Samantha.
It is getting dark out. We have been driving in silence for what seemed like hours. I am no longer scared for my life but still confused to why I am here in the first place.
After we both seemed to calm down he helped me back in the car. Since he ripped the front passenger seat belt, which I still don't know how that was possible, I am sitting in the back seat opposite side of him.
Occasionaly I catch him peeking at me through the rearview mirror, looking as if he has alot to say but he never says anything. He is good at not talking. We have long left the city and are hours into a road surrounded by endless forest.
"Uhm..." I clear my throat breaking the silence, "Do you have a phone?"
He glances at me in the mirror again before staring back at the road. He says nothing.
"You see, I live with my mom and she's got to be worried sick not being able to reach me." I lie, I haven't lived with my mom for a while now. This gets no reaction from him.
"I also have my son. I need to make sure he's okay as well." Maybe mentioning I have a child again he'll give me a phone. Last time he promised not to hurt me because of it so it is worth the shot.
"So, it's a boy." He states quietly to himself as if it was a question he was pondering over this entire time.
"Yeah, his name is Alex, he's two" Not that I needed to confess that to a stranger but I find myself smiling at the thought of Alex.
"And the father?" He asks sounding a bit annoyed.
"We split over a year ago." I admit.
"You rejected him, or he rejected you?"
"Rejected?" what an odd choice of words. "I dumped him, if that's what you mean."
Again, he is quiet.
"Why am I here?" I finally ask.
But my question is met with more silence.
"I don't understand. You said you wouldn't hurt me and that I can see my son again! So, what is it that you want?!"
He slams hard on the breaks. I fly forward and if it wasn't for the seatbelt I would have broken my face on the back of the passenger seat.
"Get out." He demands.
No questions asked, I quickly unbuckle the seat belt and jump out of the car. Before I can even turn around from shutting the door he is already standing beside me.
I finally notice how tall he is. He towers over me, and I am 5'7". I consider myself medium sized and he is by far extra-large. My Eyes travel down his tight white dress shirt that hugs his body, leaving nothing to the imagination. He definitely works out daily. I find myself dropping my eyes lower past his waistline and over his grey slacks. I wonder if anything else is extra-large?
"Hey!" He clears his throat and my red-hot face shoots up to meet his gaze.
He also looks like he is blushing, once again catching me gawking at his godlike looks.
I don't know what has gotten into me. I work in a warehouse, surrounded by plenty of men, most old giesers but there are some young fit hotties there as well. So i am use to being around attractive men. I have never once fanboyed over anyone like this, not in my 24 years of life. Well, my mom says when I was between two and three, I went through a faze where I tried to kiss all the boys at the playground, but I have long outgrown that. So, I thought, for toddler me seems to be resurfing and now has a thing for hot kidnappers.
"When we get in there, I will explain it all to you." He cocks his head to the right motioning for us to proceed in that direction.
I look over to my right. A few feet away stands a massive black gate. It seems to be the only way past a white brick wall that extends further than I could see. It reminds me of the great wall of China. Where the fuck are we?
As we approach the gate, men dressed in all black emerge from the forest on the other side. One on the left and One on the right. Suddenly a man is landing right infront of us like if he fell out of the sky causing me to jump into my kidnapper arms. The man lands on his fist and knee and stays in that position, his head bowed.
"Alpha Eli!" He says finally looking up at us.
Eli? I look at my kidnapper. Is that his name? Cute. Fuck, I have to be sick.
"Gamma Gabriel." Eli nods. Then the man now known as Gabriel stands up, walks over, and punches Eli right in the face.
What the fuck?! I immediately jump back in shock.
Eli doesn't say a word all he does is lifts his leg and kicks Gabriel in the gut sending him flying. Gabriel comes running back, tackling into Eli but he won't budge. Instead, he counters it with a headlock and begins grinding his knuckle into Gabriel's scalp.
I back up a few yards wincing in pain for him as he yells for Eli to stop. Noogies aren't as harmless as they looked. My brother gave them to me alot growing up and they hurt like hell, especially if you have a sensitive scalp. Come to think of it, they are behaving alot like my brother and I did. I wonder if they were brothers. It seems unlikely though since unlike Eli, Gabriel, has pale skin, dirty blonde hair, and dark eyes. He is extremely attractive as well, but they share no resemblance.
I study them together for a few minutes before Gabriel catches my stare, causing me to look away awkwardly. He pushes off of Eli and swipes downward at his clothes as if trying to make himself look more presentable.
"Well, hello little lady." he winks.
"Hi." I wave back as he approaches me.
"Gabriel." He reaches his hand out to me, and I take it expecting a handshake but instead he leans in to kiss it.
Just as the wetness from his soft thin lips stains my shaky hand, a loud growl shakes the night. I get so scared I snatch my hand from Gabriels grib, the momentum knocking me right on my ass. I crab walk backwards searching the surrounding woods for some type of large animal, dog, wolf, or Whatever that sound came from.
"Chill out dude!" Gabriel flops his hand in Eli's direction as if swatting him away. "You scared her half to death. What the hell is your problem?!"
I look up between them frantically. Did that sound come from Eli? Thats impossible.
"Need a hand?" Gabriel asks as he slowly approaches me again, trying not to spook me more. As he gets closer, he takes in a deep breath sniffing the air almost like how Eli did to me in the car.
"Human? But-" he sniffs again. What the hell did he mean by 'human'? He is an even bigger psycho than Eli. "What is that smell?"
He asks licking his lips.
Then there is that growl again, only this time it seems more like a thundering roar followed by pounding footsteps. Before I know it, Eli is right behind Gabriel, his hand on his left shoulder squeezing so hard I can swear I hear his bones breaking.
"Mine!" He roars his once blue eyes turning pitch black, including the Scleras. He again sends Gabriel flying back, this time full force into the iron gate.
What in the devil's ass was that?! Did i die and go to hell? The black eyes, animalistic sounds, the way his canines are enlongating, he is not human. Gabriel questioning the fact that I am human finally made sense. None of them are. They look like demons. This went from Law and Order to and episode of Supernatural really quick.
"What the hell?!" Gabriel says as he climbs to his feet, his eyes now just as black as Eli's. "No cheap shots if you wanna dance Eli!" He growls as he rolls his shoulders back and takes a fighting stance.
"MINE!" Eli shouts again. His chest is rising and falling uncontrollably with rage.
"Shit..." Gabriel lowers his guard and looks back and forth between Eli and I. "She's your mate." He mutters.
I'm his what, mate? Are they Australian or something? Where the fuck am I? I want to go home. My thoughts are racing through my mind, and I am trying to steady my breathing as I feel another panic attack coming on.
"Mine." Eli continues to growl possessively.
"My apologizes Alpha, I didn't-" Gabriel tries to take a knee but Eli is quick, snatching him up by the neck and proceeding to squeeze.
"Eli-" Gabriel chokes out, his pale face becoming red, and then purple.
My heart is trying to shoot out my chest, as I slowly get to my feet. I begin to sob against my will as I clutch my chest failing to keep it from tightening.
It is getting harder to breathe by the second for both me, and Gabriel.
I force in a deep breath, enough air in my lungs to carry me 2 steps before collapsing on the dirt road.
"Samantha!" I hear Eli shout my name desperately. So strange of a stranger to sound so worried, is my final thought before I pass out.
