There is a firmness to my bed that resembles a cement mattress. I feel like knives are cutting my head open from the inside out. Hopefully there isn't any sunlight when I open my eyes. Keeping my eyes closed for a few more minutes, I continue to think. What happened to me that made me feel like I had been beaten to a pulp?
Opening my eyes cautiously, I take a look around me. The far wall has only one small window up near the ceiling. There are small silver bars covering the window. I wonder where in the world I am. Taking stock of my surroundings, I find myself in a cell with silver bars, lying on a paper-thin mattress on a cement floor. In terms of my uncomfortable sleep, this explains a lot.
I hear someone in a neighboring cell introduce themselves to me. As my ears were still ringing from my headache that was still being dissected with knives in my skull, I wasn't able to understand what she was saying. My eyes squinted at her, and I tried lip-reading so I could figure out where I was.
Despite my inability to understand a word she was saying, I could tell this girl was a chatterbox. It was as if her mouth was always moving. My attempt was to verbally say "stop". My ears just needed a moment or two to stop ringing and to focus.
With her bouncing blonde curls, large blue eyes, and a huge smile, she almost reminds me of Shirley Temple. It would be as if she were out having fun instead of being incarcerated. I held up my finger so she could see the visual as well to let me have a brief moment to think.
Groaning I ask, "Where are we?"
It was like she didn't even hear me, she continued on with her own agenda.
"My name is Bambi, I know it sounds weird for a she wolf to be named after a dear, however I really like my name. I wouldn't let them put a bag over my head like they did while kidnapping the others. They ended up putting a blind fold on me. The blind fold went under my hair and not on top of it. I couldn't have them messing up my hair and my nails. Seriously these rogues are brutes and don't care about how they look. I told them they needed a bath, a change of clothes, their hair cut and styled, and you know what they did? They put a gag in my mouth. How Rude..."
It was getting to be too much for me, and I wanted to gag her. Screaming at her, I say, "SHUT UP!". She shut up immediately after I used my Alpha voice.
Suddenly, she started up again, much to my dismay. It's rude of you to be so rude, especially after I was being nice to you. Seriously, what's the problem here?"
Again, I cut off Bambi's speech. For goodness's sake, she's on an all-ready battery.
"It is your name, Bambi, isn't it?" Bambi nods, her curls bouncing as she nods.
"It's critical to get a clear answer to my questions, without commentary. Can you do that?"
I see Bambi pause for a moment before nodding.
"First of all, do you know where we are?"
"We're in a cell," Bambi says with a nod.
We have a long day ahead of us. I sigh.
"Okay, I can see that. Do you know where our cell is located? Who took us?"
She scrunches her nose thinking, "Well, I was blindfolded so I could not see what direction they took us, but I know they kidnapped females along the way. I don't know where this particular location is.".
As I look around, I see that Bambi is in a cell with many other she wolves. It looks like some of them are out like a light, while others look scared, and they are all around my age. My fear is that these rogues are engaged in human trafficking. This was a dangerous situation for me as well as these girls. It was stupid of me to let my guard down, now look what happened.
"Do the bars contain wolfsbane?"
Once again, Bambi nods in agreement.
OK, Bambi, let's get out of here. Be quiet and don't say anything. Understand?"
Bambi nods in agreement.
Due to being a hybrid, I am less affected by wolfsbane since I am both a witch and a wolf. As I recall, rogues weren't always so smart, or at least their lackeys weren't.
Now everyone was free down here after I snapped off the lock on all the cells using my witch magic. It looks like some people have been rotting down here for a long time. The girl who was still unconscious was thrown over my shoulder as I yelled at the women to leave. There was a look of shock on their faces when I opened the cell doors. Some were still just standing there. GET OUT NOW!" I spoke.
After the women left the cells, I heard some yelling upstairs, and I made a fireball in my free hand to be ready
Now everyone was free down here. The next thing I knew was that the women were now running out of the cells. I hear some yelling upstairs and I create a fireball to be ready in my free hand.
After climbing the stairs into what looked like a living room. I see men trying to round up the female she wolves. There's no way I'm letting these assholes have them. I yelled at the women, "FIGHT!! if you want to live! Scratch, bite, kick them in their balls. Don't let them take you back to the cells!"
I noticed Bambi screeching because a rogue grabbed her by her hair. That was the trigger for Bambi to become a warrior. She grabbed his knife and cut his head off. I am so proud of her.
Making certain to miss the fighting she wolves, I throw fireballs at the rogues trying to catch these women. They immediately turn to ash with the she wolf that the rogue had been attacking jumping up and down for joy. They thought she had obliterated the rogue.
I herded the females out the front door into the open air. However, I found the lead rogue standing with more foul-smelling men in front of me. I laid the she wolf down behind me and got into a fighting stance.
"Bring it on!" I yelled.
"Girls FIGHT!" I ordered again.
As soon as the head rogue saw me, he went after me. I thought to myself, "Good luck with that.".
I threw the disgusting head rogue into a tree when he plummeted into me. Seeing how easily a she-wolf handled him, he looked shocked.
As he came back at me, he became even angrier. As I made the motion with my hand, I said, "Come on, I dare you". Seeing him grimace and smile, I threw a fireball at him, causing him to crumble into ash.
All the girls were jumping up and down and high fiving each other. They felt proud that they had taken down a bunch of rogues.
Due to my lack of familiarity with this end of the country, I had the girls look around and figure out where we were.
I used a plants vine and tied up the only rogue I let live. He would be the one that we would interrogate.
