**I whimpered at the sound of footsteps.
"They're coming!" my wolf whispered to me. We backed up as far as we could go in our cell, but it was no use. They unlocked the door, the person's nose wrinkling at the smell of death and decay. I tried to make no noise or movement. My father was only punishing me this one time. I did something no pup ever should done. I disrespected my father and mother, and that means punishment. Let me backup, I am a wolf shifter, meaning that I can shift into a wolf without any problems. We wolf shifters are very rare but also unknown. We hide our true selves because we are different then werewolves, we pretend we have no wolf bonded with us like humans living werewolves with werewolf genes. Now what makes a wolf shifter so different that we have to hide, well it's because we have powers and are more advanced than any species on the earth; that's what the other shifters like me told me. Needless to say we are different from werewolves. Werewolves have to shift without clothes on or else they would rip there clothes. They're shift is quite painful, and it takes about a minute. Us shifters can shift with clothes on and be perfectly fine, shifting is not painful for us but natural, it takes a blink of an eye to shift. We shifters also come with powers. Our senses are way more advanced than any species combined. Werewolves do have better hearing, sense of smell, eyesight, and strength then normal humans but that's it. They also don't feel connected as we do to each other and have to form bonds on their own. Us shifters instantly have bonds with every other shifter out there. I should back up a bit more. Werewolves and shifters alike were all created from the Moon Goddess. She created every creature upon this earth with her sister. *The Moon Goddess was a very nice woman who had men throwing themselves after her trying to make her fall in love. She didn't love any of them and was tired of being lonely. Then she noticed one star, he was beautiful with golden yellow hair that glows brightly and striking green eyes with steaks of gold in them. His hair slight flopped into his eyes. His glowing pale skin surprised me as he had all the features of a sun star. Getting over her initial shock she notices that he has a bemused expression on his face. He had noticed her predicament and thought it was funny. She quickly walked rushed over to him her hair flying behind her. He makes a deal with her that if he helps her sneak away then she shall show him her home. She found it odd but she had already fallen in love with him to notice much. Once reaching her home she invites him to have dinner as a thank you. During dinner she noticed that he payed most of his attention to her sister. When she drops a fork underneath the table and goes to get it she finds something that breaks her heart. The star and her sister were holding hands underneath the table. She quickly excuses herself and races upstairs, her vibrant blue dress flying along the way. The Moon Goddess was heartbroken that the one she finds she loves was with her sister. A few months pass yet her sister never told her that she was dating. One day the lonely Moon Goddess couldn't take it anymore, her sister has come up with many reasons as to why the star was always here, but never the truth. Racing upstairs distressed with her sisters lies she slams the door shut and lays on her bed crying. The Sun Goddess, confused by her sisters actions, told the star to stay were he was as she went to go comfort her. Knocking on the door of her sisters room the beautiful Sun Goddess entered the room stepping lightly and holding her breath. All carefulness gone when she hears the Moon Goddess crying. Asking what was wrong the Moon Goddess told her.
"I can't believe you have lied to us for months" she hiccups as a new wave of tears comes. The Sun Goddess was a alarmed and confused. Calming down enough to speak again she continues.
"I have waited for months, hoping that you would tell us every single day." tears come harder than before as she buries her head in her hands.
"YOU NEVER DID!!" she yells into her hands repeating herself over and over again. Her pale blue skin growing dull at her sadness and her pale blue locks fall down over her face reaching the bed.
"What do you mean sister?" she askes softly hoping not to start another outburst from her. It failed and now the Moon Goddess was even more mad.
"YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!" she shrills " YOU'VE BEEN DATING THE STAR DOWNSTAIRS AND NOW YOUR ENGAGED!!!" She was hysterical now backing away from her once beloved but now traitress sister. The Sun Goddess not knowing what to do looked down in shame. She thought they had hid it well and tried to remember were they had slipped up. Her own golden glow fading at the thought of what she truly had done ways on her. Out of anger and despair the Moon Goddess Teleported away onto a land she called earth. She started bringing magical creatures to life making them a mate they would be able to recognize at the age of 18.* a slap across my face brought me back to reality and the man who came to get me smiled dangerously at me.
"Your father wants you to learn never to disobey again. So I have permission to teach you the lessons." He yanked on my arm pulling me up and making me whimper.
"Oh little one, please whimper one more time, it is music to my ears." I didn't want to but I did at the sound of his blood lust voice. He brought me to a room and chained me onto the wall. Taking a knife lined with silver he walked over to me. I whimpered and whined at him struggling with the chains. When the didn't work I started calling for my papa and mama. He chuckles again as he comes closer.
"Stupid wolf, haven't I told you already? Your parents won't help you know, you are mine to torture and torture I will. You will never see the light of day" and he cuts into my arm cause a blood curdling scream to erupt from my mouth. The torture had begun.** I bolted awake, my eyes wild as I looked around my cell. My wolf on high alert I jump out of bed. *It was just a dream, just a dream* I chanted to me and my wolf. It's been 3 years since that actually happened and I'm still in this cell. I have many beating a day from every pack member possible. Some go as far as almost killing me only to stop at the last second and let me live. They all say that I should be happy they let me live and that they are all showing me mercy. Your dead wrong, I would rather be dead. You guys might now think I'm crazy and that they must have already hit my limit, you guys have no idea. Everybody in the pack know I would rather die, and that is why they torture me till I'm almost dead and then stop. They come up with new ways to torture me, making me scream over and over again. I'm eight years old and have had nightmares about this every. single. night. I see some of the male wolves come over to my cell and smile at their bloody and disgusting thoughts. They only think about the blood and gore they invoke on me. I keep my face blank as they make they're way over.
"Hello little toy" the one on the left says. He's big with a scar running down the left side of his face. His eyes are deep in their sockets and teeth missing from his mouth. He was more on the bald side with his claws permanently out. He doesn't have a mate anymore and so he is one of my main torturer's. Shuddering I watch as they advance on me. The second one is nicer looking with deep cut angles and muscles. His eyes are a bright red from all the blood he drinks. His hair is brown and neat. I growl at them and they growl back.
"Still haven't learned you're lessen yet toy?" he sneers at me all to eager to see me cry out in pain. The other one rolls his eyes and yanks on my hair. I fight them all the way there, yet I knew I was going to get a worse beating. they chain me to a table and and take out their tools. Torturing me in any possible way the pour silver all over my body wo wash away the blood. I scream at this and they grin drinking up my blood and screams. The bald guy stops as his eyes glaze over and we both quickly stop and look at him. His face contorts into a glare and then a horrified look. His eyes losing their glazed look look at me with a horrified expression. You couldn't tell that I was alive with all the blood and silver on me. All the gashes that they just recently put on make my body look like feeding time for animals. He looks to neato on the other side of me and uses the mind link to talk. They both back away quickly and stare at the door. I was freaked out now. Something has got them in a tizzy and I was a part of it. I start straining against my chains while they try to shut me up. They look at me and decide to race out of the room scared at whatever is to come.
"Hey! Where are you guys going!?!" my voice was hoarse and they looked even more terrified when I spoke. Closing the door having it lock on the inside I hear them run away. I stare at the door for hours waiting for the torture to start again, it didn't and I slowly drifted of to sleep.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have drifted in and out of sleep the silver never leaving my body and infecting all my wounds.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pain, pain, and more pain that's all I ever felt nowadays. Not that I can tell if a day has gone by or and hour. Something sharp falls onto me slicing through skin. I can't move to take it out and it won't fall out on it's own. I have a silver knife inside of me with no way to get out. I groaned and fell back asleep.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up again feeling hungry and knowing that this would have been dinner time upstairs. I knew I wouldn't get any but I decided to keep track of my hunger. I note that a day has passed and although It's not much I use my liquid blood to make a mark for the day. I drift back to sleep.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think It's been a year now; my blood never running out because of the silver. I notice that my birthday was coming up soon again. Soon I would be 10. I'm lonely these days as I have no company except for my wolf. I wonder if they even remember me. If they think I am dead. I wonder what they are doing right now and why they left like they did afraid of me when they were the torturers. Sleep I tell my mind and it obeys.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I blink my eyes lazily noting that it is my birthday today. I don't feel older and I don't really care. I have lost feeling now. I wonder if this is the ultimate plan. Have me suffer this alone as I slowly die. Ha, I don't talk, I don't move, I don't feel, and I don't care. I don't care about anything anymore. If I had a mate then I shall reject them If I'm not already dead by then. I'm never getting out of this place and I think it's time to accept that. Nodding of my mind link grows weaker and weaker. All the other shifters like me can tell that I shall be dying soon but they can't help, they don't know where I am. Sleep overtakes me as nightmares plaque my dreams.
