt as he gets to work on stitching me up.
“I know that, Tom.” I say while gritting my teeth together as the needle pierces my skin.
I didn’t have to see Tom’s face to know that he rolled his eyes. “Whatever. You better hope that Jake doesn’t find out when he gets here.”
“Please don’t tell him.” I beg Tom. If he told Jake then that could cause a meltdown. Jake has a deep fear of losing me and he doesn’t need to be hearing about what happens to me when I work or seeing it. Mack does too, but he can handle it better than Jake.
“I won’t and neither will Mack.” I just nod as silence takes us over.
It didn’t take Tom long to have me stitched up before I took the potion to start the healing of my body. Once Tom left me alone, I stripped out of my clothes and stepped into the shower. I let the lukewarm water run over my body as I hissed when it slightly burned when it ran over my cuts. I could feel the potion slowly healing my body as the dried blood from the fight was being washed off my body. I stayed in the shower for about 30 minutes before I decided to get out. I wrapped my body up in a towel just when Tom walked back into the bathroom to help me.
He was the one to help me with drying my hair, getting dried off, and getting me dressed. He always closes his eyes or looks away when it comes to drying my body off or helping me get dressed which I appreciate. The only time that he has ever seen me naked or anything of that kind is when I am really bad...like one time I was so cut up and broken that he had to wash my body while holding my body up in the shower. It took me about 2 days to fully heal from that attack. That was also when Jake was really bad when it came to his mental state, so was Mack. They both view me as a mother/sister so when they see me cut up, they take it very badly.
“Thank you.” I said to Tom once he helped me to get into my bed. Just then Mack entered with tea and some crackers.
He climbed up into the bed and handed me the tea before he opened up the pack of crackers. I drank all of the tea before I handed the cup back to him as I took the crackers out of his hand. It took me a bit to eat them but once I was done, Tom took the cup and the wrapper from the crackers and left the room. Mack laid down while laying his head on my lower stomach as he wrapped his arms around my body. He always did this since he was a little boy and I would be hurt from training. He just wanted to make sure that I was okay. I smiled softly as I wrapped my arms around him as I let sleep take me over.
