The past 2 weeks flew by with everyday being the exact same like the day before.

The doctor would come check my wounds in the morning, giving me medicine against infection and changing the bandages on the big wounds. Then there would come an older woman to help me wash for as far I could wash myself with all the bandages. Three times a day Eros would come by with food and we would do small talk, but never again have we talked like that one time in my first days of captivity.

The last few days I had the privilege of going on a small walk on the second floor with bodyguard 1 and 2. My door isn't locked anymore and now there is only one guard before the door now.

My wounds had healed pretty good. Most of the bandages weren't needed anymore. I gained more trust from Eros but his pack members still looked murderous my way.

Today was the day. A few days ago I managed to steal a scalpel from the doctors case without him seeing it. I hid it in a small hole in the matras. I also managed to break a piece of wood from the bottom of the bed. And every time I get to go on a small walk on the second floor I memorised the hallways to get downstairs. Everyday I go on a walk around six pm. Then there is only one guard, me and guard one then have to wait on guard two.

Then is when my plan goes in action.

I wait patiently till it's 6 pm, I've had my daily doctor appointment, visit of the old women and my three talk moments with Eros.

When it's 6 pm guard one knocks on the door to let me know it's time. I quickly grab the scalpel and put it behind the band of my pants. Then I grab the piece of wood and hold it behind my back.

I walk to the door and open it and before he can greet me I hit him hard and the head with that piece of wood.
I let it fall and quickly run down the hallway, taking every turn as if I'm on automatic pilot. I grab the scalpel out of my pants and run downstairs. My breath is heavy and I can't hear anything except the beating of my heart.

My heart sinks to the pit of my stomach as i see a few wolves talking in the hall with their backs towards me. I have to do something if I want to make it out of here. So I do the most logical thing. I grab the first person in my path, holding the scalpel against his throat, startling him.

"What the-" The moment the guy feels the cold metal against his throat he shuts up, but it was already to late, the others had heard him and are now circling around me, trying to corner me.

One guy steps forward and a scowl appears on my face as I see Erik. "I knew you couldn't be trusted. I will rip you apart." His fangs show and the others take on a threatening look.

"Don't you dare come any closer or I will kill him." Although I sound convincing, I can't kill anymore and I won't.

Two wolves want to lunge for me but Erik holds them back. His eyes turn blurry for a moment before his hazel eyes shine through again.

"He's coming and I know for certain he won't forgive you this time."

I tighten the grip on my 'hostage' making him wince.

In less than a minute I see Eros stalking his way over. He pushes through the others and comes standing very close.

"What are you doing?" His voice is demanding and his stance tense. I gulp, sweeping my eyes over the others.

"Let me go! I'll go far away from here, I won't bother you or your pack. You need to let me go or this guy will be killed." He tightens his jaw not saying anything. "You know I won't hesitate."

The others look at him but his eyes stay on me. It feels like an eternity before he gives his answer.

"Let her through." I release a breath that I didn't even know that I was holding.

"Walk." I say into the guys ear. He snarls at me but carefully walks forward, through the wolves and straight to the door. When I'm at the door I turn around to them.

"I promise you won't see me again." I look straight into Eros eyes. "I'm sorry." The last part I whisper, a lonely tear rolling down my cheek.

I push the guy away from me and drop the scalpel. I turn around and as quick I can I run outside, straight into the woods. I don't hear anyone following me but I keep running.

My breath is super heavy, and I feel that my body is really out of shape after my two weeks 'vacation' to the werewolves.

I run blindly towards the cottage hoping that Luke will still be there.

I run through bushes and tree branches, scratching myself even more. When I finally see the cottage I breathe a breath of relief. "Luke! Luke!" I run breathlessly towards the house, up the steps and I knock rapidly on the door. "Luke, open up it's me!" 

When the door finally goes open I fly into his arms. His warmth is soothing and I can't help the tears from down. I sob into his shoulder. He hesitantly strokes my hair and back.

"It's really you..." His voice sounds broken and I nod into his shoulder. He wraps his arms tightly around me, almost cutting of my circulation. "It's you! Oh my god, what happened to you? I can't believe you're alive!" I hear his voice break.

I let go of him, looking him straight into his eyes. "I'm back, but we need to get out of here!" I push him softly out of the way while I brush the tears from my face.

I hear him following me. "What do you mean 'need to get out of here'?" I turn back around towards him with a sigh and he closes the door.

"That was the deal I made with Eros. He lets me go and I disappear."

His eyes get the size of saucers. "He...he let you go? Like that?" I scoff and smile at him.

"Not just like that. I've been hold captive for two weeks in a room with guards all around me." 

"What happened there?" I look briefly down and then back up.

"I think you'll need to sit down for this."
