CHAPTER 149: SLEEP
FREYA'S POV:
Luckily for me he actually shuts up unable to come up with anything else once it's clear that I'm not going to budge at all.
I take both his hands and with enough force smash against the chains with the same stone, continuously; hard with my stored up anger with whatever messed up fate I was born with.
Like I don't even get to rest for a week, or month before something major is pulled over me.
Eventually it begins to crack under the pressure and finally breaks apart giving both his arm freedom.
Instead of standing up, however, he falls back against the wall groaning in much more pain and clutching at his chest.
"Silas!" I reach for him pulling him up again.
"Freya... you should know, they gave me another toxic dose of wolfsband before locking me up. I can barely move or get us out of here. This is your last chance to get out of here and save yourself." He says in a strained voice breaking out in cold sweat.
"No way... you're coming with me one way or another." I say trying hard to hold back my tears.
I can imagine just how much pain he's in, just how much he needs helps while the poison wreaks havoc in his system.
"Try to lean on me." I say helping him to his feet.
I only hope that my conviction is strong enough to drag both of us out of here, bracing myself for the impact of his weight that could potentially cripple me, but another surprise hits.
I can support him unto his feet with much more ease than I had imagined. It's as though I've really developed some sort of superhuman strength over the past few hours.
No time to be grateful however.
I carefully help me walk out of this dreary room slowly, lifting half of his body weight while he holds the rest.
We walk slowly until we reach the exit and I pull open the door.
Adam rises to his feet once he spots us emerging quickly walking forward to take Silas off my back.
Luckily no one has noticed us yet.
Mother luck seems to be really looking out for me today.
"Is he okay?" Adam asks.
"Barely. He's poisoned. We need to take him out of
here, fast." I comment.
Without a second to waste we begin walking down the same path we had come from.
I hoping Xena and Lucas are okay and they've successfully found the King and Queen without running into Elena or the Wizard.
That would just be the worst case scenario.
They could possibly handle Elena... but then there's the wizard and his mind games I've witnessed firsthand, they'd need to be prepared to face him.
A few more minutes walking and I just begin hearing my name being called in the faintest whisper,
beckoning out to me.
I look round and see nothing passing it off as my imagination.
The voice whispers my name again, more harshly and ominous.
It's call grows louder in my head with every step, and I'm quickly growing more fatigued than before even though I'm not the one holding Silas anymore.
I stop walking all together.
"Are you okay?" Adam asks turning to me watching me gasping for air.
"We aren't alone anymore." I point out staring at the void right in front of us making him in the same
direction.
Her cackle comes first before we see her. It echoes against the empty walls purposefully to striking fear before she emerges fully into the light.
"Elena..." I growl once she reveals herself.
I always knew something was off about her from the beginning before she finally lost it and made a deal. with the wizard.
"Freya... don't tell me you broke in to steal from me again." Her eyes flash purple forcing me to take a step backwards. "You should have just run away like you initially planned to do."
"You mean rescue... the word you're looking for is rescue. I came to retrieve my mate."
She suddenly scowls at me stepping closer to me with
so much animosity
I notice the awkward shape of her shadow that doesn't match her silhouette. Before i can ponder on it long enough he emerges from the darkness behind
her.
First as a black smoke before taking the image of a
man.
I know it's him without needing to be told. His aura gives it away.
"Wizard."
"Long time no see, Freya... missed me?" He jokes.
"Not even for a moment."
"That too bad, here I was unable to get you out of my
mind, plotting ways to get back at you for betraying me." He says casually like it's really a greeting you throw at someone you've known for a while.
I judge the scenario for an escape route all between this madness, but there's none.
Silas shivers sweaty and weak leaning against Adam and being a liability. I'm starting to think the spreading ourselves thing was a complete bad idea. I notice the red glowing necklace wrapped round his neck... the most likely source of his power plotting my escape but he sees right through me.
"I see what you want to do... but it won't work."
And then he snaps his finger and I feel my whole body
going numb and weak before I drop unto the ground with my consciousness fading."
Silas POV
Once the wizard snaps his finger something strange
happens to Freya...
Her eyes roll into the back of her head and she
stubbles over.
"Freya!"
I pull away from Adam rushing to catch her before
she hits the group falling down in the process because my muscles are still too weak.
I shake her still body over and over again opening her
eyes much she doesn't wake up. Luckily her heart is still beating but only barely. "Don't worry she's still alive just lock I up in a subconscious prison." Elena explains shrugging her shoulders.
I turn to face her now growling and overwhelmed by anger.
Fuck everything and the possible fact that she might
not be in control of her actions...I'm going to tear her into pieces.
Adam changes into his wolf first lunging after her
quickly but she reacts fast turning into hers as well and deflecting the first blow he lands before he tackles her.
The wizard on the other hands remains still and quiet
just like Freya.
I turn back to her while Adam keeps Elena busy trying
to wake her up again.
FREYA'S POV:
Suddenly I'm walking down a wide and vast space that's engulfed in nothing but darkness.
I try to adjust my eyes and actually make out where
ever the fuck I am but it's impossible and with every step I begin sinking deeper into the earth beneath my feet like its quick sand.
I'm drawn in deeper and deeper until I'm sunken up
to my knees and it dries up like fast drying cement
and I can't move forward anymore.
I try struggling but it doesn't budge. "There's no use fighting... you can't escape." His voice whispers into my mind again. Vines tearing out of the earth reach out and grasp
unto my arms holding me in place, the thorns on each of them tearing my flesh and the pain seem too unbearable.
His form fizzles up out of the darkness around as he approaches me suddenly laughing like a psychopath. "It's been a while since we were able to converse so
easily like this, just the two of us." While he speaks the vines wrap round my neck tightening slowly
"Why don't we just talk this out huh?" I force out while the choke hold on my neck tightens "It's simple... I want revenge; to the family of the woman that ruined my clan and made up some glorified story to cover up what she did. The entire family needs to be wiped out... and you." He moves in closer to me just when I'm not able to
breathe again.
"We had a deal, you and i... you failed to keep your
end and like I said before your life would be a suitable price to pay."
I start coughing and wheezing. I feel the pain of my
lungs collapsing I'm unable to pass out. It feels like dying but never being able to escape the pain. I struggle against the vines but my fight is pointless.
"You should have stayed in your lane instead of trying to be something you're not. If you had simply kept your end maybe your friends wouldn't have been
dragged into this and you'd be an actual alpha with a much stronger mental fortitude." He teases me slightly brushing my hair while I died over and over
again.
The burning pain in my insides only grows hotter while my body convulses.
"Even right now, your mate is out there struggling to
keep you safe, when you can't even protect yourself
in
your own mind. You're a weak and pathetic wolf, born with the terrible fate of dying because of your
weakness."
"Just let go... accept your fate and stop fighting so
hard. It's already over. Your mate will be killed and you'd eventually get stuck in your mind. The end is inevitable."
Tears fall from my eyes while I fight against the tight grasp round me. Feeling the thorns ripping my skin a
thousand time, feeling death was over me again and again.
I'm growing tired to fight, to push on, giving up sounds all the more sweeter. I could sleep and never open my eyes or leave this place, but then Silas is still out there fighting for me.
If anyone deserves to live it should be him, and Adam. Xena and Lucas still have to complete their mating and have a wonderful life together and that won't be possible if this bastard roams freely. Tearing up and angry I refuse to give up... "I see you've decided to bury yourself here, forever
stuck in your own mind." He comments casually while watching me struggle. Then it hits me... this is my own mind... my own plane
...I should be the one in control not him
I'm an omega but I won't give up. I reach out for one more miracle today... one more
fighting chance to defeat my enemies and save everyone I love.
I am not weak.
I focus on my thoughts on the plain we are in connecting with my sub-consciousness. can't block me out of your mind even if you
"You
try." He says figuring out what I'm trying to do."
"Keyword in that statement; my mind. You don't get to walk in here and act like you own the place."
Suddenly I'm able to speak again.
The grip on my throat slowly loosens and the thorns
ripping my flesh are gone. The intense pain boiling from the pit of my gut disappears in an instance as though it had been my imagination.
He looks back at me bewildered taking a step back. "How... how are you...?" He stutters.
"You came into my playing field to threaten me asshole... you should have seen this coming." The vines uncurl round me now and the earth opens
up from my feet to step out. I don't even know why I
was so scared to break free in the first place now. He walks away from me again before falling on his butt still doubtful of my sudden upgrade. I slowly walk towards him while he desperately moves away from me, terrified.
I feel him trying to escape the confines of my thoughts but I don't let him leave anymore. "You've had this coming your way for a while." I say
before I pick him up by his collar easily. "You think because you are able to overcome this
minor setback that you've won... it's already too late... you and the rest of your friends will bow to the-"
"Shut up." I cut him right before he can finish
squeezing hard on his neck.
I want him to feel as much pain I had felt by choking
him.
Vines under my own control rise up from the earth
and hold him in place while I step back choking him
for me.
I plan on keeping him here for as long as possible while I close my eyes and wake up in the really world
again.
I wake up with a start jumping up and gasping for air
while clutching my throat. It feels like I've been
drowning in some form of sleep paralysis. It takes time for my breathing to be calm and i sit up
looking round at my surroundings.
First thing I notice is Adam wounded by the side clutching to his bleeding side. "Adam!" I yell running up to him. "Are you okay?" I ask looking all over hi,
There's not much damage asides his left side that's
thick with blood gushing from his side while he
applies pressure to it.
He grunts in pain looking up at me, managing to
smile.
"Don't worry I'm fine... still have a little more fight
left in me." He chuckles to calm my worries.
"You better be..." I warn him. He laughs softly again.
"You feel different." He comments in a daze.
Before I can ask what he means I hear a howling
coming from the corner where Silas and Elena battles
it out.
He's weakened extensively so it's not even a battle
but a beat down involving him receiving her blows.
He topples on his four legs trying to maintain his balance while she sips him with her claws again. "Silas!" I stand up to help but Adam holds me back.
"You have to get help, you can't face her... she's an Alpha wolf coupled by whatever dark entity that's given her a power boost. Silas can only hold her back for so long.
"No way." I growl pulling my arm away from his reach and turning to the again.
She strikes Silas for the final time and he falls to the
ground, before she turns to me realizing I've woken
up again and growls, getting ready to charge in my
direction.
I flex my neck, cracking the joints while I feel my wolf taking over me.
"I've waited for this moment for the longest time
bitch." I mutter.
And then I morph into my wolf just as she charges
biting hard against her neck and holding her down
before she can strike.
We roll over continuously till I'm directly over her
and scratch her left side with my paw My paw... seems bigger than it had been the last time
I had morphed. My head is way higher above the ground before too... it's as if my wolf has grown taller since my last transformation.
Distracted by my change Elena attacks again biting down on my arm and tossing me off her body while
her eyes burn with bright purple smoke and her
mouth foams like a rabid dog as she growls at me.
I'm injured now but I don't back down.
We charge at each other simultaneously striking blow
after blow at the other until she successfully pins me
down snapping at my neck to bite.
I push her off me and she flies back hitting the wall
right next to Silas.
She seems peeved that a wolf like myself would dare
stand in her way while shaking off the impact of the
blow.
She turns to Silas and a bulb lightening up in her head lunging forward at him to attack while he's
unconscious.
"No!" I growl losing my shit and charge in after her
as fast as I can.
Before her teeth sinks into him I bite down on the
side of her skull tugging her away from him and
tossing her aside. Overcome by my anger and rage I don't stop raising
my claws striking back at her, slashing every bit of
flesh I can see till she's motionless.
My wolf and I are breathing hard when we take steps
away from her unconscious body. I did it... I really did it. I'm injured and my left arm
and leg are throbbing but I was able to stop her.
My legs wobble and give way before I collapse
changing back into my human form and breathing
hard.
"Freya..." Adam barely whispers still holding unto his consciousness as he slowly bleeds out. "How did you
... I thought you were an Omega."
"I am... I think I am."
He takes in deep breaths, talking slowly.
"I've never heard of an Omega wolf that huge
before." He mumbles.
I don't know what to say about what he's told me now
.but I really did turn into a wolf twice my usual size. That's not important now... we need to find a way... I
need to get Adam and Silas out of here... even though
I'm injured I can manage another change.
I'm about to move closer to him but a sharp pain
stabs into my lower back suddenly
"Aargh!" I yell out in agony falling face first unto the
floor.
