Chapter 0061

Eli covers my head with a hood, so I can’t see where we are going. It’s enough for me to breathe and also to see bits of light here and there, but nothing specific. We walk for most of the night before we get to a group of cars. “Where are you taking me?” It’s not the first time I’ve asked, and I’m met with the same silence I received every other time. Eli hasn’t said a word to me since we left.

We get to a large SUV, he takes the hood off, opens a bottle of water and offers it to me. Since it wasn’t open before he offered it, I open my mouth and let him pour it in. I can go a long time without water but if he’s offering, I’ll take what I can get when I can get it.

When I’m done, he puts silver shackles on my ankles, puts the hood back on, then shoves me into the back of the SUV, sliding the cargo cover over me. Now, no one can see me from the outside and what little I could see out of the bag over my head is covered.

I take this opportunity to mindlink my dad. “Dad, can you hear me?”

“CARA! Cara, are you alright, where are you?”

“Dad. I’m okay. We’ve been walking all night. I think we continued west, but I’m not totally sure. My head has been covered.”

“We have trackers out searching for you right now. They picked up the trail. where we found Rik.”

“Is he okay?”

“Yes. He has come back around. The wolfsbane is still in his system, but he ist recovering slowly. Honey, where are you?”

“I don’t really know. There were some cars parked in a clearing. That is where I am now. I’m in the back of a black or dark colored SUV, it has four doors and a hatchback. I didn’t see a road and I can’t see anything now because they put at cargo cover over me.”

“Do you know what they want? Rik said it’s Eli Gunner?”

“Yes, it’s Eli. He told us he is an Alpha now, but when I said he didn’t smell like one,

he said he had a plan. I’m not sure what that means and he hasn’t said anything else about it.”

“We’re coming for you honey. Stay strong, do whatever you have to do to survive. You’re a fighter, you’re a Guardian and you’re my daughter!”

“You’ve trained me well dad. I’ll be putting all that training to good use now. We’ve started moving. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to contact you, but I will when I can. I love you dad.”

“I love you sweetheart. Stay strong!”

The mindlink cut out. I wanted to stay awake and try to figure out where we were going, but the long night and the sound of tires on the road lulled me to sleep.

I don’t know how long I slept, but when I woke, I could hear voices up front talking about where to stop. “Hey, I need to pee.‘

It was quiet for a minute. Then an unfamiliar voice said, “You’ll have to hold it.”

“For how long? It’s been hours and I can only hold it for so long.” I replied, hoping we would stop and maybe I could see something to figure out where I was. It was quiet again, then that same voice replied, “We’ll stop in the next 30 minutes. Hold it for now.

I’m guessing he’s mindlinking Eli, which means he’s not in this car. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. After a while, I feel the car slow down and turn right. We immediately begin bouncing around like we’re on an unpaved road, or possibly just driving into a forest somewhere. The jolts are making my already aching shoulders hurt even more, but I stay quiet.

We finally stop and the back hatch opens. The cargo cover is removed and I can see light, but not much more. “Get out“.
