Eden Chambers ---------------------------------------}

(Eden POV)

I know Piedro is hurting me just to make Xavier feel the pain, it hurts me more and he knows it.  We were in a clearing near town in Kentucky; some of the wolves went into town to grab some clothes and a recent newspaper.  Because Piedro forced us to stay in our wolf form almost every day for the last three months, we would be out of the loop on news.  I was in a master bedroom of an abandon farm house, with two wolves keeping guard; Piedro doesn’t want me to ‘hurt myself’.  I sighed as I lay on the remains of was a king sized bed, it felt better than the ground we were always on, when we were in our wolves.  My long brown mane of hair was in knots and my skin was all grimy.   I was wearing a grey singlet and shorts that another female wolf stolen from another house several miles away.  With Xavier gone from my side, all my strength was going, and soon I wouldn’t be able to move, but that’s what Piedro wants to happen to me.  One of the guards would open the every now and then, to check on me and I would force a smile and look at him, he would then nod and shut the door, and I would drop the smile.  I looked over at the window, I decided to get off the bed and look outside.  I saw Keith and Rick going at it again, in the front yard.  They’re always fighting; I knew that Keith was one of the few wolves that refused to follow Piedro’s rule, but Piedro had to use his new Alpha command to force them to follow.  Mason, Keith’s little brother, was standing in the inner ring of the circle that surrounded them, right next to Piedro.  Mason had the same dirty blond hair and blue eyes as Keith, but was slightly taller and slightly more build then Keith.  Keith, was the lanky brother, and was one of the faster wolves.  I shut out every one out but Mason.

What are they fighting about now?

They’re fighting about something about not letting Keith go start patrolling the area with a couple of the wolves. I sighed and shook my head at them and I noticed Piedro staring at me with his cold blue eyes.  I just stared at him, and then I started to feel very lightheaded.  I turned away from him and started for the bed when I tripped over my own feet and was about to fall but was caught by Piedro, who must have seen me wince in the pain I was in, so he ran up here.  I glared and tried to force him away from me, but in my weakened state, I couldn’t.  He sighed and carried me to the bed.

“Why do you think I told you to stay in bed?” He said with anger in his voice.

“I heard commotion and wanted to see.” I glared at him, He was the reason I was like this.  He was shaking his head, his blond hair going everywhere.  He was mad at me for no reason.  I just sat there on the bed as he went to the window, he looked out and smirked.  I was confused, and then I realized that Rick must have sent him a message.  The next couple of seconds were silent until there was a knock on the door, which must be Rick; Rick was the Beta and the one of the wolves that was with Piedro when Xavier and Ted brought them, when they were hunting.  He was a really build guy, who was bald, but very intimidating.   Keith was the only wolf from the Howlett pack that would stand up to him. But it was Keith; he walked right up to Piedro.

“You wanted me….sir” He asked with venom in his words, but Piedro ignored the comment and said

“I want you to go hunting with George, find something that Eden could eat; I’ll have someone cook it for her.”

It surprised me more than it surprised Keith, who looked at me.  I gave him a small smile, he nodded at Piedro and left.  It was three minutes later that Rick came in, apparently angry.

“Why did you send the Gagner kid?”

“I have my reasons, Rick, he’s with George anyway.” Rick was so pissed off that it made me smile to myself, he turned around and punched the wall, putting a hull in the wall.  He turned around and stalked up to Piedro.
