My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Chapter 37: The Witch

Caleb opened his eyes to find himself lying in a dark closed space. It was way too dark for him to have a clearer view of the things. He had no idea how long he was out, but he wondered whether or not was it nighttime.

“I see you are finally awake” Caleb heard a familiar voice speak to him.

“Matt”? He questioned and looked around. “What are you doing here? What am I doing here? What is this place”? Caleb bombarded his friend with all these questions.

“If I knew I wouldn’t be still here” Matt grunted in frustration.

“Can’t we get out of here”? Caleb asked.

“Of course we can. I am still here because I have nothing better to do”! Matt replied with heavy loaded sarcasm. “The walls, the doors, everything is loaded with wolfsbane here. Even touching that hurts”.

“I wish I didn’t get separated from my brother. My links aren’t even working here anymore. I finally know that woman was the witch, I wish I could tell him that”! Caleb sighed with frustration.

“What woman”? Matt asked with confusion.

“From whom you brought a bracelet”. Caleb replied.

.....

“I didn’t buy any bracelet. I went to Sara’s straight”. Matt replied.

“Then… who was the woman? Why did she deflect me”? He thought and said out loud. “Wait”, suddenly something hit him, “You met with Sara”? Caleb asked.

“Yes”. He nodded. “In fact, I even remember trying to leave… ” he said while he revisited his blurred out memories.

“She said she didn’t meet you”! Caleb interjected. “I called her”. He. explained.

“Why would she lie”? Matt shrugged.

“No way” Caleb whispered. “You don’t think she is one of them, is she”? He asked reluctantly.

“No way, we have been dating for almost a year. You don’t think I would have noticed if something was off about her”? Matt protested.

“I don’t know, would you”? Caleb challenged.

“I...” Matt began but tried to think of their past. “I think I would”. He whispered.

“No you won’t ” a feminine familiar voice replied to them this time. Out of nowhere the lights went on and blurred their vision for a moment. They looked ahead to see Sara standing there on the other side of the barred door. “Otherwise you wouldn’t be here”.

“Why are you doing this”? Caleb asked furiously while Matt stood there frozen with shock.

“That is something I would tell you before I kill you”. She smirked. “I was saving Matt for the last but since you escaped last time, I guess it couldn’t be helped”. She scoffed.

“What did we ever do to you”? It was Matt who asked her this time.

“What did my parents ever do to the wolves”? She raised her eyebrows, “You people still killed them”.

“What are you talking about”? Caleb asked.

“In the year 2010 my parents moved here after my Dad got transferred. My mother who was a witch never used magic knowing well enough witches were banned in the quarters”. She scoffed. “Until one day a wolf attacked her out of nowhere”.

She paused to observe the reactions in their faces. They waited impatiently for her to finish her story so she continued further, “She injured the wolf to protect herself, it was self defense, but the news got out and you know what your father ordered to do to her”? She said with rage while she pointed at Caleb.

“She was mauled by the strongest wolves, and so was my Dad who tried to protect her”. she was on the verge of tears as she recalled it. “I am sure if they found me from my hiding spot they would have done the same thing to me. Luckily they couldn’t smell me, so I couldrun away”. She finished her story.

“I have no trouble believing you. In the name of leadership my Dad is capable of doing all sorts of cruel things. But are going to kill each and everyone of the wolves in here”? Caleb tried to reason with her.

“No, that would be silly. If I kill them they won’t suffer the way I suffered after they died”. She said with a scary smile.

“So why us then”? Matt questioned her.

“Cause you were the ones that are related to the wolves who killed her. Your fathers…” she gestured at them. “Mr Wesley but Mr Stetson… whom I had to kill because he had no one else, until, of course, when his nephew showed up” she shrugged.

What about James’s friends? You killed them as well. Neither of them had anything to do what happened to you”! Caleb shouted at her with anger.

“Well, it was hard for me to get to James when he was all by himself. For someone who shows off his strength a lot he sure kept a lot of lackeys with him all the time”. She shrugged.

“Anyways, I still wanted to spare them since I found all of them unconscious by the time I reached their secluded spot. But wolf healing woke them up before I was done with James, so I had no other choice left”. Caleb tightened his fists as he heard Sara speak about killing those innocent people as if it was not any big a deal at all.

“You can say it was just some collateral damage” She smirked, quite proud of herself for using that analogy. “Just like this one would be when I am done with both of you”. She nudged her head towards another direction in that shared basement. Both Matt and Caleb observed closely to find a teenage boy lying on the floor unconscious while his hands and legs were tied. On a closer look Caleb realized it was none other than Ashton.

There were two things he failed to understand. One, just how did he get here? And Two, how much did Sara actually knows about Ashton to be able to not only get a hold of him, but also to keep him down like this?
