Hidden Within

Chapter One

:Wulfric inner mind:
"Wulfric spoken word"
Wulfric+      Athena~

+I watched as my own claws tore through skin and bone. My own body out of my control. I was always pitted against these lesser Lycans and always won. My wolf side kept his hold on my physical form ending the grey Lycan's life. I didn't know him, it was easier that way.

:Pitiful excuse for a Lycan.:

Wolf growled in my mind. We could converse if we so wished. He refused to speak out loud but inside he was loud and angry. Stepping back he raised our eyes to the men in white coats above the pit. They were speaking with each other, writing things down on pads.

:We could kill them too...:

:One day we will.:

I promised the wolf. Even I had had enough of this endless torture.

"Alright! Send him back!"

One of the men called. I was hit with three darts and soon slumped to the ground knocked out. At least we could sleep for a while now.

><

~Athena awoke to her alarm clock buzzing loudly beside her. Pushed her long tawny hair from her eyes she squinted over at the clock. 8am.

"You up Sky?"

She heard her room rapping on her door. Pushing herself out of bed she threw a robe on and opened her door.

"Yeah, I'll be ready in a bit."

"Alright."

Her roommate was an old pack mate named Saria. She was young and lean like Athena. In their prime as Lycans. Saria crossed her arms across her green shirt and asked.

"Nightmares?"

"Yeah...it's weird."

Athena rubbed the back of her head smiling.

"Like they aren't my nightmares. It'll pass, always does."

Saria nodded and smiled at her. Trying to help.

"True. Alright well me and Z will wait in the car for you."

Athena nodded and went to get dressed.
The last few nights she's had horrid dreams. Blood soaked and saddening. Shaking it off she dressed and left for work.

><

+I awoke to a loud snarl from Wolf. The sleeping meds must have worn off. Standing shakily to my feet I towered at seven feet tall in my full form. Unable to shift anymore we stayed like this forever now. A Beast.

:Morning buddy.:

:Shut up.:

Wolf growled in return. He looked around and I noticed the cage door left slightly ajar. Before I could even begin to think of a plan my body took off running out the cage.

:It's probably a trap. No one does this on purpose. We've been here too long for that. We are going to get shot.:

I thought plainly to my wolf self as he tore down hallways and broke through doors.

:Or burned alive.:

:We feel no pain. I welcome them to try.:

Another growl. I just watched as Wolf dove and jumped through the halls. Where was everyone?
Rounding a corner we found them. Showing the higher ups around the building. Everything stopped when I came into view. No longer behind bars I watched as one man's pants grew wet from urine.
