*2 months later*

Gwen's P.O.V.

Life here had become worse. People died more and more everyday. Not because they killed us but simply from starvation. Those who lived resembled a corpse. My body resembled theirs, except my stomach poked out, due to me being 3 months pregnant. My baby was due any day now. I looked around, all of us once had hopes that we would be rescued. Now our hopes were gone. I came to the reality that I would always be here, my child would be born here. My only hope was that she would die at birth, I didn't want her to live here.

''Get up, you lazy mutts,'' Ukron yelled. We all got up, shaking. We weren't able to support our small frames. Ukron led us to the coal room. We did the same as we always did, only this time much slower. We stayed in there for about 12 hours. After that we went to sleep, without eating.

In the morning we heard the ranging of gunshots.

*Boom* Another life ended.

*Boom* Another one

*Boom* *Boom* More lives...all ended. This went on for about 20 more minutes before it stopped.

''Everyone get the hell up!'', Ukron yelled. We all got up, our legs wobbling. Ukron guided us into the main room. All the werewolves were here. Barely any of us left. We watched as Ukron and our other captors went onto the stage.

''We would like to announce a celebration. We started out with 60,000 werewolves in this place, now we are down to 500. Starting now is a competition for life. You will notice your numbers will plummet fast. Starting now, you will get up and exercise. All of you will die, by the end of this month. We need to make room for the next batch of inmates. Enjoy your last weeks of life,'' Ukron said. Ukron and the others looked at each other. They smirked before reaching into their bags. They threw bread into the crowd and everyone scrambled to get it. A piece was thrown towards me and I catched it, but before I knew it a ton of bodies smothered me. I couldn't breath. I kept gasping for air, only to come up short. Before I knew it I passed out.

I woke up, gasping for air.

''Your up,'' I heard a voice say. I turned around. Ukron...it was Ukron.

''Your gonna have to get a lot stronger than that, if you want to survive,'' he said.

''Here's some bread, I recommend you eat it fast before the others sniff it out,'' he said. He gave me the bread and left. I put it up to my mouth, prepared to eat, but Alanis starting kicking.

''Shh I'm about to feed you baby,'' I said. The door bust open. A man ran in and stole my bread, gobbling it down fast. After he was done, his eyes widened and he fell to the ground dead. I came to the sudden realization that it was poisoned. I walked out the room and saw dead bodies everywhere, pieces of bread still in their hands. A bell rung and our captors came out.

''Get the bodies outside,'' he said. We grabbed the bodies and dragged them outside. This was the first time that I had been outside. Ironically this place looked like a Paradise, birds were chirping and the palm trees were nice and lush. The sky was baby blue and the sun beamed down. But then I noticed it and the others did too. There were probably about 120 of us left, we were all standing and our captors were looking at us, guns in their hands.....

Loki's P.O.V.

2 months had gone by since Gwen had been captured. It took a while to get to Ipernau, Lysander didn't mention that you had to cross other dimensions to get to this dimension. Thank God, Tenson was with me or I would have gone crazy.

''Do you think she's still alive?'' Tenson asked.

''I don't know, I feel her sometimes,'' I said.

''You think the baby has been born yet?'', he asked.

''Man I don't know and I don't want to think about it,'' I said. I was nervous. What if we were to late? What if she was dead? What if the baby was dead? In all honesty, we had only been on our journey for 2 days, in dimension time. One day in a dimension was like a whole earth month.

''You ready to sleep?'', I asked Tenson. It was still very light outside, but I was tired.

''Sure,'' he said. We set up camp and then we fell asleep. Right now we were in the Reñis Forest, the deadliest forest. We had been traveling through it for 5 earth days and we were still at the bottom. So far nothing crazy has happened. I only hoped that it would continue like that for the rest of the way.

Gwen's P.O.V.

This was it, this was the end. Roscha walked toward me, the gun pointed to my head. I closed my eyes, prepared for what was next. The gun clicked.

*Boom*

Loki's P.O.V.

A great pain bubbled up in my stomach. I felt like something was wrong. I ignored it and closed my eyes.

In the morning we got up and continued our way up the forest.
A sign loomed over us.

'Great Danger ahead' it said in big, bold red letters. We ignored it and continued walking. We started hearing animals in the distance.

''Roar,'' A big gorilla said as it jumped out.

''Fuck,'' I cursed. Me and Tenson started running, feeling the gorilla's footsteps behind us. Tenson's face was flushed and his eyes wide, he was loosing ground.

''C'mon man, keep up,'' I said. Tenson nodded and kept running. We soon lost the gorilla and we sat down and took a break.

''Man that was crazy,'' Tenson said.

''I know, I'm just glad we escaped it,'' I said.
