go camp with the Students”

“Call him.”

 

All rangers came and we started waiting Alex. Nobody said a word even if they didn’t know what’s going on. They were just looking at each other. We heard steps on the stone floor. Alex came in annoyed

“What’s going on? What’s so important“ he asked 

“I think”  I said rudely “Your daughter is more important than your job, don’t you think? They took her. Just like Maria. There’s big amount of Lilac and siler scent on the stop, probably they poisoned her with it.”

“What? How?”

“She went to look around, she knows the whole territory... you know snakes or anything poisonous that than hurt the students, but after 10 minutes we heard he scream, we went but she wasn’t there.”

“Where were you?”

“With the group?” He sighed and closed his eyes

“Ok, NOBODY will transform, until we don’t find her. Ill contact the other Alphas.”

“I have to contact with her!”

“Hunters Styles. If they are here, they will come for us too. Use your Wolf senses but don’t turn into a wolf. Am I clear?”

Chapter 10

 

Catherina’s P.O.V

 

We are travelling. Where? I’m scared. I want Styles to be here, next to me. I don’t know them, unknown people, bad, killers, evil. We are travelling…

My hands and legs were tied up, just like my eyes.

“What you want from me. I have nothing to give you”

“We are hunters of vampires”

“Do I look like a vampire?”

“We need you to find them if you don’t find… 50 hits with a whip.”

“You’ll run after me?”

“One will ride you” Ride me? What? I’m not a fucking horse people to ride me.

“Where are we going?”

“Russia” said one of them and I heard a hit.

Russia, ha? There’s enough wolves there, why they take me? Because… I’m first girl Dan? Hm... This could be possible. We are travelling hours maybe even days now.

We stop, what a relief. They take off everything from the car, leaving me for the last. My turn came too. They were pushing me to walk. I almost fell on the ground on the porch. We go into the house. Ugh it smells awful, man... They pushed to stairs again, but they led down. They stopped me and removed the cloth off my eyes.

It’s dark basement. 1 lightbulb. It smelled awful here. There were some cages. 2 on 2. In there were staying people. Half naked just with 1 cloth. I looked them confused. 2 girls 1 guy. I saw one of the girls had same tattoo as mine. That’s Maria? They pushed me into one of the cages. My hands are untied now.

“You are the new girl they talked about” said the guy on English “France?” I nodded, Maria looked me confused. 

“You are Maria right?” I asked

“Where you know my name?”

“One pack, I heard about you. Stefan’s mate”

“Alex’s pack?”

“His daughter.”

“Styles?”

“Yea, since when you all here?”

“Year” said the boy

“4 months” Maria said

“6 months” the other girl said

“What they want from us?”

“Jordan” the guy introduced himself “we hunt vampires, I smell that you are new, since when?”

“1 month around”

“Acid scent. It hurt your noise when you smell it.”

“Tell me how’s Stefan!” Maria asked me.  

“He’s ok, has no girlfriend, quiet...”

“Did they beat you with whip? All of you?” I ask looking at the whip and chains around the basement. Everybody shook their head for no. The door open “Ok look, we are in Russia… from my senses we are around in middle of the country” I whisper but I couldn’t say anything more 

“You are lucky cupcake” One of the guy said. “You are free to go home.”

“If you go home… tell to Styles that I’m ok, not to worry, that I love him and if I ever come back… the dream will come true.”

“Sure” she said when they were tying her up. I leaned on the cage, and everybody started talking about themselves.

 

Maria’s P.O.V

 

We travelled few days, maybe even weeks, I have no idea, most of time I was asleep. My nose hurt from the Lilac.  I feel like I’ve lost most of my werewolf abilities which is annoying. My nose hurts and my eyes are sore… fucking Lilac. Why we should have weak spot..

We stop somewhere. They open one of the doors, pushing me off it and I instant smell our forest. Alex’s markers are everywhere

Home. I am home. I missed it so much.

They untied the cloth on my eyes and I looked the green forest. “Catherina I hope you get out of there alive.”

They get into the car and drive away and I make my way through the on the same old path. I looke my skin, pale, lacking vitamin D, just with one white short dress, all in dust and blood. My hair is tied up. My nails are all broken, I have and some bruises, but right now I don’t care.. I am home!

I look around, everything is the same. Bungalows, the square the shops and the big hall in the forest. I went through the gates and I saw all rangers on the table and 3 civilians

“How like that you don’t where is she!” the girl yelled “Mr.Dan you should find her…” she cried

My nose catch up first Stefan’s scent, my body his presence, and my eyes his bored face of all this but in same time really serious about it. Mine filled with tears.

“Stefan” I whispered trembling, I cover my mouth with hands. Everybody looked me, then Stefan with annoyance heard his name. The attraction, I missed this the most. His eyes without life look at me from my head to my toes, and then from nowhere the fire lighted up.

“Maria?” he asked and I nod. He stood up and hugged me, I thought he will break me into 2 pieces.

“Oh my god, you alright” he embraced my face with his hands and looked me again.

“I-I saw Catherina” I said sobbing “They bring her to us… they can kill her.. Alex... Kate... ”

“What you mean you?”

“We were 3 wolves, we were hunting vampires. If you don’t find, they will beat you up with a whip 50-60 times”

“Where is this place?”

“Catherina said Russia. I’m scared, she might get killed.”

“Come on, let’s get you some clothes and shower.” Said Stefan. We walked away but I stopped on the half way. Her words to Styles. He looked dead, lack of sleep, his eyes here darker, like black hole, without ending, like he can’t get out of there. He seemed lost.

“Styles…” he looked me “Cath told me, not to worry and that she loves you…” I saw his reaction, seems like they haven’t said it to each other. “And for some dream? It’s going to become true when she comes back” he smiled a bit.

 

After few days and the Meeting of the Alphas happened in Paris. In total 15 packs came. The Alpha and 2 of theirs.

“I know that this kind of meetings are rare” Alex said “Everybody of you has a life, but I now I need your help. I know also we had a lot of fights and argues, but this threatens and your packs. ”

“What you want from us?” one guy said, I looked him. Tall muscular, around… 300 years old I can say from his speech and tone. Green eyes and blond hair.

“My daughter got kidnapped, we are trying to find her, but all the remains, disappeared after the raid we had 2 days in a row. Maria...?” I stepped further

“I’m Maria” I said behind Alex, everybody looked at me. “They took me also, but before week and a half they let me go. I suppose they exchanged me with Catherina. They are hunters of vampires, every day we went to search, in their woods, if you don’t find, you get punishment. They beat you with a whip” I heard Styles taking deep breath to calm down “They ride us like horses, feed us 1 time per day with lilac in the food. Main scent you smell is lilac”

“In total how much you were all?”

“6… 2 died. 1 got killed, because he didn’t find 2 times in a row. 3 left. Then they took Catherina, the wolves are from everywhere. If you scream you won’t nobody will hear or notice. ”  

“You see the situation” Alex said “those are psychopaths, we should make a decision what to do.”

“The boy behind you. The mate?” I looked Styles again, his eyes were closed, and his hands were in fists. Alex nodded “No life in him as I can see, just anger. Well ladies and gentlemen. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want my son to be in this situation as this poor boy. If I see them. They are dead.”

 

Catherina’s P.O.V

 

I’m sitting here way too long, nobody is in this basement and the people are all free. Sucks to be alone, but I admit it its better one person to be in this situation than 4-5 people. I’m sleeping mainly, hoping to contact with Styles through the dreams, but nothing. He didn’t show up.

No idea what to do. I am all alone here. Everywhere, on the cages walls, are full in lilac, making me weak. Weak but angrier. How long am I going to be around here? Days? Weeks? Month? Maybe even years?

The door opened and the Lilac Guy showed up.

“Wake up, we gotta go.”

I miss my mother’s nice and gentle waking ups. He pulled me out of the cage hard and rude, because I was fighting. He took me outside, behind the house. It’s night. The forest behind the house is all in dark shades, making it looking creepy with ghosts and other mystic creatures. He opened a small bottle, instant the scent of Lilac hit my nose. He grab my jaw and putted the bottle in my mouth to drink it. I got no choice do I? When I drank it, I choke catching my throat. This shit hurts… and with that little bottle with bitter and burning taste… he provoked my transformation.

“So pretty…” he said and moved his hand over my fur, I growled and almost bit him. And consequences came. He trusted his knife on my shoulder, and moved it down to my back. Pain make me lay down on ground and whimper. Like I was some meat that it’s going to get on the grill and get eaten. After few minutes my wound closed.

And he sat over me. He hit my hips like I was a horse making me to run. But I didn’t move.

“Don’t make me use the knife again.” Just do as they say… I start running around, until I find the scent. Acid scent Jordan said. If I smell it, how my body will react? I never met a vampire. Until few weeks I didn’t even knew that werewolves exist too

The scent came across and my instinct for murdering overtook me, but the opposite side of me showed up too. The instinct of survival. I ran to left and I just followed it. My running became faster and faster… and the person on my back almost fell back. I stopped around 40 meters away from the vampire. The Lilac Guy raised his bow, and shot him in the chest.

The poor vampire became just a dust.

 

I walk in into the basement again, this time they gave
