Chapter 489: The island

Jabi

I open my eyes and the light from the sun hits me blindly. I am so weak, so hungry. I haven’t seen Lenny since that night. I haven’t been able to count the days since that night. I haven’t been able to stay awake for more than a few minutes. This is the most torture I have ever been through and I have been through a lot in my life.

I have been abandoned, not cared for, I have starved for so many days, but this time, I don’t see a bright light at the end of the tunnel. I want to get out of here but I don’t know how else I can.

I try to sit up and

I can’t because I am so weak. The door opens and my heart lunges in my chest but that fear that I had disappears when I see a woman walk into the room. She is carrying a tray with her, as she walks over to the bed.

"You’re awake, finally,’’ she smiles as she drops the tray on the table beside the bed. I don’t even look at the tray, my eyes stay fixed on her. I didn’t know there was anyone here. I thought it was just me and Lenny. I think I’m too weak to be afraid.

"I came to check on you, he said I should give you something to eat." She tells me even though I didn’t ask.

"Can you help me?’’ I ask her my eyes fixed on her. I want to stand up but I can’t. I don’t have the energy to even move.

"With?’’ she furrows her brows as she asks me quietly. There is a faint smile on her face, almost like she is oblivious to what is happening right now.

"Help me get out of here,’’ this time, I manage to sit up on the bed and I see the raw meat on the plate. He wants to feed me, give me energy so that he can feed on me again. I will not give him the chance to win this.

"There’s nowhere to go, this is home,’’ she smiles. I see the dead look in her eyes. She is being compelled right now.

"You are human,’’ I mutter in shock.

she nods and slowly sits on the bed beside me "Don’t you just love Lenny; he is everything you can ask for.’’

"Where is he right now?’’ I ask her.

She shrugs "He has been gone for a couple of days. He should be back soon,’’ she tells me. This time, I stretch my legs out, until they hit the wooden floor. My knees are weak but I lean over to the tray for the meat. I need my strength right now because the fact that he is not home means this is a perfect time to figure out what I am going to do.

"Lenny said I need to make sure you stay in your room, he said you are not strong enough to come out."

I ignore her words and reach for the plate. The meat is cold, the blood is dripping from it as I place it on my lips. I can feel her eyes on me as she watches me eat. I look away from her and to the door, it is slightly open. If I can get out of this room while he is away, then I might be able to escape.

My bites increase, the hunger quenches as I eat all of the meat. Whoever she is, she watches me as I finish the meat.

"That’s gross,’’ she points out as I close my eyes and wait for the kick. The Lycan side of me, getting exactly what I need to be stronger.

I part my lips "I need water,’’ I tell her. She nods her head immediately and jumps up from the bed.

"I will be back," she tells me calmly.

My eyes watch her as she leaves the room and I silently pray as my heart races, the moment I hear the door close, I wait for the click sound. I pray that she forgets and just as I hear a footstep, a smile sprawls to my face. She is gone and the door is open.

I hold onto the bed as I get up and the moment I stand on my feet, I walk over to the door and open it up. I can hear her around the house, she is loud. She is the wrong person to have kept here but I am glad.

I open the door and the hallway is bright, brighter than the room he kept me in. I walk all the way down the steps as fast as I can. I walk until I see the front door, I can hear her rummaging through the kitchen, I ignore her sounds and reach for the door. I open the door and it is cold, but I feel the warmth that comes from the sun. I quickly close the door and continue to walk as I look for somewhere to hide, I need to get to the road. If I can do that, I can get out of here. Find someone that can help me.

I look at the ocean in front of me one last time before I head in the other direction. I am terrified, scared that he will find me but I keep walking. I keep walking until I see trees but there is a path, a path that could lead me out of the beach and to the streets. I walk into the forest and for some reason, I don’t feel like this is the right place. I keep walking but it seems like I am going in circles.

Like there is no way out of here, I turn and turn, lose all the strength in me but I don’t give up. I keep running in hopes that I will find a way out of here but when I get back to the beach, I know that I am in a mess.

I know that there is no way out of here.

I am on a fucking island.

"No,’’ I cry as I stare at the ocean and the sand.

"No,’’ I repeat.

There is no way out of here.
