Beast In Me (Watty Awards)

Chapter 8 - Epic Break Out

I was so cold. I wrapped the dress skirts around my arms to keep warm. It's hard to keep track of the days. There is one light and it is never turned off. I fall asleep only when I can no longer keep my eyes open and I have no way of telling how long I've slept.

 I couldn't get everything to process through my mind quick enough. I normally put things into lists and then I figure a logical way to go about what to do next. So I'll try.

1. Issac is a Wolf. A really big wolf.

2. Brandon is a betrayer to the Hunters.

3. Hunters hunt Lycanthrope, like Issac.

4. My mother...Is not my mother.

5. I'm locked in my grandparents castle by my nightmare.

6. My nightmare keeps calling me Annette.

7. Who the hell is Annette?!

I had to take a deep breath. This was overwhelming me. My mom... My best friend. Besides Issac, she was the one I'd turned to. She's always believed me. When my 5th teacher would say I was failing because I never tried, my mom would look at me and all I had to say was 'That's not true.' and she'd instantly start up a fight with the teacher for calling me lazy. She.. I mean we even look alike. We both have dark hair, and the same nose. I thought the rest of my features were my fathers. I don't know how I'll get over this. Wait, Brandon knew about this. He was talking to Issac about...oh my... Issac knew. He knew that this women that has been raising me, was not my mother! He was with me almost all my life! He is a traitor to me. I thought he could be the one I could turn to about anything but he probably went and told my mo- ...Guardian everything I told him. God. Please don't cry.

As soon as I thought it, tears started streaming down my face.

There was a noise on the other side of the door. And it opened with a guard behind it. He looked so young. Even younger than me.

" Hey, lady. The Lord Bestia said to give you your normal clothes back. He was hoping that his love, Annette, would resurface quicker if you wore her clothes. So..uh..here." He threw a bag at me. And inside had my jeans and tank top..and my purse. My cell phone is in there if they hadn't taken it out. I didn't look in it though. I don't want to tip off this guard who just made a big mistake.

" Thanks. I'll change now... Leave?" I was getting annoyed how he was looking at me. It's like he's never seen a girl before.

" Yeah, see you later, lady." He tripped on shutting the door.

As soon as it was sealed I dropped bag with my clothes in it and took my cell phone out of my purse. I have never been so happy in my life to see this damn phone. I pressed a button and the screen was black. I almost panicked. I thought it was dead but I remembered taking the battery out because I didn't want to interrupt the date. It was still in my purse. Thank you, God!!!

My phone lit up into life, I almost cried again with relief. There was so many missed calls and texts but I ignored them and dialed Issac's number. I knew I'd have service because there is a cell phone tower in the field next to the ancient castle.

It rang once, twice, three times... Dammit, Issac, please answer!

"Aila?! Is that you?"

" Oh my God, Issac. Please you have to get help. I'm locked in the castle! It's him, Issac. The guy from my dream. He took me. Brandon took me to him! Issac, please come!" I was in a complete panic by now.

" Aila! Breathe! I'm on my way. Stay on the phone with me. How did you, I mean- did you have your phone this entire time?!'' He sounded like he was getting worked up.
