"I'll be crystal clear with you so we avoid any misunderstandings, ok? I am not your father. Alexander was my brother, and he died before you were born. He was the pack leader and died defending us from an opposing pack that attempted to take over. I fought by his side to protect our pack. I was wounded during the battle, but I recovered from my injuries. Your father on the other hand suffered life-threatening injuries, which in turn he died from. After you were born, your mother asked me to step up and raise you as my own. I agreed to, but I ALWAYS despised you. Being the son of the former pack leader, I knew you would eventually take his place; my place. I was determined to keep that from happening, so I came up with a plan; a plan to get rid of you. I have to say, it was quite ingenious! Your mother's death, the constant beatings, and eventually you running away. It worked like a charm! For a while, everything was going just fine. Then I realized something. I wasn't satisfied with just letting you run away. No, I wanted to finish what I had started when you were a cub. And now the time has come, to finish you off!"

I couldn't believe everything I had just heard. The saber who I thought for my whole life was my father, was actually my uncle; my jealousy-driven uncle who wanted my position as leader. I always knew something wasn't right about him.

"What did you mean by my mother's death? You planned that?!"

He chuckled and said, "Of course. With her gone, I could do whatever I wanted to you."

"What did you do to her?!" I demanded.

"Oh, I didn't do anything. Your 'brothers' on the other hand took care of her for me. And if it hasn't already hit you, they are actually your cousins. They ambushed Chloe while she was hunting and, well, let's just say SHE was the prey this time."

I glared at Oscar and Rico, ready to take both of them down at that instant. They were standing on opposite sides of Torren, both wearing an evil grin. So much rage and hatred was building up inside of me and I had to release it. Shira managed to chew through the wooden posts that had served as window bars in the cell and stood next to me. I could tell by the look on her face that she wanted revenge just as much as I did. We looked at each other without saying a word and nodded, confirming that we would take all three of them down together.

Torren spoke up.

"Well, looks like my little puppet is trying to lose her strings. Fine, if that's how you want it to be, I'll gladly finish you off as well. I'm done with you anyway."

That made Shira furious and she said, "Your days of controlling me are OVER!"

She charged at Torren ready to take him down and I followed closely behind her. Rico and Oscar came right at us while Torren stayed behind. They pretty much served as his minions, doing his dirty work and guarding him. I collided with Oscar, slashing at his face and leaving him scarred. He tried to grab me, but barely missed as I tackled him to the ground, sinking my fangs into his neck. I held him down to cut off his air supply and after a few seconds, he lay motionless. I then turned back to Shira who was being held down by Rico. She wasn't nearly as strong as I was, so I grabbed him and threw him into a wall. He slammed into it head first with such force, killing him instantly.

"Shira, are you ok?" I asked concerned.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for that."

"Don't thank me yet, we still have to deal with him" I said glaring at Torren.

He was looking at his recently deceased sons, which enraged him more than ever. Then he looked back at me, and without saying a word, he charged. I remained where I was, ready to fight to the death. It was time I avenged my parents and ended this monster.

Just as we were about to make contact, he turned right for Shira. Catching her off guard, he pounced on her and pinned her to the ground. She was struggling to get up, but she didn't have the strength to push him away.

"NO!" I yelled as I rammed into him. He fell over but quickly recovered and smacked me in the face with his paw. I fell to the ground as I felt him clawing and beating me repeatedly, just like he did when I was a cub; only this time, I could fight back. I wasn't a weak, helpless cub anymore. Even though I was covered in blood and scratches, my adrenaline was pumping harder than ever as I forced myself up, dodging his attempted blows at me. Finally I saw an opportunity to take him out.

As he tried to claw me for the last time, I grabbed his leg and flung him into a rock wall. The impact caused the rocks and boulders above to tumble down on top of him, crushing him to death. All I saw of him was one paw sticking out from under the large pile. It was done. My nightmare was over.
