"Why are you still in here with me?"
Brack sits on my bed with his arms behind his head. Smirking, showing how sexy he truly is. For the last two days he's been in here with me, while I foolishly try to blast my way out. The only time the door opens is to slide in food and once for a crate of clothes for me.

I'm slowly getting tired of fighting and every-time I try to reject Brack he slams duct tape back on my mouth. It's been a reoccurring process, if not a bit demeaning. For some odd reason Brack will not leave, no matter how many insults or firebombs I send his way. I thought for a millisecond to read his mind but banished the thought quickly, it's to much of an invasion of trust to me.

I even considered using my power of lust persuasion but bucked against it, he would, I assume, enjoy it too much.

So it leaves me frustrated and a bit overwhelmed. They even barricaded my window. Like I would jump two stories down. Besides where would I go, I don't know my way home. Though I could ask someone but that presented a challenge in itself. So here I am stuck with Brack in my homemade jail.

"I give up! I won't reject you, just let me out!" Pleading to Brack. He's gotten under my skin these past two days. He only wears his boxers showing off his very big manhood, my eyes seem to always gravitate in that direction lately. He caught me a few times staring, he smirks at me, pretending that I'm not ogling him.

He's a wolf for fuck sakes!

Don't they have animalistic urges?

Yet he's kept his distance, so far. Decided to play devilish; I dressed in my pajama silk shirt suit trying to entice him. He just eyed me up and down, licked his lips, then continued to read his book. Ignoring my heated gazes and undeniable flirtation.

"I don't believe you." Not even looking in my direction, he disputes with my agreement.

Throwing myself on the bed at the end of his feet, resigning my inevitable doom. I may be a little dramatic on that point. Boredom is taking its toll on me. I could just scream.

Hearing the lock click, we both sit up and wait. A woman enters that I've never seen before. She's beautiful with long black hair, that goes pass her shoulders. Small and well defined body. Brack jumps from the bed, I watch him approach her with arms open wide and a smile on his face.

"Mom, when did you get back?" So this is their mother. I can see the resemblance between her and Malik, only difference being her hair color and size. She returns Bracks hug.

"Just a bit ago, I come to rectify your brothers mess," she turns her eyes to me. Taken notice of what I'm wearing. Cursing myself now for being so ridiculous to chose these garments. Covering myself the best I could I turn my gaze back to her but instead of the patronizing look I expected to see, she's smiling.

"You must be Miracle? It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Evelyn the boys mother." She comes close to me extending her hand, shaking it in return, I just smile.

She sits with us for few hours, telling me about the guys childhoods. Reminiscing about all the years gone by, Brack interjecting every now and then, then she starts explaining about Talon. Thinking she needs to apologize for his actions. Then she floors me.

"With Malik just breaking up with Priscilla, Talon and Marcus and Brack still dating Arista, I know this has to be hard for you." Seeing my shocked face, she stops talking. Brack stands there with a blank expression on his face. The secrets then pour out.

"Can you please excuse us, I need a word with Brack?" Seeing me getting agitated, she nods, looks at Brack with a stern gaze and leaves. The lock clicks behind her. Trying to reign in my rage, knowing I'm about to go ballistic, I go the bathroom and lock the door.

"Miracle, I'm sorry, I know I should've told you, I was going to break it off, I just haven't seen her yet, please Miracle, open the door." He screams while pounding on the door. Of all the people in the supernatural world why did I get stuck with mates that are already committed? It makes no sense. Frustrated, I lean against the door and fall to the floor. Sitting, miserably, I just cry. Is this what it truly sounds like, when doves cry? Moronic huh?

I don't know for how long I stay on the floor that way.
Tears have long dried on my face. Brack has quit his relentless pounding and screaming. Getting up I wash my face. Go into my bedroom, and change my clothes.

I'm so done with all of this. The secrets, the name calling, and of course the damn heartbreak. That's why Brack paid me no attention, with all the flirting I did; now I just feel foolish.

My anger builds inside me, no more tears will I shed for these men. Furious, I lift my hands. Generating a humongous fireball, I release my anger and frustrations. Throwing the fireball at the window, it burst outward, splintering the wood with full force. Before the heated wood cools; I climb through the hole. Jumping two stories, I hit the ground with a thud and roll, hurting my ankle in the process. Keeping my mind off the pain, getting up, I take off in a run, half hobble away as fast as I can. Cutting across the lawn, I hit the forest, hiding behind a tree. Looking back to the castle I see a few people standing at the blown out window. I can't make who they are, all I see is their forms.

Realizing I'm running out of of time, I take off in a run. Not having an idea where I'm going, going from tree to tree; never stopping. Suddenly hearing screams, I pick up speed. Tired from running after a while. I get lucky.

Running across a river,out of breath, I scoop my hand in to the cold water to get a drink. The cold refreshing liquid coursing through me gives me some relief. Looking around; I'm in total darkness. Not having much of a choice I walk along the edge of the river. Following its current.

Later on I see a light in the distance. It's glow casting across the river. Getting closer, I see it's a little cabin. There's a dog perched by the front door. He senses my presence, lifting his head in my direction he begins to bark. An old man comes out of the cabin. Looking around. Edging closer he sees me, bending to pet his dog.

"Who are ya?" His gruff voice startled me for a second. Gaining my courage, I walk closer, slowly.

"I'm.." not wanting to give my name "Avery," using my middle name "I'm looking for lodging for a night. Might you have a room or bed?" Looking at me unconvinced.

"Who are ya hiding from?" Before I could reply "never mind, come on in girl, 'fore it gets cold. This here is," he points to his dog "Rosco" looking down to his dog "Rosco behave." The dog whines then lays his bed back down on the porch. The old man waves his arms inviting me into his home.

"Thank you, promise I will be no problem," shaking his head and laughing.

"I doubt that but ya more than welcome to stay the night. There's soup on the table, Eat while it's still hot. I have an extra room in the back, ya can sleep in there." Observing him I notice he has mole on his face. Not very big but noticeable. His grey hair is thin on top of his head. Rather slender but seems friendly.

"My names Earl, I live here alone, I'm the retired caretaker of the castle. Don't have much but ya welcome to it. Sit. Eat." He lowers himself in the chair after grabbing me a bowl and spoon. He ladles me soup in mine. It smells delicious. Not wasting a second, I dig in. Cabbage soup fills my empty stomach.

"Thank you for this. It's delicious and thank you for letting me stay the night. I appreciate it." Waving his hand at me, he continues to eat.

Glancing around the cabin it is small but very homey. Old furniture but it's clean. Some pictures hang on the wall. Knickknacks are scattered about. During my viewing I return my eyes to him. He's staring at me.

"Who are running from?" He ask me, not rudely, just with curiosity. Sighing I unload on him. Telling him everything. He nods now and then. Grunting at a few spots, he never interrupted. Just listened.

"You can stay as long as ya need. Those boys are as stubborn as ya get, all but Baron, he's pretty level-headed. If they come I have a small cellar ya can hide in, till ya get it all worked out. That's the best I can do for ya." He grabs our bowls and places them in the sink.

"Thank you so much, I won't be a problem. I can help around here also to pay you back for your kindness it's the least I can do." Waving his hand at me again. Thinking I don't want to be a burden. I ask,

"Do you know how I can get back to a town named Granville? That's where I from. I just don't know how to get back." He turns to me, sitting back down in his chair.

"About thirty miles west, there's a travel portal ya can go through. If ya a supernatural, ya can picture where ya wanna be and it will transport ya there." Rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

"I have a friend that will be here in about a week, he drives my veggies and fruits to the market for me. He can give ya a ride. Until then ya can stay. There are some of my daughter things she left her, ya can use those clothes and other items. Let me show ya the room." Standing he takes me around a little corner. Opening the door he welcomes me in. The room is small, a wooden bed sits in the corner, with a side table, pink pillows and blankets on the bed. It's inviting.

Turning toward him.

"Thank you Earl for everything, if you like, I can cook breakfast for us. I don't mind, I love to cook." Nodding his head he then closes the door.

Walking around the room, I see a two doors, opening the first one, it's a small closet with a few dresses, shirts, and pants. At the bottom is some shoes. Going to the next door, I open it. It's a tiny bathroom with a stand-up shower, toilet and sink.

There's a small dresser by the bed going to it, I have to pry the drawer open. Inside I find undergarments, socks, and a couple of bras. Opening the second drawer I find pictures. Earls in a few with a girl. She can't be more than fifteen or sixteen in them. She has a bright smile. Dark red hair, her face is smothered in freckles. She's beautiful. Turning the picture over I read the inscription on the back.

Earl and Arista, great I'm in my mates girlfriends old house.

The hits just keep coming!
