Waking, I felt dazed. Where was I? The feeling of hard, wet, cold concrete on my face, the sound of dripping water. My head buzzed with what felt like a million electric currents ripping through my brain. Groaning, I tried to move, but barely managed to roll on my back. I hadn't felt this weak since...well, I was human. I could hear others moaning and groaning around me, the smell of death lingering in the air. The thick aroma of that smell, coupled with whatever foreign thing that pulsed through me, had my stomach doing flips. Groaning again, I forced my eyes to open, but even the faint amount of light in this very dim room hurt them. I blinked roughly, rubbing my eyes. I could sense my wolf and demon on edge, but they too seemed weakened by whatever had happened. Why can't I remember?..
