Rori-POV
"Stay here."
Adalwolf commanded and left the room before i could even protest.
Those things, the rouges possessed by the shadows are near my house, tearing through anything and everything that stands in their way. I can't just sit here and let them die.
I rushed over to my bed and quickly pulled out my quiver and silver bow from underneath it. After hiking the quiver over my shoulders, i briefly looked out the window to see Adalwolf fighting off two rouge.
Without a moment of hesitation, i opened my window, pulled a two silver arrows out, position them against the bow on either side of my fist on the grip and aimed. I let the butts of the arrows go and they both tore right through the two rouges that were on Adalwolf.
Adal stops briefly to look up at my window before turning around to help his people. I didn't follow though. Instead, i stayed right at my opened window and shot arrow after arrow, taking down rouge after rouge.
I saw a movment at the corner of my eye and turned to see Jammy down on the ground with a rouge wolf ontop of him.
I hesitated for a moment. This guy and his friends took pleasure in bullying me and now look at where he is. In the cluches of a rouge, about to die.
I thought about every single moment they kicked me around, every single time they made me scared s*itless, every single day they chased me through the school just for fun.
Then, with a frustrated growl, i aimed the arrow over to him and shot the rouge that was close to killing Jammy. His head snapped over to me but i'm already looking away.
I might not have the warmth of the pack anymore but these wolves don't deserve to die just because they were horrible to me. Because for a sad fact, i have always known that i was the only exception for their kindness. The rest of the time, they weres pretty good people.
I reached back for more arrows but i realized that i was out. I looked down to see many dead rouges shot with my arrows and i realized i needed to go down there to plug them out.
I turned around to go to my door but stopped dead on my track. It's her. The white woman with long ashy hair and gray lifless eyes.
I froze as i saw that same crule smirk that she always wore and let out a loud gasp, almost a scream, as i felt a force push me back. I went straight through the window and down two floor before hitting the cold ground.
I think i might have blacked out for a tiny second. My vision immideatly got dark but returned as quickly as it went out.
I know for a fact that i have broken a couple of bones and hit my head real hard.
If i truly was a human, this fall would have killed me. But my lioness kept me strong for a few seconds before i saw a large shadow above me.
It grabbed me by my hair and started to drag me away. My hand reached out back to hold onto something to stop the pain on my scalp.
The shadow pulls me past the dead rouges and i reached out for a silver arrow i was lucky enough to get. As soon as the arrow is in my hand, i pushed a rage of fire out from my lioness and into the arrow before stabing the shadow.
It immideatly burtsed into flames and i ducked my head down as to not get burned.
It took me a couple of minutes to finally look up. But what i saw terrified me.
It was a large net made of full iron. Two shadows throw the net over me and i'm instantly screaming for my life.
My desperate scream for help finally got some attention and a couple of rage wolf packs' wolves tried to move towards me.
Scream after scream ripped out of my throat as the iron burned through my skin and flesh and made me bleed all over the field.
I closed my eyes shut and begged the moon goddess to save me, to show me murcy. I can feel my lioness dying right inside of me. Her voice getting thiner and thiner until she was barely even there.
A sob escaped my lips and tears ran down the bridge of my nose and the side of my head. The iron was too much. It was going to kill me.
I can hear Adalwolfs' voice screaming out for me but i couldn't look up. I couldn't move. I felt numbed by the pain but i can still hear myself crying out.
It was just as my breath tried to stop that the iron net got thrown off me and a raging fire ingulfed the air above my cold body. It's the same flame i felt the night the shadows tried to drag me out of my bed back in silver fang pack.
I curled my body in a tight ball but mustered up enough strenght to open my eyes. The flames kept on coming, burning every single rouge and shadwo insight. I traced my eyes over the fire to the source and my heart damn near stopped beating by the sight in front of me.
It's a f*cking Dragon...
***
My head was swimming and my heart was beating restless. My breath became shallow and i tried to control it as it was hurting my entire body to move my ribs too much.
I fought against my eyelids to open them but it was being a challenge, a frustrating one at best.
"Rori?"
I heard a distant voice and a warm hand cupping my cheek. I winced at the sudden contact and felt the burn sting the side of my face.
"Rori." I heard the voice again and it gave me enough strength to open my eyes to see a very puffy eyed Adalwolf, leaning over me.
"Goddess. Rori, love, are you okay?" He asked and i looked deep in me to feel my lioness. But there was nothing.
I tried calling out to her over and over again but it was dead silence. She was gone as if she was never even there in the first place.
My eyes filled with tears and before i could even stop it, a scream ripped out of my throat.
I slapped my hand over my mouth and screamed into my palm repeatedly. I felt so...empty.
I sobbed for a few seconds before i felt Adalwolfs' arms gently help me to a sitting position and pull me into a hug.
Even in my mates touch, my lioness didn't respond. My cry got louder and louder until it started catching attention from outside the room. But i didn't care. I couldn't care.
My lioness is gone...dead?
Why? What did i do to deserve all of this.
"Rori?" I heard Adalwolfs' voice softly call out and i can hear confussion in his voice. I kept sobbing as i painfuly wrapped my arms around his waist and hang on to him like my life depended on it.
Adalwolf might not know why i was breaking down and he didn't ask either. Instead, he carefully tightned his arms around me and even though the burns were being a pain, i didn't want him to let me go.
My lips were wide open as a broken and chocked scream spilled out from between them.
"Whyyyy... Why do you hate me so much?"
I screamed out to the moon goddess, the one that was said to have created shifters.
"Why..." my body constantly shook as Adalwolf tried to calm me by rocking me back and forth.
My voice grew thiner and thiner until even my throat couldn't take it anylonger.
I can feel my body pressing more into Adalwolfs'and getting limp against him. And before i could even register it, i blacked out.
