My Second Chance novel Chapter 33

Sapphire's P.O.V

I was quietly drowning in my sorrows when I heard a knock on the front door.

"Who is it?" I called, not at all wanting to get my ass off the comfortable couch. Its been four hours since Clover left and I'm already missing her. Silence replied me and I perked my ears to listen. I heard breathing and their heart beating. I smelt a little musky scent and... magic! I widened my eyes. Shit! The witches. I'm now pretty sure they work for Graysen. I was panicking inside. What am I going to do? I took a deep breath and called out.

"If you're the postman than you can just slip the letters in. I'm having... woman business!" I mentally face palmed. Really? Woman business? Gwen scoffed and Drew snickered. I panicked okay, I defended. They aren't leaving... Gwen whimpered. Anymore things I could learn before the fight? I asked Drew, carefully eyeing the door. They were going to knock the door down soon. Nope, Drew popped the P. It was nice being with you, Gwen grinned. Shut it, we aren't going to die... The most just being Graysen's mate, but still... I tried to reassure her. I would rather die, Gwen shrieked. Now's not the time to freak out. Stay calm and focus, Drew snapped and I couldn't help but agree with her.

Another knock snapped me out of my thoughts. "Who is it?" I snapped. At least fool them that I didn't know who they were. Then, a series of knocking continued, not stopping for a second. Fists kept pounding and pounding nonstop. Fear consumed me.

Don't just stand there, are you embracing your death or something? Do something, Drew snapped. Do what? I wailed. Hide in a room, Gwen suggested. Don't be an idiot, they'll find you in the matter of seconds, Drew groaned. Then what? Gwen retorted. Shut up you guys! I screamed at them, successfully shutting them up. I began pacing up and down the living room. Then, I remembered something. Shit! I groaned. What? They asked stimulously. That grey pen. That fucking grey pen. I just couldn't remember earlier, I cursed. Just spit it out, Drew growled. The grey pen I used to sign the contract, I saw it once in Graysen's office. This was all a trap! I cried out. Crap. Okay, either way, I'd rather die than mate to him, Gwen reminded. And my head would explode if you don't shut up, I grounded out. She held out a surrendering posture.

The pounding increased and I heard the hinges squeak, almost giving out to the pounding. I darted into my room and lock the door. I then pushed the bed and wardrobe against it. This should buy me some time, but not for long. I looked around the room. My blue eyes landed on the open window. I stuck my head outside and looked down. I was only on the 3rd floor, not too high from the ground. I could easily jump. But is a dark alleyway, Gwen whimpered. It's better than staying here, I shrugged. I heard the front door smash open and my breath quickened. I had my eyes trained on the bedroom door. What astonished me was that I freakin forgotten that they were witches and had magic. The wardrobe against the door slowly shifted away, as if pushed by invisible hands. Jump! If they do the same thing with the bed then they'll get to us! Gwen screamed. The bed started moving and I took a deep breath. I jumped down from the window and with a little help from Drew, landed gracefully on the ground. Go go go! Gwen yelled in panic. What happened next went in a blur.

I was ready to sprint down the alleyway when something struck me. I fell face first onto the ground. I turned my head to see dark grey eyes peering at me. They weren't the gorgeous shade my mate had, they were dark, showing that he was a ruthless and cold person. But I couldn't help to check him out. He was hot, not as hot as you-know-who, but still hot. He's six pack was outlined by the black shirt he had on and his jeans hung low on his waistline. He's hair was gelled up.

He smirk at me, knowing very well that I was checking him out.

I scrambled to my feet as soon as my mind wrapped around that he was working for Graysen. Before I could fully stand up, something was jabbed into my arm. I turned to see clear liquid slowly flowing into my arm. I cries out as a hot searing pain went through my mind. I... Sapph, I... Something's wrong with me... Gwen cried out. Wolf bane, Drew growled. Drew, it doesn't effect you right? I asked hopefully as my eyesight turned blurry at the edges. It does, you guys are in pain, the pain is already effecting me, she growled.

Then we have no chance of escaping... I sighed and closed my eyes, letting the darkness consume me.

I have given up... fully, utterly and completely.

Ryder's P.O.V

All of us stepped out of the elevator, knowing that we would have to put up a fight before Sapphire would let us in. Clover rushed excitedly but suddenly stopped and paled.
