Fighting Spirit Series Chapter 43: Taken

**Mei:**

Desmond arrived to escort me down, along with Dominic and Seth to escort their mother’s. I was now part of that group. ‘Mother’ I repeated silently. We stopped at the back patio, allowing Amelia and Izzy to take their spots.

Desmond nodded at me, walking down a long stone walkway lined with colored glass jars with floating candles. Remarkably simple, casting their soft rainbow of color across the walkway. The same jars hung from the tree branches twined together with mini white lights.

At the end was a large stone with the Demon Wolf mark carved into the side, stained to match the mark we physically carried. Jack looked delicious, white button up shirt, the sleeves rolled halfway up exposing his tanned muscular forearms, white cotton pants, barefooted. Every clan member wore white simple pieces, because tonight I run as the new Luna of Demon Wolf.

Jack puffed his chest out in pride as he took my hand, placing the Demon Wolf dagger at my palm.

“Repeat after me.” He linked.

I nodded my head staring into his intense blue eyes, slowly shifting to black pools of passionate desire. Before we could start, I felt a sharp prick against my neck. Reaching for it, watching as Jack faded away with a loud growl as arms wrapped around my waist, then darkness.

Cold, wet, putrid smell. Blood, massive amounts of blood filled the air. Slowly, sitting up feeling the wet slimy stone floor against my palms and fingers. SHIT! I hissed silently leaning my head against the cold stone wall.

Welcome back! I rolled my eyes.

“Oh, you’re awake.” A cold husky voice filled the dark hallway to the cells. The sound of a knife slicing into something hollow, wet, then the smell of apple. My stomach turned violently at the smell of the sweet against the putrid smell of the cell.

“Great! Who might the pleasure be this time?” Rolling my eyes. A deep sinister chuckle echoed through the cell.

“Still the same feisty flower, you are.” The shadowy voice hissed biting into the apple, the crunch of wetness and skin smacking against soft flesh.

Flower? Fuck me! Raven.

“Hello, Raven.” I said with a hint of sarcasm. Receiving a half-eaten apple to the face, not flinching at impact, licking the sweet juice that landed on my lips.

“Well, at least you remember your true owner.” Raven laughed leaning forward, revealing his dark crimson eyes, protruding fangs, and those long blonde locks that drifted in the air like a sheet tied on the line.

“How could I forget you, Raven? You are the reason my life ended up in Hell. No, this place is way better than Hell. So cozy.” I said smiling sinisterly. Winking at him. Raven nodded for the two guards to enter, trying to get to my feet only to find them shackled, wrists chained.

“Do not try to fight. Would not want to ruin your dress.” He laughed walking away as the guards led me behind.

A hard kick to my back sent me flying into the stone wall, two large iron rings protruded from the crimson stained wall.

Whipping. Oh, my cup of tea.

The large burly guard, with dark curls and deep amber eyes, pulled a knife from his waistband. Slipping the cold metal under the soiled chiffon, slicing down the seam exposing my naked scarred body. He took a deep whiff against my skin; his eyes grew large, then back to normal, before flashing me a deadly smile.

Fucking bears! The other guard stared at my body, trailing his pasty-white finger along my scars.

“Take good care of her boys.” Raven stepped back as the bear unleased loud cracking whips against my back.

I wanted to cry, but this was my reality. I felt no pain. Pain was my friend. Now, I must figure out how to protect my pups. Jack, please find me. I stayed conscious listening to my flesh rip open, snapping and popping as it was ripped from my body. Crimson droplets splattered against the guard’s bodies, streaming slowly against their exposed skin. Darkness consumed me.

*A Week Later*

It has been a week since Raven managed to drug and ‘poof’ me away from JR and Demon Wolf. A tight stabbing in my chest caused me to silently cry. I missed Jack. I needed to feel his touch. Feel him inside me.

UGH… I was awakened this morning by a large bucket of ice water slamming against my body causing the still healing wounds to sting. Salt! Fucking salt-ice water.

Kyou hissed and stirred, she was still in the shadows, weak and tired. The clank of metal drew my attention to the bear bringing me food. He smelled that I was pregnant and secretly had been bringing me extra food and water.

“Hey, Bear.” I whispered looking up at him behind swollen eyes.

“Hey, Wolf.” He laughed back softly.

“Word has it Demon Wolf is close.” He said handing me a ham and cheese sandwich.

“Good.” I smiled biting slowly into the sandwich. I looked up to his face, seeing an internal fight.

“I understand.” I said looking away as he stood up. He was about to leave when Raven showed up punching him in the stomach.

“So, it seems that our Flower has drawn the attention of the Bear.” Raven laughed callosly, landing a hard kick to his ribs.

“Why is it that you are so desirable?” Raven hissed leaning down into my face. Flashing his crimson stained fangs. At least he fed before visiting. Kyou laughed weakly.

“My dear friend Victor has heard about you and offered a very nice price.” Raven laughed sliding his hands into his black trouser pants, rocking back and forth on his heels.

Great! Raven is one thing, but Victor now. Rolling my eyes hardcore at this ‘Fucked Up’ situation.

“Well, sell me if I am such a pain in the ass.” I laughed receiving a hard backhand busting my cheek open. Warm, sticky liquid rolled down my cheek dripping slowly off my chin.

“Now, why would I want to do that? You are so much more fun than money and you happen to provide both.” Raven stepped over the bear.

Two guards walked in hoisting the bear up, just for Raven to plunge his razor sharp nails through his heart. His screams trapped by the damp stone walls. I felt my last ray of hope die with the bear.

Jack, if you’re on your way, now would be a great time for you to show. I silently yelled. Closing my eyes as the guards dragged the bear out of my cell, caging me again.

“JACK!” I screamed through the link. Hoping he heard me.
