Walking through the white bark forest, I look around for the thick brown naked bushes that hold the roots under the snow and ice. 'Malia, I found it'. 'Perfect, bring it here now!' I start to dig and rip slowly realizing the clouds are turning black once again. 'Natalie, are close to home, come home now!' 'I'm trying to get it out the ground, we need it!' the snow that fell no longer falls softly but cuts through me is bitter sharp cold gust. "Got it!" I rip the remains out of the ground and sprint back to the lines of the pack. 'Don't look back, just run! ' I hear Lia yell in my head. I'm trying. I'm in the pack lines and running up the hard mountain path I look out the distance and see it. This storm is the same storm that took away half of our pack last year.
I hear the loud sirens ringing of warning and everyone is running to shelter. "Natalie! Hurry or you won't make it!" A glassy ice spike flies in front of my half my size. I cant hold back 'Lia take over now! ' I feel my bones cracking and heat rushing as I stand tall I hear my father through the mind link 'GET TO SHELTER, PUT CHILDREN IN THE BUNKERS, BARRACADE YOUR DOORS' just as I start running again my shoulder gets cut by the glassy spikes 'I've been hit, mom!'. Malia holds the door open and just as I jump through I shift back hitting the ground. warmth
is thrown over me and I cover myself in the cozy thick wool cover.
"Thank You." I say to my mom. "Don't thank me yet, give me your arm" We rush to the kitchen where a light is turned on. "Sit down" I hear my mom sternly say. "Mom it doesn't hurt." I look at her and she gives me a death glare "Yes Ma'am." She uncovers it to see the gash is deep, "We will have to stitch this up, your wolf can't heals these just yet." I look at my mom "How is that?!" She works on my shoulder as she speaks. "Because those spikes hold something in them that prevents newly shifted wolves to not heal and without special treatment or good protection, thats how we lose people." My eyes widen "oh man.."
She pours alcohol into the wound and I grab the table as I feel the liquid course over my muscles and slightly shown bone. "Where's the pack doctor?" I look at Malia who hold a tray of utensils "He working on Luis." "Wait! What happened to Luis?!" I practically yell "He hasn't shifted yet and he got stabbed 3 times by the glass spikes" I look at my mom "This place is to danger-" I am cut off by extreme pain, my eyes water and just when I'm about to let out a blood curtailing scream, a cloth is shoved into my mouth. My eyes widen as I try to move away, a couple woman rush over and pin me down. "We are so sorry ma'am but she is sewing the muscles back together, we don't have anymore anesthetic to numb it" I'm screaming through the cloth when a nerve is hit and all I see next is black dots. Last thing I remember is a cloth being whipped over my forehead taking away the thin layer of sweat.
Just as im about to past out another wave of pain shoots through me "Natalie, I'm so sorry, im almost done!" Just as finishes her sentence the pack doctor rushes in from the underground tunnel " How is she, Luna?" "She would be better if she wasn't in pain" He looks at me as he just sees me leans against the table wishing to be numbed. My pleading eyes stear right through him as he goes through his back. "He this'll numb her and put her to sleep" He removes the cloths and the room echos with whimpers and pleads. "Open your mouth and swallow this" He places a pill in my mouth and soon enough darkness takes over.
