Mine

~|| Chapter 15 ||~

I groggily yawned, trying to erase all effects of sleep off my body. I don't know where I am but I know it's not home.

I'm in a dark shadowy room that probably has stuff in the shadows but I'm too scared to check.

I swivel my head left and right, waiting for my eyesight to change in the darkness but to no avail, it stayed the same.

"Ahh you're awake," I hear a saccharine sweet voice. I look around for the owner but I still couldn't see.

"You won't be able to see me... You shouldn't even try."

Well that's creepy... Creeper alert.

I sit still on the concrete floor, not moving, "I just want to go back home. Where's Courtney and Terrence? I want my friends back."

"You'll see them soon. After we give a warning to your dear mate."

Val? What does Val have to do with any of this?

"What do you mean," I ask sounding confused. Well, of course I sound confused.

The voice chuckles then says, "Ora dormi."

What language was that? It obviously wasn't Latin, because if it was, I would know what it was. It kinda sounded like that language Valentino always talks in. What was it again? French?

My train of thought got lost in the universe as I started getting drowsy. Oh well. Maybe it's just time for a nap.

But what if that voice cursed me?! What if I'm like Sleeping Beauty and now I'm going to be half dead for one hundred years? I don't remember pricking my finger though. Maybe there's a new efficient way to curse people these days...

/:/:/:

This time I wake up to the sound of crickets. I look around to find myself in the woods instead of that dark room.

I get up and brush off my body, clad in sweats. Where did the sweats even come from?

I discard my thoughts and sniff the air for a clue on where I could be. I come up empty so I glance in a direction to the left of me and just started walking that way.

Hopefully before I get lost, Valentino could find me.

I walk for what seems like hours and I come across a lake. Could this be the same lake where this whole thing started?

I decide to try to contact Amber for help... Maybe even Courtney.

'Amber,' I ask the never ending oblivion in my mind.

I feel a presence awaken and I know right away it's Amber.

'Oh Victoria it's you! I've been having problems contacting you for some while. It's like there's been a temporary block in between us,' she gladly yipped.

I nodded, 'I agree. Do you know if there's anyway back? Is there anyway you can contact Blaze,' I asked referring to Valentino's wolf. I know I can't contact him because I'm not in the pack, but Amber could probably contact Blaze because they're both bonded together.

She agrees to try and resorts back to the corner of my mind.

Next on my list is Courtney.

I try to mind link Courtney and come up blank. Hopefully that only means that she's safely back home and asleep.

I look around for anything that can remind me of the direction I came from and found rocks. Though it wasn't any ordinary rocks, and I'm surprised I forgot about them.

It was just a couple rocks clumped together but the wow factor to it was the bright fuchsia flowers blooming all over their leather hard surfaces. Even in the dead of night, I could see them practically glowing.

I hop over a log and start on my trek back home. A couple miles past the rocks, I start hearing yelps, growls, and barks coming right towards... Me.

I wait till they come around then sidestep the four wolves so I don't get injured. As they pass me, I tip my imaginary hat towards them, "Hello gentlemen."

The leader wolf, at the front of the running pack, was the first to see me. Seeing my face apparently put him in some kind of temporary shock because he skidded to a stop making the three wolves behind him run into his butt.

Honestly, that scene looked like it jumped out of a cartoon I had watched as a kid. Oh who am I kidding, I saw the cartoon yesterday.

I watch as the wolves come out of shock and change back to human form.

I'm not at all surprised when they shout, "We've found the Luna," in unison.

Hello. Late. Sigh. I know. I'm a disappointment.
