Chapter 68: The rescue

Chapter 68: The rescue

I couldn’t believe with my own eyes as I stood there looking at that smiling face of his.
Damon was here!
He opened the door as Marcus came and took my hand, “Come my love. We need to go.”
I blinked and walked ahead with him towards the door, feeling as this isn’t real, but the moment I walked through the door before Marcus, as he let me pass first, I smelled Damon’s familiar scent and without another thought, the realization of the situation being true, finally made me realize as I threw myself into Damon’s embrace.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and said, “Don’t worry, you both are getting out now.”
I looked up into his eyes, as a gentle smile graced his features, making me smile gratefully back at him.
I looked behind me to see Marcus watching us silently, and weirdly he didn’t protest for me hugging Damon.
No growls, no angry look, nothing. When he saw me looking at him, he smiled at me, extending his hand which I took as I walked out of Damon’s embrace and closer to Marcus.
"We need to go now before they realize that you're out," Damon said, making Marcus nod his head as we started to walk fast towards the exit.
“How did you go past the guards?” I asked Damon, as he turned his back for a moment showing me his cheeky grin.
"I was a bad boy." Damon teased making Marcus chuckle as we kept on running.
Coming closer to the big gate, Damon slowly opened them and peeked outside.
We were all quiet for a moment, waiting anxiously, or was it just me I couldn’t say, but soon he motioned to us with his hand to follow him.
Marcus walked before me and shortly after I followed after him, as all three of us walked ahead towards a storage house, to walk behind it.
“So what now?” I asked them, making them both look down at me.
“Are you alone?” Marcus asked Damon.
Damon shook his head, "No, Zen and Wyatt are here waiting close by and…" before he could continue, another voice spoke, startling me, making me jump up in fright, "And us."
Turning my head I could see Logan and my brother James smiling at us.
We hugged fast and stood still, pressing to the wall of the little storage house when we heard voices.
"Bring them inside, it is time." The voice of the Elder that lead the court sounded loud as he ordered the guards to go and get Marcus and me.
"We need to go there," Damon whispered as he pointed with his finger towards the forest area.
"We can't move now, or they will easily see us," Logan said fast, making everyone agree to that.
If we were to run to the forest side that Damon was pointing, the guards that were on their move to the dungeons would surely see us and we would never make it to the forest.
"Let's wait until they go inside the dungeons and we will then make a run for it," Marcus said.
We all silently listened to the approaching footsteps of the guards, waiting patiently for them to enter the dungeons.
I could see four guards, armed, walking towards the dungeons as one opened the doors, but stopping for a moment as he silently said something to the other three.
Two walked inside as the other two stood outside waiting.
This was not good. We were hoping that they all will go inside so we can move, but if we move now, the other two will definitely see us and alert the others.
Silently we all looked at each other, turning back towards the dungeons, and waited.
“We have a breach!” the loud shout sounded making the other two guards abruptly turn around towards the doors to see the other two guards rushing outside.
They rushed towards the main gates as other guards gathered around, informing them of “prisoners escape.”
“FIND THEM!!” loud order echoed through the air, as the Elder yelled it out making the guards rush and search after us.
"Well so long with the plan to sneak in and sneak out in one piece," Damon muttered low making me look at him as others were silent.
“So plan B?” James asked looking at the guys, making me wonder what their plan B is.
Logan and Damon nodded their heads as Marcus jumped in and asked, "Care to fill me in what is the plan B we are going with so I can participate as well?"
Feeling useless to act like some damsel in distress, I also jumped in and said, "Me too."
Marcus, James, Damon, and Logan, all looked at me bewildered by what I just said, “What?” I asked.
Marcus answered me, "You are not participating in any fights nor anything dangerous."
I rolled my eyes at him, “I can take care of myself.”
Marcus opened his mouth to object but James cut him and said instead, “It is not that we believe that you can’t take care of yourself, it is just safer for us all if we know that you are hidden and safe, away from the danger, and also I am sure if you were to fight that would only distract Marcus and he might get hurt as he would be worried about you as well as the rest of us, and you wouldn’t want that now would you?” James said making me close my mouth feeling defeated by his reasoning, but denied to look at any of them as they all said silently to James, “Thank you.”
He was proud of his achievement as he smiled and soon enough they filled Marcus in with their plan B.
We heard footsteps approaching as five guards were cautiously approaching us.
“Stay here, and lay low. Do not come out from hiding unless we call you to.” Marcus said to me and as I was about to protest I saw the other agree with him, making me exhale in defeat.
So much of me helping them. So unfair! I thought to myself.
Logan and James went to one side of the storage house, as Damon and Marcus went on the other side of it, slowly approaching to upcoming guards.
“Intruders!!” someone yelled and soon I heard the sounds of fighting followed by grunts of pain.
I couldn’t help myself as I had to peak over the wall and see what was happening.
I saw Logan fighting some guard, while James did the other. On the right side, I saw Marcus and Damon fighting the other three.
Damon got hit in his jaw, but he didn't flinch, as he stood there watching at the guard who looked bewildered at his jaw then back at his fist, swallowing loudly while Damon said to him, "Seriously?! You call that a punch? Hell, my grandmother hits harder!"
I couldn't believe he was saying that, and even Marcus heard him say that as he managed to knock down one guard, as another was about to attack him from the back making me yell out, "Marcus watch behind you!"
He looked my way and reacted fast as he threw two hits making the guard to fall down.
He looked back up towards me and said, “I told you to stay hidden!”
Men! How hard it is to say thank you? I said to myself.
"A thank you would have done enough you know," I shouted back at him, making him roll his eyes while Damon chuckled next to him.
“What?” Marcus asked Damon who started to chuckle even more, “O stop it you asshole! I’ll see when you meet your mate how whipped you will be.” Marcus told him making Damon stop and look at him, “Do I need to buy her a whip then…because damn man you are whipped!” Damon said, showing an improvising whip in his hand.
"Seriously you are such a jackass," Marcus told him.
The loud noises of rushed feet were fast approaching us making all the guys turn around and look ahead.
My eyes traveled the same way they were looking as they started to position themselves for a fight, when Damon said, “Let the party begin.”
A crowd of guards rushed towards James, Marcus, Damon, and Logan as the fight became brutal.
I looked up ahead and saw Tyson noticing me, as he started to rush fast towards me.
I heard him call my name but I didn't want him to reach me. My eyes automatically searched in the mess of bodies fighting, for Marcus, and he felt my eyes as he turned towards me and saw the distress showing in my eyes as I looked back towards Tyson.
Marcus looked for a moment the same way and saw Tyson approaching. He kicked off guards, knocking them down to the ground, two at a time, as he strode in front of me, pushing me behind his back the moment Tyson came closer.
“Get the hell out of my way!” Tyson growled at Marcus who returned the growl.
"Make one step closer and it will be your last Tyson," Marcus warned him and I could feel the surge of power radiating out from him.
It was so intoxicating and powerful, making me in a weird way feeling all giddy inside.
They stared down into each other, letting their inner beasts to half take over, as the air around them felt as it was filled with electric power.
Just before they were about to pounce into each other, two large shadows flew above us letting out a deafening loud roar that made us all cover our ears.
The guards took few steps away as two beasts, dragons opened their mouths and set the area in between us and the guards light on fire.
Making sure that we were separated and safe, two dragons flew down towards us.
"Climb on their backs and hold on tight," Damon exclaimed as we climbed two dragons' backs as he fast shifted in his mighty black one.
Soon enough in a second, we were getting up from the ground and I saw Tyson angry look as he didn't take his eyes off of us, until we were too far away, gliding through the sky going to the unknown.
