I wake up to find I'm freezing my butt off. I wrap my arms around my torso and I can feel the goosebumps through my shirt. I look around and see that I'm in a stone room, the walls have small vines growing on the wall, along with some pale flowers.

I feel weak and drained. I also feel an awful pain in my wrists. I look down and see small holes in my wrists, maybe from a needle. A strong realization hits me. I look to the small flowers. That's wolves bane...I've been poisoned!! I slowly stand up and I feel pain all throughout my body. I hear a small voice behind me.
"Who are you," Whispers the voice.
I turn around and see a small girl.
I smile and sit on my knees.
"My name is Melody. What's yours?"
She smiles back and says, "Elizabeth, why did my dad bring you here?"
I shrug my shoulders, "I don't know Elizabeth, I'm just trying to leave my pack." I mumble the last part quietly.
Elizabeth mumbled something before a voice overpowered hers to speak.

"Elizabeth!! GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE!" The voice yelled. Elizabeth looked worried before leaving the small room through a door I never noticed. I heard some distant yelling before a man walked in. His face was a blood red, and to be honest, he scared me a little.
He stated simply, "What did you say to my daughter?"
I whispered, "We just introduced ourselves and she asked me why I was here. Where am I?"
He sat quietly before saying, "You are in the pack of the Blood Moon. Please state your business for being on our territory."
I whisper, "I was running away. I knew I was on your territory, but my wolf wouldn't stop."
He looked at me and said, "Why were you trying to run away?"
I didn't answer right away, so I guess that angered him.

"WHY WERE YOU RUNNING AWAY?!" He yelled. Getting anger, I turned around and pulled the back of my shirt up to reveal the lashes and the cuts and bruises I had on my back.
I yelled, "SEE?!"

He didn't reply, but he left the room. I heard some distant mumbling and then it slowly faded. All of a sudden, I saw black dots blurring my vision. All of a sudden, everything went black.
