Chapter 8. More Cages

We woke up to find ourselves in yet another cage. Another stupid damn cage. Haven't they been able to come up with something new yet?

The only positives were that in this one we were outside under the light of the moon, and that we were with each other. We weren't separated.

We could actually touch each other.

That thought snapped me back to my senses as I sat up and searched wildly for my brothers, I let out a relieved breath when my eyes found them. And for once I was able to smile. I could see them clearly and touch them.

That happiness I felt was brief, because now I was able to see what type of state they were truly in. This was the first time I have been able to see them clearly and it broke my heart to see them this way.

To see them as a shell of the person they used to be. I could see the bruises that covered them clearly, and just how malnourished they really were. They were literally just bones with loose skin dangling off them.

I always knew that this was what they looked like, because how couldn't they be like that in a place like this, but actually seeing them in this state is different then just knowing it.

I could pretend differently when I didn't see it with my own eyes.

I rushed over to them, stumbling along the way, trying not to trip over the limbs of other wolves. My legs didn't know how to work properly it has been too long since I used them. They were still passed out when I reached them. Most of the wolves were still passed out only a few of us had woken up.

All of us who were awake rushed over to anyone they knew, no one wants to wake up alone in a strange place.

I saw Lucas cradle his older sister, hugging her while he was crying. I guess he cant stand seeing her like that either, I mean who would be able to see someone they loved in this type of state.

A breathe away from death.

Lucas looked just like me better off then the rest we were still wasting away to nothing but we weren't as bruised as everyone else. Bianca must have done what my brothers did.

Protected him from this hell.

I didn't think about them long as Conner started to stir while I was running my fingers through his severely knotted hair, I was running my fingers through them trying to softly work out the knots without waking him, just like he used to do when we were young pups and I would have nightmares.

His head was on my lap while I had moved Jordan as much as I was able to, which wasn't very far I had his head on my legs. It wasn't much but it was a comfort just to have him next to me.

To actually be able to touch him for once in moon knows how long.

How long have we been here? Now that we were outside closer to freedom I thought about this, has it been days, months or even years? How many times have we been put into drug-induced sleeps, how long do they last?

"Little wolf." Conner coughed out, once again with blood. He really got it bad here, I don't think that I want to know what has happened to him for him to be coughing up blood almost all of the time.

He looked at me as if I was a ghost. As if he didn't believe what his eyes were showing him. He reached out to touch my check but dropped his hand only to engulf me in a hug, which caused the both of us to fall backwards while waking Jordan up.

I couldn't help but laugh, it felt so nice so to be able to hug my brother, Jordan who was now coming to his senses and getting over the shock of not being locked away in a cage that he was too big for jumped on top of us and gave us a massive bear hug. Putting all of his strength into squishing us together.

Squishing us together so tightly that I thought that we could all mould together and some scary monster with a whole lot of limbs shooting out everywhere.

I couldn't help but smile and neither could my brothers, along with everyone else around us who were waking up. Even though we have no idea what is going on and why we are out here together. It just felt nice to have some real comfort.

I guess all of those old philosophers that Jordan used to go on about when we were little where right when they say that there are even good things in the worse of times.

But I do know better, this happiness will be short lived. Nothing good comes from this place.

But I went with it, I tried to be happy for everyone here, they deserve it we all do. And I am not the person who should take that away even when I know it is about to be taken away.

"What is happening?" Someone asked causing our family hug to break apart.

What as happening? I for one had no answer for these scarred wolves, or myself.

We couldn't see much out here to determine what was going on, all I could make out was a warehouse building and more cages like the one we were in. I could see another two, both filled with people.

From what I could smell, which I cant say is the best at the moment they were witches and wolves. I could smell the death coming off the vampires and the fragrant smells of flowers and freshness from the witches.

They had us all out here together but why? Honestly I am getting sick of asking the question but why all of the time. I am over it I just want answers. Clear as day answers, don't I deserve that? Don't we all deserve that?

"What do we do?" Lucas asked as he walked over to us with Bianca, everyone was starting to crowd around us praying to the moon that Jordan had answers for them all.

But he didn't have these answer, he didn't know what to do here more then what they did. How could he? He isn't in the loop of all of their plans.

How could he be in the loop? He wasn't working for them or with them.

"I don't know." He admitted looking down letting out a sigh for a brief moment before he faced the crowd, all who were scared with good reason. "The one thing that I do know is that we will find a way out, it could be easier now."

"How?" one of the older wolves asked with a slight scoff in his voice as he rolled his eyes. Arrogant ass.

"Because we are outside and able to move around, we may be able to break out of here easily." Jordan spoke in a matter of fact voice, he sounded confident, maybe a little too confident.

I had a bad feeling that these cages where made out of sliver, the wire around it looked too flimsy, too easy to break out of them.

I wanted to inspect them, see for myself but within a blink of an eye hunters moved forward, surrounding all three of the cages. Looking at us all like we were a piece of meat. Like we were easy prey for them to take out.

They eyed us up and down, some pointing and laughing at a certain wolf, witch or vampire. I could have sworn money was being handed around. All of them looked happy and were laughing and joking around with each other.

It was loud, too loud for sensitive ears that haven't been around noise like this in a very long time. I watched one meet my eyes, look me over while whispering to another next to him. He gave me a vile smile that made me sick to my stomach.

I have a bad feeling about this, this is where our happiness ends and theirs begins.

"Well we are about to have some real fun." The one who seams like the leader, who is nothing but a disgusting waste of oxygen snickered while the others behind him let our roars of laughter with a wicked glint in their eyes.

The glee and vicious looks had me very worried for what was to come.
