Chapter Nine
"You will be mine," Brandon says, pulling me to my feet. "We're going back into the chamber and now that you see you can't escape me, maybe you'll finally accept your fate."
I won't, of course. I won't ever.
"Help!" I scream, shocking myself with the sound. I hope someone in the woods will hear me, though I know the only people near us are those from his pack. They would delight in my torture.
"Help!" I scream again.
Brandon laughs, but then I notice something he doesn't see. There's someone watching us from the shadows.
He's looking at Brandon like he's trying to gauge something. Is he trying to figure out if he can take him down?
Then, the stranger looks at me. Like he's trying to figure out if he can help me. If I'm worth helping.
"Help me!" I scream, and his eyes meet mine. There’s hope there. Like maybe he could be my hero.
"Help!" I scream. "Help!"
