Chapter 1: Awakening
Ow! Damn my head is killing me. Let me tell you one thing, when you have been asleep for millions of years and you wake up your head hurts. I opened my eyes and shut them straight away. That was a bright light. I tried to lift my hand to rub my eyes but I couldn't move them. I opened my eyes again and blinked rapidly. Finally I was used to the light. I looked down at my hands. They were chained to a table. So were my ankles. I heard footsteps echoing through the room. I shut my eyes and pretended to be asleep. I felt a sharp thing pierce the skin on my thigh. It didn't hurt, but it did annoy me. I hate being trapped. I waited for the footsteps to leave. I clenched my fists shut and yanked them up. The chain snapped. I sat up and ripped the chains from my ankles. I heard voices. I looked around. I was in a room with two doors, the voices coming from one. I didn't have time to worry about the cuffs around my wrist and ankles, or the shredded rags I was wearing. I slid off the table and ran for the door. It was locked but that didn't matter. I ripped it from its hinges and carried on running. I ran down a damp, dark corridor. The voices were angry now and there were footsteps running behind me. I ran down another corridor. At the end of it was a door, I headed for it and rattled the handle. It was locked. I punched the handle and pushed it open. I was in a kitchen. I ran through it and headed for a door on the other side. Everyone in the kitchen stared at me. I must have looked weird. A tall, slender, sheet white teenager with pure white hair that had blood red streaks on one side, wearing shredded clothes, running for her life. I stopped ageing when I was eighteen. I grimaced and flung the door open. The sun blinded me. I blinked and held my arm up, blocking out most of the suns glare. It has been millions of years since I have seen it. I felt around with my mind. Hopefully I can sense a shapeshifter somewhere. There. A boy with golden hair and gold-green eyes. He was a Drache. One of my brother's descendants. He was about four miles away. I ran in that direction. My bare feet hitting the floor. I headed through a place with a lot of big stone huts. I ran as fast as I could, which was pretty fast. I slowed when I neared a huge stone hut. It had high iron gates at the front. I jumped them and ran for the door. It was unlocked so I pushed it open and headed towards the shapeshifter. He was sitting in a room with comfy looking seats. There were eighteen people sitting in there talking. The golden hair boy and a black haired girl looked up at me and screamed. I looked at them, panic filling me. Two people grabbed me from behind. I shook them off and twisted. A half breed werewolf and some blood drinking creature. I snarled but didn't move. Damn, I was trapped. The two shapeshifters were still screaming. I turned and everyone was staring at me.
"Damn it, will you stop screaming. It hurts." I covered my ears and they stopped. I dropped my hands.
"Now would someone like to explain to me 1) why I fell asleep and have woken up… I don't know millions of years later. 2) Why the hell I woke up in chains." I said, lifting my hands, showing what was left of the chains. " 3) Why I was stabbed in the thigh. 4) Why is someone chasing me and 5) why are you screaming." I finished. I took a deep breath. The golden haired boy's mouth fell open. I sighed.
" Answer to the first question is you were put to sleep by a bunch of witches and someone has woken you up. I don't know the answer to the last questions." A boy with white blond hair said. I smiled at him and nodded.
"Y…you…your back." The black haired girl said. What?
"That who we were just talking about" the Drache said. Everyone's eyes went wide. The half breed and bloodsucker jumped on me again. I snarled and my legs gave way. So that's what was stuck into my thigh. Fire shot through my whole body. I screamed and landed flat on the floor. The half breed and bloodsucker had let me go. The pain came again. I screamed and twitched. The world went dizzy.
"Help me, please." I said as everything went black.
