Chapter 12. On Your Marks, Get Set...
I don't know what time my brothers and Bianca came back from whatever it was that they were doing but I was beyond happy to wake up being hugged by them both.
It was a comfort that I wasn't ready to give up. I don't think anything could prepare me for what I was about to give up, the sun was barely starting to rise but just like the moon the previous night it is hidden by the storm clouds.
The hunters weren't out yet but I could hear them, they were by the doors. They were antsy and excited while we were scared yet determined to beat them.
I look these last moments to look at my brothers, to memorise all of their features. But I didn't want to remember them how they looked right now, all of the colour gone from their skin that once used to soaked by the suns rays. Conner woke up first he opened his big icy blue eyes, we all shared the same eye colour, ice blue with a hint of silver in them. Almost as if a snowstorm was raging a war with the ocean in our eyes.
At least I could remember the both of them every time I looked in the mirror at my own eyes. He gave me a weak smile, neither of us had words to say that would make this any better.
I looked over at Lucas who was stroking his sisters hair, they both looked so alike, white blonde hair, naturally pale skin from what I can assume and hazel eyes almost golden but there was just too much brown in them to be considered golden.
Just like me Lucas didn't get a good nights sleep we kept waking up on and off. I started running my fingers threw Jordan's hair while he slept I needed something to do to occupy my mind apart from this hunt that was going to begin at any moment.
And with my luck, just as I thought it they came piling out of the warehouse that we were once trapped in. they came over to the fence to goad us, spitting insults at us. If anyone was asleep they definitely aren't now. Some went so far as to even spit on some of the witches. That didn't sit right with me.
Nor with my wolf that I was now feeling more of, I could feel her presence in my mind along with her feelings to these monsters. I knew that I still wouldn't be able to shift but maybe she would be able to aid me in my human form.
I would need her help to survive this.
Around us the vampires were snarling, as were we. The witches were shooting the hunters dirty looks along with every single person in this cage.
Today we would earn our freedom or die trying. No one would be captured again.
We all agreed that it would be freedom or death. There is no in between. We cannot go back in there, not now not ever.
Jordan helped me to my feet when this apparent leader stood up on his stage, which I think he believes it is his podium for all to worship at his feet. He looks smug enough to think that he is a god among men, but he is not our god, nor will he ever be.
"Welcome! Welcome!" His voice boomed out as the wind dragged his voice over too us. All of the hunters began cheering as he held a finger to his lips to shush them all. "We are all here today to celebrate our much needed hunt!" He was beaming as he said these words.
I moved closer to my brothers and even Lucas and Bianca something about him made me want to be hidden away safely where no one could ever find me.
I eyed a group of hunters as they moved towards the back of our cage, opposite of where this monster was talking, obviously there must be a way to take that back part of the fence down so that we can run out, or at least that is what I assume.
"Now do we all remember the rules?" The monster laughed out in a childish mocking tone. Of course we remember the rule do not be in between of the two signs because that means being captured again we wanted to be beyond the purple marker for us to be safe.
"Now don't expect us to play fair." He smirked as a shed to the left of him opened revealing all types of medieval weapons and guns. I swear to the moon I saw a mace in there. "All of these are made from silver, even the bullets but we have some that are not, those will be used by the ones who are waiting in between the two markers, to capture you all again!" The crowd of hunters roared to life again.
Of course this wouldn't be easy, of course there would be ones waiting for us near out points of freedom, but they couldn't be everywhere, they didn't have the manpower for that.
"Now, we will give you a ten minute head start, get ready." As he spoke the fence behind us came down with a large bang causing us all to flinch a little, as it wasn't expected. "Now if you step on toe out of your cage before I blow the horn, we shot to kill." He was mocking us now.
"You have a few minutes now before we begin. I suggest you say your last goodbyes now." I didn't need to be told by him to do that.
Tears were being shed. "Be brave." Jordan grabbed my shoulders looking directly into my eyes. I couldn't talk but so I just hugged him, soaking the rags that we were still dressed in with my tears, I wanted to be strong I really did but it was just so hard.
Even Lucas was crying while Hugging Bianca he didn't want to let go, it broke my heart a little. Before it broke even more when Conner spoke to me. "Remember we love you more then life itself. Go out and then come back with an army to burn this place down to the deepest pits of hell." He was crying but anger was starting to course threw him, he was always a hot head, which he will need right now, that anger will push him forward.
"Remember the plan." Jordan spoke to all of the wolves while eyeing some of the witches and Vampires. "We ensure that the younger ones of us all leave!"
Why was he eyeing the witches and vampires? Did he come up with another plan last night that involved them? Why would he have told me, and the rest of us if he did?
Conner waved Bianca back over to us after she and Lucas had there own private moment with Anton walking over as well, I felt bad for him in a way he had no one here to say his last words to, it must be so lonely for him. But then again it is better for him knowing that the ones he loves wont be involved in this.
A double-edged sword.
"Look out for each and be strong, we are counting on you both, if others get out and you find them, lead them to safety but do not risk your own lives." Jordan choked out a sob along with Conner and Bianca. "You are too important to us to die for nothing."
I wanted to hug them, all of them including Lucas, Bianca and Anton but we didn't get the chance. Our goodbyes were cut short by the monsters menacing voice.
"ON YOUR MARKS!" he shouted, not even giving us any warning that this was about to start.
Everyone rushed around trying to be the first ones out, but you didn't want to be first or last, running in the middle was the safest option. And I didn't trust these hunters to play by the rules.
"GET SET!" The hunters were moving around anticipation filling them, they looked like young children on Christmas morning and this was the best gift that they could ever get.
We were all crowded together now, pushing each other without meaning to the older wolves fell back along with some of the witches and vampires. But not all did, I think that they were trying to cage us in to protect us from running out too early.
"GGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" he shouted evilly as someone blew the horn.
Now was time for the real madness to begin.
