Heaven

Battered

" i can feel it deep inside, rumbling around while waiting patiently. it's waiting for its chance to be set free. "

I was back in the forrest, I first awoke shivering while searching around. I was in a sweat suit that was now covered in blood. The grey material no longer in sight.

I look down at my hands while shaking violently, my hands were covered in blood and I'm willing to bet that there's blood on my face as well.

I'm not sure why I keep coming here, why this spot is so important. It kept drawing me in when I was sleeping, when I was most vulnerable.

I never had any recollection of getting here, I never knew why I woke up covered in blood. I'm not sure if it was some type of sign.

"What's happening to me?" I whisper out, bringing hand through my hair.

The night sky was clear and it was a bit chilly outside, my head pounded and all I wanted was one peaceful night of sleep.

I hear branches snap off in the distance and feel my body grow still. I closed my eyes and prayed that the noise would disappear but it kept coming.

I opened my eyes and I was surrounded by wolves, all flashing their canines at me, their eyes glowing bright.

My vision was blurry and I wobbled around before crumpling to the ground, I squeeze my eyes shut as pain surged throughout me.

I hear bones snapping around me before heavy breathing.

"Iliana?" A soft voice asks and my head shot up and my heart nearly dropped in my chest when my eyes connected with Graylens now wide blue ones.

I look around causing silence to grow as I made out their faces. Skeeter and Briar stood there while staring down at me with wide eyes, their jaws gone slack.

And than my eyes landed on his and it felt like everything around me crumbled and I could no longer breathe.

"It's not what it looks like," I whisper, my voice shaky as so many emotions slammed through me at a time.

Pain surged through my chest and I doubled over in pain, screaming out while clutching my chest.

Thunder clapped above us and I could hear them whispering, "Iliana, breathe baby girl," Graylen whispers and I cry out while rolling over onto my back.

I stare up at the night sky and felt tears roll down my face, "It hurts so much," I cried out and they all rushed forward.

Benjamin held my head in his lap while the girls surrounded me, looking for any injuries.

"It hurts," I cried out, reaching up to Bens face, I place my hand on his cheek and the moment our skin made contact it was like a grenade went off between us.

The girls growl, "They have no control when their around each other, it's like her vampire enjoys rattling his werewolf," Skeeter whispers out.

Ben hovered over me, "What happened?" He asks slowly and my head felt dizzy again, my vision blurring.

"Everything hurts," I cry out.
