Lola's POV
When I woke up the next day I was pumped and anxious simultaneously. I was pumped because today is the day I finally leave this pack. I was also anxious because it might not turn out well.
I was still on my bed thinking about how tonight will go when a knock sounded on my door. Thinking it was Buff, I stood up and went to open my door. When I opened it, it was Damon standing outside the door. I was surprised and my heart started beating rapidly in my chest. Did he find out? Am I going to be a slave forever in this pack? A lot of thoughts ran through my head.
He smiled at me and I automatically took a step back. “Why are you here?” I asked him as I slowly moved backwards. The energy I got from him wasn't good at all.
“When have you ever gotten a good energy from him?” Jasmine asked in my head.
“What do you mean why am I here? I am here to see my Queen of course. I know I was harsh at you yesterday and I almost lost it when you said you were not going to give me your powers to build an army I wanted, I sincerely apologize for that. I assure you that I am not like that and I would never treat you that way anymore. I just want you to love me and trust me and then we can go on to conquer the word together”, I looked at him like he was crazy but he didn't seem to see anything wrong with what he said. I kept moving backwards slowly but he kept coming towards me.
“Damon, what are you doing”, he laughed and looked at me with a very creepy look in his eyes, “what do you mean what am I doing, love? He asked with an evil grin on his face.
I looked into his eyes and saw that he was not in control of his body, his wolf was. “Listen, I don't know what's going on but I want you to calm down”, I tried to talk to him.
“You promised. You, you promised me, you told me you were not going to touch me or do anything until you gained my trust. What are you doing? Please snap out of it”, I begged but he did not seem to care. It seems his wolf was even crazier than he was.
I was getting scared, I wasn't going to lie but he kept moving towards me as I moved backwards. Buff was standing outside the door as everything went on but he did not say anything and that was when it really dawned on me that this pack was fucked up beyond hope.
My body was shaking uncontrollably, my limbs were moving on their own accord and I did not know when I released a flash of lightning from my body, throwing him back against the wall. When he sat up back, I thought he was going to charge at me but he was back to his normal self. He took a quick look at me before he left the room.
Immediately he left, I crumbled onto the floor, my body shaking uncontrollably, several thoughts on my mind.
Boy, I could have been raped, I could have been defiled and no one would have said anything about it in this pack.
I cried. I sobbed heavily, not for myself but for women that had no means of protecting themselves and have been defiled by these vile men. I was shaking uncontrollably and I wished night would come faster than it usually did. I was still curled on the floor when Fay came in.
She was scared when she saw me curled up on the floor and ran to me. “What is wrong with you, Lola? What is wrong? Why are you on the floor? Why are you crying? What happened? She asked rapidly concern evident in her eyes.
When I saw her. I burst into tears again as she held me close to her body slowly rubbing my back and whispering soothing words into my ears. “I was so scared, Fay. I thought he was going to rape me, I thought he was going to do it”. At the mention of rape, she pulled back from me in shock.
“He wasn't in control, his wolf was and if I had not used my powers to throw him back, he'd have forced himself on me”, I sobbed out. When I finished speaking, she pulled me back to her chest and rubbed my back.
I could hear her silence. It was so loud and I could sense her thoughts running a thousand miles per hour but I could not figure out what she was thinking.
“Why are you so silent?”,I eventually asked her. She looked at me and said, “tonight, I'm going to make sure that I do everything within my power to make sure that you escape and then bring all these people down”, she said with so much determination and conviction that I was sure that nothing was going to stop her. Not even her life on the line.
She raised me from the floor and tucked me into bed, gently patting my back until she thought I was asleep. I knew she stayed there for a while because I wasn't actually sleeping, I just evened out my breathing so she would think I was.
When she eventually left, I sat up and said a prayer to the moon goddess to make tonight a very successful night for us.
For the rest of the day I did not see Damon because I locked myself up in my room. Fay brought food for me to eat at some point because according to her, I would need the power to run when it's night time. Apart from that the rest of the day was uneventful.
Soon it was time to put our plan into actions. We left the room like we were going for a walk and went towards the door that was supposed to lead us out of the pack. When we reached the door, Fay kept looking around while I gently opened it but of course luck wasn't on our side and a guard saw us open the door.
Apparently, everybody knew where that door led to and the guard raised an alarm. I hurriedly opened the door and tried to pull Fay along with me so we could run but she refused to move. With tears in her eyes, she looked at me.
“What are you doing?” I asked her but she did not answer me. “We need to leave, Fay. We need to leave now before they get here!!”, I screamed at her with tears in my eyes but she did not answer me again, she only looked at me with tearful eyes and smiled sadly.
“I knew only one of us would be able to go and I knew the price I was going to be pay if we ever got caught”, she said as she smiled through her tears. “Go,go now and save everyone.Remember”, she hiccuped, “remember the price I paid,make sure that they all pay for their sins”. And with that she closed the door.
I stood for a while contemplating if I should do anything to take her with me or make a run for it. I did the latter eventually. I ran without stopping. I did not stop even when I heard screams of agony. I did not stop when I finally felt myself breaking out of the magical barrier. I didn't stop even when I was sure I wasn't going to be captured again.
I didn't stop.
