Hybrid

22 - Captive

~*Whisper POV*~

I wake up on a cold cement floor. I realize that I’m in my wolf form. I look around and find three bare walls and a wall made of iron bars. I’m in a jail cell. I try to stand but I can’t feel my legs. I look down at them. They are fine but I notice a bandage around my belly. I look at it. My entire back is wrapped up and pick from blood soaking into it.

I suddenly feel something round my neck. I try to stretch and a chain rattles. Great. I’m in my wolf, caged and chained up and with no idea where I am.

A grumble rings through my head before I hear a familiar voice, ‘Whisper? Can you hear me?’

I sigh in relief. ‘Thank god Blood-Fang. I just woke up and I can’t remember anything. What happened?’

Blood-Fang sighs and explains. I am filled with fear as I start to remember. ‘What do you think he wants from us Blood-Fang? And do you think James is ok?’

She doesn’t answer for a bit. ‘I don’t know Hun. Didn’t he say it had to do with you being able to have kids? Does that mean he wants to try to create a hybrid using us?’

I cursed then tried to stand again. I succeed even with my legs feeling numb. I walk over to the bars and look out. Its darks but I can make out a door at one end of the hall way and just a wall at the other.

I try to look further but the chain around my throat restricts me. It gave me an idea. I tried to force myself to shift but the ability wouldn’t come. I asked for Blood-Fang’s help.

But she refused. ‘He has drugged us. I have tried making us shift but it wouldn’t work. I’m weak and been holding the thirst back as I try to wake you. It’s wearing me out greatly.’

I sighed and laid back down. ‘I’ll howl to get some attention. Let the thirst free to me so you can rest a little until we can quench it.’

I felt the burn start to flow up my throat. In seconds my entire neck, inside and out, was on fire. Feeling the urgency of it, I let out a howl of pain.

There was a loud clatter from up above then yelling. A few moments later, a man appeared in front of my cell. He was scrawny and bruised up as if beaten. His hair was a black mess and he had a dirt colored beard. “Master’s pet is awake. Do you need anything, Pet?”

I nodded quickly and opened my mouth and turned my head so he could see my fangs. I then tried to mind link but I couldn’t. He wasn’t a werewolf.

“Yes, Master said that Pet needed food and Blood. Master said to watch and take care of Pet.”

I watched the man disappear back down the hall and seconds later he opened a door in the bars and put a large bowl of blood and a platter full of raw meat in front of me. He shut the door and locked it quickly. “Master said that Pet had to howl if Pet needed anything. Pet can’t leave though.”

I watched the man disappear again before I lowered my head and drank. I even licked the bowl afterwards as an extra measure for the thirst. I then ate the meat.

Once full and feeling much better, I was able to think more clearly. ‘The Master must be Shay. I think that guy was strange too. Has to be a failed hybrid or a human.’

‘No, he’s a vampire. But he is very dumb and only obeys Shay. I’ve been able to listen through your ears while you slept. Try to see if you can break these chains. They are silver but were immune to that.’

I took her advice and started to pull on the chain. It didn’t do anything. ‘Strange. It’s not thick either. We must’ve been right about a weakness then. Dammit!’
