Chapter 101: Chapter 101

Alpha Hayden's grip tightens on my hair, making me whimper loudly in pain once again. I don't let him drag me that easily, it takes all my energy but I try to stand my ground and keep him from dragging me to wherever he plans on going to abuse me. With much difficulty, I manage to rid my hair of his hand but it quickly grabs on my wrist.

A hot slap lands on my cheek, my ears ringing with despair from it “Stop fucking resisting! If you make a scene, I'll do more than just take you to bed, I'll kill you so I suggest you be a good little girl and listen to me.”

“I would never sleep with you, you're disgusting! Just because you're Alpha here doesn't mean you can do anything to me!” I cry out.

His grip on my wrist tightens and he flings me to the nearest wall. I land with a thud, my vision blurring as he strides after me to grab me off the floor once again.A loud cry emits from my lungs, its effect echoing the room. The sound of metal clanging on the floor fills the room, accompanied by gasps and whispers. Alpha Hayden is no longer moving, I feel him tense behind me.

“Enough!” Camilla screams, I begin to blink the tears away, my gaze settling on the space I know she should be at.

Camilla stands tall across the room, her hand tugging at the chain on right hand. I gulp, taking in the bruises on her feet, the blood oozing freeing from where the chains laying at her feet should be strapped around her wrists. The chain she's tugging at drops with a clanging sound, it the only audible sound in the room. My mouth runs dry, eyes widely watching her and her chains.

“Wasn't I loud enough?” she asks softly, slowly walking towards us. Alpha Hayden stiffens, his grip on my wrist tight enough to make me wince. “I said, let her go.” she whispers.

Nobody moves to stop her, I suppose they're in shock just as I am, I'm trying to figure out how she broke free of the chains that held her captive without so much as wincing. Her hand reaches for mine, attempting to pull it from Alpha Hayden with no success.

Camilla shakes her head, her hand tugging Alpha Hayden's free hand and whirling it behind his back, his grip around my wrist loosening enough for me to break free of his hold. I instantly stagger back with a cry, tears streaming down my face as I do.

“That wasn't so hard now was it?” Camilla roars, in a soft tone. I barely recognize her voice, there's a dark grace about it, something spine chilling. Her eyes are as distant as her tone is and something about that just unnerves me.

Alpha Hayden wiggles out of her grip and she grins, looking directly at him. “Who let her loose? Grab her, and this time, finish her off.” Alpha Hayden orders, his finger snapping to alert his guards who act mindlessly upon his request, one of them pulling out a sword.

“No.” I whisper, my gaze settling on the sharp blade he approaches Camilla with.

Alpha Hayden chuckles, “Since you seem to love each other, you can watch her die.”

Camilla snorts bitterly, “I'm done playing nice with you Alpha's, you think you can walk over me don't you? ” She asks, slanting her head towards him.

When none of his guards react fast enough, despite being close, he grabs Camilla by the arm himself, restraining her against his chest.

Camilla laughs maniacally, her foot rising and plunging into Alpha Hayden's crotch, throwing off his game. His hands free her, reaching down to cup his balls, an audible groan of distress escapes him making Camilla chuckle even more. Turning around, she swings her foot right into his chest, sending him flying into the same wall he flung me into a few minutes ago.

Two of Alpha Hayden's men attempt to grab Camilla but end up on the floor, one with a dropkick and the other with a smack across the face. I blink, my eyes falling to the guy that fell with just a single smack. My brain is questioning everything I've ever known, I don't recognize who this is right now. It appears to be Camilla but comes across as if something, some demon has invaded her soul. There's a darkness to it, one that makes the kind of darkness that I used to see in Adrian's eyes trifle.

Her hand wraps around his throat, all Alpha energy seemingly disappearing the second she kneed him in the balls. I make a mental note, 'Always go for the balls' as I stand frozen into place, watching the alteration of power in this predicament.

Alpha Hayden struggles in her hold, his hands reaching to jerk his hands off his throat, but this only makes Camilla squeeze harder. The man with the sword approaches Camilla from behind, sneaking up on her, I try to warn her but the words are caught up in my throat, they don't get to leave.

“Try that shit,” Camilla snorts, her gaze shifting from Alpha Hayden to over her shoulder. “I swear to God I will slay this bastard with my bare hands.” she warns, her hand squeezing at his neck harder, making his eyes pop wider. Alpha Hayden nods at the man behind Camilla, “Do what she asks.” he manages to voice out, with much difficulty. The effort to get the words out leaves him looking a little more pale. The sound of him losing air is heard across the silent room.

“Set everyone free right this fucking second or I swear–”

Alpha Hayden aggressively nods in response, making Camilla pause mid sentence. Once the unspoken order is given by Alpha Hayden, his men mice quickly, unlocking cages and unstrapping ropes altogether. Camilla stays quiet the entire time, ordering Alpha Hayden to move to her command and he does.

“Good, we're going to play on my rules now.” Camilla says, her hand leaving Alpha Hayden to fall back. She twirls around, her hand pointing to Alpha Hayden's guards. “Let them go right now, Belle.” she says turning to me for the first time since she broke free of the chains but even now, she's distant.

My head shakes in response, my body unmoving as well.

“What the fuck is with the yelling?”

That voice comes from the other entrance, it's Luna Charity. Camilla's annoyance at the sound of her voice is audible and loud, “Shut the fuck up.”

Luna Charity rolls her eyes, her feet approaching Camilla while she stares her down. Her hands reach for Camilla's head and pull on her hair, Camilla's defence is quick. She slaps Charity's hands away and grabs her by the hair. Swinging her and tossing her to the door she came in and followed her, no one speaks a word to her no so they move. It seems Alpha Hayden's guards only ever move under his command only, with a snap of his fingers.

Camilla's hands reach on the ground, her hand grabbing a chain and a blade sitting dominantly on the ground. Charity scans Camilla, discerning the blade and chain she pushes her body back against the wall. Camilla pauses, looking over her shoulder to a struggling Alpha Hayden. “You wanted to make Belle watch me die right?” she giggles, her gaze shifting between him and the weapons in her hand. “Well, how about you watch this little overzealous bitch die right now?” she pouts, kicking at Luna Charity's feet.

“No, no, please...Hayden do something.” she screams, her gaze searching desperately for her husband.

“Beg me on your knees.” Camilla whispers softly, Charity's jaw drops, her gaze stuck on Camilla.“Which one should I use?” she giggles, turning to me. When she sees me, her eyes light up. A dark light that sends more chills down my spine. “ Belle, which one do you prefer?” she pouts, watching me with an indistinct reaction.

I don't respond, my blood is running cold, I don't recognize Camilla. I can't figure out what is going on with her, I've always known what she was up to but now, I'm lost. She examines both weapons in her hands, “It's the chain right? Yeah?”

No words are said, Camilla drops the blade and

Kneels to meet Luna Charity, the chain in her hand wrapping around her throat with all Camilla's might.

“Hayden!” Luna Charity cries out, distress filling her.

“Please stop it... Stop.” Alpha Hayden lets out, snapping his fingers. His guards act quick to help him off the ground and she chuckles. “When I begged you to let my Belle go, you ignored me. So why should I hear your cry Alpha Hayden? I had asked you nicely but no, and you're commanding me not asking politely so my answer is no too.” she snarls, her hands tugging roughly at the chain once again. The friction is audible for everyone to hear.

“No, this isn't who you are Camilla, you're not like him.” I whisper, my voice barely audible to her but I know she hears me because she shakes her head. Alpha Hayden's Beta enters, saying something on his phone before it drops, grabbing Camilla's attention.

The distraction is enough for someone to hit Camilla on the head, making her lose complete control of the chain around Charity's neck. Those strong enough to flee have long fleed and those here are once again being attacked by Alpha Hayden's men. Alpha Hayden grabs a sword, stumbling forward. His Beta assesses the surroundings, unable to grasp the situation and honestly I don't blame him, I've been here the entire time and I still can't grasp what is going on here.

Camilla's hands go to her head, catching a droplet of blood from the side of her face. My vision blurs, my hands reaching for my head to touch the spot where pain exudes. My ears ringing instantly as I stare back at Camilla, wide eyed.

Camilla grips the leg of Alpha Hayden's right hand and tugs on it, dropping him on the floor. She crotches over his body and grabs his weapon, a large blade which she plunges into him before he can counter. Blood splutters on her face and I scream, looking away from the sight. Camilla's laughter begins to echo the room as she rises, spinning in a circle. I call her in an attempt to stop the maniac madness she's fallen into but my statements fall on deaf ears. Everyone is trying to tackle her steps back, giving her enough time to grab Luna Charity. Camilla flickers the large blade between her fingers in a way that seems familiar, she lifts her hands and plunges into Luna Charity's chest. I gasp at the first stab, at the same time Charity screams.

Camilla drags the blade a little deeper, someone sneaks up behind her and she snorts, her hands lifting the blade above her shoulder and her back declining until the blade is plummeted into her attacker's thigh, making him cry out, his iron bar stick dropping on the floor. Camilla acts quick, taking advantage of every opening she can get. Her hands reach for the iron bar and then she begins to swing, swinging it in random directions as if it has no weight to it.

It's like she's gone deaf and crazy altogether. As I'm watching her, an arrow plunges into her arm, making her gasp silently and waver in her trail. Her eyes travel to the arm where an arrow now sticks out, her gaze roaming to find who it was that dared to take a swing at her. A growl of disapproval echoes from her, at the same time I see Alpha Hayden slinging a tiny blade at Camilla.

The blade doesn't make it to her, Beta catches it in his right hand, the blade cutting through his hand when he does. Alpha Hayden grunts in annoyance, “Goddamn Kingston!” he yells, his fists punching the air in fury at Beta's act. The sound of cages slamming and disapproving whines from the prisoners we found here louder than anything he can say.

“Tee was so fucking right, the moment you lose focus you lose everything.” Camilla stumbles, her hand reaching for the arrow stabbed into her arms. She pulls it out without flinching, blood gushing from the now open wound.

“Fuck.” she curses, her eyes discerning the blood oozing from her wound. She stares at the arrow in her hand and shrugs a little, jabbing it back into her open wound. I flinch at the sight, my eyes closing momentarily and my ears awaiting the famous 'Camilla scream.' However, it doesn't come, the scream never escapes her lips, Camilla makes no sound, the only sound I hear from her is a giggle and the sound of what I presume is another body hitting the ground which makes me open my eyes.

I gasp at the sight, Alpha Hayden bas leaped on top of Camilla, pinning her hands to the ground as she struggles in clear discomfort. Even then, there's no fear in her eyes but I feel it within me, I feel it on every inch of my body. Fear of what he plans to do to Camilla begins to sink in just as someone hits Alpha Hayden across the head with a hard steel bar, knocking him off Camilla.

My gaze rises to check the handler to the steel bar, the person I'm secretly grateful too for saving Camilla from Hayden's approaching wrath. He looked like a mad man from the moment that Camilla plunged that blade into his luna. I'm shocked by who it is, Beta.

Once again, Beta has saved Camilla from Alpha Hayden. It's then that everything gets crazier, Alpha Hayden's men begin to attack both Camilla and Beta, surrounding them like hunters circling their prey. I stay unmoving until the feel of a hand wrapping around my throat and pulling me back into a hard chest makes my skin crawl in anxiety.

“Camilla!” I wail, my eyes fluttering shut in an instant. Camilla doesn't respond to me though, instead a number of groans echo my scream.

My eyes slowly blink open, afraid of seeing Camilla's dead body and thankfully I don't see it. What I see is the opposite, Camilla bashing Alpha Hayden's head with a sledgehammer that I didn't see her or any of his men grabbing. She begins to hit him on the head with it, blood splattering from his mouth and head to the floor when she does. Alpha Hayden cries out, unable to stop her from disfiguring him. The sound of his cries dies out but that doesn't stop her, Camilla is like a possessed woman. She's a mad woman at work, she continues to hit him, the sounds of friction from his head colliding with the hammer not irking her at all. She lifts the hammer and rests it beside, only to pick it up a second later and hit Alpha Hayden's now lifeless body. A loud crack is heard around the room, a buckload of crimson splashing all over Camilla's face and coating the floors harder.

My gaze withdraws from the scenery instantly, my eyes shutting and body stiffening in the shivering arms deterring me. I just saw Alpha Hayden's cursed skull, Camilla crushed his skull. She's covered in blood, the man holding me with shivering hands is going to kill me.

Camilla not only overpowered an Alpha, she killed his luna and proceeded to kill him in the most nerve-wracking method I've ever seen. I've watched my brother kill, his methods are slow and torturous but this, this is a new level of Mania I've witnessed.

But, is it really real?

Camilla doesn't kill people, Camilla is innocuous so this must be a dream–nightmare. Yes, this is a nightmare, I'm going to wake up and it'll all be gone, all of it will be extinct when I awake.

But no, Camilla is standing in front of me, drenched in the blood of an Alpha and his people, this isn't a dream, it can't be a dream. She's here, her bloodshot eyes are cast over my shoulder to my captor.

“Leave.her.alone.” someone growls over my shoulder, the tone has a no nonsense effect to it, all humor dead to it.

The trembling hands holding me disappear, the sound of feet running echoing in my earshot. “Belle, I said run, dammit I said get out of here!” Camilla screams, my attention drawing to the hammer in her hands dripping with blood, just like her clothes. My vision begins to blur, darkness consuming me as I fall to my assumed death, but it never comes.
