Chapter 368
idental Surrogate Chapter 368-E
“E!” Cora screams as one of the menes around her side of the car and starts to bash at her
window with a crowbar,
the ss cracking and then beginning to fall inside the car. But I have no time to respond I’m already –
unbuckling my belt and throwing myself into the back seat towards my child, who screams bloody
murder.
My eyes sh to the other side of the car, where another man is approaching, raising his own crowbar to
begin bashing the windows. I panic now- we’re trapped, utterly trapped, no way to get out of the car –He
starts to smash at the back window, working to get in towards Rafe and I, and I make a snap decision,
instantly
transforming into my wolf and, as the crowbar breaks through the window, grabbing it between my teeth
and yanking as hard as I can –The man shouts, pulled off bnce so that his arm is fully in the back of
the car now, and I drop the crowbar – ignoring the ringing in my jaw and teeth- and snap again, higher
this time, my teeth sinking into the flesh of his elbow and upper arm.
He screams, trying to yank back, but I sink back into my haunches, snarling, letting him rip his arm to
shreds as he tries to pull away from me –He leaves quite a bit of blood behind as he withdraws his hand
and arm from the car, dropping the crowbar as he goes –and I transform back into my body, turning
towards my screaming son but distracted again as I hear Cora scream I gasp, spinning towards her,
and see the man who broke into her window almost fully in the car now – grabbing her a knife in his
hands And in horror I watch as he raises that knife high into the air and then sinks it, viciously, into the
flesh of her back – and
then wrenches his hand to the side to drag it through her flesh –1000+ instruments & 1st-ss
education.
But before he can get far I am flying for him, my nails turning to talons at the edge of my fingers that I
sink first deep into his arm –As he shrieks and drops his knife, I rip my ws again over his face, his
neck, his shoulders – anywhere I can reach Screaming in fear, the man withdraws from the window to
the left side of the car and I hurl myself out after him, shifting again into my wolf before leaping for him –
savaging him in any way I can –I don’t stop until he stops crying out, stops making noise, and then I turn
to see the man with the shredded arm leaning back into the car-reaching for my son and I leap for him
next.
His death is quick, his life’s blood running off my chin as I transform back into a woman, as I turn to look
for the priest.
I turn to see him standing in front of the car, his dark magic still whirling around his hands and extending
outwards towards the car, working to keep us in ce.
“If you leave now,” I growl, striding forward towards him, “I will let you live. But you have seconds to
decide.”
“Come for me, little girl,” heughs, beckoning me forward.
And so I do.
With a feral roar, I let my nails again extend into their talons, let my teeth sharpen into fangs, and then
leap for him, ready to tear his flesh to shreds –
But before I can reach him, he moves his magic away from the car to wrap around me. I gasp, wing at
my throat as the dark shadows wrap around my neck, my feet kicking wildly as he lifts me into the air.
And then, as I watch, he begins to murmur – begins to say some kind of spell –And I feel my fangs shrink
back – feel my ws retract back into my hands And then heughs at me again before lowering me,
panting, back to the forest floor.
I stare at him in confusion, in wonder, for a second while he shakes his head at me. “What now, little
girl?” he murmurs,
cocking his head at me with a filthy smirk. “What do you have to fight with now that your wolf is gone?”
And I snarl – and try to transform but Nothing happens. I gasp, stumbling backwards a step as I try
again But – nothing –And then I’m backing away from him, desperate, knowing that I – I can’t fight him if
I don’t have my wolf –And he takes one wicked step towards me when both of us snap our heads to the
side at the sound of the car’s tires squealing, the engine revving hard And I gasp as the car ms into
the priest, making him bend in half before sending him sailing to the forest floor where he hits his head,
hard, against a long grey rock.
“E!” Cora gasps from the car and I’m instantly in motion, dashing for her –I haul the driver’s-side door
open and am almost sobbing by the time I set my eyes on her – – blood – so much blood and my sister
covered in it-“Cora!” I cry, reaching for her – but she’s moving away from me – and as I watch I realize
that she’s moving into the passenger seat so that I can get into the driver’s seat so that I can drive.
“E,” she moans, looking around frantically, trying to assess the damage.
“Let’s go,” I growl, throwing myself into her abandoned seat, ncing quickly into the back seat at my
screaming child,
making sure that he’s still strapped in. Then, as soon as I m the driver’s door behind me, we move.
I back up the car a few steps, staring at the priest who suddenlyes into view but who is not moving,
a wide red puddle starting to form on the rock on which hended. But then I move my eyes back to the
road before us, hitting the gas hard and heading towards it.
We’re out of the forest in the sh, leaving the horrible scene behind. My breath ising fast, my heart
racing, my hands shaking as I try to at once concentrate on the road and assess my sister.
“Cora!” I yell, looking over at her, seeing her eyes closed. “Cora, talk to me!”
“I’m I’m okay,” she murmurs to me, – a heavy moan next on her lips.
“Tell me for real, Cora! Tell me what’s happening! Don’t try to save me from it!”
I press the car harder, flying down the roads at what is probably a reckless speed, praying to the depths
of me that we don’t meet any more priests – any more barreirs –Cora’s eyes sh open and I nce at
her. “I’m serious, E,” she pants, pressing a hand to her back where she’s bleeding. “It was a – a
ncing stab. I don’t think he hit anything too important – It would” she gasps when I hit a bump and I
grimace when I see the pain sh across her face, see her go white with it.
“Keep going, Cora!” I encourage, my eyes moving fast between her and the road. “Tell me!”
“I’d be in more pain,” she gasps, “if he’d hit a kidney. I think I think it will be okay, E – but I have to get
to a hospital, now -”
“No we don’t,” I growl, whipping the car to the side and making Cora gasp as we pull to the road’s
shoulder.
“E, we have to go!” she screams, there could be more of them!”
“No!” I shout, mming the car into park and then taking panting breaths as I close my eyes. Cora goes
quiet as she realizes what I’m doing, but even though I can reach thatvender state – even though I can
sense my gift when I reach for it, it…
It slips out of my hands.
“Cora,” I cry in agony, my eyes flying open. “The Priest 1 he did something to me – he bound my wolf, I
can’t reach the gift.”
“It’s okay,” she says, leaning forward to grasp my shoulder and gasping with the pain it causes her. I
shake my head at my sister, fear and apology all over my face. “Seriously, E,” she says, panting a little,
“it’s fine. Just – let’s get back on the road, okay? I need medical attention. And if you can’t get it, we have
to go somewhere else.”
“Okay,” I say, gritting my teeth, determined. And then I get us back on the road as fast as I can. Soon, the
wind whipping through the broken windows begins to howl around us. “Okay, Cora. I’ll get you there. I’ll
take you to the hospital as fast as I can.”
“No,” she gasps, gritting her teeth and closing her eyes. “Take me to Hank – he will know what to do. We
have to go see Hank.”
“Okay,” I say, nodding anxiously. We’ll go to Hank. Right now. He will fix you up.”
I turn towards the road with renewed conviction as my sister gasps beside me, as my baby cries in the
back seat. And then, before I lose myself to the road, I reach beneath me to grab Henry’s phone, which
must have fallen out of Cora’s pocket.
“Here,” I say as it bounces in herp, making her open her eyes. “If you can, Cora – text Sinir. Tell him
what happened.”
And as I concentrate on the road, Cora reaches for the phone.All rights ? N?velDrama.Org.
