Chapter 14

In the upstairs bedroom of the farmhouse, William lowered her to the bed and crouched down in front of her. Becca stared at the ceiling as though she were in a heavy daze. Shock was finally setting in.

From the moment they had stepped through the portal and out into the vast field beneath the Willow tree, Becca had said not another word. Her eyes had just fixed in front of her. William had scooped her up into his arms and carried her the couple of miles back to the farm house.

“Becca…Becca look at me.” His hand grazed her cheek, but she didn’t say anything or move.

“Okay.” William pushed up from the floor and went for his closet.

From the top shelf he grabbed a duffel bag. It had been a long time since he had used it, he thought as he set it down and opened it up. Inside were several vials, powders and liquids. He pulled out a container with a balm-like substance and opened it. A minty, earthy aroma filled the room.

Walking back over to Becca, he kneeled on the bed beside her.

“I’m gonna take your shirt off. Okay?” he warned.

Becca didn’t budge; she sat still, her eyes still looking up to the ceiling. He pulled the shirt up over her head and stared at the canvas full of Viktor’s canines.

It made him cringe at the sight and he had to force himself to control his rage. He dipped his fingers into the jellied substance and rubbed it between his hands. Expertly he began applying it to her skin, and rubbing it into each wound.

The warmth against her skin, the tingling beneath his hand meant it was working. Her body felt like it was coming back to life.

William crawled farther onto the bed behind her and was presented with the same blanket of injuries on her back. He sighed as he grabbed for more of the balm, warming it between his hands again and gently massaging it into each wound.

“Anywhere else?” he asked, even though he knew the answer. He was sure if he took her jeans off he would find fang marks lining the inside of her legs. As he came back around to look at her, she bit at her bottom lip. “Becca?”

“He….ummm…” She looked away from him and tears escaped down her face.

Her cheeks turned a dark red. A vision of Viktor on top of her. She was tied to the bed and he had his way with her. In ways that Davin had never dreamed of. All the times he had hurt her were nothing more than playground scrapping. Anxiety and terror rolled off her as the memory burned into her mind. William cupped her cheeks and made her look at him. He tilted his head so that it touched her forehead.

“Listen to me, it’s not your fault. Viktor is an evil, vicious man and cares about no one but himself,” William assured her, tucking strands of loose hair behind her ear.

She started to cry harder now as the entire memory played out further.
