Hi everyone! I know, it's been months and I wouldn't be surprised if you all moved on. The hiatus I took was definitely not planned. Unfortunately I had some health stuff to deal with. I had serious migraines and was reacting to light so writing wasn't really as easy :p

So I apologise, I really do! I am so sorry and hope you all will still support me :) hope you are all well!

Also Ramadan Kareem to all my fellow Muslim readers!

One last thing, let me know if any of you are ARMY :)

Anyway, hope you Enjoy!

The smell of old rust filled my lungs and immediately shook me into consciousness. I could taste slight metal at the back of my throat. I opened my eyes to find myself tied to a chair with a gag on my mouth. This was not good.

But it didn't make any sense either. It was too early for the sacrifice. I forced myself to focus on the task at hand which was escaping wherever the hell I was.

I was about to start pulling on my restraints when I heard a whine to the right of me. It seemed I was not alone and sounded like a female. It sounded familiar, the more and more I heard it….

Allison.

She was stuck here with me too. I tried my best to make a sound to let her know she was not alone. By the silence of her whining I figured she knew I was here. I could hear her beginning to fidget with the restrains as well.

It was then that I had recalled yet another memory.

"But Dad I don't want too! I rather go to the movies with Scott and Stiles," I whined hoping he would give in.

"I told you if you work hard, you'll make the movies," he said honestly. We were walking through the forest and I had no idea why. We entered an abandoned house and by the smell of old dry wood, it has been unoccupied for quite some time.

"What are we doing here?" I asked him confused.

"We're here to teach you something. Take a seat," he said referring to the chair in the middle of the room. I hesitated for a moment but then slowly sat down.

"What are you planning to teach me?" I asked.

"I'm here to teach you to focus," he said seriously, "In any situation-,"

"It's important to be vigilant," I said mocking him but being careful to not let my tone be too rude. He raised his eyebrow slightly.

"It is, just remember, you're of Lovac blood so you have extra strength," I nodded mindlessly just wanting this lecture to be over but before I knew it I was being tied to the chair and there were people dragging my father out.

I was about to start screaming for my father when a gag was placed on my mouth. Instinctively I still began to scream as loud as I could even though it was useless. Just my muffled whines coming through. They took my father, what were they going to do? What did they want with me? I watched as they slammed the door shut hearing the screams of my father through the door.

I felt tears begin to well up in my eyes. What could I do? I was helpless. I was tied to a chair with nothing to help me but myself.

And then I remembered what he said. He was right, now was not the time to be emotional. I needed to concentrate. If there was any chance of us surviving I needed to get out of this chair. I blinked back the tears and focused on loosening my hands. I kept trying to free myself getting more and more anxious each time. I was getting worse each time and I was beginning to panic.

I finally stopped and took a few deep breaths. I could do this. If I'm supposedly a Lovac then I should manage it. I looked ahead determined, making sure to feel how the restrains were tied. I closed my eyes focusing all my energy between my hands and in one strong motion I pulled my hands apart. It didn't break but it certainly got slightly looser.

I can do this. I kept working my way until finally I was free. I pulled the gag off my mouth and immediately untied the restrains by my feet with ease. Almost falling over myself, I dashed to the door opening it.

The sight I saw was peculiar. There was a group of people in a circle clapping and my dad was in the middle smiling.

"Told you she'd do it in a record time," he said proudly.

For a moment I was stunned, I felt like I had just dreamed up everything.

"Dad what the hell is going on?" I asked wondering if I was in a daydream.

"We were testing you," he said.

"Testing me?" I asked not wanting to believe it.

"Look I'm sorry you had-," he began saying but I couldn't hold it in.

"Are you crazy?" I asked, "I thought we were both kidnapped, I thought you were being tortured!" I shouted frantically.

"I know, I'm sorry we had to create a strong emotional reaction," he said as an explanation," You need to understand when you reach within yourself, you have a higher amount of strength."

I didn't have the heart to look at him. I simply walked out if that abandoned house as he shouted after me.

Subconsciously as much as a smile could form under the tape, it did. Guess my father turned out to be right, who would have known. Being much older and stronger, it didn't take me long to get out of the restraints.

I braced myself for the pain of pulling the duct tape off my mouth. I could feel a sharp searing pain pulling off the top layer of my skin. I untied my legs and stood up to help Alison but she was just finishing off as well.

"My father trained me for this," she said.

"Me too," I said with a smile.

"I didn't speak to him for a week after that," she said.

"Try 9 days," I said now remembering the memory.

"Mfph!" we heard another voice and turned to see Matt tied to another chair.

"Matt what the hell are you doing here?" I asked walking up to him.

"This is going to sting," I said as I grabbed a hold of the duct tape. I pulled it off like a Band aid but I knew the pain he felt.

"You didn't have to be so rough," he said while Allison helped to untie his restraints, "And why would your father's train you for this?"

Allison and I glanced at each other.

"Matt, I don't think you'd understand," Allison said diplomatically.

"I'm so sick of hearing that!" he said standing up.

Allison was taken aback and put her hands up in an effort to calm him down.

"Keep it down! They could hear us!" I hissed at him.

"How did you get here?" Allison asked in a quiet tone. He sighed.

"I heard you guys talking a bit and followed you outdoors, before I knew it, I was captured too," he said.

"Did you see who captured us? Was it someone like Aiden?" I asked suspiciously.

"Aiden? Why would he kidnap us? I mean yeah, he can be a dick but he's a student," he said not understanding.

"Okay," Allison said, "But did you see who it was?"

"Just a normal group of guys from what I saw, I barely saw their faces before I was knocked out myself," he said.

"This doesn't make any sense," I said and Allison seemed to be on my wavelength already.

"You're right it doesn't especially considering it's too early for the sacrifices," she said deep in thought.

"Sacrifices?" Matt asked almost hesitant to know more.

"You said you'd explain what Aiden is since he isn't human. Could he be behind this?" she asked me. I thought about it, I wouldn't put it past him. Plus he did threaten me a few minutes before I got captured but it didn't seem like his style.

"It could be but it's not his style, and he's a werewolf by the way," I told Allison matter a factly. She nodded shocked but also not too surprised.

"A what!?" Matt exclaimed.

I had completely forgotten Matt didn't know. I was so caught up talking to Alison I didn't think to stop myself.

"Look Matt, what I mean is-," I began to say to calm him down but his next words shocked us.

"That makes so much damn sense," he said almost relieved, "Now let's get the hell out of here."

XXXXXXXXX

Did you expect Matt's reaction? :p

Also for a mini spoiler, I have a bar, pool table scene with Aria and then possibly 2 other people :p I'm pretty sure I know who I'll put but I'd love to know who you guys would like to see!
