Elian Melvin was about to be slaughtered. I swallowed hard the saliva that had gathered in my mouth. Was this going to be my first death experience? I had never witnessed such torture before. All my life, throughout the battles that we have embarked on, I had never slaughtered any one like a dog. My instincts will always haunt me. But then, I was certain that members of the Dark Wood pack thought otherwise. To them, I was the fierce and arrogant Elian Easton. It was only Lyanna that knew truly who I was. The thoughts of her began to drip in my mind. I wondered how I would feel if it was Lyanna. I missed her so greatly that a sharp pain cut through my chest when I recalled that she was now history to me. I had never imagined it. But then, it became my reality.
