Louisa Lloyd

I wake up to the sound of a machine beeping and people talking. Is it okay if I say I don't recognize the voices? They're all male.

"She's been asleep for two days now!" The first, and loudest, voice says. "Do something!"

"I'm not the one who should be doing something!" A second voice responds. "And you shouldn't be here! You're a hunted man."

"Yeah, and whose fault is that?"

"I was panicking!"

"Guys..." A third, more controlled one, tries to catch their attention.

"It's your fault! You should've thought of something better!"

"Guys..."

"Oh, this is my fault now? You're the one creeping people out!"

"GUYS!"

There's silence in the room as the third voice shouts to finally shut them up.

"She's awake."

When these words leave his mouth, the other two walk to my side. One of them grabs my hand and caresses my fingers.

"Please wake up... We need you here Princess."

I want to move, I want to open my eyes and see who's here with me. But it's like someone is holding me back, my muscles don't obey me and it's frustrating. The voices plea for me to wake up but I can't. I whimper lowly and feel something inside my head stirring.

I turn my head to the side and open my eyes. Instead of the normal hospital I was expecting, I'm faced with the only thing I hate the most besides broccoli.

The Alpha.

But how do I know he's the Alpha? Who's this man? He has short light brown hair and a permanent smirk on his face. He is nothing like I pictured him to be. He looks...

Normal.

I don't remember standing up but I'm next to Stiles as we both stare at the man. When I look down at myself, something floats out of my body and I start trembling. That's when I understand I'm the thing that flew out of my own body. I look around and I'm still standing next to Stiles. But how's that possible if I'm here too?

Am I in two places at the same time right now?

That's not possible! I'm dreaming, I'm just dreaming. If I close my eyes I'll be back. Just do it!

I don't even move and the man starts talking to Stiles. I can't see anything else besides me, Stiles, the man and a car. It's a chilly night and the cold penetrates my bones.
