Chapter Nine- He Remembers the Cracked Faces

Allen listens to his own heart beating softly, as he slowly opens his heavy eyes to be greeted by darkness. He could feel that his wrists were free from the shackles, but my body was so numb he could hardly move it.

His big brown eyes widen, he hears someone whisper, but even were they saying, he couldn't make it out. Again they begin to whisper, it fades in and out, as if taunting the small boy, the eeriness beckons him. The sound continues, growing in volume, growing and growing. He beings to hear more voices, it became overwhelming, 'it hurts! I want it to stop, I want them to stop, its too loud.'

He urges his trembling hands to cover his ringing ears, but he could hardly move, 'PLEASE SOMEONE! HELP!' He screams in his mind, his attempt to speak, as pointless as it is. Over the time, he has forgotten how to even for sounds, Pathetic as he calls himself.

But still every sense of what he could do didn't matter right now, he wants them to stop shouting at him. He keeps on screaming in his mind, screaming for them to stop, it hurts so badly, it made him cry.

" P....pp.....Pl...ea...see.e..e... st....st....o....p.." He finally manages to get something to push past his pink lips. Even as loud as the voices are it seems as though they heard him, they stopped. He could hear his voice echo back to him as he sighs in relief, he listens to the cracks and how quiet he sounded.

He looks around the room and begin to see 'faces?!' he pounders. They were hard to see but the more he looks the more the light grew around him and the more faces he saw, each and every one staring back at him.

He begins freaking out, 'its them, the faces'. His heart beats roughly against his chest and he could hear his frantic breathing, body trembles, 'when will it stop hurting'. He watch their faces carefully as they're the only thing he could focus on, the cracks, the doll masks. He remembers every mask, he remembers how they hunt him down in all of his nightmares, how in every one they catch him and drowned him in a tub, he remembers how much he would kick and scream, they would not stop.

The low rumbling of laughter begins, it only grows thought the room. He is scared. Like ghosts they float in the air, black smoke emitting from their suited bodies, they start whispering again but softer. They rise higher in the air and all at once rush towards Allen. His burning eyes flew open, it was just a dream, another nightmare like the rest, but at least this time they didn't drown him.

The soft wind cruises through the thick forest and members of the pack were doing their regular route check, running through my the woods making sure no one was trespassing. The midday sun beams through the large windows of Mark's office, the room is full with his family. Mark sat in his chair behind his desk, his elbows rested on in front of him on the large oak, his limber fingers entwine as his strong chin rest's or rather props against them, his brows furrows as he thinks.

Olivia stands behind her husband, her hands massaging his tensed shoulders, her mind full of worry for her family and the level of stress that keeps growing. Tom is pacing back and forth in front of his father's desk, his hands fidgeting behind his back. His wolf howls in frustration wondering when will it have it's mate, thinking if it will ever gets his mate as his stupid human already ruined the trust bond between them.

Axel sits on the couch bracing the wall opposite his parents, his hands stuck in his brown hair, his blue eyes shaded with red, anxiety and frustration biting him in his every thought. His wolf trying to claw it way to the surface, wanting to vent out his anger and confusion.

Axel body starts to shake rapidly, his fingers gripping into his locks tighter, he listens to his parents muffled voices as they talk. And in an instant he breaks, unable to hold his wolf back, his hands fly with a force onto the couch, the stinging sound catches the attention of everyone else in the room.

His bones cracking, clothes tearing, hair growing from his body, his eyes turns black. He falls on all fours off the couch as his body finishes shifting, the low growling threatens everyone around him.

They watch the ashy black wolf as it stand as if it was threatened, " shh … Sweetie calm down" Olivia says. " You're mother's right son, your too angry right now, shift back before you hurt someone" his father say's sternly.

Tom just stood watching not knowing how to react, his parents keeps on trying to calm the wolf down by talking to him, but Axel's wolf, Anick, mind was wrapped in rage, all he wants to do is vent.

He snaps his jaw at them as they try to get closer, he backs up more into the couch. His tail touches it, Anick leaps through the air and lands on Mark.

Mark's hand held the wolf's face, trying to hold onto the snapping jaw from biting him, Tom wrap his arm around Anick's neck raising him off of their father.

The large wolf trying to break this hold ends up ramming Tom's back into the bookshelves, Tom grunts but doesn't let go of his brother, he shushes the creature in it's ear.

" Calm down, I'm right here...…. Can you hear me" Tom says but the creature still tries to break away. " ANICK, LISTEN TO ME, I'm right here, I'm holding you, it's me Tom" he says as the large wolf begins to calm down. " That's it, shh …." Tom continues to calm Anick.

Finally calming down his eyes shifts back to blue as he shifts back in his brothers arm, the two boys slides down unto the flour. The naked Axel back presses against his brothers shirt, he begins tearing up and turns around and buries his face in the shirt.

Meanwhile back in the pack's wood, the pack's beta chats his way into a moment of intimacy. " Oh cup cake I don't think its safe for you to play that game around me" Brayon said and before she can even speak he smashes his lips on hers and then kiss her neck.

He presses their bodies together and begin grinding, their tongues dances for dominance, their bodies played and toyed with each others. Brayon let's his lips graze up her neck to her ear, he nibbles on her lobe and then pulls it between his teeth. She shivers in his touch and as much as she would like to continue the Raven hair girl knew her task.

She places her hands on his neck and pushes his confused face in front of hers , "As much as I would love to continue with you I have yet to say what I came here for" she says as a smirk pulls from her thin faded black lips.

" What do you want " Brayon asks impatiently, his deep curious voice sends a shiver up the raven hair girl's back. "Well we both want the same thing basically" she says. " And what's that" Brayon notions.

" Well let's just say, I want to sabotage their chances to get back the sweet little fairy " she says, and begins twisting some strands around her finger again.

" What!? " Brayon says." Let's discuss shall we " the raven girl says with a sadist look burning in he eyes.
