(Elora's POV)

I can't stop myself.

I can't stop my inner beast. It's truly a monster; a monster with only anger and darkness shrouding its soul.

A monster that only I can stop. But I can't.

I can't stop it.

Therefore, I can't stop myself from hurting him.

I nearly kill him before being ripped off his unconscious corpse. He's still in his wolf form as they drag me away. I'm sure how they manage to do it, but before I can turn on them, something is injected into my neck. My inner beast calms, and I'm thrown forward to the front of my consciousness.

Something still is latched on from the darker corners as I come through.

"Elora...are you there?"

My eyelids are heavy as I attempt to open them.

Once I regain my vision, things seem darker than I remember and foggier. It's like as though I'm in a dream state; a state of hazy delirium. Even my senses are all over the place.

"Elora, it's me..."

I try focusing in on the familiar voice, but it's so difficult.

"... hey."

First thing I see is Lucaya's face.

"Get up quick!"

I hastily sit up more as his voice is seemingly harsher than it was prior, surprising me.

Rubbing my eyes, I blink a few more times before fully taking in my surroundings. I'm in a dark, dungeon like cell. There's rusted iron bars on three sides with a cold, damp wall on the fourth side; the side in which my back is pressed up against.

Lucaya is wearing all black clothing, making only his head stand out against the darkness.

His hand stretches out towards me as his red eyes plead me to take it. As I grab onto him, he tugs me up to my feet with little to no effort.

My body aches for some reason.

"I feel like I've been hit by a truck," I grumble, rubbing the back of my neck. Lucaya doesn't say anything as he pulls me towards the opened door of my cell. His grip is firm and way too tense for my liking; too tense for him.

"Woah... slow down! What's the rush?!" I manage to keep up with him as we hastily pass other cells. We reach the end of the hall where one cell is occupied.
