Chapter 14
Eliana Adler's POV

My head feels heavy, I slowly open my eyes and the darkness engulfed me, I squinted my eyes to see properly through the darkness. My stomach retched, my throat dry, I felt weak. With a slow dawn I remembered. Chloe hit me with something? I realised that blood was dripping down from my head. I tried to move my hand but it was tightly tied with a rope, including my legs. Why didn't she killed me still now? She must have ulterior motives. I wish I could break free from this rope but I don't possess such strength, I am practically weak and fragile. The blood lose from my head is making me dizzy. I need to stay awake, I can't fall asleep now.

A distant thud echoed across the cold, hard floor, ricocheting into my ear. Someone was coming. I need a plan, I have to get out of here. The door swing open, I squinted my eyes due to the light, I saw a silhouette standing at the end of the room. The silhouette came forward to me, it was none other than fake Chloe, she had a smirk on her face. Think something, I need a plan.

"Wh...what...you want..fr..from..me?" I said stuttering due to lack of water. She put a finger on her lips and sushed me.

"I want to use your power for my own use isn't it obvious? If I can modified your power then I can transfer it to myself" Chloe said, sounding evil. She can do that? But Zachary said the power is only in my blood, which means nobody else can't use it. Did Zachary lied to me? Or maybe this skin walker doesn't even know about my power properly. Okay it can be an advantage or an disadvantage for me.

"How? It's...no.. not possible" I said, trying not to make her more angry. She started laughing, her laugh echoed through the room which raise the hair on my back. Now I think I am at a disadvantage.

"So you know how unique of a power you have? That's great, then I don't need to explain unnecessary things" Chloe said while taking out a IV needle. What the heck? What is she upto? Oh god I think she is going to take my blood. I need to know what is she trying to do, how is she going to take my power?

"Do you even know anything? I think you are just trying to scare me" I said in a low voice, my throat still aching. Maybe this way she will tell me her plan. She smirked and suddenly put the needle into my wrist veins, forcefully.

"Ouch! That hurts, you definately don't know how to put that" i said in a slight angry as well as scared tone. My eyes widen as I saw her putting a bucket and connecting the butterfly needle with it. My blood started filling the bucket slowly. Is she crazy? How much of my blood did she need? I am already weak and if she take this much of my blood, I am definately gonna die. But what can I do?

"Fill that bucket up and all I need to do is chant some magical words" she said with a smile. After saying that she left, leaving the door ajar. I need to find a way out of here. I need to contact Zachary, but I don't even have my phone. Okay focus! I am a seer maybe there is more to the power. I can see people's true form by the aura then maybe if i can remember Zach's aura, I can contact him. I just need to tell him my location. But I lack strength, I cannot even properly open my eyes, I just want to sleep and let the darkness consume me.

Suddenly I saw a faded light, Zachary's face float in front of my eyes. He was talking to a man whose face was hazy. Is this real?

"Help" I try to form a word forcefully out of my mouth. He suddenly look at my direction with a shocked face. But it look like he was not able to see me.

"I..am..za" before i could finish my sentence the faded light disappeared and once again I was left in this dark room. I hope he heard me properly, but I couldn't tell him my location. Maybe that was my only chance to survive and I lost it. I look at the bucket which was already half filled. The door open and enter Chloe with a huge book. She came closer to me and place the book on the dusty table in front of me. The book seemed ancient and old, it also had some symbols on it. But one symbol that I recognised right away was the Celtic symbol. That symbol again? It's not a coincidence, this all must be connected somehow. I must be a part of it too.

"Wha..t is..th..that book?" I asked while drowsing.

"It's not just a book, it's called Druid, it's an ancient book of powerful dark magics and one of the magic tell how to transfer a seer power, but there is only one problem" said Chloe with a frustrated look. One problem? So there is something that can stop her, i can still survive.

"What problem?" I asked quickly. She raised her left eyebrow.

"So excited to hear my problem? First let me ask you, did you really thought I would get infected by the virus? I am always two step ahead of those wolves stupid ideas" she said while aggressively taking the needle out of my left hand and putting it on my right hand. My hands turning paler and paler, the blue veins looked like would popped out of my hand. My whole body was aching and the drowsiness overpowered me.

"What was his name again? huh Zachary...the guy you trust the most. Have you ever asked him about his pack? Did you know he killed his own pack members and his beloved girlfriend?" She said with a smirk and pride. I couldn't believe my ears, she must be lying. I was shocked, no that's not the truth. She is trying to break me.

"Judging by your expression, you didn't know that information. Poor girl, falling for a guy who is not at all worth of your love. Why do we always fall for the wrong guy? It sucks how the world works" Chloe said with a fake concerned look. No! Zach cannot kill anyone, he is a nice guy. What does she mean by falling for him? I don't like him, we are just.....fr no, acquaintance. We are not even friends or anything.

"Now for the problem that you were so eager to hear, it's just that I need some item to open this book. All this year, only three witches were able to open this book and now I'll be one of them, thanks to you" she said and took out a little glass bottles which was filled with some unrecognisable things. But the place smelled like dead rats. Chloe grab some of my hair and cut it with a scissor. My blood was not enough, now she wants my hair too.

"I have all the ingredients, teenage girl hair, phoenix feather, golden egg, seer blood, ashes of the oldest living human being and the last problem ingredient, blood of a rogue alpha, the rarest blood of them all" she said with an evil chuckle. Her problem is blood of a rogue alpha? It's a good thing then, maybe it will take her some time to collect. Meanwhile I can try to use all my left energy to contact Zachary.

"If you think I couldn't collect the blood, you are kinda dumb, cause you are the one whose going to help me to collect it" she said with a wink. What? I am confused. How am I going to help her? I'll never do anything that can help her if it's within my power.

"You seem confused, let me explain to you. Your dear friend Zachary is a rogue alpha, shocking right? The best part is that, you just contacted him to come right into my trap. This is the best day ever" said fake Chloe with a huge smile on her face, her face lit up with joy. A...rogue alpha? So many secrets, if he told me that before I wouldn't even be in this situation. Now what's a rogue alpha, I am new to this supernatural job and I am not even a werewolf to know all this term. But I am guessing he is an alpha with no pack, then how is he an alpha? He killed his own people? If it's true what Chloe is saying then there must have some reason for him to do it. Maybe his pack members were infected and he had no other choice. I cannot judge him based on this skin walker's lies. Shit! I am in a messed up situation and maybe Zachary is the only one who can save me right now. Does he even care? Will he come? If he didn't come then Chloe will not be able to transfer my power to her. I guess it's for good if he didn't come. Would it be a peaceful death?

Nan and grandpa must be sad and scared about my disappearance, shit they are not even going to found my body.

"I guess I told you too much, now it's time for me to prepare the potion" she said while putting the phoenix feather into a wood bowl. My head felt light headed and the dizziness was taking over me. I wish I could do something, this skinwalker killed so many people and even destroyed my life, I cannot let it win. I saw the bucket beside me, it was almost full. If I spil it then she wouldn't be able to use it. Slowly I tried to put my leg closer to the bucket, I had no energy left in my body. But with slow effort I finally kicked it with whatever force I had left in me. All of my blood spilled on the dark dusty floor with a low splash sound.

"What the fuck did you do? Oh my precious blood, you waste it all" she said while trying to safe whatever was left in the bucket. I tried to smile but I had no energy left in me.

"You are a fool girl! Now I am going to take all the blood that you have inside of you. I am going to suck it all out until you are dead" she said with anger. I started trembling with fear, I knew that was coming but I had no other choice to stop her. Let's hope she didn't get much blood for her spell. She quickly get up and with full force she shoved the needle inside my vein, little blood gushed out of it, I screamed in pain but there was not much sound cause my throat was soar. She didn't stop there, she took out another needle and shoved onto my left side veins. At this point I remember my mother and father's face, they looked so happy and proud of me. Maybe I am dreaming. I could see them helping me out when I was younger and messing things up. Mom making delicious food for me and dad helping me to ride bicycle. From the corner of my eyes I could see Ryder playing with his toy car. I smiled and a drop of tear roll down my cheek. I miss you, all of you wish I could go back and see you once again.

Suddenly everything started to fade, wait don't leave me, I want to come too. Why do you always have to leave me? I run behind them but they were fading and fading away. At one point everything turns dark and pitch black, i felt like I was choking on my blood.

"Stop!" the last word I could scream out and after that I fell completely unconscious.
