The dragon within

                    ~Joslin~

   I watch as my father's head rolls towards me in horror and I can't help but let out a blood curling scream. "Daaaadddy!" I'm trying to get through my restraints but since Malya still hasn't surfaced I'm weak.  

   Gage and Stephen are laughing at my pitiful attempts to try to get to my father. "Stephen I thought for sure she'd be trying to get to him more than that! Oh well guess the old man didn't mean as much as we thought." He said mockingly. That's when I started to feel a tingly feeling all over my body and then it started to burn. I seen their eyes grow wide and I was wondering what was going on but I couldn't think much due to the pain radiating throughout my body.  It was so painful I felt like I was being ripped apart. I let out another horrific scream as I felt my bones start to break.  "Malya what's happening to us!?!" I groan inwardly. 

   "I'm coming to help just hold strong Joslin we'll make them pay!" She says. Oh this is my first shift...         "Isn't it too early?" I asked a little worried. 

   "For most yes" she says trying to comfort me "but you are not most. We are strong you heard father." And that's all she needed to say. I began concentrating on helping her come forward.  She's beautiful but doesn't resemble me much at all except for our green eyes. She's midnight black almost blue because my fur is so dark. I finally finished shifting and when I did the sight was once again gore filled. It looked like another fight started back up and I'm planning on joining in on this one. 

   Wolves were fighting all over when Samuel West my dad's beta jumps out of the trees in a defensive stance. He looks shocked and I'm sure he is seeing as how this is my first shift but he shakes it off and we join the fight together. Me and Malya really don't know what to do seeing as how we've never been trained but when we see some rogue cornering the children we know that is where we go first.  There are 3 of them and I'm thinking they are siblings cause they look quite similar. The two youngest girls are crying and the brother while he is trying to defend them his wolf hasn't came forward yet so there's not much he can do. 

   The wolf trying to attack them is a charcoal gray with gold eyes and a scratch across his right eye... I'm pretty sure this is Stephen so I'm going to enjoy this. As he's in mid air I'm running full force and collide with him knocking him to the ground. He's slowly picking himself up off the ground and begins to growl. I put my ears back and start to circle him waiting for the opportunity to strike. As we are circling one another I guess I get distracted because I didn't even realize that Gage was standing in the tree above me till he was on top of me with his mouth wrapped around my neck. I look back and thank the Goddess those kids are gone. He starts to add pressure to my neck and I'm forced to submit and change back. 

   "You are a lot of trouble for such a little thing you know that!?!" Says Gage with amusement in his voice but there was a darkness in his soul that you could see seeping through his eyes. "That's ok it'll only make it that much sweeter when I break you" his eyes are now roaming over my naked body hungrily taking in my appearance. He smiles and grabs me up by my arm pulling me towards the town square stumbling all the way.

   In the middle of the square Gage commands one of my pack members to start digging a hole. Instead of answering him right away they look to me; concern on their face. I'm still out of breath but I manage a nod to let them know it's ok and I'm assuming Gage didn't like that because I felt a burning place on my cheek from where he hit me. After the hole was dug he had two more guys to place a post in the hole then poor in cement so it wouldn't move. They then tied me to the post with some silver chains, naked for 3 days. If that wasn't enough they put my father and Samuels corpse in front of me so I could see the "consequences of my actions" as they said. 

   It was the month of August so I wasn't cold but 3 days of no protection from the sun and no food or water trust me I was pretty exhausted. When the third day came around I was at a state of half consciousness. I heard them messing with the chains and I heard someone talking although I couldn't make out what was being said. I then felt a sharp pain in my left arm as someone was jerking the chains upward and I heard a sickening pop as they dislocated my shoulder. I didn't scream which I'm pretty sure they were looking for because it was too much energy. I just let out a small groan. I can't see much but I can feel my body being drug away from the square and the stench of decay from my father and Samuel's body when I finally come to I wasn't sure it could get much worse but oh was I wrong. 

   I woke up in a cell with Gage over top of me while I was still naked. He then tried to kiss me and when I turned my head he smacked me in the face again. He put his head in the crook of my neck and I felt his hot sour breathe on my neck he started to thrust his c**k inside of me. I tried to fight him the best that I could but I was still so weak. I began to cry but I refused to scream I didn't want to scare my people anymore than what they already were. It only lasted a couple of minutes until he was finished but it felt like eternity. When he finally got off me I curled up on the bed and faced the wall. "Oh my sweet you will learn to enjoy this.  You will never see the outside of these walls but I assure you with time you will be content. However if you don't listen I'm sure Stephen would love to help me persuade you."  Gage left with those words running through my mind. I swear to the moon Goddess I will get out of here. I'm not sure when or how but Gage will pay for everything he's done and it will be by my hand.
