"What are you doing here?" The wolf growled again but we were all to weak to reply to him. I could hear a shuffling of feet coming towards us.

"Luc-" The voice gasped as I could hear more shuffling. "Lucas is the really you?" I opened my eyes slightly to look at Lucas who was lifting his head to see who the person was that was walking closer to him

He tried to lift himself off the ground but failed with his arms slipping out from underneath him. "Uncle Devin." Lucas gasped out coughing up some blood. All of our bodies were beyond exhausted at this point, they were starting to shut down. I could feel Lucas reaching for my hand as I reached out for his. I needed his comfort at the moment just like he did mine.

We didn't know where we were, well maybe Lucas did since he knew one of these wolves but his state of mind couldn't help us out much at the moment.

I could tell that the wolf that was having fun growling at us when it was clear that we couldn't answer his question was arguing with whoever this 'uncle Devin' is. I wasn't paying any attention to the words they were saying, it all sounded like mush to me anyway.

"We will take them to the cells until the alpha gets back and he can take a look at the situation." The grumpy wolf growled again, I am starting to think that that is all he knows how to do.

"Look at them!" 'Uncle Devin' shouted. "They are barely alive as it is they wont survive down there." Once again the conversation was flowing in and out of my mind.

"No..." I croaked out, all I knew was that I didn't want to go into a cell, it would remind me too much of the cage.

"We have to Devin, you now pack laws, you don't even know them they could be dangerous." I would have wanted to argue with the grumpy wolf but he did have a point, we could be here to kill them for all they know. In their positions I would have reacted the exact same way.

I felt myself being picked up and it was then my mind seemed to snap, I started to scream and thrash around in the arms of whoever was carrying me, and I do feel bad so the amount of cuts and scratches I may have given the poor wolf.

I kept repeating "No, please don't take me back there, I cant survive that." I have well and truly snapped and my mind has broken, fear was controlling all of my actions now, what made it worse was that I couldn't find any of the others, I couldn't see them anywhere. I knew they were close by because I could hear them having almost the exact same panic attack.

No one wanted to go back into a cage, no matter how logical it was for these wolves to do so.

The adrenaline that came from my panic attack woke me up a bit, I was alert as I was being carried down a set of stairs I couldn't see much as once again it was dark and underground. It sent shivers up my spine.

I could hear keys jingling and rattling open locks as we all got thrown into our cells. "Please don't leave us down here." Was all I whispered as I was placed into my cell. Tears were streaming down my face at the possibility of being down here forever. I can't go through that again.

I was placed on a bed, a real bed. That made me smile slightly I haven't known the comfort of a bed in goddess knows how long, it was just a metal slab with a thin sheet and a flat pillow. But it was a bed, I lay down placing my head on the pillow and feeling somewhat warm and comforted by having the sheet on top of me.

This was comfort for me.

I could hear the others close by to me, through the bars my bed was attached to I could feel Lucas reach out to me. He was reaching his hand out to mine, I shuffled my body so that I was facing him and grabbed his hand through the bars. I would need him to get through tonight.

I was able to stretch out as I held onto Lucas and my bones were more than thankful for that and soon I slipped off into a nice peaceful slumber, the best sleep I have had in a long, long time.

This sleep was well deserved for all of us.

*

I awoke to the noise of beeping and nothing but white walls around me, this was not where I was taken. Where was I? I felt the panic in me bubble to the surface once again. I was alone in a room, Lucas and the others were nowhere to be seen.

I sat up and my head spun, it felt like it had been hit a few times by a ten tonne truck and lost the fight. I tried to sit up but I was too weak, my arms couldn't hold my body up so I just fell straight back into the pillows.

There was something in my arm, it was attached to a bag of blood, and I don't know if it was giving me blood or taking it from me. But either way it brought up bad memories of the time the hunters took blood from me.

I ripped it out of my arm ant then I noticed another needle sticking into me, this time it was just attached to a bag of clear liquid. Are they helping me or hurting me?

I don't know the answer to that question and it scars me, I don't want to escape one hell just to fall into another. I was about to try to get out of bed again when I heard voices outside the door.

"Are they okay?" it was the voice of a male who seemed to be genuinely worried

"I don't know, there are still traces of poisons in their systems. They are fighting them off but I don't know how much they have suffered and if they will pull through." It was a sad voice of a female, I don't know why but in our culture it is mainly she wolves that are the doctors.

"What about the other two?" The male asked.

"Honestly I don't know. But I am doing what I can I can help the witch but the vampire." She sighed I could hear it through the door. "I may need to call the coven for them to help him."

"What do you think happened to them?" The male asked.

"I have no idea, I am surprised they are even alive to be honest, but they all have a fight in them. We wont know anything until they wake up." She paused I don't know if she was waiting for the male to speak but when he didn't she continued on. "I am doing blood transfusions trying to get rid of the toxins in their bodies and replace it with clean blood in an attempt to heal them faster. I just hope that they can all be saved, they are so weak and malnourished. It is a miracle that they are alive."

The smell of blood was flooding my system and I realised that I shouldn't have ripped the needles out of my arms as now they were both flowing with blood. I must have ripped them out to harshly and now knowing that they are trying to help us it seems like a very bad idea to have ripped them out. And now I have to stop the blood from flowing out of my body if I want to make it out of here alive.

It's funny that when you think that you may die that is when you fight the hardest to stay alive. That is when you decide that you really want to live.

And I really want to be alive, even if I don't feel like it right now, something in me is telling me to stay alive.

I was starting to panic now as I tried to stop the blood from flowing out of my body. And the more I started to panic the more beeping I heard from the machine next to me and thankfully, well I don't know if it is something to be thankful of yet but a doctor came into the room.

"What have you done!?" She tried to seem clam but her voice held the worry in it. She came rushing over to me and put something over my arms to stop the bleeding from what I remember of when I went to the pack doctors when I was younger it is called gauze.

She put pressure on the areas that I ripped the needles from lifting them up occasionally to see if the blood was stopping.

"Sorry." I mumbled softly looking away from her, I knew what I did was stupid but it was just my mind remembering what has happened to me in the past. I can't be blamed for freaking out when I wake up all alone in a strange place.

"Its fine, lets just get these pack into you so we can help you out." She had a very soft and soothing voice.

I looked up to her and looked into her warm and kind brown eyes, well they were more hazel then brown. But they looked sincere like she wouldn't hurt me. She was very pretty with honey blonde hair pulled back into a very professional looking bun.

"How are the others?" I asked quietly as she smiled down to me.

"Hopefully waking up soon, you are the first one to wake, tell me how are you feeling?"

"Ahh..." I didn't know how to answer that I was feeling how I always felt sore, tried cramped and in pain. But that isn't normal, at least not for her. "Terrible." I admitted. "But it isn't too bad I am used to it by now."

She looked at me with sad eyes. "Do you want to talk about it?"

Do I? Do I want to talk about that place? No I never want to talk about that place, I know that it will haunt me for the rest of my life. But I know I have to talk about it eventually, I need to tell people our story of what happened there. I need everyone to know to be careful of the hunters and we need to destroy that place.

And them...

She kept looking at me, waiting for my answer to which I just shook my head, I am not ready right now, especially since the others aren't awake yet.

"When you are ready I am here for you, I know you must have gone through something terrible but remember you survived it." She smiled at me again she had a contagious smile that made me want to smile back even though that was the last thing I wanted to do.

I heard another beep and she picked up a small pager from her waist looking at it before apologising and leaving the room. I remember that Jordan had a pager that would almost constantly go off until he got frustrated one day and through it against a wall.

I had nothing but my mind to occupy my thoughts once she left the room with a sway to her step.

The next three days went on the same way someone coming to check on me writing down notes but no one would tell me how the others were, I was told that by last night everyone was awake and we were all going to make it through. But I wanted to see for myself, I needed to see them for myself.

I don't trust the words that come out of anyone's mouth, how can I believe them when I don't see it for myself.

The doctor came and checked on me a few times a day, I learnt that her name was Alice, Doctor Alice but she likes to just be called Alice. She knows what she is and doesn't need everyone reminding her of that every time they come to her. I laughed a little at that, normally wolves like being referred to by there titles if they had a position of power.

Just like clockwork Alice came into the room again. "I have some good news for you today." She smiled as her chipper voice bounced through the room. I perked up at that, I want, no I need some good news right about now.

She didn't wait for me to respond she just kept going which was another thing I had learnt about her, she loved to talk even if you weren't going to reply to her she just loved to talk out loud. I liked her. She seemed like a very good wolf and I was intrigued by her she seemed very young to be the head doctor I didn't think that she would be older then 24.

"You can go see all of the others and get out of here tonight." She smiled her contagious smile that I couldn't help return. She helped me out of the bed, it still weird me out to be dressed in something clean, it was only a hospital gown but it smelt so clean and fresh and didn't stick to my body.

Alice had been making me get out of bed and walk around my small hospital a number of times a day just so I could get used to using them again.

Alice lead me out of my room into a bigger room that had the others waiting for me in there all being aided by doctors as well. I almost ran straight up to Lucas when I saw him and then to Alan and Wanda but Alice had a tight grip on me and had warned me not to over exhaust myself while I was still weak.

Lucas's uncle Devin was in the room with us as well and he couldn't have looked happier that Lucas was all right. Alice walked me over to a big comfy and fluffy armchair that I don't think I ever want to get out of. Another Doctor placed Lucas on a couch right next to me with his uncle. Alan and Wanda also shared a couch across from us. It felt nice to be together again without the fear of running for our lives. All of the doctors left us alone while Alice promised to come back for us in a little while.

No one spoke for a moment we were all just happy to be together again. Devin cleared his throat breaking the silence. "Lucas told me what happened, all of it." He looked around at us with very sad eyes, especially when he looked at Lucas and myself. "I have told the Alpha everything and he would like to talk to you all himself when you are able to, just to confirm what Lucas has said." Tears that wanted to shed started to form in his eyes.

"I am so sorry about what happened to you all. But I am happy to know that I have at least one family member left alive." He smiled down at Lucas and wrapped his arm around his shoulders. "Thank the goddess for that, and that you are all here." He paused for a moment smiling at all of us. "But lets move on to happier topics and ignore all of this sadness for a moment." I for one couldn't agree more with him.

We didn't have much to say besides that we were all just happy that we made it out alive with each other. The four of us have a bond that can't be broken we all saved each other. And for that we will be forever grateful to each other

Our time together passed quickly as we talked about nothing in particular, there was lots of hugging and thank goddess you are alive with Devin fussing like a mother hen wanting us all to stay in our seats and take it easy.

Alice knocked on the door and poked her head in letting us know that she was putting some clothing in our rooms and that we could move out soon enough.

"I have a cabin sat up right next to me for you three just while we get you all sorted." Devin smiled down at Lucas happy that he had family alive. He looked over at me before he spoke again. "There is a spare room in my house if you feel the need to stay with Lucas." Devin was looking from the both of u, trying to figure out something that I had no clue over.

I just shrugged in response, I wanted to stay wherever there was a warm bed and food and safety.

Alice walked me back to my room and helped me into the dress she lent me, she said it was one of her own and she gave it to me because we were the same height and we all deserve to look nice no matter the situation. It was a nice dress plain blue and flowy easy to get on and off in my weak state.

I was really starting to like Alice. I feel like when I am better and not so jumpy she could be my friend, I think she feels the same as well.

The four of us met up at the entrance to the hospital, clock above the door read 12:30Pm, lunchtime no wonder I was hungry. They had been feeding us a number of times during the day trying to put some well-needed weight back on us.

Alice looked nice in a pink dress with polka dots on it while the boys just had plain black t-shirts and trousers. We all still needed a very good shower we were all still covered in dirt and grime, Alice said they tried to do what they could but didn't want to be invasive of us.

Alice, Devin and two other doctors helped us over to where we would be staying, wolves of the pack would glance at us looking at us with curious eyes before Devin or Alice would growl and snarl at them and they would divert there eyes.

I know why they looked we were strangers to them, they didn't know us as all of course they would want to look at us and try to figure out who we were and why two wolves, a witch and a vampire would have shown up here half dead. But that didn't mean I liked being looked at.

I could tell by how they reacted to Devin that he was a wolf with position in the pack and was well respected. I looked around the pack lands as we walked, I liked it here there were birds and butterflies flying around patches of flowers growing along the road purples and pinks it looked nice. Trees were everywhere but not so much that they overtook the landscape, it was open but at the same time hidden if that makes any sense.

We reached Devin's home, it was modest, not big and not small at the same time, made out of a dark wood, and right next to it was a small cabin made out of the same wood just big enough for us.

It seemed like a nice enough place for us all to be staying for now. "Thank you." I smiled up to Devin trying to be polite towards the man who was showing us niceness.

"You're welcome." He smiled back to me as he handed Alice the keys to the cabin. "Once you get settled come to the house and I will have some food prepared for you all." I nodded as I stepped forward with Alice.

She opened the door and I followed her inside with Alan and Wanda behind me it looked bigger in the inside then it did from the outside. There was a decent sized kitchen a living room, there was no dining room, it wasn't design for that and there was four bedrooms all the same size. Between two bedrooms there would be a bathroom. It would go bedroom, bathroom, bedroom on one side of the living room and then on the other side the exact same pattern.

This cabin was made for family to stay in when they visited. There was three couches in the living room set up in a horseshoe around the coffee table facing the T.V and fireplace, it was cosy in here but the layer of dust coating everything but the kitchen said that no one had been in here for a very long time.

Alice took me to my bedroom while Alan and Wanda were taken to there's, they were next to each other on the opposite side from me. At least they have each other.

Alice talked about how she brought a few things over for me and that soon the four of us would need to go shopping and get what we needed she even let me know that she brought the bedding over for me as what was in here wasn't good enough in her standards.

"Are you going to be okay of I leave for awhile?" She asked me.

"I'll be fine." I smiled, I just wanted some time alone to adjust to everything here, and what was going to happen now.

Alice left giving me a quick hug and assured me that everything would be okay and that she would be back to check on me later tonight when she was finished work. I walked her to the door thanking her again for everything she has done since I got here. I waited for her to leave my line of sight waving her goodbye.

I went back to my room once she left and I sat on the bed taking it all in, we were safe here.

At least for now.
