It was the sound of sothing falling on the floor.
Out of curiosity, Gabrielle bent over to check. It was a screw from the table.
As she was about to get up, bang!
The palet under the table fell and landed on Gabrielle's head.
It hurt so much that Gabrielle almost cried. Who did she ss with lately? It was one thing she was kidnapped. Now, a pallet fell on her head.
Gabrielle was so furious that she sat on the floor. And he kicked the fallen plate as hard as she could. It rustled, and sothing seed to be inside...
Gabrielle kicked it open and saw a green thing in the size of a column. She approached and took a closer look, and found it was a whistle.
Underneath the whistle was a slightly torn book. The fonts fainted, and Gabrielle could vaguely say wolf control.
What the hell? Wolf control? The pack of wolves outside the cabin was terrifying.
How about let wolves control her instead of the other way around?
Gabrielle didn't know whether to laugh or smile. She felt the world was being an to her.
"Is everything ready?"
Gabrielle heard talking outside the door. They probably thought Gabrielle had nowhere to run, so they talked as she didn't exist.
"No need. See, there are wolves everywhere. They are hungry. Perhaps they sll prey and get desperate."
"You better make this right. I want everything to go according to the plan."
"Don't worry. We have a plan B. As long as Avery shows up, she will wind up dead," The man paused and said, "What should we do about the woman in the attic?"
"Keep an eye on that woman. Don't do anything to her yet. She's useful to us."
"Is the 1000-year-old witchcraft real? I don't think there is anything special about her except being pretty."
"I'm warning you not to try anything. She's what the master of town wants. Don't lose a big ga over her."
Gabrielle kept grinding the ropes while listening to what Diana and her n said. She couldn't sit by and wait. She had to find a way to tell Avery.
After a while, her efforts paid back, and the rope was broken. Gabrielle pulled the rope as hard as she could, and it finally got loose.
Gabrielle rubbed her red and swollen wrists. Just now, she decided to sneak out at night and grabbed the kidnapper's car key.
There were so many wolves outside. Gabrielle couldn't make it out alive with any vehicle.
Anyway, her kidnappers didn't worry, and she would escape. As long as she behaved carefully, they would not notice she got rid of the rope.
There was so ti until night. She didn't have anything else to do. So she picked up the book that fell with the plate.
It was a book on how to control wolves. Gabrielle couldn't help laughing out. Why didn't they give her a kung-fu book? At least it would help her get out at night.
Avery flipped through out of boredom. Suddenly, she paused.
There was a picture inside the book...
And the woman in the picture looked exactly the sa as her.
Was she Tina?
What Diana said with the master of the town instantly occurred in Gabrielle's mind. She should be Tina.
Gabrielle and Tina did look alike. Gabrielle couldn't help wondering it was her picture.
How could two look so alike in the world unless they were twins?
Twins?
How co? Gabrielle's mother abandoned her when she was little and left her at Peters house. But she never heard she had any sibling.
Gabrielle took the photo with her. If she could get out of here alive, she had so digging to do. She had to find out whether she and Tina were related...
Gabrielle turned one page after another. As she read, she found it boring. There weren't many words but music sheets.
Gabrielle took the green jade whistle. It was a delicate whistle with a phoenix rising from the ashes. Underneath the whistle, said Tina.
So this whistle belonged to Tina, and music sheets had sothing to do with it.
Gabrielle couldn't think of another musical instrunt that could play the music in the book. It was unusual. Even if Gabrielle didn't study any music, she knew the music notes and how it would sound high and low...
Thinking so, Gabrielle took the whistle and blew it...
Gabrielle couldn't think of another musical instrunt that could play the music in the book. To avoid being heard, Gabrielle got up and moved to the window. She took one peek, and to her surprise, the wolves were still there and got even closer.
Maybe they knew Gabrielle was watching them, the wolves looked up at the sky and howled. The sounds kept coming, and it was majestic. Gabrielle thought she might use the wolves to get out of here if she learned how to control them.
Gabrielle put the whistle in her pocket and made a few sounds according to the sheet. Then she looked at the pack of wolves, and they all laid down.
Gabrielle couldn't believe what she saw. The whistle really worked?
Gabrielle made more notes with suspicion. And wolves had different reactions hearing different music.
At the ti, Gabrielle heard the sound of the lock opening. She hurried to hide the book and whistle behind her back. So they wouldn't notice she untied herself.
Two n ca in, saying, "Did you just whistle?"They looked around and found nothing suspicious.
Gabrielle sat on the window and wouldn't move around. She said innocently, "What whistle? I did with my mouth."
In case they didn't believe her, Gabrielle pouted and whistled. It sounded similar to what they heard before.
The n didn't suspect Gabrielle. They warned her, saying, "You better not try anything, or we'll toss you out for the wolves."
Gabrielle nodded, and she knew they would deliver the threat.
One man said to another, "Hey, that woman is pretty. Why don't we do sothing interesting..."
Then the other man knocked his head, saying, "Do you forget what Diana said? Don't invite trouble!"
One said, "Why do you get so timid? What's to be afraid of? If you don't tell anybody and I don't tell anybody who would know?"
The other said, "Cut the bullshit! Keep it in your pants. Let's go!"
The kidnapper was grabbed and locked the door after they left.
Gabrielle was relieved. Luckily, she had her hands behind her back the whole ti.
After they were gone, Gabrielle practiced a few more tis. Each note she made, the wolves had different reactions.
At night, Gabrielle had morized all the music sheets. However, she heard the bad news. Avery was coming to save her!
