Uhhh Why is Life so Complicated?!?!?!, Sarah Becker [reading in the dark TXT] 📗

is!!! FOCUS!! I mentally yelled at myself. “Zoey think for just one second. Where are you going to go once you get past that door? Do you even know where council hall is? You can’t just go in there screaming bloody murder you need a plan!” Zack said shaking me slightly his intense gaze burning into my eyes. I slumped into Zack’s chest. “Your right,” I whispered softly. “If I ran in there with no plan I probably would have just gotten myself killed. But I don’t know what to do and just the thought of Ramu having the nerve to kidnap them makes me want to beat the living shit out of him!!!” “Me too but I’d really wouldn’t like it if you got killed. We need a plan and then we can go kick some ass. Okay?” He said to me will kissing me softly on the lips making a burning sensation in my tummy. “Okay, but we have to hurry we don’t have that much time.”
Ten minutes later we were huddled up in the biggest and loudest van we had with a full proof plan. We waited outside the council hall for another five minutes before some of the council men came outside to find out who was making all the noise. As soon as I saw them Zack and I snuck out of the van from the back so they couldn’t see us and quietly moved toward one of the windows at the back of the building that was always left open. As soon as we had climbed in a guard started running toward us. We easily knocked him out and dragged him to a corner. “Well, that was kind of easy.” I said wiping my hands on my jeans. “Let’s go find my parents.” “Uhhh Zoey? I think you spoke to soon” Zack said grabbing my arm. Confused, I looked over to where Zack was staring and saw that another fifty or so guards had turned up in the hallway probably heading to the front of the building. “Shit! Run!” I yelled and Zack immediately complied holding onto my arm tighter and taking off down the hall. Zack pulled me into a corner and I stiffened my body making sure to be as quiet as possible. I heard the heavy footsteps of the guards and gripped Zack’s arm tightly. The guards ran right past us not even giving us a second glance. I let the air out of my lungs not realizing that I had been holding my breath. “This way,” Zack whispered tugging on my arm. He led me through so many different hallways I almost thought we were lost until we came to a slightly open door. It wasn’t open wide enough for us to see who was in there but it was wide enough for us to hear what they were saying. “-ready to be reasonable yet?” I heard Ramu’s scraggly voice say. “Bite me,” A voice that I recognized instantly as my Dad’s and l let out a silent breath of relief that he was still okay but probably not for long……. I heard a sharp snapping sound and a grunt and suddenly a muffled scream. Mom! The anger bubbled up in me. If they laid one finger on her I’m going to break each one of their bones one by one I silently promised myself. Curiosity soon got the best of me and I slowly eased the door open a little giving a small thanks to God when it quietly eased open. Now able to see I peeked my head in making sure that no one would be able to see me while Zack looked inside over my shoulder. The first thing I saw was Ramu’s back which was faced to the door so he couldn’t see us but right in front where Ramu was standing was my Dad duck tapped to a chair his skin was soaked with his own blood and I could tell he was in a lot of pain even though he wasn’t showing it. I heard a small mumbled noise from the corner of the room and saw my mom duck tapped and gagged on the floor her eyes wide and tear streaked when she saw me come in. I raised a finger to my lips to signal for her to be quiet and she gave me a small nod to show she understood. “I’m beginning to realize that you are going to continue to be difficult so if your pain isn’t going to convince you to say yes, I guess I’m just going to have to hurt your wife.” Ramu said viscously walking over to my Mother and pulling her up by the hair. “No!” My Dad yelled at the same time. Ramu flicked his hand leaving my Dad to wither in pain on the floor. I could hear my Mom’s muffled screams. I pushed through the door. “Stop,” I yelled at him. Which he immediately did, before turning around to face me. He looked surprise to see me at first but soon masked his face with a too bright smile that sent shivers down my back and not the good kind. “Ahh Zoey, here to save the day I see.” Ramu said while at the same time removing his grip from my Mom’s hair. “Zoey, Get. Out. Of. Here. Now.” My Dad said between clenched teeth. I could literally feel his eyes glaring at the side of my head. “No.” I said firmly and put all my attention back on Ramu. “You wanted me here Ramu and you got me now let my parents go before I kick your ass so hard you’ll end up in China.” Ramu chuckled softly at me and I continued to glare at him. “Poor, sweet, innocent Zoey. Did you really think I would just hand them over? Did you think that I went through all this trouble just to give them back when you showed up at my doorstep?” “Yes because you will give them back and I will be going with them.” I said firmly clenching and unclenching my fist. “Oh really? And why is it, do you assume that I will be letting any of you go?” I saw a flicker of movement in the corner of my eye and saw Zack and my Mom hurriedly untying my Dad. Zack must of untied mom while we were distracted. I silently thanked him and glared back at Ramu. “Either you let us leave or we force you to let us leave but no matter what I and my family will be leaving completely intact and alive.” “We shall see about that Zoey.” Ramu said in a calm voice that for some reason made the anger inside of me bubble even higher. “Yes we shall.” I heard the deep rumble of my Dad’s voice and could feel him standing behind me. I saw a flicker of fear cross through Ramu’s face at sight of my Dad but it was soon masked by a blank look of nothingness. “You force me from my family, kidnap me and my wife, Tie and gag us, beat me and my wife, then you threaten my kid. This is the last straw Ramu. You will be petitioned out of the council and you will be executed.” Ramu gave out a harsh laugh. “You can’t petition me out of council without any proof and I am positive you don’t have any.” “Really?” My Dad said raising an eyebrow up at him. “What about my scratches and bruises? What about the note you left for my daughter? What about my broken window and invaded house? And if that doesn’t convince them the security footage will. You can’t get away from this Ramu. Admit it.” Ramu went pale slightly and I could see his eyes looking around the room for a possible escape. Suddenly he lunged to the left and the next thing I knew he had his arm around my mom’s neck with a knife pressed against her throat. “Get back or I will kill her.” He said viscously. The anger that I had been trying to calm down for the past hour suddenly shot up in a big wave but this time I didn’t try to stop it. It passed through me so hard I swear my vision turned red and then there was pain and the sound of bones cracking. I saw Ramu’s eyes widen and I felt hair start to sprout all over my body and my mouth grew longer while my teeth grew sharper. My hearing and eye sight were suddenly in tune with my surroundings and the net thing I knew my first shift was over. I was a werewolf. I growled low in my throat at Ramu silently commending him to let my mom go. He gulped and I watched his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down in his throat. It looked so tempting……. “Let her go Ramu or else I’m not sure I will be able to stop her from hurting you.” My Dad’s voice brought me back to the real world and I again growled at Ramu baring my fangs at him. Ramu shakingly let go of my Mom who immediately ran over to my Dad who held her tightly to his chest and kissed her forehead. During the distraction Ramu had tried to scurry away but I immediately ran after him and knocked him to the floor, my mouth hovering over his neck. “It’s okay Zoey” I heard Zack’s luscious voice say before slowly pulling my big wolf body off Ramu. I snarled at Ramu one more time before silently retreating into the warmth of Zack’s arms. Then everything went black.

CHAPTER 14: A legend?
I groaned slightly from the pain in my head and tried to ignore the sunlight shining on m face. “Zoey, baby wake up. How are you feeling?” Said the very familiar, very sexy voice. I reached my hands up and could feel the hard biceps under my hands. I moaned slightly trailing my hands up until I could feel hair under my hands and moaned again but louder this time. “Zoey, I think you should let go.” Said that same husky sexy voice. Who is he? Where am I? The questions trailed through my head but soon disappeared into nothing when I heard a soft groan. My eyes popped open and I suddenly remembered who the sexy voice was belonged to.Zack. Zack was straddling my hips his head over my face with my hands tangled in his hair and his mouth clenched tightly. ‘Let’s have some fun’ I thought with an evil smile. I tugged harder on Zack’s hair planning to move him over to my lips but instead I guess I tugged too hard because soon Zack’s face was right in between my breast. And that’s when my Dad walked in. “What the hell do you think you’re doing!!!” My father bellowed and I cringed slightly at the loud sound that made my head pound harder than it was before. I felt Zack quickly scramble to get off me and immediately went cold from the lack of his body warmth. “Ummm I was just-“I heard Zack scrambling to explain himself and with a sigh, tried to heave myself up from the bed. “Don’t worry about it daddy- God my head hurts- it was my fault, I kind of pulled him onto me. Guess I’m stronger than I look,” I said shrugging my shoulders but then groaning from the pain of it. My Dad’s eyes flicked from me to Zack and back to me. I knew he probably didn’t believe me but I also knew he was too worried about my head to really get into it. With a nod he faced over to me again. “How are you feeling?” A frown creasing his forehead. ““Fine,” I said trying not to
