We searched the past couple days for Ash and Dannie and had a small trace. But it lead to an abandoned building that had a stench mixed with Ash and Dannie. Rouges. This made my blood boil.

Rouges are werewolves that have no pack or home. They don't have a scent except rotten garbage and are very dangerous and violent. Who knows what they'll do to Ash and Dannie. I know neither has died yet because I would feel it through Ash. I did feel a strong pain in my back and jaw and I panicked. Lets just say we need a new window and a new table...

ASHLEY'S POV


I woke up and grabbed my throbbing head. It was very dark but I could tell I was still in the cage and there was another cage in front of me. We were moving so we were probably in a car or truck. I squinted and tried to make out who was in the cage but it was two dark. All I saw was a dark figure laying down at the bottom of the bars.

"Ashley?" The figure sat up slowly. It was Dannie. Relief filled my body and I sighed.

"Dannie, thank god. Are you ok?" I asked grabbing the bars of my cage.

"Shhh... Don't talk so loud," She said putting a hand up to her temple. "Yeah I'm fine. Are you ok?" She put her hand back down.

"Yeah. Where are we going?" I asked. She shrugged and I slumped down to the back. "Who is that one guy?"

"That's Michael. He's the leader of the rouge pack," Rouge pack? Rouges are loners. They cant belong to a pack. They are very dangerous and a whole pack of them...? Oh boy. 

"Hey Ash?" I heard her soft voice whisper.

"Yeah?" I sat up again.

"Can you contact Cade?" She asked hopefully but still quiet.   I never even thought about that. I tried to open the bond but its like something was blocking it. I tried harder and harder and soon I was tired and out of breath.

"No. Its like somethings in the way," I sighed.

"Great. Two days and still nothing," She said leaning back.

"Wait. Two days? We've been in here for two days?" I asked.

"Yeah. We get food soon though. I can always see if its day or night and its been two days." She shrugged like it was no big deal.

She was right. Not even twenty minutes later we came to a stop and Alex came in with two plates of sludge and a roll.

"Hey Alex. I have to go to the bathroom," I lied.

"So. What does that have to do with me?" He said walking back to the doors.

I huffed when we were invoked into the darkness again.

"How are we gonna get out of here?" I said taking a bite of the semi- stale roll.

"I don't know but it isn't any use in trying to unlock the bars. I've already tried that," She said pointing to a small piece of metal that was a little bent.

"What if we throw our selves and the door? It worked last time I did it." I suggested.

"We can try," She said pushing her food out the whole.

I went to the very back and threw myself at the door. The cage went flying towards Dannie's and we collided instantly. Her cage took the impact of mine and went crashing into the wall. I went flying forwards and put my arms out to brace myself. I heard an odd cracking sound and next thing I know I was laying on the cold metal ground. I sat up and smiled. I was out. I stood up and crumpled back down, my smile fading fast.

I howled in pain and grabbed my ankle. I felt around it for a little while and didn't find any bone that felt out of place. I just sprained it. I crawled over to Dannie's cage and saw the door bent out a tad bit. Dannie was watching me as I fit my fingers into the slit and yanked hard. The door cave out and opened.

Dannie leapt at me and wrapped her arms around my neck.

"Were out!" She screeched. "But how do we get out?" she pulled away.


CADE'S POV


We were still looking in the woods when my stomach lurched and I felt a shearing pain in my ankle. I toppled over shut my eyes tight from the pain.

It wasn't my pain though. It was Ashley's. Someone was hurting her and I hated it. Blake came over and squatted beside me.

"Hey man. What's wrong?" He put his arm on my shoulder and shook me a little bit.

"Its Ash," I whispered and opened my eyes when the pain faded. He helped me stand up and I continued, limping with every step. It hurt but it was bearable.


ASHLEY'S POV


I stood up and Dannie wrapped her arm around my waist. I put my arm over her shoulder and she helped me walk to the door. There was a small latch at the bottom and I slid a finger under it and it squeaked a little. I pulled it up and out and the doors flew open. We were going fast and there was no way we could jump out.

"Ash?" Dannie said grabbing the wall to hold on. I looked at her and grabbed her hand.

We looked out at the dirt road and she nodded.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath. And jumped.
