Consequences

Tyler



 The slamming of a door wakes me up. I open my eyes, and pain radiates through most of my body. I am lying on some sort of mat on a cold stone ground. The smell of mold permeates all around me as water drip from an unknown place. There is some faint light coming from somewhere. I try sitting up, but my body is on fire. ‘Castor?’ I call to my wolf, but he only whimpers.

 “Get up, little wolfie,” A familiar male voice tells me. I roll onto my back and look up at Barabas. He pats my cheek, “I wish I could kill you, but Boss wants you alive.”

 I open my mouth to speak, and only a whisper comes out, “What?”

 Barabas laughs, “We slit your throat. You probably will never speak again. Not that I care. You murdered my wife.”

 I narrow my eyes at him and remember the female vampire I killed a week ago because she was attacking Amber. “She attacked Amber,” I whisper.

 “I can’t fucking hear you, wolfie,” Barabas laughs. “Now, get the fuck up,” He hisses and pulls on my arm.

 I open my mouth to scream from the pain, but nothing comes out as Castor whimpers. I am pulled into a sitting position and get a better look at where I am. I am in a cell of some kind in some dreaded dungeon. “Where?” I mouth.

 “Oh, you are in a place no one will ever find. Amber is in a place no one will find, and your brother,” Barabas pauses. “Your uncle will probably have him killed.”

 My blood runs cold. Skylar idolizes Carlton. Why would Carlton kill Skylar? I stare at Barabas. 

 “Barabas,” A deep voice bellows, and I see Marcellus Lafayette enter the cell.

 “Yes, Boss,” Barabas rises and leaves the cell.

 “He really wants to kill you,” Marcellus says casually. “I don’t blame him.”

 I move my mouth to speak, but the pain in my throat is almost too much.

 “Oh, sorry about that. They slit your throat. We healed it enough to keep you from dying for now, but I’m afraid you may never speak again,” Marcellus explains. 

 I narrow my eyes at him.

 “Get up,” Marcellus orders me.

 I glare at him and shake my head. ‘I would rather sit here,’ I mutter in my head.

 Marcellus narrows his eyes, grabs my shoulder with his long nails, and pulls me to my feet. I nearly fall, but he slams and holds me against the wall. “I want to look you in the eyes,” He grins. 

 I try to look away, but he grabs my chin and forces me to stare into his cold red eyes.

 “Amber should have known that I am no ally. Sure, I will tell her the truth about the fall of the royals. Amber, your twin, and you are supposed to be the next royals. But many people do not want that to happen,” He explains. “Personally, I don’t care what you filthy mutts do. But some mutts see my value in helping them, so I have been paid handsomely to keep you three from becoming royalty.”

 He lets me go, and I slide down the wall a little as my legs feel like jelly. I keep my eyes on the vampire.

 “You have no value to me,” Marcellus hisses. “But I did make a deal with your mate. As long as she cooperates with me, I will not kill you. So as long as Amber is a good girl, you will live,” He smirks and then turns to the cell door. “In three days, your bond will sever. The werewolf world will fall into chaos as Carlton Brooks and others take back what they feel they lost. Your own ancestors were responsible for taking down Dunstan Arco. That is why the goddess paired you with Amber. She wants to heal the rift. But it will never happen,” Marcellus cackles before leaving the cell and slamming the door shut. 

 I stare at the door for some time before sliding to the floor and burying my head in my hands. ‘Castor?’ I call my wolf.

 ‘I’m here,’ he whispers. 

 ‘Are you okay?’ I ask him.

 ‘I am doing my best to heal your wounds, but I am losing strength because of your brother’s rejection. It affected all of us,’ Castor explains. My heart breaks. 

‘Can you feel Lilith?’ I ask him.

 ‘She isn’t far, but some sort of barrier keeps us from talking to each other,’ Castor says.

 ‘So, they are alive?’ I ask.

 ‘Yes,’ Castor responds, and I feel some relief.

 ‘What now?’ I ask as I look hopelessly at the door. 

 Castor has no answer.

 I close my eyes and dream about a happier place where I am with Amber and our pups. They look so happy and peaceful. My heart aches as I wonder if we will ever get that. The dream vanishes when the door slams open, and Barabas hovers over me, holding a bowl.

 “Are you hungry?” He grins and drops the bowl at my feet. It shatters, and the food within it splatters everywhere. “Enjoy,” He smiles and sets a bottle of dirty water on the ground before walking out.

 I stare at the food, and the hunger in my belly drives me to pick some off the ground to eat. I am surprised that it tastes good, or I am desperate. I lean against the wall and examine the place I am trapped in. The ceiling soars high above me, and I realize there is no ceiling. One lone light sconce on the wall provides light as natural light doesn't reach down here. I take a deep breath as I devise a way to escape.

 Don’t give up.

 A disembodied female voice echoes, and I get a chill as I close my eyes again to return to the dream of a future I may never have.
