The Missing Wolf Pack

Chapter 5

Alpha Andrew POV
      Opening my eyes, I'm welcomed by the dark and damp cell. The smell of blood infiltrating my nose, almost making me gag. Once I get myself together I limp to the bars. "So it wasn't a dream." I thought. "No.. I'm afraid not." My wolf answered. "At least your still here." I smiled. "Alpha Andrew you finally woke up! You've been out for almost a whole day. It's getting night again." Whispered one of my warriors across from me. I just nodded. "Head count! Who do we got?" I call out. For several minutes my pack members just called out letting me know they were ok. Then a door opened. "Well well well looks like the mini alpha finally woke up." A demon like voice speaks as footsteps sound through the halls. Soon the person appears in front of my cell. "Now that he is out of the way. I can finally take the land." Says another voice. "I recognize that voice.. Justin the top warrior of the chiefs the neighboring pack." I said more to myself. "That is correct mini Alpha. Aren't you just the little genius." He scoffs. "You won't get away with this." I growl. "Oh but we already have." He smirks then begins walking away. Glaring daggers at his back, I watch him walk away.
      I listen to his footsteps outside, before a thud reaches my ears. "Justin!" The demon voice calls out. Worry evident. Confusion covers my features.
     Hours pass before they both stomp into the building. The door flying open, banging on the wall. They reach my cell and Justin grabs me by the shirt through the bars. "they're dead.. how did you do it? A witch?! What?!" He yells at me. Once again confused I just stare at him. "what do you mean? You have us all locked up in here how the hell can we kill them?" My father asks, a few cells down. A rogue runs in panting. "Bul... Bullet holes... They are.. riddled.. with.. bullet holes." He gasps out.
      "Who has guns?" They ask each other. "You are the only ones I've seen.. maybe someone has turned." Mac states. Making me want to laugh. He finally let's me go, and I fall on my ass. I was not expecting that... "Someone's missing..." My wolf says. "What do you mean?" I ask trying to hide the confusion from my face while retreating into the dark corners of the cell. "A scent... It's missing. I just can't tell who it is." My wolf informs. And now I'm curious.
     I start going over the head count in my head. Naming off all the members. Who could be missing? How could they have gotten away? Are they with them?
    As I begin with the never ending questions, they leave I'm guessing to talk to their people. Hours go by and I can't figure out who it is that's missing. Soon the few lights lining the hallway shut off.. night time. I allow my brain to shut off and I drift off into a light sleep.

     Walking through the hallway, I purposely bump into Danielle. The quiet girl.
       Danielle pushes my hand away from Rebecca's throat and I grab hers instead.
      I watch as Danielle stands in the center of town.. chained to the pole... With everyone watching.. again. Why do I do this to her?
    "Danny!" I yell at 7 year old Danielle. "Drew!" She yells back. She runs towards me and I open my arms, catching her as she jumps on me. Twirling her around I take a deep breath of her scent. Honey and roses. It's a beautiful scent that I have grown to love. Ah my sweet Danny, if only you knew I had a crush on you. I thought.
     "Danny? Are you ok? Danny please talk to me!" I cried from the hallway of her house. I could practically hear her tears hitting the floorboards. "Danny open the door. That's an order from your future alpha." I said trying to dry up my tears and find my alpha voice which has not come in yet. The padding of her feet reached my ears, and a teary eyed Danielle opened the door. "Yes?" She asked her head down. Who is this Danielle? And where is my best friend? I asked myself. "You're weak! Changing because of a death. Death is all around us. Suck it up." One of the warriors said as he passed. More tears silently spilled out of her eyes. Was she weak? Does this make her weak? "You are weak." I said, my face hardening. Not knowing what I had just did, I walked away. Word spread fast and soon she was labeled as weak. All because her parents had died..

    I gasped in breath coming out of the dream. "Danielle!" I whisper shouted. "What about her?" The warrior across from me asked as he moved to the bars. "She is missing." I whispered quieter. "No son.. I know where she's at... She's home." Dad said. "With guns." Mom finished.
     Then a few gun shoots sounded from at least a mile away. Only a few before they vanished.
    "And shes coming." They said together. Realization set in quick. The girl I whipped and made fun of, for losing her parents is coming to save me and the pack that I could not protect.
    "Don't be so hard on yourself Andrew... No one would had survived if we fought back." Mac states, pack members agreeing.

    "Ohhhhh Alphaaaaaa!" The demon voice sang as the door swing open. "What?" Dad growled. "Oh not you old man... Mini Alpha. He would be the one stepping up so he's Alpha." He states laughing. I tense up as my door opens and at least 10 rogues escort me out.
     I'm set in a open space, rogues surrounding me. "What's this about?" I ask, before I'm hit in the head with the butt of a gun. "Come out and we will let him live!" Demon boy yells. But then I slowly begin remembering the training Danielle put herself through after her parents deaths. "I know you are from his pack.. we did a head count we know there is only one of you!" He yells. And I begin laughing. "She's already gone... She won't stay long knowing you can beat her." I stated. He hits me with the butt of the gun again before I'm hauled off back to my cell where I'm repeatedly beat. "Ughhhh... They hit like bitches!" I groan with a sick smile on my face. I could hear growls from the door.
    So we are under guard all night.. good to know. Hours tick by as my body heals itself. No one talking, except for the song every now and then. Night comes and we all go to sleep with hope blossoming.
