Rachel:

"Cam? Cameron? Open up!" I yell into the cold metal door, desperation can obviously be heard in my voice. I watch the shadow under the door frame move awaybfrom the door, probably down the steps into the basement.

I slam my fist against the door, listening to it echo around the open room. I feel a cold hand rest on my shoulder, slowly moving me away from the door.

"Come on Rachel, we will go and look around the house for a spare key," Riley politely says, turning towards the other alphas for affirmation. I nod in agreement and we walk up to the stairs leading to the second level of Cam's mansion.

We all walk up the creaking, wooden stairs and split up at the top, each person taking a seperate parth.

I just so happened to have to walk down a long, dimpy lit hallway because the other alphas ran off in the other direction, too scared to go down the hallway. I head towards each door, trying the doorknob but each one is locked, until I reach the end of the hallway, almost not bothered to try and open it thinking that it was locked like the others.

I twist the cold brass doorknob and I hear the doors hinges creak as I swing the door open. A shiver goes up my spine as I am hit by the smell of blood and deteriorated metal.

I turn back around, shutting the door to take a deep breath before heading in again. I shove my hand into my pant pocket and take out my miniature torch, I have learnt that it is handy to carry one around when you are entering a unfamiliar place to you.

I switch the torch on, testing it out before entering the dark room again. I turn back around to face the door and slwoly, tentatively twist the door open, trying not to breath in the horrendous smell wafting out of the room.

I take a deap breath of fresh air before venturing inside, making sure that I don't close the door behind me. I scan the torch light around the room to be confronted by rows upon rows of dangerous looking torture devices.

I yelp as I accidentally step on a piece of bloodied rope. I stumble backwards, only just being able to catch myself.

"What the hell...." I look back up, seeing the rest of the room. I bend down to pick my torch back up from the ground but something growls in the corner, making me freeze in my tracks. I slowly look back up, seeing a pair of golden eyes glow in the far corner. The door behind me suddenly slams shut causing me to jump and fall forawrd because I had lost my balance.

I fall face first onto the concrete floor, groaning at the throbbing pain in my nose. I lean back and sit on my knees, looking back into the corner where the wolf was standing. My heart stops at the sight of darkness, the wolf has gone away and disappeared from my sight.

My hands fumble next to me for the torch, as I find it, I quickly scan it around the room, trying to find out where the wolf had gone. Only to be disappointed by complete darkness. I quickly jump up to my feet and look for the door, as soon as I find it, I sprint for freedom.

I yank on the door handle, thrusting it open, finally able to breath in the crisp, fresh air. I switch my torch off and step out into the hallway, slamming the door shut behind me.

Cam:

"And how do you propose I kill Rachel? I mean, I can't do that! She is my friend!" I yell at the man, he still hasn't told me his name. I shake my head ferociously at him, exasperating my point of view.

"Oh no now, that would be no fun for you to just wander out of here and kill her. Oh no, you will have to get something from her first," the man sneers at me after seeing my face twist in disgust.

"Fine, what do you want from her?" I ask frustrated that he wouldn't put the dagger down or let me out of the basement.

"I want her dear little necklace she always wears because if you do then I would let you and everyone else go, well except for Rachel..."  his voice going dark at the end, putting a more serious tone to his statement.

"Why do you want her necklace? I mean, it is just some cheap necklace that her mother gave to her when she was little." Her mother had passed away when she was around 12 years old.

"Well, I'm afriad I can't tell you that but if you do fail to get it to me by the end of the week, your mother here," he pointed the dagger at my mother, "will die and so will little Rachel. So if you realpy are stupid enough to ignore this threat, ohhh, you sure will regret it."

He smirked at the end, his eyes turning serious.

"Ok, fine. Just don't hurt anyone beforehand," I snap at him, my patience finally wearing out. He smiles slightly and throws the dagger towards me.

I catch it in time before it stabbed me, my mother screaming in the background, really thinking that it was going to hit me.

The man shoves past me and up the stairs towards the door as I walk hurriedly to my mother and untie her from the chair. As soon as her hands are free, she wraps her arms around me, hugging me tightly.

"You don't have to do what he asked, please. We will send armies out to find that man and kill him." My mother sighs deeply into my shoulder.

I sigh audibly and pull back, helping my mother up and off of the chair.

"I know, but if he found out, he would kill you and everyone else I love. I have to do this and besides, I have a plan to get Rachel out of this."

I turn and head back up the stairs, my mother following along behind. I step out and into the large room beyond, feeling a sudden rush of warm, fresh air compared to the muggy underground basement.

"Rachel?! Alphas?!" I call out looking around only seeing an empty room.

"Cam!" I look up the stairs to see a grateful yet terrified Rachel. She runs down the stairs and hugges me staright away.

"We were worried, you wouldn't ipen up the door so we all split up looking for another basement key," I look over Rachel's shoulder to see all the other alphas walking down the stairs to me. Glancing at me then at my mother, a look of utter confusion on each of the alpha's faces. They have all met my mother before so they are clearly confused at seeing her.
