Her eyes fluttered open, a dull aching in the back of her head. Seeing nothing but black, and a fur blanket around her, she closed them again, home…, she thought with a sigh, snuggling into the warm blanket, letting her mind wonder. Didn't I have a poster above my bed; she questioned herself, her body tensing as she felt something shift behind her.
Opening her eyes again, her eyes adjust to the darkness, and she hears a loud grunt from across the room. Something moves and then gets up in the shape of a large dog. She suppresses a scream, and closes her eyes, realizing she is not where she thought she was.
He feels her move, and tense from within his arms. Quickly slipping as far as he can from her without her knowing he was there, he changes, and then ties a piece of fur around his naked body. Leaning in from behind her he whispers, "I'm so sorry I brought you here."
Jessie closed her eyes, trying to make her self smaller; a tear slipping down her cheek.
"I know you're awake," he started, "come with me, I need you to know something."
She wiped away her tears with the blanket, and whispered, "What do you want with me?"
He got up onto his knees behind her, watching as she hid herself under the soft covers, and then lifting up her limp body. The man stepped over the others, and walked down the long tunnel, hearing a small whimper come from the large ball of fur in his arms.
Jessie's mind raced, what is he going to do with me? she kept asking her self, letting the tears fall freely down her face. She felt him stop and set her down, gently pulling the blanket away from her face.
As soon as she seen him, her heart seemed to stop, the thoughts that were going through her mind evaporated. The tears stopped flowing down her now red cheeks; her face blank, her eyes confused.
The man in front of her chewed the inside of his cheek, and sighed, "I'm sorry I brought you here, I never meant for this to happen…," he trailed off, his black eyes wondering to the dirt floor.
"Where am I?" Jessie asked; her voice quiet and cracking, her eyes looking around the room, trying not to look at the long scar going from his shoulder, down to his belly button.
He looked back up at her, "in a cave," he answered, watching her troubled eyes roam the room. "Look Jess, I'll get you out of here as soon as I can, but you can't tell anyone where or what we are ok?"
"How do you know my name?" she asked, looking straight at him.
Just as he was about to answer a man with fire red hair ran in the door from behind the man, with just a pair of ripped pants on, "hey Jason, are you going to share your snack?"
Jessie looked back at the man, Jason, and seen anger flash in his eyes. "Get the fuck out, before I kill you…" he replied, a low growl coming from his lips. The red haired man stood there in shock, and then slowly stepped back from the door way, quickly making his way back down the hall.
"Sorry about him..." he mumbled, looking to the floor.
"When did he mean?" she asked, her body trembling in fear.
Jason looked away, breaking eye contact. His mouth opened as if to say something, but nothing came out. "If I could tell you, I would."
Jessie sighed, her fear finally disappearing, somehow knowing she had to trust him; curiosity taking over her mind, despite what had just happened. "Who are you? How do you know my name?"
He looked back at her, a spark of excitement growing inside of him, and quietly answered, "It's me Jason, the guy you talk to online… Don't eat yellow snow."
Jessie looked at the man in front of her in astonishment, how could this be him? She thought to herself, staring into his black eyes in silence.
Suddenly a loud howl came from the cave behind Jason, fallowed by a large black shadow with flicks of white shining off the light from the lamps that lined the tunnel. Jessie closed her eyes tightly, not knowing what was going to happen.
The hair started to dissolve from the wolf's body, bones cracking molding into a human body; standing up, it asked, "hey, Jason, what are you doing back here?"
"Hello dad…" Jason replied, looking back at his father, his eyes pleading as he watched his father's eyes land on the girl in front of him. "This is Jessie," Jason answered the question that was about to come from the man's mouth.
A soft "oh" came from his mouth as he watched Jessie open her eyes, his grey eyes locking with hers.
"Robert," a feathery light voice rang through the cave, a tall slender woman with dark blonde hair walked into the room, hugging Robert from the behind. Breaking eye contact he looked around, kissing her on the forehead.
The woman looked around the room, seeing Jason kneeling on the floor and giving him a heavenly smile, then continued until she seen Jessie looking down into her hands.
Breaking away from Robert's arms, she walked over to Jessie and lifted her chin lightly with her hand. Tilting her head sideways her brilliant smile faded, she studied the red streaks running down the girls face. Taking her thumb she wiped away the few stray tears that were making their way down Jessie's cheeks.
When she pulled her hand away, the woman put her finger to her nose, taking a quick sniff, and then licking the liquid off with her tongue. Strange, she thought, taking her finger from her mouth, something is different about her.
