The Forgotten Child

Chapter 5

Alyson took a deep breath and walked further into the cave. There she saw the wolf of Hayden, his brothers, his father, Kaden, Luca, Nate, Dylan and Elliot.

"Oh shit, you guys scared me!" Alyson said putting a hand on her heart.

"Get out," Hayden said his voice venomous.

"What?" Alyson asks confused.

"Get out!" he growled again. Alyson felt a fear spike in her as they all stood up and started to approach.

"Holy shit! You can't be serious you all are going to attack at once! there is no freaking way!" Alyson said backing away from the approaching group.

"Ah looks like you've found my nice little trap. You'll be useless in battle if you won't stand against the people you care for most," James says laughing.

"Honestly!" She shrieked both in her mind and out loud.

"Yes, now boys. Attack!" James gave the order. And the group reluctantly followed it.

"Hey, you guys can't be serious you're not really going to hurt me are you?" Alyson asked. Just then Dustin lunged for her. His massive black wolf nearly knocking her on her ass before she could recover Collin pounced at her.

"I'd expect this outta you asshole. But not you Collin! Honestly, what is going on?" Alyson spoke aloud as she backed out of the cave's entrance. She heard growling from behind her. She quickly looked behind her and saw the white wolf she'd talked to was standing with a pack of wolves.

"No, I can't let you all fight for me! Especially these guys!" Alyson said to the pack of wolves. But they remained as they were. The pack of Weres were approaching Dustin lept out at her again. The white wolf stopped him.

"Fine but don't hunt to kill! Hunt to disable, no killing! If they flee let them leave," Alyson ordered the wolves. They howled their agreements.

"Alyson please get away from us," Hayden's voice desperate as if he's struggling immensely against something.

"I'll figure what's going on! And release you from it!" Alyson promised.

"No, it is his will. You won't be able to break it!" Hayden snapped.

"Well you did, didn't you or else you wouldn't be speaking to me now," Alyson said as the wolves surrounded her in defensive positions. She heard a yelp and saw the fox had brought a gang of foxes too. And together the wolves and foxes fought against the Weres.

"I'm going to put my faith into you and your pack members that I will be safe as I'm gone from my body," Alyson said to the white wolf and the fox that followed her.

Alyson sat in the middle of their protective circle. She would've prefered to be in a tree but the trees were covered in ice and snow.

She went into her mind and looked for Hayden's mind bridge. She found it but it was missing the wooden planks that connect them it only had the ropes. Alyson growled.

No way this would stop her from going into her boyfriend's mind cavern. She closed her eyes and pictured a stronger bridge. A walkway where the planks wouldn't fall out, something strong.

Stone seemed stronger than the previous wooden planks. But the old bridge was easy to master. Alyson closed her eyes and imagined a single rock. She placed on her island and slowly started to build it pulling more and more rocks to form a strong bridge it looked like the kind the Romans made way back when. 

Alyson smirked pleased with herself. She made it grand and easy to walk on. No more fear of falling into the black pits.

She gently touched her foot to it and made sure it was sound. Then she walked across it. If James thought he'd stop her he'd be shit out of luck.
