Preface

Blood trickled down my neck as I breathed in short ragged breaths, all the while he stared at me with dark eyes. I pulled at the metal chains that were securely fastened round my wrists, and chained to the wall behind me. He only chuckled at my feeble attempt to free myself.

I could feel my heart beat louder as he inched ever so slowly towards me, I shut my eyes and focused on Emily's house back on the Reservation; I felt the familiar tingle of low heat in my palms, and steadied myself, ready to shift.

My legs suddenly buckled beneath me as I felt electric shots jerk through my body. I scream out in pain as I hit my head against the wall, and felt the blood start to slowly weep into the collar of my shirt. My body spassamed aginst the pressure of the shocks. My body slowly went still as the volts dulled, and eventually stopped.

"It's hard to shift whilst you have a thousand volts of electricity passing through your system." He murmured as he stood in front of me. His eyes once ice blue, now a thick blood red.

I didn't understand, I'd never had trouble shifting before. I could shift to and from anywhere; underwater, from centre town to home. Hell, I could even shift from one end of the country to the other. Then it hit me; the electric current was interfering with my molecular structure, making it that the heat couldn't pass through my skin, which would then enable me to shift.

He roughly pulled me to my feet, and pushed me against the wall, pressing his body against mine.

"You can't shift anywhere Abigail." He whispered before moving towards my neck.

I felt my blood run cold as his frozen lips lightly pressed against my skin, trailing kisses across my collarbone. There was no way out, I was trapped. I tried to force him away from me, only to have him push harder against me.

"Zachary, please don't." I begged.

"Do not resist me." He warned. "You'll only make this harder for yourself."

My body went limp as he kissed my collarbone, his other hand slowly caressing my thigh. I wished to have a warmer touch - a familiar one, belonging to the man I loved, instead of this monster.

Please, I screamed in my mind. Please don't hurt me.

I felt his teeth graze against my neck, nipping ever so slightly. I flinched and my blood ran cold - Zachary smirked against my skin. This was the reaction that he wanted from me; fear.

"Time is up darling," He whispered. "Not even your mutt can save you now."

I closed my eyes and awaited death. I love you, Paul was my last thought before I lost consciousness.

(A/N): Just a little side-note, when they talk about Abigail 'shifting', they don't mean that she shifts into a wolf. You might just want to bear that in mind. Don't worry, it will all become clearer in the next few chapters. :)

I apologise for any grammatical mistakes within this chapter/preface. I'm using my old laptop and it's refusing to spell-check any of my work.
