1. Chapter 1

It was dark when I awoke. The chill midnight air pierced my lungs like ice when I breathed. A breeze blew through the trees, making the leaves rustle lightly, "Who's there?" I said into the darkness, "Show yourself!" I got on my feet slowly and quietly, someone or something was in the undergrowth around me. My heart pounded against my chest.

Suddenly, the bushes rustled and a dark figure emerged from the undergrowth. Then around me, two more figures appeared, surrounding me. I could not make out their appearance in the blackness, but their eyes glowed and gave away their location, "Who are you?" I whimpered. One of them laughed quietly, "Greetings Luna," The voice spoke, "We are not here to hurt you. We only ask a favor." His voice was low and rough.

The other two surrounding figures moved slightly closer, I spun around and growled quietly. I turned back to the first figure, " What do you want from me?" I said, gazing into his glowing green eyes. He laughed again, "We only ask that you follow us to our master," He began, and the other two behind me shifted positions. The moon had moved right above us, the clearing brightened and I could finally see the figures. The male who spoke had a pale ginger coat and scars over his face. I turned my head to the left, a dark orange female had her eyes narrowed at me, she growled as we made eye contact. To the right, a gray male sat. He seemed impatient and was watching me closely, "Who is your master? And how do you know my name?" I said, turning back to the ginger male, he grinned evilly, "Our master will give you all the information you desire, although, if you refuse to follow us to him, you will suffer the consequences." He narrowed his eyes, all of us were silent.

What do I do? I took a step back, I bumped into a figure behind me. I leaped back and spun around. The red female was standing in front of me, her teeth bared. I heard a voice behind me, "Get her!" Before I could react. Two large bodies slammed me into the ground, crushing my chest. I yelled in alarm, "Don't hurt her, master wants her unharmed." I heard the ginger male say, "You got it Fang." The female replied. Then I felt a sharp pain in my head, then everything went black.
