A/N OMG DID YOU MISS ME?! I'm back and better than ever! I've decided to make this into a Saga! Just like Twilight lol. So.. these are the books in order: Sorrow and Secret, Venom Kisses, Howls of the Moon, and now Dark Flames! Anyway, this is a prologue, not chapter 1. It may be confusing, but just read cause I want you to be confused. Enjoy!

Prologue:

Waking up, I find myself chained to a bed. Candles surrounding me, and mysterious people with guns in their hands staring at my. I look down to see myself in nothing but a white dress, covered in blood. I looked at my hands which have bruises, probably from fighting. I look to my right to see Scott tied up, mouth covered, staring at me with anger and fear.

"What the hell?'I tried to speak but my voice was gone.

I look to my left and see Derek chained up to the wall unconscious, blood dripping from his chest to the floor. I tried breaking free, but the chains continue to cut through my wrists.

"Let me go! I'll kill all of you!"I growled, suddenly regaining my voice.

One of the men smacked my with their gun, and I snapped. Violently, I desperately try t break free, but it was no use.

"Stephanie! Stop!"Derek shouted at me.

I stared at him in disbelief. Did he actually expect me to let them get away with hitting me?

"Why are we here? Tell me now!"I shouted at the guards. They started to laugh, and that pissed me off even more. "Why the hell are you laughing?! Answer my damn question!"

"Because,"One of the guards started, "You three are worth millions! We're gonna be rich after we kill you three!"

Suddenly, all the guards cheered in victory. They all started to leave the room, still cheering and laughing. I tried once again to break free, but the chains kept getting tighter, and I started to lose consciousness.

"Steph..."Scott said after being able to remove the tape from his mouth.

"Steph stop, it's wolfsbane."Derek pleaded.

I didn't stop, I couldn't stop. I had to get free and save them, they were bleeding badly and it was my responsibility to free them.

"I can't stop! I have to break free!"

Suddenly, spikes sprung out of the chains, cutting my wrists even further. I growled in pain, knowing how much it bothered Derek to feel the pain I was going through. I watched as he growled out, pleading with his eyes. Slowly, my eyes began to droop, as the wolfsbane flooded through my system.

"I... can't give...up..."I coughed.

"Steph stop please! Stop!"Scott pleaded, but I couldn't respond cause my voice was gone again. I started to lose feeling in my body, from my toes, to my legs, waist, stomach, then hands. Finally, my whole body was numb.

Then, my eyes closed. The last thing I heard was Scott screaming my name...

I gasped, sitting up from my bed, checking my wrists to see if I was okay. I looked over to my side to find it empty. I looked at my left hand, noticing the spot where my engagement ring was and smiled.

"I'm still Stephanie Smith. Good.."I mumbled.

Looking over to my clock, the time was "6:54." I saw a picture of Derek and I smiling. Picking it up, I brushed the frame with my thumb. Out of rage, I threw the frame at my wall, watching the glass shatter and fall. The picture floated to the floor slowly, like a forgotten memory. I grabbed my knees, and cried softly..

A/N OKAY, if you remember from the last book how Stephanie was engaged to Derek and everything was happy, Im soo proud of you. These few chapters coming up isn't about Teen wolf exactly, but to explain what happened between the last book and now. I felt like the last book was too short and didn't really add up the whole series. Chapter 1 is coming soon, so read and review!
