Rejecting Dawn

Chapter 14

The coppery smell of blood were wafted into my nose the moment I got my conscious back. Where was I? The last thing I remember was running away from the pack. Did I get captured or something?

I opened my eyes slowly. All I could see were dull white triangles and squares and I felt dazed until all those shapes formed into a black wall. Where was I? I groaned out loud as I felt a sudden soreness on my neck. My limbs were moaning and it felt like I hadn't stretched them in years. The dull ache in my head were getting louder as if someone was banging on it as if it was a door which was slammed shut. I tried to move my hands to wipe away the sleepy haze i was in but I felt restricted. The shackles were the reason.

Shackles... SHACKLES?!

Where was I? Did I get kidnapped? Did rougues take me away? Did Wesley came back for me? Was I back at the basement? Did he get me? Will he kill me? Will he be angry that I rejected him and ran away?

All those questions were swarming in my head like an annoying flock of grasshoppers. They were pretty scary. Bile rose up to my throat. I was going to get sick.

For a moment, I forgot that I was broken and was in this illusion that being physically strong would make me stronger. But I was wrong. My figure may have changed and I might know more techniques now, but I was still the same insecure rejected girl that no one bothered to protect. Well, no one except my mother.

My mother... It would have been so much better for her if I wasn't born.

A loud cough echoed in the cell I was being held prisioner in. Despite feeling like my head would split into two, I snapped it to where the noise was coming from. Curled to a corner of a cell was a familiar black haired girl, Mabel.

She had blood on her lips but her skin looked healed. Her wolf must have done it for her. Speaking of which, where was Fury?!

"M-mabel?" I croaked. Pain seemed to vibrate through my spinal cord and ribs as my voice flowed and came out of my mouth. "Dawn! I told you." Was what she said. She looked exhausted. If I was back with Wesley, what was Mabel doing here? Shouldn't she be at the forest? Did my clumsiness drag Mabel into trouble too?

I shook the shakles and the loud annoying voice of metal clinking were what echoed through the room. "Mabel, I promise... I'll get you out of here" I said and felt a bit satisfied my voice came out normal. She just sighed. Where the hell were we?!

I wish this stupid shackles would loosen up and fall or something. I growled annoyed. "Mabel!" I called out to her. Seriously, I wasn't going to appreciate her willowing on a corner of the cell. We needed a plan to get out of here ASAP. Mabel turned around tiredly. Well she did carry the both of us to the pack territory. Of course she'd be tired.

"Tell me what exactly happened!"

"He bit you. And we are here" was what she said. Who bit me? I don't feel any pain. What the hell! Did fury heal me? Is she back?! I was ecstatic. This is amazing! Fury is back!

Fury?!! Are you there?!

No matter how hard I yelled, she didn't respond. If she isn't here, how did I heal so fast? Unless...

How many days was I unconscious for? Little snippets of the rouges talking flashed in my mind. They would be attacking in a week! I needed to inform Xerxus.

Xerxus... Where the hell was he. I remember meeting him. After that it was blurry.

I suddenly felt excited and elated but it soon doused down to sadness and anger. After that, I felt numb. What was happening to me? This was not making sense one bit.
