The officer dragged Ella into the police station," looks like I just solved the missing person's case,boys!"
Cheers erupted all around her but the captain didn't look too pleased." Officer Duke, do you know who this is?""Yeah, boss. It's Summer Ray. The girl that went missing a week ago. You should be happy. Your daughter is of the hook for kidnapping and possible murder."" You idiot. Do you not read the paper. It is Miss Ella Woods. The investor of the new upmarket hotel and mall on the southside of town." The captain barked."Sir. That's what I initially thought but your daughter insisted I bring her in." Officer Duke replied." You are listening to my eighteen year old daughter who barely has the knowledge of frying an egg." Captain Wilds lifted an eyebrow.Officer Duke shoved Ella into a cell and slammed it shut. He pulled Mr Wilds aside and began a conversation of persuasion.Ella's Luna senses heightened as she concentrated on hearing."Just think about it. She will be framed as Summer Ray, the missing persons case is solved. Brook is of the hook and the city can seize the property. Our little town will be rich, you might even get a pay raise." Officer Duke proposed." I don't know. It's risky. She can call in the best lawyer. We will be in big trouble if we get caught." Captain Wilds scratched his head. He found it tempting, counting his riches in his mind." It's now or never . Your call." Officer Duke smiled."Fine. IL overlook it. Do what you must, just cover your tracks. I don't want this coming back to bite us in the ass." Captain Wilds said as he walked away." This conversation never happened."" Oh. Yes but it did." Ella thought.She was scared to be caught but now that she knew their plan, it annoyed her."Don't I get a call?" Ella asked an officer passing by.He ignored her."So darling, what are you here for?" A voice asked from behind her.Ella turned around to face a woman that was largely built like a man. Her tattooed arms had muscles like a wrestler. Ella thought she looked like a biker, with those high cut jeans, a check shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a denim waist coat. Her voice was as if she had eaten a grater, hoarse and scratchy to the ear. Ella stood silent." I am here for smacking the crap out of officer Rook." She reached forward and grabbed Ella's wrist, picking up her arm. " I doubt you did that. You are way too skinny. Probably can't even kill a fly."Ella wriggled her arm from the large ladies grip and backed up against the bars. She had watched enough movies with investigations and sentencing and she knew she needed to mind her own business." Hey guys, guess we have a miss goody two shoes here." The lady said sarcastically to the two other dirty woman sitting in a corner.They laughed, showing off their yellow teeth. By the looks of it, they were here for the week. They smelled worse than rotten garbage and vomit.Ella scooted to the edge of the seat and stared out through the bars," Officer. I need to make a call.""Do you think you are in a hotel? Make a call? " Officer Duke asked sarcastically." You don't get a call until I say so."Ella was disgusted at his words and it fueled her.She was going to turn into her Luna and growl her way out of the cell but she couldn't blow her cover. She could sense he was a beta and would submit to her but she also needed to act like Miss Ella Woods. She gritted her teeth and folded her leg over the other." It can't be too bad. I'm in a jail cell with a dirty biker and two prostitutes. On the other side of the cell are a bunch of moron cops." Ella thought.She wondered if she would make it through the night. The smell was starting to make her stomach churn and the biker lady was now in her face." Miss goody two shoes, how about you give me that pretty necklace?" The biker lady reached for the necklace.Ella looked at the sleeping policeman."No." Ella growled.The biker lady grabbed onto the necklace around Ella's neck and this made her angry.Ella morphed into her Luna and towered over the biker lady. Her drool dripping down as she growled, bearing her sharp front teeth.The biker lady cowered in fear and Ella changed back to her human self." I thought as much. Do you still want to frisk me for my belongings or are you going to leave me the f*** alone?"" I am so sorry." The biker lady retreated into the corner.Ella did not know how she fell asleep but she rose when the rays of yellow sunlight poured down onto her face through the tiny window.She looked around at the woman huddled in the corner.A new set of officer's arrived in the morning and looked at her with pity on the faces." Don't I get a call?" Ella cried out." Didn't they give you a call yesterday?" A female officer responded."No. They locked me in here with these people like a criminal." Ella replied, shifting her eyes to the other three ladies."You are a criminal if you are behind those bars ." The officer responded."I am innocent." Ella pleaded." Please can I make a call.""Says here in your docket that you have already made a call." The officer answered." No. I did not. Look again." Ella replied desperately. She knew she had made no such call." Says here, you called a Mrs Ray." Officer Simon's replied, taking the file from his partner.Ella looked around. "You have camera's. Go back and check. Why would I call someone I don't know .""Why would we believe a prisoner?" Officer Simon's replied, closing the file and slamming it on the desk.Ella sat down on the bench and stared at the two officers. She couldn't believe that they were treating her as a criminal.A woman barged through the doors and immediately Ella recognised her mother. "Where is she?" Mrs Ray said frantically."Sorry miss. But who are you looking for?" Officer Simon's asked leading her to a chair."My daughter. Summer Ray." She replied.Her eyes met Ella's and she immediately rushed to the jail cell."My poor baby."Ella held a confused expression. Her heart hurt and she knew this would hurt her mother but she did it anyway." Mrs Ray?" Ella asked."Mrs Ray? What's wrong with you Summer? Do you have amnesia?" " I have heard so much about you from my dad. You look the same as you did ten years ago. I saw a picture." Ella replied innocently.Mrs Ray took a closer look at Ella. " Who are you?"" I am Ella Woods. Mr Ray's adopted daughter." Ella replied. She knew the words cut through her mother's heart but this was her identity now. " Patrick's daughter
"Are you an imposter?" Officer Simon's shouted loudly.His voice rang in Ella's ears.Her eyes grew dark and nostrils flared for a few seconds before she replied calmly," no,sir."He wasn't worth getting angry over." Are we done here?" Ella asked politely." Wow. You are really in a hurry to get back to your beautiful jail cell. The smell of roses on a dewy evening and the pink coloured wallpaper, with pink flamingos seems really attractive." Officer Simon's grinned.Ella rolled her eyes at his sarcasm. He was really starting to annoy her."Are you two ready for the results." Mr Luke interrupted."Of course. Finally I can prove that she is an imposter and get my promotion." Officer Simon's brushed his auburn hair from his forehead.If he wasn't such a douche bag Ella would have found him attractive. He was well built with grey eyes and Sparling white teeth. He could easily get a job as a model or actor, but here he was, causing unnecessary trouble for her.At first Ella thought it w
"Do I know Summer Ray?" Ella questioned."Girl. Can you not be so frustrating. You are repeating everything I say like a parrot. If you want to ask the question, ask it in your brain and then supply me with the answer." Officer Simon's pulled his hair. " Stop beating around the bush. Answer the questions."" Is she the girl that you think I am? Only because I look like her?" Ella asked dumbly."Answer the question!" Officer Simon's screamed out so loud that the female officer opened the door and peeped in." Is everything alright in here?" She asked politely."Just get out. Everything is fine." Officer Simon's replied rudely.The officer closed the door quickly. Ella could here her footsteps scurrying away." Someone's got a temper." Ella joked. She was enjoying watching him crack." Miss Woods or Miss Ray. Which ever one you believe to be , answer the questions!" Officer Simon's cursed under his breath." I only heard about her on the news. I didn't know her personally. Do you think
" I'm here to represent Mrs Woods!"The words were precise and silence fell upon the room. Officer Simon's stood frozen. He did not expect an attorney to be present in the police station for this lying imposter. He had made sure that she had no access to her cellphone and she wasn't allowed to make her one call.Officer Simon's gained his composure," Go straight through to the boardroom Mrs ? Sorry I didn't get your name." "Mrs Smith." She replied sharply." Alright, Mrs Smith, I will just be putting the prisoner back in her cell. I will be with you in a minute." He stuck the key in the keyhole."I don't think so, officer Simon's. Ella Woods is my client and I would prefer her in the board room with me. She is not a prisoner." Mrs Smith eyes squinted as she stared holes into him."She is guilty." Officer Simon's turned the key." Innocent until proven guilty. I would like to see your proof." Mrs Smith shut the gate firmly. The swift movement made officer Simon's jump.He had taken he
I snuck into the house, like a thief, making sure not to awaken my mother. She did not know that I had snuck out just hours ago. I looked at the silver clock above the arch , it was already 5am.Jumping straight into the shower I scrubbed myself until the skin broke and droplets of blood oozed out. The pain from the bruising could not compare to the pain o felt inside.I dressed in my pajamas and headed straight for bed. Drawing the blinds shut, I drifted into a dreamless sleep.3months later.I spent three months of my life crying. Who would want a pregnant ,tainted woman like myself. I was spiralling down into a deep dark place. If it was not for the baby I carried in my womb, I would have ended my life.It broke my mother's heart when I finally found the courage within me to tell her the truth.I never went back to the mansion after that day. My mother,being a single parent was like a superhero but I felt the depth of her wound. She blamed herself for my misfortune." I have made
I closed my eyes and tried to sleep but aunt Tess's words were still swimming in my head. This is a game changer for Seth. I am a Luna. He thought he could break my heart and get away with it but he can't . I won't let him. He will regret the day he had left me. Vengeance crept into my heart. I did not know how I was going to make him pay, but I was going to." Breakfast is ready," I heard aunt Tess's jovial voice from the dining hall.I was barely even dressed, I hurried as fast as I could almost tripping over my own feet."You should be careful. I don't want you getting hurt now.""Sorry aunt Tess." I said as I sat at the table .Taking a slice of toast I coated it with strawberry jam. Today was the first day that I actually felt hungry. I was starving. After three months of morning sickness I was now feeling like myself.We arrived at the coffee shop and it wasn't as little as aunt Tess has said, it was the total opposite.She gave me the grand tour and showed me how to work the ma
"Wow, look at your face." Tyler clapped and laughed loudly." Can't I make a joke. Is it only you who can be humourous?"I didn't know why I was surprised. I shouldn't have cared if he was angry , but somehow I did." So, you aren't upset that I am pregnant?""Of course not Ella. I had known the very first day I met you."I wondered how, I knew only a male wolf would smell my pregnant scent but he was a man." But how?""Your aunt Tess." Tyler smiled.Silly me, how could I possibly think this kind man was a wolf. He was too plain and simple. He smelled of fresh lavender and sunshine. Every possible way a human male smelt and behaved." To be honest, Ella, I really like you. You make the most putrid tasting coffee but I will still drink it."I burst into laughter," my coffee is horrible but you still want to drink it? Why would you possibly want to torture yourself."" Yes. As long as I get to see your pretty face. Anything made by your hand is special."" Tyler, I hate to be a buzz ki
Tyler walked in to the coffee shop ordering his usual. One putrid coffee made by me. This time I tried to add more cream and less coffee.I poured a little in a cup and kept it aside. He took a small sip, tasting it slowly." Wow this is delicious." The cream lined the top of his lips and I took a napkin and dabbed it off.He smiled at me and I went back to the counter taking the cup I set aside. Since he said it was delicious I decided to take a big sip, emptying the contents of the cup into my mouth.As soon as it touched my tongue, I cringed. My nose wrinkled up and I wanted to puke. It was awful. It has no taste of coffee at all, just a coffee smell with milky taste.I spat it back in the cup and rinsed my mouth. It doesn't take rocket science to make coffee but why was I so bad at it." You really think my coffee was divine?" I questioned Tyler."My taste buds think that anything prepared by your lovely hands is divine." Tyler teased." Why do you even bother to torture yourself?
