Five weeks later.It has been weeks since Asher and I arrived back after visiting my parents, each day has been busier than the last. Every morning, I have woken up at 4am to begin my training with Cameron, those training sessions lasting until 7am. When I went into this whole training with Cameron, I was under the impression that he’d be his jokey self and we’d have a great time. Yes, he does have his moments in between exercise where he makes a joke, but most of the time, he’s serious.~~Cameron stood in front of me with his claws extended, we had just done an exercise with swords as the vampires are known to use them, but he wanted me to be prepared for everything, so now he was using hand to hand combat.I was able to block his first hits, we had also worked so hard on my speed, so I’d be able to dodge any of the enemies blows to my body. I was able to grab his arm as spin him around, but when he turns to face me, his claw cuts into my arm where a long cut sat.“Ouch.” I say taki
Within a matter of ten minutes, all of the woman and children were safely hiding in the basement, while I stood with Thomas and all of the fighters waiting for my call. Going into this, I thought I would be absolutely, terrified standing here about to set off but to not even have Asher beside me. But perhaps it was because I knew what I was doing or, they had taken Asher from me, but I was more than ready to make each and every one of those disgusting monsters pay for everything they had done to so many people.Thomas walks over to me with that same worried look on his lips, he wasn’t in armour as he was one of the fighters which will be in wolf form to take on more of these beasts.“You look ready.” He smiles coming to a stop right in front of me, I only nod my head staring back into the forest a sea of trees filling my view, somewhere in there was Asher being forced to watch all of this unfold.I couldn’t mind-link him to even ask if he was okay, it was as though there was something
A week soon flies by after the war, my days being anything but relaxing. The first day was spent with me being checked over by a doctor. No matter how many times I would tell Asher that I was fine, he insisted that a doctor check me over just in case I had been nipped by a vampire and just didn’t know it! Yes, I know how that sounds but he wouldn’t have any of it.Once the doctor found that I was okay, like I had repeatedly told Asher, I spent the next day speaking with the pack members. They were all overjoyed and offered me kind words and hugs for saving them, I smiled thanking them but also reminding everyone I had not been fighting alone. They had all of the fighters and Thomas to thank also, which everyone was more than happy to do.Speaking of the fighters, none of our men were killed and only one had been injured but not severely. I visited him in the hospital where he was still up and about, due to make a full recovery.The celebrations had not only been within our pack, many
“How does this one look?” Tanya asks me holding up a short yellow in colour summer dress, she held it against her body whilst taking a look in the mirror, this task she had done many times over already.“As I had said the fourth time you have held up that dress, it would look perfect on you.” I smile turning to look at her where she only shrugs her shoulders, she has a tendency of being very meticulous when it comes down to what she wears for any event. “I want to make sure I have the correct outfit in case John pops the question tonight, my engagement photos must be only perfection.” She exclaims throwing the summer dress behind her where it lands on the floor, but once she had registered the sentence which had left her lips, she takes a glance over to me a little worried.I roll my eyes with a little smile using this method to let her know I was okay; she smiles before I turn to look back into the mirror to make sure my makeup wasn’t running due to the heat. “It’s okay for you, le
The morning soon came which meant it was time to leave, by tonight I’ll be back home getting ready to start work again tomorrow. This week has been the most fun I have had in years which makes it bittersweet to leave, yes, I miss my home and can’t wait to see everyone. But in some odd way, it feels as though this place is where I really belong and leaving it is causing my heart to ache. Being here in the middle of nowhere deep in the woods, has been the only place I haven’t had to deal head on with what had happened. There are no reminders of what I have been through or have lost, it’s as though time has frozen in a sense and I’m finally, able to breath. I had just packed my bag and was scanning my room in case I have forgotten something, the bedroom which I had called home with a week only remaining me the freedom I felt whilst staying here, which will soon be taken away once I return to normal life. When I see I had everything, I pick up my bag and head for the door. Once I was in
I soon give up my attempts to smack the door hard enough to either get someone’s attention to come and free me, or somehow break through the door myself. I even attempted to climb out of the window, but as like I had expected, it was also locked. The only thing which I could do now was pace, my worried thoughts of what Asher may want with me begin to consume my mind. The many questions which I had also swirling around my head in the process, why has this man taken me? What does he want with me? Was this whole encounter planned or was it spontaneous? There are so many unknowns, but all I’m able to do is sit in this room and wait for whatever is planned to happen to happen! After what feels like hours of pacing, I take a seat at the very foot of the bed with a sigh. My hands hurt incredibly, but I was much too nervous to even take a glance at the damage. I could feel there was an object piercing through my skin, which told me it would be better if I take a look. With a deep breath in
I jolt awake to the sun blinding me, I sit up straight a little where I was initially disorientated, my brain hadn’t quite remembered what had happened yesterday and where I was. But after a few short seconds, realisation of what did indeed happen came to mind. I sigh looking around the room, when I first arrived here, I was much too preoccupied with the matter of escaping this place that I didn’t take time to have a look around. The room was quite big, probably double the size of my bedroom back at my apartment. The layout of the room seemed very rustic, whoever designed this place really liked the country vibe. There was a door in front of the bed which I discovered was the bathroom, which was also huge with a shower and a bath! To the left of that door stood a dark wood chest of drawers, which I’m unsure if there are any clothes in there to start with. To the right of the bed stood a large bookshelf, many dark coloured books to match the dark wood of the objects in the room, it’s
I sat on the window ledge looking out into the distance, what seemed to be like such a lovely day was mocking me in a sense. I wanted nothing more than to leave this stuffy room and feel the warm sun on my skin, but I also want nothing more than to eat something and especially, have something to drink. I turn my head back to bed where the plate of food still sat, the glass of water on the beside table seemed to mock me in a sense too. I can’t allow Asher to see how much I really needed that; the wall of residence has to stay up. But the mouthwatering food looking back at me was causing that stance to be hard, perhaps a tiny unnoticeable bite wouldn’t hurt. I was about to climb from the window seat when I heard the key being placed into the door, I snap out of my trance and put my legs back up on the windowsill and turn my head to look out into the distance. After a few short seconds, I hear the door open where I turn my head once again. But to my shock and slight disappointment, it
