Chapter 61
The Broken Warrior’s Daughter
Chapter 0061
Eli covers my head with a hood, so I canât see where we are going. Itâs enough for me to breathe and also to see bits of light here and there, but nothing specific. We walk for most of the night before we get to a group of cars. âWhere are you taking me?â Itâs not the first time Iâve asked, and Iâm met with the same silence I received every other time. Eli hasnât said a word to me since we left.
We get to a large SUV, he takes the hood off, opens a bottle of water and offers it to me. Since it wasnât open before he offered it, I open my mouth and let him pour it in. I can go a long time without water but if heâs offering, Iâll take what I can get when I can get it.
When Iâm done, he puts silver shackles on my ankles, puts the hood back on, then shoves me into the back of the SUV, sliding the cargo cover over me. Now, no one can see me from the outside and what little I could see out of the bag over my head is covered.
I take this opportunity to mindlink my dad. âDad, can you hear me?â
âCARA! Cara, are you alright, where are you?â
âDad. Iâm okay. Weâve been walking all night. I think we continued west, but Iâm not totally sure. My head has been covered.â
âWe have trackers out searching for you right now. They picked up the trail. where we found Rik.â
âIs he okay?â
âYes. He has come back around. The wolfsbane is still in his system, but he ist recovering slowly. Honey, where are you?â
âI donât really know. There were some cars parked in a clearing. That is where I am now. Iâm in the back of a black or dark colored SUV, it has four doors and a hatchback. I didnât see a road and I canât see anything now because they put at cargo cover over me.â
âDo you know what they want? Rik said itâs Eli Gunner?â
âYes, itâs Eli. He told us he is an Alpha now, but when I said he didnât smell like one,
he said he had a plan. Iâm not sure what that means and he hasnât said anything else about it.â
âWeâre coming for you honey. Stay strong, do whatever you have to do to survive. Youâre a fighter, youâre a Guardian and youâre my daughter!â

âYouâve trained me well dad. Iâll be putting all that training to good use now. Weâve started moving. I donât know how much longer Iâll be able to contact you, but I will when I can. I love you dad.â
âI love you sweetheart. Stay strong!â
The mindlink cut out. I wanted to stay awake and try to figure out where we were going, but the long night and the sound of tires on the road lulled me to sleep.
I donât know how long I slept, but when I woke, I could hear voices up front talking about where to stop. âHey, I need to pee.â
It was quiet for a minute. Then an unfamiliar voice said, âYouâll have to hold it.â
âFor how long? Itâs been hours and I can only hold it for so long.â I replied, hoping we would stop and maybe I could see something to figure out where I was. It was quiet again, then that same voice replied, âWeâll stop in the next 30 minutes. Hold it for now.
Iâm guessing heâs mindlinking Eli, which means heâs not in this car. Iâm not sure if thatâs a good thing or a bad thing. After a while, I feel the car slow down and turn right. We immediately begin bouncing around like weâre on an unpaved road, or possibly just driving into a forest somewhere. The jolts are making my already aching shoulders hurt even more, but I stay quiet.
We finally stop and the back hatch opens. The cargo cover is removed and I can see light, but not much more. âGet outâ.
