Chapter Twenty Two The First Full Moon Tournament

Sasha?

Ashlee wasn't screaming but calling to me.

Sasha?

"Ashlee? Where are you?" I asked as I tried to move through the thick black swamp of nothing that bound me in place.

Ashlee appeared infront of me and I felt my restricting bounds undo completely.

I rushed up to hug her. But when I tried to embrace her it felt as if I were trying to hug my own shadow. Everytime I got close to her she was out of reach and not completely there infront of me. She looked different. Her sea blue eyes didn't have the same glow to them.

"Im sure this is real..." She whispered to herself before she was a few inches away from me her eyes wide. "He's taking me to the First Full Moon Tournament tonight." She said quickly her voice urgent. "It's a big deal with the wolves, but Sebastion loves the violence. You will be there, since your Master is a wolf?" I blinked. Everyone was suddenly calling my captor my master. Was I a pet now or something?

"I dont think he wants to go." I told her.

"It might be our only way of getting out of here. I don't have much strength left but Ive been saving it for our escape." I shook my head with frustration.

"There is no escaping." I said to her with a sullen tone.

"DONT LISTEN TO HIM" She said her voice echoing loudly around us. "He is going to tell you anything to break you, but be strong Sasha!" She told me, she reached for my hand and held it. I was shocked, I had tried so hard a moment ago to hug her and she easily could touch me when she tried. As she was trying to comfort me, I began to notice how prominent her cheekbones looked and how her collarbone was incredibly more defined. Ashlee was sickly thin.

"Ashlee what happened to you?" I asked her as I looked down at her bony fingers.

"I'll be fine." She said taking her hands away from mine. I felt pressure pushing down on me and I began to sink into black nothingness.

"Ashlee!" I screamed. She looked around and a red mist began to develop around her.

"I have to go Sasha," she had fear in her eyes and the black nothingness was up to my neck. "BE THERE TONIGHT!" She said quickly and loudly as the black nothingness swallowed me completely and I awoke.

I woke as the truck came to an abrupt hault. I resisted the urge to immediately sit up to see where we were. Felix was quick to get out of the vehicle, Dominik remained in the truck.

"Sasha?" Dominik asked, his voice wasnt loud as if he knew I was already awake. I didn't answer. He sighed and got out of the truck and opened the backcab door.

He reached down towards me and I cringed away from him. He sighed and rolled his eyes. I sat up and stared at him. His eyes softened and he reached toward me again. I sat still as he reached the black band on my neck and placed his thumb directly in the middle as he pressed the red button in his hand.

I felt hot air as the black band fell from my neck and into his awaiting hand. He put the band and the remote in the front console. I touched my skin where the collar had been.

"I want you to trust me Sasha. I would never hurt you." He said as he offered me a hand out of the truck. I ignored it and got out on my own.

Bodies moved around quickly all in one direction toward a large castle. The stone was dark red, the top of the towers varied in sizes. A large grey fountain was centered directly infront of the castle. With a large wolf as a centerpiece.
