"Luna," Doc said brightly, smiling as Indianna knocked on the infirmary door later that evening. "I assume you are here to see the girl?"
Indianna nodded and entered the infirmary. Her eyes landed on a petite figure laying on a bed, hugging her bed sheets to her chest. "How is she?" Indianna asked softly, noticing the girls fear filled eyes.
"Healing well, but she's terrified," Doc sighed. "I shall leave you two alone. Call me if you need anything."
"Thank you," Indianna nodded and Doc exited the room. "Hello," she said to the girl and walked over to the bed. "I'm not going to hurt you, I just want to talk," Indianna said and pulled a chair up to the bed and sat down. "I'm Indianna and I just want to help you. What's your name?"
The girl looked cautiously at Indianna and blew her long red hair out of her face. "E-Ellie."
"Ellie, do you remember what happened to you?"
"I was a-attacked," she whimpered and cringed when she looked at her wrist.
"Ellie," Indianna said and lifted up her sleeve to show Ellie her scar, "the same person that attacked you attacked me. We're going to get him. He won't get away."
Ellie gasped and sat up in the bed, trying to get a better look at Indianna's wrist. She winced as she did, but it didn't seem to hurt her that much. "The same place?"
"Yes," Indianna murmured. "I have a scar on my stomach also."
"W-why?"
"Because he is an evil person. But, Ellie, you don't need to worry about him."
"W-what if he comes back?" Ellie asked hurriedly, her eyes widening in fear. "He might-
"You're safe here," Indianna said surely. "You are in pack territory, he won't be able to get to you."
"No one will? No one will be able to get me?"
"That's right," Indianna nodded. "Wait... Ellie, who else don't you want getting you?"
Ellie gulped and paled. "I-I... Um..."
"You can tell me," Indianna said softly.
"Um... M-my c-c-captor," Ellie whimpered and Indianna gasped.
"Captor?"
"I r-ran away from my pack," Ellie explained. "I was 11 and they blamed me for my parents death even though they were killed by rogues. My pack... T-they used to beat me and..." Ellie took and shaky breath and looked at Indianna with tear filled eyes. "I was their slave. I couldn't take it any longer so I ran away, but I was k-kidnapped. He used to beat me, just like my old pack. He also used to s-sexually ab-abuse me."
"Oh my," Indianna gasped. "How did you get away?"
"One day he forget to chain me up properly so I ran. He had kept me prisoner for 2 years so I guess he slipped up and I got away. He was chasing after me in the woods when I was attacked."
"You're only 13? You're so young and so many terrible things have happened to you," Indianna gasped. "Ellie, I promise I will let nothing bad happen to you. You are safe here and you will never be treated badly again in your life. I promise."
"S-so I can stay h-here?" Ellie asked, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
"Of course."
"But don't you need the Alpha's permission."
*You've got it,* Greyson said. *Give the girl whatever she wants, she's more than welcome to stay.*
"Greyson is fine with you staying here," Indianna smiled. "Even if he wasn't I wouldn't dare let you leave alone. You are welcome to stay here for however long you want."
Ellie looked at Indianna and a tear slipped down her cheek. "T-thank you."
Indianna looked at her reflection in the mirror and ran her fingers through her long dark hair. She was wearing a pair of ripped skinny jeans and a grey crop top with her Timberland's. It was now Saturday evening and she was getting ready with Brooke to go to the carnival.
Brooke seemed absolutely fine on the outside, but Indianna could tell that deep down she was still struggling with what happened. Greyson had pack members searching the town every hour of every day, but there was no sign of the guy who raped Brooke or Rogue.
It was like they had disappeared. They left no trace, no scent and no trail.
It was infuriating.
"You look hot," Brooke smiled and tied her long blonde hair up into a high pony tail. She pulled on a pair of flats and straightened out her denim jacket. "Greyson is going to love it."
"Back at you," Indianna chuckled and grabbed her phone. "Ready?"
"Ready," Brooke nodded and linked her arm through Indianna's. Indianna did notice how Brooke held onto her arm rather tightly, as if she was afraid she'd lose her and be all alone.
Indianna didn't say anything and they made their way out of Indianna's room and down the stairs of the pack house.
The younger pack members that went to school were rushing about trying to get ready for the carnival, but they all smiled and nodded to Indianna and Brooke when they passed. Greyson, Harry and the others were waiting in the kitchen for the girls. Indianna couldn't help but check Greyson out when she saw him.
It amazed her how he could look so good in just a pair of jeans and a black tshirt.
*Thanks,* Greyson chuckled and Indianna looked at Greyson who smirked.
"Jheeze, finally!" Kal exclaimed. "Why do girls take so freaking to get ready?"
"We don't take that long, boys simply get ready too quickly," Brooke shrugged and let go of Indianna and went to Harry, gripping his hand tightly.
"You ready?" Greyson asked Indianna, slipping his hand round her waist and pulling her into his chest. She snuggled further into him, loving the sparks she felt at his touch and nodded.
"Let's go," Indianna said and the group made their way out of the pack house and they all got into a large 7 seater. Greyson drove and Indianna was in the passenger seat with everyone else behind.
The drive to school was short and Indianna gasped when it came into sight. Bright lights covered the usually dull building and she could hear music pounding in the distance. It was dark outside so the colourful lights nearly blinded Indianna because of their brightness. They walked round to the back fields and Indianna grinned when she saw it was covered in rides, roller coasters , sweet stalls and game stalls and well... Fun.
There were people everywhere all grinning, laughing and having a blast.
Greyson looked down at Indianna and sensed her excitement. "You're such a child," he chuckled and shook his head.
"Shut up, I've never been to a carnival before!" Indianna defended herself and grabbed his hand. "Can we explore?"
Greyson rolled his eyes, but smiled and nodded. "Course." He turned to the others. "We'll meet up later?"
"Sure," Kal nodded and Brooke and Harry walked off by themselves, leaving everyone in pairs.
