Restore scroll position I'm back in hell. The screams, the fear, the blood, it surrounds me. How did I end up back here? I thought I had escaped. I thought I was free. I try to remember what happened, but I can’t. My senses are overwhelmed by the sounds and smell of the feeding room. The panic I feel only intensifies as I look around and I don’t see my friend. Sarah. How do I know her name? I can’t remember, but she’s not here. It’s only me and all of the dying humans. Maybe I’m dead. This isn’t where I expected to end up. I thought I'd be with my parents, someplace safe. Almost as if the Moon Goddess heard me, I catch the scent of the forest. The scent. that I loved so long ago when mother and I would walk around, gathering plants and herbs. The scent gets stronger when suddenly, it surrounds me and I am no longer in the vampire’s den, but I’m back in the woods. I'm still alone, but it feels safe here. It reminds me a better time, when things were good in my life. I begin walking around, not really knowing where I am or where I’m going. I find a sunny spot and lay down in the sun. I’m so tired, and the sun feels so good on my skin that I fall asleep. I wake up again in the forest. I look around me. I’m still alone but the feeling safety is still here. I take a deep breath. I forgot how much I love the smell of the forest. The fresh air, the slight scent of pine, the clean scent of the earth after a rain. I can smell it all and it makes my heart soar. If I'm dead, shouldn’t my parents be here? I stand and begin calling for them. I walk around continuing my search. Buy they are not here. There are only the sounds forest, birds chirping, a stream nearby bubbling as the water passes over rocks, crickets and frogs singing their songs in the grass. Peace. It’s a feeling I’ve forgotten. But now that I am feeling it again, I don’t ever want to lose it. I don’t know how long I’m here, sleeping when I’m tired, enjoying the forest around me when I’m awake. Nothing changes, it’s just me and nature. Then one day, I hear something. A voice, from far off. I quietly follow the sound trying to find the source. It’s a masculine voice and it’s the most attractive voice I've ever heard. There is something about it that draws me in. I hear a soft purring sound in my head. “Alessia?” There is no response, but the purr increases a bit. “Oh Alessia. If you can hear me, I’ve missed you so much. I love you. I’m trying to figure out where we are and maybe you can get stronger. +15 BONOS As I've spoken to Alessia, the masculine voice has stopped and Alessia’s purring stops as well, leaving me alone again. This continues off and on, until one day, I hear a feminine voice talking to the masculine voice. Alessia growls in my head. ‘What is it girl? Is it danger?‘ I ask my wolf. It doesn't feel like danger, it feels like....jealousy. That’s odd. Why would Alessia or I feel jealous over two people talking. The masculine voice stops and the smell of the forest around me dims. The feminine voice continues, and I feel a strange tugging on my arms. When the tugging has stopped and the sounds of the woman are gone, Alessia quietly says ‘Wake up.* ‘Alessia? Alessia are you back?” ‘Not yet, my sweet Angel, but I’m getting there. You need to wake up so I can get. even stronger.’ Share to your friends Chapter 169 Tip: You can use left, right keyboard keys to browse between chapters.Tap the middle of the screen to reveal Reading Options.
