I woke up screaming, shooting up to a sitting position.

"Ahh, fucking hell!" I shot up and immediately felt pain in the side of my stomach.

I then lifted up the blanket that had been placed over me to look at how bad my injury actually was.

As I looked down I could see that it was getting worse and my blood had turned silver.

"No, no, no!" A tall, curly haired, brunette man said running up to me and gently pushing me back down so I was lying down again.

"You need to be careful, you're hurt." A second man walked over with two other people following behind him.

"No shit, Sherlock." I replied, rolling my eyes at the stupid comment.

"I like her." A strangely familiar girl with short black hair said handing me a glass of water.

I sat up slowly this time and took it from her hands.

I didn't realise how thisty I was until I had finished the whole glass.

The first man took the empty glass from my hands and put it down on the floor.

I looked down at what I was wearing.

I had been covered up with a grey fluffy blanket, while remaining naked underneath.

The girl walk out of the room, disappearing up the stairs.

"So do I get to know your names?" I asked, looking at the 3 men left in the room.

"Randall." The first man smiled at me.

"I'm Hamish and that's Jack, and then there's Lilith." The second man spoke up.

"What about you?" Randall asked, looking at me.

"Dylan." I replied, looking at each of them.

"Here. Try these on." Lilith came back down stairs, handing me a pile of clothes.

"Thank you." I smiled, taking them from her.

I wrapped myself in the blanket and followed Lilith to the bathroom.

I walked back into the room that I had woken up in, and found it empty.

I found a book that I recognized as the one that Jack was reading when I woke up.

I picked up the book and flicked through it.

I found a page about my hide, Ace.

Hide Name: Ace

Description: Ace is a natural born alpha but be careful because if the Champion that wears the hide isn't strong enough to control it then they can be consumed by the nature of the hide and the Champion will be lost alongside the hide.

Relationship History: Long ago the Champions wearing the hides Ace & Tundra were bother and sister. One night they had gone out with the hide, Greybeard. They had encountered a threat and Tundra would of died if it wasn't for Ace who gave her own life to save the fellow knight. This caused the two hides to grow closer and bond.
