I turn over on my back, and I all I feel is coldness. I feel for my comforter, but I can't find. I groan because it must have fallen off the bed again. I open my eyes and see nothing. Panic fills me as I reach around myself for my comforter, but I don't even find my bed. I feel only cold concrete. I stand up and walk forward, but I hit some kind of metal fence. I walk around and hit walls. I'm in some kind of cage. I sit down and try to remember everything. The memories of Pack members screaming, and me shifting. I then remember being injected with something and then watching my family die. I close my eyes as the grief and tears come. Tears travel down my cheeks, and the memory of my family being killed comes to mind. I hug my knees and rock back and forth as I cry silently. I'll never see them again. They're gone. My mind then switches to Luke, and I pray that he's OK. I lean against the wall sitting in the darkness waiting for someone or anyone to save me. 

Hours Later

I've been waiting in the darkness for hours, and still, no one has come. I've been crying for awhile. My best friend is dead and so is my family. Out of nowhere light spreads into the room. I close my eyes trying to adjust to the light. When my eyes have finally adjusted I see that I'm in some kind of cage. There's a chain-linked gate in front of me, and on the sides are concrete walls. I hear footsteps and clanking. 

A male voice then says,"Eat up doggies." I look to see if I'm still in my wolf form and I'm not. I'm wearing a gray plain dress. A man then appears in front of my cage. He's holding a dog bowl that's full of something. He opens a little slot at the bottom of my cage and places the bowl there, and then shuts it. 

He then says,"Eat up dog. You'll need it." He then walks to the next cage and does the same thing. I scoot over to the bowl and look down and see some watered up brown mush. I look at the food puzzled, I'm not a dog. 

I stand up and bang on the chain linked gate. 

I then yell,"Hey! I'm not a dog!" I try to push the gate down, but I'm not as strong as I usually am. The man who had given me food comes back to my cage and glares at me. 

He then yells,"Hey shut it mutt, or I'll have someone shut it for you!" I sit down not wanting to get in trouble. 
The man then says,"Good dog." He leaves and goes off to some other cage. I push my bowl away because I refuse to eat whatever this is. I lean against the cement wall and close my eyes. This can't be happening. I shake my head to myself. Everything was finally perfect, but now it feels like the world is ending. I sit and think about my family who's now dead. Their gone forever. I think of their bodies lifeless on the ground and their blood pouring from their heads mixing together. A tear leaves my eyes and my wolf whimpers. 

*I'm so sorry I couldn't protect them.* It's not your fault. 

*I miss mate.* Me too. Are you able to tell if he's OK?

*I can still feel his emotions. He's very worried about us.* I sight at the thought of a worried Luke. Are we the only ones here?

*No other pack members are here.* I put my head in my hands. Everyone is probably scared and terrified. I need to be strong for everyone. I scoot over to the chain linked gate and take in a deep breath.

I then say,"Hello, it's me you're Luna." I soon hear many voices yelling different things to me. 

I then say,"Everyone please calm down. I know you're all scared, and some of you are grieving as well because we did lose many lives but we all need to be strong. I don't know why we're here or what will happen, but I do know our Alpha will get us out of here." 

A female voice then says,"How can you tell?" 

I then say,"Because I can feel him, and he's worried about all of us and determined to get every single one of us back home."
