The Past

Chapter 38

As those eight words escaped through Samantha's lips, everyone including Jacob and Daniella were speechless. Jacob knew what she was because she told him. He just never knew the story behind it. As for Daniella, the stories that her father had told her were not even close to what Samantha had told them.

"Intense," Embry breathed out.

Samantha let out a laugh,"Yeah I know."

"What does all that make you then?" Samuel asks his sister who was having a conversation with her inner wolf, Sia.

"It makes me a hybrid."

"How is that possible? I thought they were extinct," He said trying to think of ways a hybrid could be reborn.

"That's what Jeremiah said. I'm assuming I got it because I was bitten. Remember what I told you, it could be possible for a werewolf to heal from a vampires bite but it probably had to come with a price. I looked into some myths or legends that in some of them, states that in some cases it's possible for both werewolf and vampire venoms to bond together in some type of way," Samantha got up from the couch and made her way towards the kitchen to get herself a glass of cold ice water.

"Mind telling me what hybrids are capable from what you've experienced so far? From what I've read, hybrids are terrifying," her brother said causing a chuckle to escape from Samantha.

"Well I could tell you one thing is that we're not as terrifying as we seem like in the stories. I'm pretty sure you know that we have the ability to heal, strength, fast reflexes, incredible hearing and also our running is amazing. We also have powers which is what I received from Athena," Samantha took a sip from her glass of cold water.

"And your powers are-?" Sam said waiting for her to continue on.

"I have the ability to read people's minds which I'm still trying to tame because having a bunch of voices in your head is no fun. Also I can make people feel pain or try to control someone's body telepathically." She added on,"Although I'm still having trouble with those two. It's a lot complicated than it looks."

"Have you ever controlled someone's body or made them feel any pain?" Daniella asks out of the blue.

Samantha nodded her head,"I did however I ended up draining myself. For a new hybrid to gain power it's very difficult to control in the beginning. However, if they had a master or someone to teach them how to tame their gifts then they should be perfectly fine."

"Do you have control over them?" Jared questioned with a bit of fear of what her answer might be. He does not want somebody to control his body or worse, have him feel pain.

Sighing, Samantha replied,"Yes and no. My powers have to be triggered. It's mostly triggered by anger or-" she inhaled then exhaled before speaking again.

"Or pain."

As the word pain escaped her lips the whole room went silent. The sound of everyone's breathing as well as the birds chirping from outside was all the noise you could hear.

"You never really told me what was going on with you for the past eight years you've been away."

"You don't have to tell him if you're not ready," Derek told her.

Jacob had to swallow his jealousy and hatred towards Derek. It took everything in his body to not phase and rip him apart. Sensing his anger, Samantha grabbed Jacob's hand and squeezed it. "I'll be fine. He and the rest are bound to know sooner or later."

"It was at least a week I've been stuck in the cell. Some guys would come and check up on me from time to time but that was it. They didn't give me no water or food so I was basically starving as the days went by. After the second week came up, Jeremiah walked in and that was the first time I've seen him after what he told me about Athena and what I was. I thought he was going to release me but I was wrong. He lead me to a room where a steel chair was in the center of it. Once he got me sit down, two guys came to my side and strapped me down. Next thing I knew was that I was being electrocuted."

"You were tortured," Sam mumbled, his eyes shut while his fists were clenched by his side.

"Every single day I was brutally beaten by him and a few other men gave a few punches to me. Everyday it would be different but it would go as a pattern. I was either used as a punching bag, electrocuted, sick from starvation, hanged, used as a slicing board, burned alive, whipped, the list goes on and on."

At this point all Samantha could think was all the horrifying memories that she tried to keep in the back of her head surface everywhere in her mind. All the voices inside her head telling her to end it, to end her life, to make it the suffering to stop, every scream that wanted to escape through her lips was all held inside that head of hers. Ever heard that one saying:

" The prettiest smiles hide the deepest secrets. The prettiest eyes have cried the most and the kindest hearts have felt the most pain "

In this case, behind Samantha's smile was a secret that she held inside for so long. Her gorgeous brown eyes that would make the guys go down on their knees were the ones that shed a tear at every single heart breaking moment she lived. Her heart that was as kind, as pure as her mothers, held the most indescribable pain.

Samantha was snapped out of her thoughts when she felt the arms of Daniella's wrapped around her neck. "I'm sorry." The young vampire apologized but their was no need to. All the things that have happened to Samantha had nothing to do with her.

Wrapping her arms around Daniella's waist, she rested her head in the crook of Dani's neck loving how comfortable and relaxed she felt at Daniella's touch. "Everything is going to be okay," Daniella would mumble those six words over and over while rubbing the back of Samantha's back. Samantha couldn't help but laugh at how Daniella was smothering her.

Once they pulled away from each other, Daniella sat down on Samantha's lap in a horizontal position. Daniella nestled her head against Samantha's shoulder while Samantha rested her head on top of Daniella's. Ever since the death of Samantha's younger brother, Adrian, she never really had a sibling that was under her age. Being around Daniella brought that sister side of her. Of course she had the side with Samuel but he was older then her so it doesn't exactly go well.

As for everyone else, they all just stood and watch as the two girls began to fall asleep on the couch. Frankie looked at the time on his phone and saw that it was three in the afternoon. Time really does fly by.

"I'll put them back in bed," both Jacob and Derek said in unison. The two glared at one another for a second then began to walk towards the girls.

Jacob carried Samantha while Derek carried Daniella who surprisingly found his warmth a bit comforting. The corners of Derek's mouth curled up into a smile as Daniella snuggled closer to him but he quickly wiped the smile off his face.

After the two were put into separate rooms and beds. Derek and Jacob soon came down joining the rest of werewolves that were waiting for the two downstairs in the living. As soon as they got there Jacob was blown with numerous questions from his pack.

"Did you know?"

"Why didn't you tell us?"

"When did she tell you?"

As more questions came Jacob groaned at the headache that was beginning to grow in his head. Once they saw how they were irritating him they stopped with there questions. "I only knew what she was. If I knew more behind her story I would of told you guys and no she didn't tell me the stories obviously." All the guys ooh'ed once more all except for Samantha's pack. Seeing as how she already told them what she was and what had a happened to her while she was gone.

On the other hand, Samantha began to shift around in her bed trying to find a comfortable spot so that she could sleep in peace even though it was like three in the afternoon. Samantha could care less if it was twelve in the afternoon sleep is sleep and that's all that mattered to Samantha. Going back to her shifting around in bed, she laid on her right side, eyes still shut, she grabbed a fistful of her blanket and squeezed it tightly.

Flashback

"Have you learned your lesson?" Jeremiah asks Samantha as he sets down the knife that was coated with blood from the tip and down.

Samantha however was chained up, had deep cuts in her stomach as well as her legs and arms including her chest as well. All Samantha could speak out or in this case make a sound that sounded like a groan but was soon turned into a whine when she felt her whole body starting to worn out. Her eyes became droopy but she managed to keep them open a bit longer.

"That wasn't the answer I was looking for. I guess I have to teach you another lesson." And so it began again.

Instead of a knife, Samantha was beaten up by a whip that had shared edges at the tip of the leather material that were the tassels. Whip after whip Samantha began to feel the familiar tears coming back. As best as see could, she tried everything in her too not show Jeremiah her weak side.

But deep down insider her Samantha could feel herself slowly starting to give up.
