Chapter 1
The first thing a young Remus Lupin noticed while he slowly woke up was the smell of mildew and fear. Just a few short hours ago he was safe at home in his bed, not that he was aware of that. There were no windows in his small cell that would indicate time.
He placed a hand on his forehead and felts something sticky. Looking at his head, he saw the crimson hue that was unique to drying blood.
"That explains the headache," he muttered to himself. He glanced around at his surroundings, and saw nothing but a six by four cell that had metal bars on one side. Crawling, he made his way over to the bars. He gripped them and pressed his face to see what was outside of his prison. Nothing.
There was nothing but a long stretch of corridor. There didn't appear to be an indication of any other cells.
"Hello?" Remus shouted through the bars. "Is anyone there?"
There was a few seconds of silence before the loud clang of a heavy metal door being opened. Remus quickly shuffled back to a corner in his cell. The footsteps were heavy and got louder as they made his way to his cell. Remus clutched his eyes shut in hopes of turning this experience into nothing more than a nightmare.
"Hello princess," a gruff voice said. "What'sa matter? Don't wanna play with ol' Greyback?"
Remus opened one eye and was meet with a terrifying sight. A man, of sorts, who stood over six feet tall and had features that bore striking resemblance to a wolf. His lanky, thin hair barely covered the greasy, pale skin that stretched across his face. He smiled at Remus with kindness but his eyes held a dangerous glint that caused Remus to press back even further into the corner.
"Well you're gonna have ta come outa der. We got plans fo' ya." With that, Greyback left. His heavy steps once again retreating down the seemingly endless corridor.
After he heard the metal clang of the door being open and shut, Remus let out the breath he had been holding. He clenched his eyes shut once again while hugging his knees to his chest. While terrifying thoughts raced through his head, Remus attempted to sleep in hopes of waking up from this twisted dream.
