《Triumph Book 1》Chapter Eight
Advertisement
After being rejected by my other half my mind went in to a deep dark place, it swallowed me whole. I'm in so much pain my whole body hurts, its hard to even breathe. I felt Like I had an elephant sitting on my chest.
I laid on the woods floor wishing the earth would swallow me up. I knew I had to get home I'd been out all night, Matty must want to kill be by now. It took every thing in me and my wolf just for me to stand.
It was about noon when I made it back to Matty's house, the moment I stepped on the porch the door swung open revelling a very pissed off Matty.
"Where the fuck....Audrey?! What's wrong?! Are you okay?!" She says franticly as I fall to the porch and begin balling my eyes out.
I cried all night Matty didn't ask why all she did was hold me and tell me it's going to be okay. Matty never left my side I ended up falling asleep my head in her lap.
I woke up to the smell of bacon and biscuits and gravy. I sit up in my bed rubbing my sore eyes, I don't think I have ever cried so much in my life than I did last night.
I walk to the mirror in my room, I was taken aback a little when I seen my reflection. I looked like death my brown hair had dirt and leaves caked in to it, my eyes where red and empty. My whole body was nasty, I looked away from the mirror and went to find a towel I needed to get all the nastiness off me.
After a hot long shower I got dressed and went down stairs to the kitchen. Matty and her family where cooking breakfast, when I came in to the kitchen the entire mood shifted.
"Do you want to talk about it honey?" Matty's mom asks, I shook my head "I'm fine, thank you for helping me out I really am thankful for all of you".
They respected that I didn't want to talk about it at the moment, I ate breakfast with them and tried to forget what happened to me last night.
Eventually I got up the courage to tell her what happened I went out on to the porch where matty and alan where. "Its so hard to go on, I lost Willow and now the person I'm made for throws me away after using me" my head drops in to my hands as the tears start to flow.

When I finally calm down I look at Matty she hasn't moved her whole face is red, she was so mad right now. "That fucking bastard!" She screamed, slamming her fist on to the porch. Alan looked just as pissed off he was slightly shaking but he kept his cool.
Matty gave me a huge hug. "I'm sorry Audrey you deserve better" she says reassuringly "thank you guys for always being there" I hug Matty tightly wishing I could change everything Alan puts his huge arms around the both of us "we will always be here for eachother" alan says smiling at me.
After a while we all went back into the house "what about plan B?" Matty asks. "We can move it to tomorrow but I cant wait any longer" I say worried about what my brother could be doing to my little sister. They both agreed it was passed time to go after willow we where all worried about her.
The next day we where ready to go save willow, Eve had emotionally drew back from me she was so quiet ever since Leon rejected us. I wanted to make her feel better but she understood we needed to get to willow first.
Getting in to the earth kingdom was the easy part, I knew where he lived I just didn't know how we where going to be able to grab her and get out of here in time. We pulled up to his house I made sure no one could see my face, it looked like he was home his old truck sat in the parking space out front. I can't belive he still had that thing, the house was not bad looking clean and freshly mowed but i couldnt help but feel the outside was deceiving.
Matty and I steped out of the car "wish us luck" Matty says nervously
"You guys will do fine" Alan says reassuringly.
As we got in to position my adrenaline was pumping I was so scared to get caught but I needed to save willow. I stood on the right side of the building waiting for Matty to ring the bell so I could sneak around back.
Matty rang the bell, after waiting a few minutes Danny answered the door. "Can I help you?" Danny says his voice sent me in to almost a panic, I quietly slipped in the back sliding door.

I walk into his kitchen being as quiet as I can, I hear Matty talking loudly and excitedly about products she was "selling". I follow the hallway to four closed doors, I peaked in the first one was empty. The next one was as well then as I neared the second to last closed door I heard muffled sounds coming from the other side.
I slowly peaked in the room, I stopped in my tracks as Willow came in to view. Her little body was tied to a pink potty chair in the corner of a very dirty room.
It smelled like piss and mold, the room was empty except for the chair, and a pallet on the floor. She had lost so much weight my wolf howed in pain at the sight, "Willow?" I say quietly her tear filled eyes shot to mine and she burst in to tears.
I ran to her "shh baby it's alright, I'm here now" I wipe her tears and get the tape from her mouth " shh willow listen you need to be really quiet okay?" She nodds her head. I untie her and pick her up, she is so lite and frail I almost break down right there.
Once I get her out the back door I slowly creep to the right side of the house and peak around. Matty sees me out of the corner of her eyes, "so would you like to buy anything today sir?" Matty askes sweetly "yes, you" he says cockly I roll my eyes. "Well have a good day" she says totally blowing him off, danny slams the door. As soon as the door is shut we run to the car, when we get in to the car Alan speeds off.
I look down at willow shes clutching me for dear life, her little face was pale. My little one I'm so sorry I was suppose to watch after you and this happened, I look up at Matty tears in my eyes Matty takes one look at her and starts to cry "she's so tiny" matty turns in her seat and strokes her hair.
"It was awful Matty, he had her tied to a potty chair!" I say horrified, Willow wines as she opens her eyes she lookes so scared "we are here baby dont worry" I brought her closer to me.
We stopped in a small town in the water kingdom to get willow some water and food, I go inside and order food while Matty and Alan watch after her. I couldnt quite yet get her cleaned up but I would have her in the air kingdom by morning.
"Audrey I want you to have my car okay? You get her out of here as fast as you can" Matty tells me when I come back with our food order. "Your car?!" I say suprised "yes" she says handing me the keys.
I hug her tightly "thank you Matty it means the world to me" she hugs me back just as tightly "I'm always here for you guys". When we finish eating I take Matty and Alan back to Mattys moms house, "in about 3 hours we will light your old house on fire" alan says as he gets out. "Thank you so much alan" I get out and hug him tightly "email me when you find a computer okay sis?" He asks.
I smile and look up at him "of course I will" he smiles at me, I could see he was sad that we had to leave but I knew deep down we would be back one day.
Alan peaks in the car and kisses willow on the forehead, I go to Matty and give her one last big hug. As I pull out of the drive way I wave to them and they wave back Matty has tears rolling down her face.
I take a deep breath and look back at willow who had fallen back asleep, we where finally free and I can now finally keep her safe.
