Chapter 39 Blood After The Dream
Chapter 39
Jax's POV
Our bodies collapsed into each other in bed. We were both breathing hard. Sweat covered us up. My chest rose and fell repeatedly.
I turned my face back to Rosa whose face too was glowing. It was the first time we had shared the same bed since Passover night.
A huge smile spread across her face bigger than any smile I had seen in months of being together.
I had turned my head to the other side of the bed facing the wall while I had her back.
My eyelids grew heavy. So heavy that both closed up. I slept off. Then we slept off.
Then everything changed. I opened my eyes, but I wasn't in bed anymore.
Tall trees surrounded me on every side. Their tree trunks were wide as if three giant wolves were standing together. The branches above blocked the sky. Everywhere was dark, so dark that I could not see my own hand.
Hello, is there anywhere here?” I managed to speak. Though my voice, shaky, it bounced back to me. The echo travelled through the tall vegetation in the forest.
Then I spun around, how do I get here?
Then I heard Rosa's voice too. Though closeby. She sounded scared too.
I am here!” Her voice came from the right.
I turned. Saw her. She stood between two massive trees. I drifted towards her. I stumbled through the darkness. Even my foot cut a root I almost fell.
We ran to each other and grabbed each other's hand tight.
What is this place?” Rosa asked, looking everywhere.
I don't know." I managed to reply, but my heart hammered behind my chest.
We stood there holding our hands. Everywhere was quiet. No chirping of birds. No insects buzzing.
Then we heard. At first it was low and not resounding like something was being dragged on the floor.
Then footsteps. Slow footsteps coming through the woods.
We stared at each other's faces for a moment. Our breath hitched. Fear descends.
Rosa fingers nails digged into her palm.
We turned, our attention drifted to where the creepy sound was coming from.
Then a shape moved in the shadow. Closer to us. Clearer. She was woman
Tall and bony to the extent that some of her skeletons were showing through her flesh.
Her hung dirty, mud covered her face and body top to the bottom. She looks like someone who lives in a slump.
I have never come across such a dirty creature in my entire existence.
Rosa and I looked at each other in horror, our hearts skipped a bit as we held each other's arms along the wooden pathway.
The lady's footstep was remote, she placed one leg on the ground at a time before the other and then turned to us.
I looked at her again, lips battered, like she had been beaten, a few parts of her frontal set of teeth broken while others were removed. She was disheveled, she wore nothing. Then clasped her hand around the chain she was dragging.
Then she pointed her hand towards us, first towards me, and moved gradually to Rosa to move closer to her and keep distance tight.
Our heart had almost jumped from our mouth, we looked at each other again for the umpteenth time, and took a few steps closer to her.
Suddenly she threw a long chain at Rosa. It caught Rosa in her left leg. Rosa who was kneeling besides me didn't see that coming.
I flinched up from where I stood about to escape, I didn't know where the other chain came from. Then the other chain caught me in the right leg.
She dragged both of us to her, dragging us on the ground.
In a twinkle we got to her side, she brought her hand out with fingernails and tore Rosa's lower stomach and removed her womb.
Like her long dirty finger nails had been designed for this. Then stretched right her hand and reached out for my organ.
Nooo…. “ Both of us cried out.
At the same time we woke up. Our eyes locked on each other.
We were panting. Sweating hard like someone who made out of hell.
I stood from the bed. Then I saw Rosa clutching her stomach.
Noo…” Rosa coughed out.
Then I stared between her legs. Blood trickling out.
Then she fainted.
“Somebody help!”
Beep… Beep…
The sound machine hummed in my ears. We quickly transferred Rosa to the neighboring pack, where the healer who was attending to her.
I stood beside her when the doctor arrived. The beeping of the machine made some funny sound into my ears.
The healer stepped into the room with a file in his hand.
I had moved Rosa to the neighboring pack. Since the only clinic in the pack was run by Mila. After her death, everything had been closed. The pack members didn't have any options but to travel to the next pack.
“Your highness, I am sorry to tell you that, your Luna may likely not be able to carry her pregnancy to term, because of the report here…”
I looked at him as he checked a piece of document in his file clipped together.
“… Because her womb had been completely damaged
