Chapter 489: The island
Jabi
I open my eyes and the light from the sun hits
blindly. I am so weak, so hungry. I haven’t seen Lenny since that night. I haven’t been able to count the days since that night. I haven’t been able to stay awake for more than a few minutes. This is the most torture I have ever been through and I have been through a lot in my life.
I have been abandoned, not cared for, I have starved for so many days, but this ti, I don’t see a bright light at the end of the tunnel. I want to get out of here but I don’t know how else I can.
I try to sit up and
I can’t because I am so weak. The door opens and my heart lunges in my chest but that fear that I had disappears when I see a woman walk into the room. She is carrying a tray with her, as she walks over to the bed.
"You’re awake, finally,’’ she smiles as she drops the tray on the table beside the bed. I don’t even look at the tray, my eyes stay fixed on her. I didn’t know there was anyone here. I thought it was just
and Lenny. I think I’m too weak to be afraid.
"I ca to check on you, he said I should give you sothing to eat." She tells
even though I didn’t ask.
"Can you help ?’’ I ask her my eyes fixed on her. I want to stand up but I can’t. I don’t have the energy to even move.
"With?’’ she furrows her brows as she asks
quietly. There is a faint smile on her face, almost like she is oblivious to what is happening right now.
"Help
get out of here,’’ this ti, I manage to sit up on the bed and I see the raw at on the plate. He wants to feed , give
energy so that he can feed on
again. I will not give him the chance to win this.
"There’s nowhere to go, this is ho,’’ she smiles. I see the dead look in her eyes. She is being compelled right now.
"You are human,’’ I mutter in shock.
she nods and slowly sits on the bed beside
"Don’t you just love Lenny; he is everything you can ask for.’’
"Where is he right now?’’ I ask her.
She shrugs "He has been gone for a couple of days. He should be back soon,’’ she tells . This ti, I stretch my legs out, until they hit the wooden floor. My knees are weak but I lean over to the tray for the at. I need my strength right now because the fact that he is not ho ans this is a perfect ti to figure out what I am going to do.
"Lenny said I need to make sure you stay in your room, he said you are not strong enough to co out."
I ignore her words and reach for the plate. The at is cold, the blood is dripping from it as I place it on my lips. I can feel her eyes on
as she watches
eat. I look away from her and to the door, it is slightly open. If I can get out of this room while he is away, then I might be able to escape.
My bites increase, the hunger quenches as I eat all of the at. Whoever she is, she watches
as I finish the at.
"That’s gross,’’ she points out as I close my eyes and wait for the kick. The Lycan side of , getting exactly what I need to be stronger.
I part my lips "I need water,’’ I tell her. She nods her head imdiately and jumps up from the bed.
"I will be back," she tells
calmly.
My eyes watch her as she leaves the room and I silently pray as my heart races, the mont I hear the door close, I wait for the click sound. I pray that she forgets and just as I hear a footstep, a smile sprawls to my face. She is gone and the door is open.
I hold onto the bed as I get up and the mont I stand on my feet, I walk over to the door and open it up. I can hear her around the house, she is loud. She is the wrong person to have kept here but I am glad.
I open the door and the hallway is bright, brighter than the room he kept
in. I walk all the way down the steps as fast as I can. I walk until I see the front door, I can hear her rummaging through the kitchen, I ignore her sounds and reach for the door. I open the door and it is cold, but I feel the warmth that cos from the sun. I quickly close the door and continue to walk as I look for sowhere to hide, I need to get to the road. If I can do that, I can get out of here. Find soone that can help .
I look at the ocean in front of
one last ti before I head in the other direction. I am terrified, scared that he will find
but I keep walking. I keep walking until I see trees but there is a path, a path that could lead
out of the beach and to the streets. I walk into the forest and for so reason, I don’t feel like this is the right place. I keep walking but it seems like I am going in circles.
Like there is no way out of here, I turn and turn, lose all the strength in
but I don’t give up. I keep running in hopes that I will find a way out of here but when I get back to the beach, I know that I am in a ss.
I know that there is no way out of here.
I am on a fucking island.
"No,’’ I cry as I stare at the ocean and the sand.
"No,’’ I repeat.
There is no way out of here.
