"Wake up!"

I jerked awake, looking up at a stained white tile ceiling as my heart raced in my chest.

"Yes, my love, she's awake now." Said the voice that had yelled, awakening me. I made to rub my eyes and hissed in pain. My wrist was chained to a metal bar bolted into the wall above the bed I was laying on. My skin burned and sizzled as the metal touched it.

Silver.

Silver, I had found out, was one of the myths about werewolves that was true. It burned my skin as I slowly sat up, gazing around the bright, all white room. Derrick sat in an uncomfortable looking chair in the corner of the room. It was the only other piece of furniture in the room besides the bed I was on.

"Morning sleepy head." Said Derrick, smiling as he snapped closed a gray flip phone. I bared my teeth at him with a growl and waited for Nat to take over. I paused, confused, when nothing happened. I couldn't even hear her.

"Having trouble shifting?" Derrick asked innocently, getting up out of the chair and walking towards me. I backed as far away from him as I could as he crouched down, and grabbed my chin with a smirk on his face. I snapped at him and bit down.

"Ahh!" He jumped back, holding a bleeding finger.

"Bitch!" He yelled. I gasped as he smacked me across the face, hard. I put my hand to my face and the skin on my wrist burned again.

"Well I was going to wait to begin, but since you're feeling spunky..." he advanced on me and I glared at him, holding my stinging cheek in my hand.

"Begin wha-"

I grunted in pain when his fist collided with my stomach, knocking the wind out of me. He stood back with a smile and watched as I wrapped my free arm around my aching abdomen, struggling to breath.

He came at me again and wrapped his hand around my throat, slamming my head into the concrete wall behind me. Stars burst across my vision at the impact and I choked as his hand tightened, cutting off my air. My heart pounded and I clawed at his hand frantically, the chain sizzled on my skin as I strained against it.

I tried to pull air into my lungs, and my vision started to turn black around the edges. Adrenaline was pumping through my veins uselessly and Derrick just stared into my eyes as my attempts became weaker.

Just as I felt my consciousness slipping away he let me go with a shove. I wheezed and put my hand to my throat as tears stung my eyes.

"You're going to make this difficult aren't you?" He said with his back to me, I looked up at him from where I was crouched on the bed.

"Make what difficult?" I choked out.

He turned inhumanly fast and I felt his fist connect with my cheekbone. Crying out, I heard the bone crack as blood flew from my lips and everything went dark.

- - - - -

I awoke some time later, staring at the white wall my arm was chained to. Small dark droplets of dried blood stained the white sheets around my face. I let out a small sob as I curled in on myself, clutching my aching stomach.

"Oh good, you're up." Derrick's voice said behind me. I froze before slowly turning my head. He was standing above me with a styrofoam plate.

"Eat." He ordered throwing the plate down next to me. On it was 2 pieces of white bread with a single piece of moldy cheese between them. I turned away and stared back at the wall, rubbing the tears off of my face. I heard him sigh and his hand grabbed the collar of my shirt, jerking me up to sitting. He threw my back against the wall and pointed at me, his finger inches away from my face.

"Eat." He repeated. I reached out with a shaky hand and picked up the sandwich. Taking a bite, I looked away from him, trying not to show him just how scared I was.

"Good girl." He said, I flinched when he patted me on the head like a dog.

"Ok so..." he stood back up, clapping his hands and rubbing them together. "The room's enchanted, so no shifting. That's why you can't hear your wolf." I gulped, "You eat when I say you eat, you sleep when I say you sleep. You go to the bathroom when I say you can go to the bathroom." He kicked a bucket by the side of the bed to show me where it was, it was surrounded by a flimsy excuse of a short wall made out of taped together trash bags, barely enough for privacy. I stopped chewing and stared at him.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked with a rough voice, the words felt like sandpaper coming out of my sore throat.

"You're not eating." He sang with a smirk. I glared at him and took another bite. He crouched down until he was level with me and stared into my eyes, looking from one eye to the other with his remaining eye. It almost felt like he was looking for something in them. I looked away and swallowed the last of the disgusting sandwich.

"We'll know when we know." He said, standing up and heading towards the door. I laid back down and brought my knees to my chest.

"Ah ah, what did I say? You sleep when I say you sleep." He pressed a button on a stereo next to the door and heavy metal music began blaring out of it at a deafening level. I clapped my hands over my ears as he said something I couldn't hear and waved before walking out the door.

- - - - - - -

Hours. The music played for hours, every time the song ended there would be three seconds of silence before the next one began. I couldn't block it out. I had no pillow, the sheets were so thin that they looked like they would disintegrate if water got on them.

I was sitting on the bed facing the wall to keep the chain off of my wrist as much as possible. I had tried shoving the sheet under it to break the contact but it was so thin it did nothing. I had my knees pulled up and arm wrapped around them, burying my head into it for any relief I could get as I rocked back and forth.

Then there was silence. My ears rang almost painfully as I looked up at the door. Derrick stood there, looking well rested with a smile on his face. He had something in his hand but I couldn't tell what. I averted my eyes to the wall across the room as he walked over to me with long strides and I tried to stay still, to not flinch, to not show him fear.

My head whipped to the side as he slapped me again.

"Look at me."

I dragged my tired eyes up to his smiling face. He held up what he was in his hand to show me what it was and I shrank back against the wall. It was a heavy duty electric dog collar. I let out a pained cry when he grabbed my hair and dragged me forward. He used my hair to pull my head back and deftly secured the collar tightly around my neck, nearly choking me, and locking it into place with a padlock.

"Fuck you." I snarled. I couldn't help the tears that began to fall down my face as I backed away from him, desperately tugged at the leather. He pulled a remote out of his pocket and I looked up at him with wide fearful eyes.

"Please don-"

Burning pain shot through my neck as he pressed the button, I felt my muscles seize as the current ran through me. My entire body was white hot and excruciatingly painful as I was frozen in place, trying to breath as my muscles twitched uncontrollably. He let go of the button and I sobbed, going limp on the mattress.

"Go piss." He ordered. I weakly shook my head as a tear rolled out of the corner of my eye.

"Now. Or I shock you again." I clenched my jaw and pulled myself to the edge of the bed, I looked at him and he rolled his eyes, turning his back to me. I quickly pulled down my jeans, struggling with only one useable hand, and went to the bathroom. I sat back down on the bed when I was done and stared at the floor, too exhausted to do anything else. Without a word Derrick turned around and walked out the door. I heard it lock behind him and collapsed onto the bed, sobs racking my body. I clawed at the collar to no avail. Soon my nails became bloody as I tore at the skin on my throat. My eyes fluttered closed and I fell into a deep exhausted sleep.

- - - - -

"Wake up princess."

I jolted awake, clambering toward the farthest side of the bed. Of course, there was Derrick, smiling at me. Now he held a bucket in his hand. My eyes flickered to the one I used for the bathroom, it was still there.

"God, you look like shit." He said. I didn't care. I had no idea how long I'd been here, my entire body hurt. I was so exhausted. My eyes were puffy from crying and my hair was hanging around my face in dark dirty locks.

"Here, lemme give you a shower." He said, I tried to scramble away but couldn't get far. Derrick emptied the entire full bucket of ice cold water on top of me and I gasped, squeezing my eyes shut and wrapping my arms around myself, already shivering. He smirked again and left the room. The door locked and I heard the air conditioning turn on in the room. I groaned and huddled closer to the wall as the cold air began to caress my soaked skin, sending goosebumps up my arms and legs.

I curled into a ball and tried to stop the chattering of my teeth. I was almost asleep when the collar beeped and another current of electricity ran through my body. I screamed in desperation once it stopped and cried into the soaking wet mattress.

Then the music started again.
