Vexed Chapter 18
The days flew by and there were no leads as to where David could be. Everything was mostly a daze, I tried to hold conversations with Liam the best I could, but had no luck. He knew something was up, but stayed out of it the best he could; he seemed to be able to read my mind with the whole situation. Knowing to keep his distance on the matter but on the same note, he showed that he was concerned. It was like he knew that I wanted him to stay out of it and try to continue on as normal. On the bright side of things he was showing compassion his special ways, by making his own breakfast and cleaning up without being told. He even hugged me once or twice just to offer me some form of comfort. It worked for the little while it lasted and it was good to know that Liam cared so much.The passing days didn't wave my determination, and the nights were torture. Staying up all night long, I couldn’t control the crying; I tried to stay away from where Liam was so that I didn’t wake him. Although
Vexed Chapter 19
I started driving home when I came up with a plan to try and sneak into Dimietry’s lair and sneak David out without getting noticed. I would put on a cloaking spell and sneak through the entrance, hiding behind every rock and wall I could find. Then I would wait for the coast to be clear and take David out of his restraints before putting a cloaking spell on him. By the time they would notice his disappearance; we’d be long gone and off to safety. The more I thought about this plan, the more ridiculous it seemed. I didn’t even think there was such a thing as a cloaking spell, let alone sneaking in there without the changelings noticing my scent. I drove home as fast as I could, thinking that I would know what to do when I got there. There wasn’t much time to prepare anything and every idea I had seemed to be flawed. Then there was a problem being that, as I pulled up the drive way, I still had nothing. When I got home I decided to go down to the coffee shop and read one more paper be
Vexed Chapter 20
We left the coffee shop, wasting no time in our search for David and Dimietry. I practiced my spells, while Tony and Sylvia packed weapons to aid them in battle. We each made sure we had on a warm pair of jeans and unlike them; I put on a warm sweater and slipped a hoodie over it for extra warmth. Werewolves don’t need extra garments to keep warm, the blood flows through their veins so fast it’s nearly impossible for them to get cold. Tony lifted the duffle bag over his shoulder as Sylvia and I put on our jackets. We set out east on foot. The cold hit my face bitterly; the weather was beginning to turn as November drew closer. I took a deep breath through my nose. I wanted to smell as much of the autumn air as I could before we went underground. We made our way through the woods, sniffing every rock, leaf and tree on our path to make sure we were going in the right direction. As the sun began to set and the darkness rose to the sky, Tony and Sylvia transformed so they could see bett
Vexed Chapter 21
They didn’t notice me as I came up to the clearing, so I stopped for a minute to watch them. They were so engrossed with each other that even on lookers would believe they were the only two in the world. Laughing at each other’s jokes and playfully pushing one another as their eyes gleamed with such passion and happiness. They were more than in love, they were soul mates bound by destiny to be together; they were one long before they had ever met. I leaned up against a large tree nearby and continued to watch them; I couldn’t help but be fascinated by how well they communicated with each other. They were beautiful on their own but they were even more beautiful as a pair. I didn’t realize how long I had been watching them before I looked up at the night sky to see the stars. Looking around me to see my surroundings, I slowly started towards where Sylvia and Tony were with a smile on my face and a little bounce in my step. They made me feel so good; I didn’t care if it showed. I came
Vexed Chapter 22
I couldn’t fall asleep, I just sat up and watched Tony and Sylvia curled up next to each other. Their ears twitching every time a new sound was made in the distance, only lifting their heads if the sound got close. It usually only turned out to be an animal or, if it was really far away, a hunter turning over in the leaves; all together it was fascinating to watch them lying together. Aside from that, the only movement they made was once in a while kicking their feet back from a nightmare or two they were having. They slept in wolf form incase danger came near so they could react without having to waste any time with transforming in and out of wolf-form. I lasted about two hours before I finally dozed off. I woke up alone, the fire was put out and Tony and Sylvia were nowhere to be found. The heavy fog that surrounded the area made it extremely difficult to smell anything. Everything was in a grayish light; even the sky offered nothing in the color department. All I saw were clouds,
Vexed Chapter 23
A vision hit me in the chest and nearly knocked me to the ground. The changelings were here, and they stopped for a rest. David was with them and he was hurt. They tied his hands together with barbed wire, led him on a barbed wire leash with a barbed wire choker collar like he was some kind of wild animal. Blood was dripping from his hands and neck where the wire prongs on the barbed part of the wire rope had stabbed him. The pain in his eyes shot right into my chest as they pulled on the leash for fun while they laughed at him savagely; and if he didn’t move fast enough they struck him with a barbed wire whip with a ball on the end wrapped in the same barbed wire. He tried to hide the pain as much as he could not to give them the gratitude of torturing him. A force of wind knocked me away from the tree, forcing me out of my vision before I could tell which way they were heading, but that didn’t matter because we were at least on the right path. I came out of the vision crying my eye
Vexed Chapter 24
My thoughts trailed off and my mind was suddenly blank. I kept breathing slowly to get my heart rate down before opening my eyes. The air was cool but the sun was shining. It would have been a perfect day to roll around in the leaves and make some warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream and caramel. My stomach began to growl and I noticed I was starting to get hungry. We had a ways to go yet so I didn’t want to act on that urge until it was time. I knew that I was going to need something big to fill my stomach tonight. I shook my head and struggled to gather my thoughts before turning my attention from the sky. “Let’s go now.” I said, I couldn’t waste anymore time. I had to get to David before they took it too far. I couldn’t let him die, especially not because of me. Tony and Sylvia gave me a look of understanding and we all got up and trudged on. Soon enough we were close to the cave that Dimietry was hiding in. The night had fallen on us, though, and we all
Vexed Chapter 25
I saw a small glimmer of light off to my left and began to follow it. It was a soft, orange glow as if there were a fire off in the distance. As I got closer to the growing orange glow, the screams got louder. My heart pounded as I anticipated finding David and bringing him back out of the cave, if I could find my way out of the cave. I felt the heat coming from the orange glow and I knew it wasn’t much farther. I inched up as close to the entrance of the room as I could. There were a couple of changelings in the room so I pressed myself up closer against the limestone cave wall to avoid detection. I inched along the wall and peaked around the corner to find David chained to the wall in barbed wire. He was doubled over in pain as the changelings whipped him and kicked him over and over again while laughing. His face was so cut up and swollen, the spit running down his chin as he cried for them to stop. They just looked at him and laughed kicking harder this time. My heart started to
