Hush (WATTYS 2017)

Ariana Blacksworth was taken at the age of fifteen.

Her kidnapers, hunters, kept her under so much wolfsbane that she's never shifted. They beat her mercilessly, and use what she has for their pleasure. Once she realized talking back only made things worse, she stopped.

She became mute.

She's eighteen now and hasn't talked in two years. Not one peep.

She's forgotten what her voice sounded like. She forgot how it feels to talk.

So what happens when she finally gets out?
