Madness Decends Prologue
“I’m going to slice you open, rip out your guts, and put 'em in a bowl if you don’t release me now!” Briar KingBear yelled at her captors, rattling her chains. “All that fire, and you still deny me what you know is mine? I can help you with that, Love.” Artemis gave her a lustful glance. “Don’t even think about it. If you kill your brother, how will you enjoy yourself?” She growled at him. “We keep you because you entertain us. You have been chained to that pole due to your own foolishness. Now you won’t be able to escape your duty or your fate.” Artemis, the wonderful son of the Alpha who kidnapped her. “What will you do when Rei hears I’m here, and you have gone against his wishes? He is the next Alpha to leads us, not you!” Briar screamed. “He will be too late to save you from my mark.” Artemis leveled his gaze on her, slowly walking in her direction. “What are you doing? If you do this, Rei will die! Your brother will be dead!” Briar yelled through her tears. “Everyone dies
Madness Decends 1. Chivalry Is NOT Dead
December 2nd…4:29 am... Bri woke up with a start. Afraid she was still trapped in her dream, she reached over to the nightstand and clicked on the lamp, flooding her room with warm, welcoming light. Exhaling, grateful that it was only the reoccurring nightmare that hadn't plagued her for months now. Why was she having this memory now? The dream started about 1 year ago when she went hiking with her best friend, Rina Skye and a few others from her old school in Seattle. It’s always the same wolves and her by a cave deep in the woods on her parent’s 40 acre lot. She always ran the same way, from her log cabin to a cave, but she never got to finish the dream. Did she die? Did her wolf protector die and the white wolf take her captive? She had been dreaming about these two wolves, one, a huge snow white wolf attacks her while the other, a black wolf slightly smaller than the other protected her. Dismissing her dream, the thought of going back to sleep had crossed her mind, but was quic
Madness Decends 2. Hidden Wolf
Suddenly lost in twin jade oceans, Briar was rendered speechless, snapping her mouth shut at once. Across, the hall, a shorter, dark haired girl, with silver eyes saw Briar’s reaction, and understood what was happening here and text Alyssa. Text Message From: K. To: Alyssa Smythe: ‘Get to Rei’s locker!! New girl has “Eyes” for him. She might be the One!’ She shoved her phone back in her bag and prepared to watch the show! “I am so sorry. I didn’t see you fast enough to pull the door, are you ok?” Asked a tall, dark haired guy straight out of a steamy, emo or goth romance novel. “Sorry, I, ah, don’t, I mean…” Briar huffed, frustrated at how flustered she had become by him. Boys always made her nervous, but her anxiety rest different this time. He reached down, grabbed her by the arm, helping her to her feet. “Thank you. I shouldn’t be allowed to walk and text, or do any multitasking really. I’m Briar KingBear. Its my first day, and I’m considering going home.” She looked at the
Madness Decends 3. Deception
Briar opened her eyes, looking around the hospital like room she was in, not reme1mbering what happened or how she got here. “There you are! You had a panick attack. How long have you been them?” the nurse asked. “Ever since my mom and dad started fighting I guess.” Briar replied. “Im sorry, that seems to be effecting the younger generations too much." the nurse asked. “I remember just needing to get out of here and once I was outside I sat on the steps. Nothing after that though, sorry.” Bri looked at her hands. “Don’t apologize. Your two friends were pretty worried about you, you owe them a thank you. You can leave when you feel up to it. I know it’s your first day, so take your time." the nurse smiled. “Thank you.” Bri mumbled and swung her legs over the side of the cot, put her shoes back on and grabbing her things, Bri walked out of the room where Rei and another guy were waiting for her. “Briar, you feeling better?” Rei smiled at her. “Shouldn’t you be barking up Alyssa’
Madness Decends 4. Free At Last!
Rei wasn’t kidding about meeting her after every class, inwardly smiling. She childishly wondered if he was looking at no one but her when he focused his stare on her, but reality smacked her in the face, once again for not minding her surroundings. Alyssa popped up seemingly from out of nowhere, right in front of Rei, smiling and whispering apologies, Briar called them “Sweet Little Lies”. They result in one of two ways, pain or heartbreak. Her mom always told her to stay away from that kind of stress. It wasn’t worth it. Ever. Briar let them have their lover’s quarrel, thankful for the distraction so she could take a moment to breathe. Quickly ducking into the bathroom, Briar thanked her lucky stars it was vacant. The bell sounded a few seconds later. “That’s better.” She said to the silence. She took a few minutes before returning to the zoo. Glancing around the hall, Briar looked at her map, and by the time she looked up again, Rei was walking down the hall towards her, no not
Madness Decends 5. Aftermath
Arriving home, Briar parked, grabbed her stuff, the food, and zoom fuel bringing all of it in the house. Making sure the food was put away and the milkshakes in the freezer for when her mom made it home. Instead of chatting with Rina, Bri decided to unplug. Feeling her eye lids getting heavier with each step, she figured she’d have just enough strength to make it to her room. She was right. Setting her stuff by her closet and flopped down on her bed, switching off the light and she was out. When Bri woke, it wasn’t in her room where she knew she fell asleep, but how did she get out here? She didn’t sleepwalk, so that wasn’t the answer. Bri was completely confused and she was scared. Sitting, she tried to figure out where she was, but her head was fuzzy and she just couldn’t pull herself together. A branch snapping caught her ear and she turned her head in the direction it came from, hoping to catch a glance of what was out there, but it was too dark. If she stayed in one spot, the
Madness Decends 6. Breaking the Ice
Rei’s eyes flew open, instantly aware that Kitsune, Briar’s hidden wolf had pushed back to let him know she was almost ready to emerge. He had roughly a month to prepare for it. This morning’s coffee date was the first step in many baby steps to ensure Briar was strong enough to handle the emergence of Kitsune and to understand what was happening to her. Among the wolves, Kitsune was the oldest, most powerful wolf in existence and had to realign herself with her newest human vessel, Briar. That’s why Rei had taken to her so quickly. Briar and Kitsune were his future. A future that was meant for his older brother, by 4 minutes. As the Blood Heir, Atremis was expected to lead as Alpha, train Briar to be strong enough to live through Kitsune’s rebirth, therefore, his mate. Now that she had taken to Rei, the only way to sway her back to Artemis, would have to be on the traumatic side to shake loose her feelings for Rei. Not an easy feat, but it was possible. Arriving at the Coffee Shake
Madness Decends 7. Sins From the Past
Briar, Have lunch with me? Meet me in the parking lot by your truck. -A Who the hell is A? She didn’t know anyone here with the initial A…wait! Could it be Artemis? This was insane. Deciding it was probably a set up to get her and Alyssa to duke it out, she sighed and shut her locker. What no one here knew about Bri was, she could fight. Her father wanted her to be able to take care of herself if a guy tried anything with her. Glad she brought her sunglasses, pulling them down, it was snowing and sunny, as soon as she walked out the doors, she was reminded her she wasn’t in Seattle anymore. “Hey, Bri!” a tall, red haired girl with flawless makeup and a trendy outfit on ran up to her. “Who might you be?” Bri asked. “I’m Yuri Marx. I’m in your music theory class. I know you’re from the Seattle Symphony, and that is my dream to play on that stage. Would you have time to, I don’t know, tutor me, or even a few tricks you might have?” Yuri blushed. Briar was stunned. “I can do that.
