Chapter Eight
*edited*
I was sitting by myself again in my room. Ever since we got attacked he hasn't shown up much. I wake up he's gone. I go to sleep he's not here. I don't even see him during meals either. He never told me if I did something wrong or what. I didn't like the way that made my heart feel. I decided to stop wallowing in my self pity and go and visit James today. I didn't make sense to just sit in my room all day and stare out my window.
I turned the creaky knob and walked down the painfully long hallway. I could hear people talking to their mates in their rooms or just to friends. Don't have either of those right now. I opened the door only to be greeted by two armed pack warriors.
"Excuse me." I spoke trying to nudge myself through.
"Sorry Luna you aren't allowed to leave the house. Alpha's orders." One of the spoke not moving a muscle.
"Move please." I said. I was in a bad mood today and if they didn't let me through I would definitely be going into their alphas office and giving him a piece of my mind.
"Sorry Luna, we don't think this is fair to you either." The other one frowned.
"I get it, your just doing your job. By any chance can you tell me if there are any guards at the back door." They both chuckled and just shrugged.
"We only get told for us. Sorry Luna. Best of luck though." I smiled at both of them before heading to check the back door.
Same thing. Two funny guards who refused to move. I was going to go kick Lincoln's booty. I stormed up the stairs and walked right into his office not even knocking. There stood a girl who was smiling at him flirtatiously. I glared at him before walking right up to him and shoving at his chest.
"Ana, you are dismissed." He snapped trying to get a grip on my hands so I stop attacking him.
"You had no right to not let me leave! Like I am some sort of object! Only for me to find out that you a freaking cheating on me!" I screamed thrashing around in his grip.
"Calm down Brielle." He said deeply.
"Don't tell me to effing calm down!" I screamed.
"All I want to do is go to James' is that so much to ask."
"Remember what happened last time we just went to see James." He snapped.
"How could I forget, last time i checked I was the one in a coma for a week and I'm fine now so don't just keep me here like a freaking prisoner!" I was seriously about to karate chop his head off.
"Well then you know why I'm not letting you leave." He snapped back.
"Well then you know what, I'm not your property! If I want to leave then I am going to leave you jerk!" I turned around only to have my wrist snatched.
"If you even think about leaving there will be severe consequences." He snapped.
"Oh I'm so scared." I mocked with my hands up before slamming the office door shut behind me.
I stormed down the hallway and up to my room. I unlocked the window before locking my door. I pulled the window open and slid through stepped onto the hanging roof below my window. I gripped the shingles before full sending it and landing right on my butt outside the house. I did it.
"Luna?" I looked over to see the two guards staring at me shocked.
"Please just pretend you didn't see me." I pleaded.
"Luna..."
"Please, I haven't been outside in so long." I begged.
"We didn't see anything, right Charles?" He shook his head giving me a small smile.
"Thank you so much." I smiled at both of them. "I won't forget this!"
I made my way towards James' house. I pulled opened the door and walked in. James was sitting on his couch holding a book in his hand.
"Hey kiddo." He said not looking up from his book.
"Hey." I smiled taking a seat next to him.
"What's bugging you?" He asked closing it and resting it on his lap.
"Lincoln is driving me crazy. He wouldn't let me leave for over a week. And I get the whole Coma thing, but that was before. I'm fine, I've been fine for a whole week James." I sighed rubbing my face with my annoyingly cold hands.
"He had guards at every door so I couldn't leave." I sighed.
"Wait so how did you escape?" He asked raising an eyebrow. "Do I even want to know?"
"I jumped out my window." I laughed.
"Of course you did, you are giving me more white hairs then I need." He frowned tapping his hands on the cover of his book.
"Lincoln is slowly driving me mad." I laughed even though there was no humor behind it. "And then I walked into his office earlier and there was this girl named Ana there and she was flirting with him. He didn't even have her leave until after I started beating him up." I frowned remembering how I was ready to whip out all my crazy ninja moves.
"I would've paid money to watch you beat him up." I gave him a dirty look. "Sorry not helping." He chuckled.
"Ana has always been that way she is a twisted power hungry meanie." This caused me to laugh. "As for Lincoln, he'll come around, plus with all your jumping out of window skills now, we don't have to worry about never seeing each other again. I'll have a chat with Lincoln later." He smiled at me reaching over to squeeze my hand.
"How have you been feeling?" He asked changing the subject.
"I'm fine." I snapped, I was done talking about my health. I was in a coma for a week, I get it. I don't need to be treated like a child.
"Have you practiced magic recently." He asked.
"No. I've been wanting to but I've been so angry I'm scared I'll burn the whole house down." I frowned.
"You used to do the meditation exercises when you were younger. Why don't you try them again? Or we can go into the woods away from people where you can knock down a few trees." He smiled.
I would practice meditation whenever I was having bad nightmares or visions of my parents. My parents. I felt an overwhelming sadness wash over me.
"All your stuff is still in your room why don't you go in there for a while." He smiled. I nodded and walked into my small room.
I took a seat on my bed and crossed my legs criss cross applesauce. Clasping my hands together in my lap and taking a deep breath. I let myself slip away into my nothingness. It felt calm and helped wash away my negative thoughts. I was just entering my trance when I heard a lot of commotion coming from outside my room. I opened my eyes and groaned knowing exactly who was here. I got up and opened the door to come face to face with a furious Lincoln.
"I told you there would be consequences." He growled grabbing onto my forearm quite tightly might I add. I winced in pain and tried wriggling out of his grip.
"Let me go!" I yelled at him.
"Lincoln! Let her go." James yelled rushing over to us.
He ignored both mine and James's pleas as he continued dragging me back up towards the pack house.
"That was irresponsible." He snapped. "And embarrassing for me and you."
"Glad to know that's all I am to you." I snapped. "An irresponsible embarrassment." I was furious I have never felt this angry before. The anger felt like it was just bubbling and bubbling deep inside my chest, eager to come out.
I looked up at my window to see metal bars being placed across them so I couldn't leave.
"Why are you doing this all of a sudden?" I snapped still trying to free my wrist from his painful grip. The tingles running up my arm from the contact doing nothing to help me. I wanted to beat him up right now.
"You being hurt like that was a wake up call for me. I can't keep you safe while protecting this pack so I'm going to do what my father did all those years ago. Keep you hidden from everyone and everything. If no one can get to you, you will be safe. I won't lose you." His voice lowering to almost a whisper, as he dragged me up the stairs.
"Stop please, don't do this! You'll regret it please Lincoln." I yelled. The guards we passed gave me looks of pity as I was practically being dragged by a furious giant.
"This is for the best."He snapped shoving me into my room. "The quicker you understand that the better."
"No. No, please no." I screamed trying to shove myself back.
He slammed the door shut and I heard multiple locks get locked from the outside. I felt like a prisoner.
I started banging on the door screaming at him. How could he do this? I clearly wasn't the only one in a bad mood. I'm not a piece of property that he can just put to the side and lock away whenever he feels like this.
I sat on the bed and groaned. He was going to regret locking me in here. I would make sure of it.
