Lauren

It's been at least twelve hours since I was kidnapped by Adrianius himself. I never believed the stories told by my mother, but now I do. Adrianius is real. And he's a lot scarier than I thought. 

The chilly wind makes its' way through the cracks in my cell. I shiver as it strokes my cheek, leaving a hint of blue behind.

"Please, let me go, Adrianius. My family did nothing to you." I shriek, the metal handcuffs tightening. 

"Oh, but your brother caused so much havoc for my family and I. Now it's his turn to suffer." Adrianius opens the window and every fiber of my being freezes until I'm a human-shaped block of ice. 

"You have no idea what I'm capable of, Adrianius. I'm powerful beyond words." I spit at him, the saliva burning a hole through his skin, like a silver bullet to the heart. 

"You have no right to do this, Lauren. It's below werewolf law." 

Suddenly a large bang is heard from the first floor. Adrianius and Seh steal a glance at me as I smirk at my friend's dramatic entrance. The wall is knocked down and lands closer to the boys than I thought as I face my old friend, Indigo, who bares two lethal bullets out to me. 

Adrianius and Seh look up at me as I point the gun at their heads. "Sleep tight, boys." 

"You won't get away with this." Seh says, quieting down as he's weakened by the silver bullet. 

"Come on, lets free the others." Indigo says, pulling the cell door open to a long, dark hallway filled with other cells, and creatures within them. 

................................

Several voices drifted out from the metal cells, while others cowered in the corners. Up ahead, I spot a certain bush of messy red hair and peer in to find Laurie curled up, and covered in massive bruises. 

"Laurie?" The ten-year-old looks up at me with fear in her eyes. 

"I'm so hungry, Lauren. Please help me." Laurie's eyes turn into miniature fires, and she lunges at the door, fangs bared. Indigo aims her .45 gun at her head, and pulls the trigger.Laurie collapses, blood pooling on the concrete.

"That's one down."

"Where do you ladies think you're going with those blessed bullets?" We turn around to face a boy in his early teens holding a silver sword dipped in wolfsbane out towards us. 

"Taking them somewhere safe. Leave while you still can." I say to the young boy who appears to be shivering from the freezing wind. 

"Let's get out of here."

"I don't think so, girls." All I remember next was feeling like I had been hit by a train. I knew I was gonna die eventually.
