A groan escaped my mouth as I woke up. My shoulder was numb but at the same time it felt like it was killing me. I then remembered that I had gotten shot.
I bolted up and immediately regretted it, slowly laying back down. It was then that I realized that I was on a bed. It wasn't the comfiest bed out there but after sleeping on the forest floor and concrete for the last couple of weeks it felt like heaven to me.
It was a queen sized bed. There wasn't any kind of bed frame of head board, it was just the mattress. There was a warm looking white blanket at the foot of the bed and I reached for it with my right hand, using it to get more comfortable. I began to look around the room then.
The walls were painted a dark blue, and all the furniture had a simple oak tone to it. There was a nightstand in one side of the bed and the dresser on the other. There was a desk with nothing sitting on top of it opposite of the bed, next to one of the two doors in the room. The other was perpendicular to the bed, to the right of me right now.
I finally remembered where I was and I was out of the bed in lightening speed, ignoring my throbbing shoulder as I rushed for the door next to the bed and attempted to open it. It was locked. I cursed and ran to the other door, the pain in my shoulder seeming to disappear as excitement flooded through my body at the thought of actual escape.
The other door opened but it lead to a bathroom, and there another door directly opposite mine. I looked around the bathroom and my room and the closest thing I could find to a weapon was the white blanket on my bed.
I cautiously approached the door, hoping to God that maybe it was just an empty room. I was going weaponless but if this was an escape, I honestly didn't give two flying shits about not having a weapon.
I slowly turned the door knob with my right hand to open the door, and threw a hand over my mouth to stop myself from screaming. There was a girl with bright brown eyes and long, dark, tangly hair holding a lamp out in front of her.
We both let out a sigh of relief at the same time, but she kept her lamp up for precaution. "Who are you?" She asked. Her voice had a slight British accent to it.
"I'm Paisley Whitefield, daughter of the alpha of the Stone Creek pack. Who are you?" I asked, staying in the door of the bathroom.
"Anastasia Waters. Daughter of Matthew and Aurora Waters," she said. My eyes widened as the name processed inside my head.
"They had the guts to kidnap a princess?" I whispered. She nodded. "How old are you? And when did they take you?"
"I'm nineteen, and they took me when I was thirteen," she said quietly.
"Oh my gosh. That's awful," I said quietly, rushing over and pulling her into a hug as I saw tears well in her eyes.
"They've done so many things," she whispered, and she completely broke down into tears. I made my way over to her bed with her, setting the lamp on the nightstand and starting to soothingly rubbing her back, trying to get her to calm down.
"They beat me, they give me serums that make me see terrible things, and they... they.." She couldn't seem to get out the last part, but I had a pretty good guess on what it was. "They rape me." She said it so quietly that I barely heard her, but it was I had assumed it had been.
"Ana I am so sorry," I whispered, pulling her in for a tight hug. "We'll find a way to get out of here. I promise."
I didn't know if I would be able to keep that promise but I would do my damnedest to try. These men raped her, and that's worse then any beating that any of the other daughters could have gotten.
"I'm gonna go back to my room now, okay. Pretend that we don't know each other. Act like you have no idea that I'm in the other room, okay. At least until I have plan," I told Ana softly. She nodded, lifting her head off of my shoulder and wiping away the tears. I pulled the blankets over her before passing though the bathroom to get to my bedroom. I made myself comfy in the bed and closed my eyes, hoping that a plan would form in my mind as I slept.

I was in a clearing.
But it wasn't like the beautiful clearing that I found when I was eleven.
This clearing seemed to have a dark aura around it. Maybe it was the fact that the floor was blank of any grass or flowers, or that the trees all seemed to be black and leafless, or the little pond wasn't sparkling with blue but with an icy black.
"Paisley help me!" Someone cried. I whipped my head around at the familiar voice but no one was there. "Paisley!" I whipped my head to the opposite side but there was still no sight of my blonde haired sister.
"Paisley! Please help me!" Another voice cried. The voice belonged to Lindley, but she was no where to be seen.
"Paisley!" I let out a sob at the sound of my mates voice.
The clearing began to fill up with the voices of the people that I loved, begging me to help them. I ran into the woods, following some of the voices. I found no one.
Screams continued to echo between the trees as I tried to find the voices, but it seemed like they were coming out of nowhere.
I let out a scream of my own and dropped to the ground, throwing my hands over my ears. I could still hear everyone screaming my name and begging for help, but it lessened the sounds to a point where I didn't feel like I was going crazy.
I let out a sob, and then another one, and seconds later I was balling. Everyone that I loved and cared about needed my help and I was completely useless. I didn't know what I could do to help them until I found them, and that was proving to be next to impossible.
In my blurry vision because of the tears, I think I saw a black figure walking toward me. I pulled my hands away from my ears and wiped away the tears to get a better look, and stood up when I realized that someone was in fact walking towards me.
I scrambled up and wiped away more tears, glaring at the strange figure approaching me. "Who are you?" I called out, slowly backing away as the figure got closer and closer to me.
There was no reply. The screams around me were becoming more and more desperate but i tried to ignore it. Not because I didn't want to save them, but because I couldn't find a way to save them and the screams would drive me insane.
"Who the hell are you!" I called out again, suddenly stopping. Backing away from whoever this person was showing fear, and I couldn't show fear right now. I had to be strong.
As I stood my ground and carefully watched the figure get closer to me, I realized that it wasn't a human. It was all black and looked like it was made of smoke. I followed my eyes and told myself to not be scared. I had no idea what I was facing but maybe it would get me to my family. I told myself to breath, and then opened my eyes.
The figure was right in front of me. "What are you going to do Paisley?" The voice was low and gruff, obviously belonging to a man.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Don't you want to help you family. They need you, can't you hear them?" I tried to land a punch to his gut but my fist went right through. He let a creepy, mangled laugh before throwing his fast across my face. The impact hurt more then expected, and I was almost thrown to the ground.
I turned around and ran. I could here his laughter following me, and the screams only seemed to get louder and louder and louder. I wanted to stay and fight whoever this guy was but I didn't know how. I couldn't injure him at all but he was stronger then anyone I'd ever met.
I turned around to see how close he was to me, which was a big mistake. I slammed my left shoulder into a tree and let out something between a cry and a scream as I clasped.
I bolted up, gasping for breath as I touched my shoulder, which felt like a thousand hot needles were piercing it. I think I had rolled onto it, putting all of my weight on it which is not okay when you just got shot.
I began to take deep breaths, trying to calm my racing heart and make sense of the dream I just had. That, in no way, was a normal dream.
I sat there for a while, my heart pounding in my chest and my mind whirring with all different kinds of possibilities. In the end, nothing came to mind, and I ended up falling back asleep.
Here's the update!! Hope you all enjoyed it!!!!!
