Maddy's POV.

I could feel the wolf's teeth dig deeper and deeper into my flesh . The pain increased every second . Then the world started to close in on me , until I was finally consumed by darkness . I woke up in a dim , cramped room . I was tied to some kind of post , which was stuck in the ground and there was tape stuck on my mouth . I looked one of the corners and saw a pile of bones . A couple of seconds later Alric walked in with a whip in his right hand and a scary smile plastered all over his face .

Nobody's POV.

Alric : " I see you have woken up . "

Maddy looks down trying not to make eye contact . Alric started to walk closer to her while swinging the whip , back and forth . He crouches down next to her . He puts a finger under her chin and lifts up her head . Maddy closes her eyes shut , to keep from looking at him .

Alric : "Don't worry , Rhydian is going to get help , I know . But in the meantime I have this whip and I have you , try not to squirm too much . "

He raises the whip above his head . Maddy tries to sit still , but the thought of Rhydian kept her moving . She just sat their and braced for impact .

( Back At Stoneybridge )

Rhydian ran as fast as he could through the moors . Once he finally made it to Maddy's house , he knocked on the door fiercely . A minute or two Emma answered the door .

Emma : " Rhydian , what's wrong ? "

( Back At School )

When Tom and Shannon got back to class , Miss. Fitzgerald was calling roll call .

Miss. Fitzgerald : " Kay . Maddy . Rhydian . Shannon . Tom . Where is Maddy and Rhydian . "

Shannon : " Um ... They were sick and the nurse sent them home . "

Miss. Fitzgerald : " Ok . Lets turn to page 185 . "

( Maddy's House )

Rhydian told them everything that happened . Emma and Dan started to panic .

Emma : " What are we going to do ? "

Dan : " I don't know . "

Rhydian looked at them with worried faces .

Rhydian : " How about we go after her tonight ? "

Emma : " Ok . Meet us back here at 8 . "

He agrees and gets up to head back to school .

( The Wild )

Alric whipped Maddy fiercely , over and over .

Maddy : " STOP ! "

She has gashes all over her body . Alric soon decided to stop . He untied her and took her to the rest of pack . He pushes her down and the pack ( al in wolf form )start to move in and lick their teeth . Growling . Snarling . Growing closer and closer to Maddy , who was still on the ground , sore from all the whipping .

( School )

Rhydian finally makes it back to school . Tom and Shannon were both on the football field . Tom was kicking a soccer ball and Shannon was talking about physics .

Rhydian : " Hey , guys . "

Tom : " Back ? "

Rhydian : " Emma , Dan , and I are going to go after Maddy tonight . "

Shannon : " What about us ? Can we come ? "

Rhydian : " We can't take risk . You two can stay here and guard the territory . "

Tom : " Yeah . "

Rhydian : " Come on lets get back to class . "

( Time Skip )

Rhydian says goodbye to Tom and Shannon and heads to Maddy's house . There he meets up with Emma and Dan . They set off , with Rhydian in the lead .

( The Wild )

Maddy was still on the ground . Still to sore to move . The wolves got so close , that they were just inches away . They were nuzzling and nipping at her .

Rhydian : " Stop ! "
