Rebirth for a Mission

Uproars, howling, and loud cries were heard, And even with these loud noises I could still hear my heart pounding, my vision was blurry. I couldn't see much, so I blinked the tears off my eyes, making them roll down my chin slowly. The wicked king, he's here again. The people of Black Moon could only cry and beg for the release of those whom he had captured. I wasn't the only one. King Gray had captured so many of us I could see hurt and pitiful looks on their faces. And yeah!! I had no idea if I was going to live or die. People who had been taken out of this pack by Grey previously never got to see them again, and now I'm been carried away too. My life wasn't any better from the start. I had only my grandmother as my family. She's now old and weak. I know by the time she gets the news she can only sit there and cry her eyes out. We were conveyed in a truck, then the engine was turned on, and the truck began to move. Gradually, the loud noise began to fade away, and in no time, I couldn't hear the noise anymore. King Gray lives in a big castle which his father, King Asher, had built. Asher was the first appointed king to rule over all the werewolves, outcasts, and the human realm. Each pack had its own Alpha. However, they all went to the king for advice and they wouldn't make a serious decision without consulting the king. Asher was a very wicked king. No doubt his son Grey had taken after him. Finally, the truck had stopped moving. I heard the deadly voice, that one person I hate with everything in me. "Bring them down and lock them in the cage, "King Gray said. Why does he derive pleasure from seeing us anguish in pain? He hates the people of black moon so much even after killing Alpha Logan, the Alpha of black moon. We were all locked in one cage. He walked down to the cage to make sure it was tightly locked. I couldn't watch him treat us this way and just walk away. Possibly, I might never be able to fight him but I had to tell him to his face how wicked he was. "What do you want from us, you coward!! You are supposed to protect the whole pack including black moon, not use us as slaves" I said in pain expecting nothing less than a huge punishment, but the next thing I heard took me by surprise. Everything in me went numb, my heart sank, and my lungs felt like they were compressed. Quickly I was losing oxygen my mouth went open but no words came out. I saw him raging in anger, almost fighting with his wolf, which had already begun to show "Get her out and burn her to death" he said, and I looked round. His clique of army had swung into action immediately taking his order. I felt hot blood rushing through my veins and my heart clenched. Some were already making fire and another had brought me out tying ropes on my hands and legs. Is anybody going to save me? I don't want to die just like that. As much as I had that urge to plead for mercy, it was pointless because he never went back on his words. In no time they had thrown me into the burning flame. I began to scream in pain. Nothing hurts more than the fact I couldn't move my body in the burning fire. I knew I was screaming but I couldn't hear my voice. I gasped for breath and burned until there was no more life in me. ……. Suddenly I woke up to an indescribable pain that tore through my body. The pain could be likened to countless sharp needles pricking my skin. I was shocked. Possibly, I was not dead after all? But the room was dark I could barely see anything. And the last thing I remember I was in a flame of fire screaming and trying to save my life. I sneezed aloud and I managed to sit up on the bed but then I quickly realized my body was numb. Some people must have heard me sneeze. The door swung open and three young men came into the room, the light was not bad after all. Now I could see clearly as they switched on the lights but the surprised look on their faces was alarming. They were scared of coming close. But I needed answers to my question "Where in goddess name am I? I asked. They all turned to each other "She's alive!!" Scarlett is alive! one of them shouted. And a woman came from outside walking towards me looking shocked but still happy. I felt her warm hand on my chin. "Scarlet,t t.. you ca..m. me back to me. she said in a shaky yet gentle voice, I'm not Scarlett, I replied to her. Don't be like that honey. Don't worry you will be fine I assure you. Argh!! What is going on here? Why won't she believe I'm not Scarlett? "I couldn't fathom what was happening around me. I looked at myself shockingly. I'm now smaller in size, I needed a mirror to take a look but couldn't get hold of one. Everything about me has changed, and I'm also called Scarlett. I knew for sure King Gray burnt me to death nobody came to my rescue.. "We need to leave now," the woman said, interrupting me in my many thoughts. And we left the ancient-looking room We got to a house where the chairs are made of wood and the sitting room was neatly decorated with black. Apparently, it was a black house, and the walls and floor were also black I presume this was her house. "Come, I will take you to your room to rest," she said… and I followed her. Soon, the bright light shining directly on my face woke me up as I stretched and opened my eyes. I felt so comfortable. I've never been this comfortable. I slept like a baby. Suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door and the door opened. I still don't know who this woman is and why she is stalking me. This time she's here with a man I guess he's her mate I could see the happiness on their face "Scarlett darling hope you had a good night's rest" I didn't want to tell them I felt comfortable in their house. "Who are you?" I asked, ignoring their question. "We are your parents, Scarlett, don't you remember anything? They said, My mouth gaped open and my breath hitched. I swallowed the lump in my throat. I had to pinch myself making sure I wasn't dreaming, the whole thing was too much for me to comprehend. This could only mean one thing " I've been re-born into the body of Scarlett…
