Modified: How It All Began (ORIGINAL)

22. Burn In Hell

There's a slow beeping as I peel my eyes open, I look up to see a bright white ceiling, I instantly think that I'm back in the room in the facility.
I gasp as I bolt upright looking around the room as the heart monitor goes crazy, I feel a pair of hands on my shoulder, I scream and lash out and fall off the bed and onto the hard floor, I scurry underneath the bed to be stopped by a tugging at my wrist, I look down to see an iv with tape strapped to my skin, I look up to see a familiar pair of legs turned away from me at a counter in the corner of the room.
I slightly yelp as the door flies open and another set of legs run in , they are stopped as the medic I remember to be Anne rushes in front of them,
"No! Wait! She got frightened I think she thought she was back at that place", she pleads with them as an unheard conversation goes through.
The guards I presume go back through the door and I hear her give off a sigh of relief, I watch as she comes over and gets on all fours to look at me, she smiles warmly at me as she offers her hand,
"Come on I don't bite", how ironic I think as a scoff makes it way out my mouth, my eyes widen a notch,
"Sorry I didn't mean-"
"Don't worry about it now just come on out", she calmly says, I sigh as I take her hand and she stands me up and gently pushes me back onto the bed,
"What happened?" I look up as she goes back to the counter, I notice she's got a fresh bandage covering her neck,
"You lost too much blood but to be honest I think you would have been fine either way", she turns back to me her arms full with bandages, guaze and ointment.

She starts at my leg and lightly lifts my shorts up so she can see the end of the bandage,
"What do you mean?" I ask as she starts to slowly peel it back,
"Well once you fainted it was like your body was using all your energy to make new blood cells to repair your wounds", she says as she takes the last bit off revealing light pink lines running up and down my leg, I lightly poke them,
"You was out only a day", my eyebrows shoot up as I peer at her through my eyelashes, she wipes my leg down with some antiseptic and pats it dry.
She goes to my shoulder and begins to peel it back,
"I've never known anything like this before", she mutters as I look down to a light pink area on my shoulder, she wipes the area down again and pats it dry, she moves to my heavily slinged wing, she starts to slowly remove all the bandages and I feel her prodding around and extending it,
"Your all healed", she says as she goes back over to the counter, I furrow my eyebrows as my injuries should have at least took a couple of days to heal, I turn my head to look at my mostly bald wing but the skin is intact, there are multiple bald patches across the top of my wing and a few secondary flight feathers missing and the bottoms of my primary ones are scuffed at the bottom.
She comes back over to remove the bandage on my tail where there are streaks of skin where the claws had been, the fur hasn't grown back yet, I huff at basically being bald.

Anne comes back over to remove my iv from my wrist as I hear walking coming towards the room, I tense up at the sound and the voice of Ethan which I growl out to, Anne looks at me and towards the door where it opens to reveal Ethan in a sharp suit, I growl again as he comes forward,
"You may go", he says which makes Anne nod,
"Yes alpha", she quietly says and hurries out the room, he looks me over and licks his lips,
"What do you want?" I demand as he snaps his eyes back up to mine, he moves forward taking my chin in his hand and bringing our faces close too close,
"You of course", he growls out as he moves my head to the side and buries his head in my neck, I snarl and push him away, he quickly finds his footing as he lands a fist on my cheek which whips my head to the right, I fall to the floor on my hands and knees as I spit out blood, I feel his hands wrap around the nape of my neck and yank me up,
"You try anything I could kill you within a second. Got it?" I nod stiffly as he pulls me towards the door, as soon as we step out as I feel a rumble, I instantly recognise it to be Caleb roaring in pain, I whimper as I'm lead away and upstairs?
I'm pushed in a bedroom where two males wait and quickly put shakles around my neck and foot, I growl out as they lock them in place,
"You and your two inch canines don't scare me", one of the males say as he finishes up around my neck with a painful tug,
"There bigger than you will ever be", I snarl out as I flick my eyes downwards at him, he visibly goes red in the face with anger then they both walk out leaving me alone.
