Chapter Three
‘...Well, what the hell happened to her?’
‘I don’t know sir, I was just out walking my pups and came across her’.
‘Well, something fucking happened! I want to know what!’.
‘Calm down Sebastian. Just be grateful he got there when he did’.
A heated discussion cut through my sleep. It felt like I had been asleep for years, a deep sleep at that, but not a good one. I felt awful. My head was pounding and I ached all over. As I started coming around a little more, I could still hear the conversation going on somewhere in the close proximity, but I was more aware of loud beeping.
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP
Where was that coming from?
BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP
I blinked a few times with my eyes still closed before I opened them slowly and a bright white light invaded my vision. I had to close my eyes again instantly. It took a few more tries before I was able to open them properly and take a look around the room.
Everything was white and looked sterile. This was a hospital. I was in a hospital, why?
….and then everything came flooding back!
I shot up, panicking, confused, scared. My eyes found my parents and they came rushing over. Mum started pushing my hair out of my face while my dad fumbled to hug me, the affection he didn’t often give.
More and more memories started to invade my head and it became too overwhelming and I burst into tears.
‘W-where is he?’ I sobbed. They ignored me and just kept fussing. The door opened, making them both instantly pull away from me. A doctor, an older man, stepped in and asked to speak to my parents privately.
Privately? It was obviously ABOUT me, why couldn’t I hear too?
They left the room and closed the door behind them. The curtain was pulled closed so I couldn’t even see them. It wasn’t until then that I realized someone was in the room with me.
A guy. A guy I didn’t know.
It put me on edge, which must have reflected on my face because he instantly held his hands up, as if to show he wasn’t a danger... That didn’t mean anything to me right now…
‘Hi, I’m Toby’.
‘Hi..’ I heard the wariness in my own voice.
‘Don’t worry, I’m not going to hurt you or anything, I just wanted to make sure that you’re ok’.
‘Why? I don’t know you’. The comment came across ruder than intended.
‘Valid point. I um…’ He scratched the back of his head, as if he was uncomfortable, ‘I’m the one who called the ambulance for you. I found you..’ He trailed off again.
‘Oh’. I was honestly lost for words, but my manners kicked in pretty quickly after, ‘Thank you. Thank you so much… god knows what would have happened if..’ and then I remembered, ‘The dogs! There was a large group of dogs, they attacked Jason, I thought they were going to attack me too!’.
‘No, no, no, Those were mine. We saw what was happening and they raced over to protect you. They would have never hurt you’.
‘Your dogs? How many dogs do you have?!’ He smiled.
‘Quite a few. I couldn’t help but smile back.
‘Thank you’. I repeated.
‘You have nothing to thank me for’. We just stayed in silence for a few minutes, but it wasn’t awkward or uncomfortable. The door opened and my parents came back in again. Mum came rushing over to me, while dad said something to the guy, Toby, I think, and they shook hands.
‘What did the doctor say?’ I asked, curious.
‘Now you’re awake, they want to observe you for a few hours but you should be able to leave today’.
‘How long have I been here?’
‘Just since last night’. I found myself watching my dad and Toby, deep in conversation, that is until I heard mum say something about checking out.
‘Wait, what? Checking out? I don’t want to go home’. We still had over 2 weeks of our holiday left, I didn’t want to go home yet!
‘Your father and I just think it's best if you recover in the comfort of home’. I shook my head.
‘No, I want to stay!’. I really did. This was our holiday for christ sake! Something I had been looking forward to for nearly a year, since they told me we were coming here. ‘Where’s Jason, what happened to him?!’ I looked back over at the two men talking, and they were looking back at me.
‘Well..’ It was Toby who spoke, ‘After my dogs stopped him..’He paused, ‘He ran off. He was pretty much worse for wear, so, I very much doubt he will be showing his face around here again anytime soon’. Well, that made me feel a little bit better.
‘I thought he was staying at our hotel?’
‘No, He’s not registered on the guest list of the hotel, and the police said the CCTV shows him coming into the hotel to meet you. He definitely wasn’t staying there’. God, was anything he said true? Probably not. He clearly had all of these intentions when he met me on the boat.
The thought gave me chills.
What a monster!
‘Listen, sweetheart, the police want to talk to you, When you feel up to it, ok?’ I just nodded. Mum smiled sadly and got. ‘We’ll leave you to rest for now’.
‘Ok’. I laid back down and pulled the covers up. I hope I get to go back to the hotel tonight. I hate hospitals, I don’t want to be here…
Trigger warning: Discussion of sexual assault in this chapter.Chapter Four**A few Days Later**As I hoped, I was allowed to leave the hospital that day, and had managed to so far convinced my parents not to bail on the holiday, but the past few days had been spent locked up in the hotel room, my parents too scared to let me leave it without them. I felt like a prisoner, although if I was being completely honest with myself... I didn’t really feel much like going out anyway… just in case he was still around.I was currently sitting in an interview room at the local police department. They had given me a few days but now had requested I come in and give a statement. Wh
Chapter FiveViolet’s Point of ViewMum took me back to the hotel and then went out to have lunch with dad. I wasn’t really feeling it and after a bit of convincing, she agreed to leave me alone for a bit. Again, I knew it was coming from a place of love and care, but they were constantly watching me all the time, I just can’t be doing with it.I just needed some alone time!As soon as she was gone though, I went over and locked the door. I don’t know why I did, but it made me feel a bit better. Looking around the large room, I let out a loud sigh, I had no idea what to do. I couldn’t go out, but there was nothing but watching TV to pass time in here.I wandered over to the wind
Chapter SixWalking into the bar, The sounds of happy chatting greeted me. I looked around, taking in the room. It was dimly lit but seemed like a really upbeat place in general. I could instantly feel myself relax. There was no threat here. As I followed Toby deeper into the establishment, towards the actual bar, I noticed how many people turned to smile or greet him as we passed.Maybe he was a regular here?Either way, he seemed to be really well-liked.I just kept quiet and eventually, we ended up near the bar, at a large table, full of guys. Toby turned to me and smiled before gesturing to each of the men, Listing all of their names, which was returned with a smile.Though, admittedly, I lost trac
Chapter Seven As I walked back across the sand, I suddenly felt uneasy. I looked around but didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. I attempted to shrug it off, but couldn't. I looked around again, this time in a bit more panic than before. I could feel eyes on me but couldn’t work out where it was coming from. Was it Jason?! Was he watching me? Something wasn’t right! My breathing deepened and I started to struggle a little. I looked around for somewhere a little bit more private until I could calm down. Running off the beach, I tried but couldn’t find anywhere. My panic started to increase. Eventually, I just didn’t care what people thought about me and dropped to my knees right in the st
Chapter Eight Toby’s Point of View Violet vanished from view as I just turned to look at my girlfriend. ‘You’re an adult, was that attitude really necessary?’ Georgie shrugged. I rolled my eyes. She always acts that way whenever I’m talking to someone, even if it's just innocent. She’s so jealous, no matter what I say or do to try and comfort her worries. ‘I just want to make sure she knew you weren’t available or interested’. ‘Georgie, she knows I’m not’. ‘Really?’ I sighed, annoyed. ‘Yes, really’. Huffing, she took my hand and started pulling me towards the exit, moaning about how she

Chapter NineViolet’s Point of ViewWalking into the suite, my parents were instantly firing questions at me; Where was I? Who was I with? Why did I leave the room? The usual. I asked them if they had even seen the note I’d left, they said they did, but they were still worried about me. I guess I couldn’t exactly blame them with everything that had happened recently, but still! I wasn’t a prisoner here. This was still my holiday too.I calmly explained that I had gone out for a walk, I needed to clear my head and that behind the room was driving me insane. I told them that I had met Toby in the hotel and we had gone for a drink, that I had met some of his friends and in general, had a very nice day……I left ou
Chapter TenToby’s Point of View*LATER THAT EVENING*Over the past few hours, I haven't been able to think about anything other than Violet and how upset she got. It's completely understandable, the girls are being really unfair. She wasn’t a threat to them, the pack or my relationship, so why are Georgie and the other girls giving her such a hard time?The moon was full, the pack was assembled and I walked into the garden to address them. As I approached them, lined perfectly across the gross, I shifted and stopped right in front of Georgie. Growling. She knew she was in trouble.Being in the same pack meant when we were in wolf form, we were able to communicate w
