Here's Chapter 3, for your enjoyment. A bit short, but I'm a short chapter kinda girl. It helps me put out faster I think. But before I forget, there is one thing I should have mentioned. As this is an AU, I've made certain changes to the story line. One of those changes is that Alice never found Huilen and Nahuel. Instead they are here, where I've put them and I hope that you still like the way I've made things. Anywho, have fun. ^_^

I still don't know when he saw me for the first time, but he kept his eyes on me. His ideas for what he could do to me were numerous and monstrous. His name was Joham, and he considered himself a man of 'science'. To me though, he was a monster. I can remember walking beside Jacob when I was snatched up with inhuman speed, in the cold arms of the man who I would hate even beyond his death.

Jacob ran after us, screaming my name and threats to the one who had taken me. I struggled but it was no use, he had me firmly locked in his arms. Next I knew we were stopped and Jahom had a gun pointed at Jacob. I screamed when it was fired nearly point blank at Jacob's chest, but what came out of the gun was not a bullet like I'd thought.

Instead it was a tranquilizer dart, and the effect took over Jacob immediately. He was down on the ground and before I knew anything else a cloth was placed over my mouth and I too was out like a light.

When I awoke later, my hands where tied behind my back and Jacob was nowhere in sight. I was in a cold room with stone walls and one window to my left. There was a door a few feet in front of me, but I assumed it was locked. I was in there for nearly an hour before someone came. The first thing I noticed was her long black hair held in a braid that came over her shoulder. Then her eyes, a shade of red that I had never seen before.

She was beautiful, but I knew right away she was like the rest of my family. She smiled sadly at me, but introduced herself as Huilen. She told me that I was in the home of Joham, who had brought me here. I asked immediately about Jacob, but all she could tell me was that he was elsewhere. She helped me up slowly; I was having a hard time getting up by myself, hands tied as they were.

She brought me through a few hallways and doors, until we came to a large room where there was laboratory equipment everywhere. Books and glass containers lined the walls. Huilen sat me down in a chair and went through a door off to the side. I could hear her talking to someone inside, but I couldn't make out what was being said. Then she came out, followed by the man who had taken me. I glared at him, but he just laughed.

He had long black hair tied into a ponytail in the back, and a long white coat on. His skin was a deep tan color, and his eyes dark red. He scared me to a degree, but I wouldn't let him see that.

I demanded to know where Jacob was, but he wouldn't tell me. He just looked at me and wrote things down, making observations I suppose. I wanted to run and find Jacob, but I knew if I did run, this man would catch me. Then he promised that if I answered his questions he would take me to Jacob. I thought that perhaps if I just did as he asked, he may let us go. Childish naivete.

I answered his questions though. He asked my name and where I was from, along with the other generic doctor questions I suppose. After a long line of questions he finally set down his notes and released my hands from their bindings. I followed him then, and he took me to Jacob.

It was a room like the one I'd been in when I had awoken, but this time it was Jacob in his wolf form that occupied it. He growled when the door opened, but the moment he saw me he stopped. I ran to him and buried my face in his warm fur. Joham said something, but I didn't catch it. I was too wrapped up in just being with Jacob again to notice.

Then arms where wrapped around me and I was being taken again. Jacob went after Joham, but then something happened. Jacob howled in pain and I saw a collar around his neck before the door was closed to his room. I tried to get away, but it was no use. I began to cry, but Joham didn't care. Instead he brought me back to his laboratory and strapped something around my neck.

It was a collar, just like Jacob's. After that he pushed me to Huilen, ordering her to take me to my room. Huilen picked me up and I didn't struggle against her. She was gentle, almost mother like as she held me. But then I noticed that she too had a collar around her neck. This man, no, this monster, kept us all prisoner like this.

I expected Huilen to take me back to the room she'd gotten me from, but she didn't. Instead, she brought me to a huge room with white walls and many windows. There were 4 beds, each covered with blankets and pillows. There were bookshelves and lamps, long curtains over the windows, and even some stuffed animals. It looked more like a princess' room rather than the prison I knew it should be.

There were three others in the room, all female and each sitting on a bed. Huilen set me on the unoccupied bed and went into a room off to the side. I looked to the other girls, who had been busy until I came in. They all looked at me with sad eyes, but smiled. They were all older looking, the youngest at least in her teens. To them I knew I looked about six, but something told me they knew better. I knew that they were like me.

The older looking one had been brushing out her long black hair, but now put down her brush and came over to me. She kneeled in front of me and smiled. She introduced herself as Chikela. The others, who also had long black hair and tan skin like Chikela, were Aminah and Pernel. Chikela was the oldest at one hundred forty-three, Aminah ninety and Pernel fifty-three. But none of them looked older than two decades old. Their eyes weren't the same dark red of Joham's, but they were red nevertheless.

They explained that they were Joham's daughters, and that Joham was conducting experiments to create a super race of extraordinary beings. I could tell that they would much rather be out living their own lives than stuck here with the monster that sired them. I also noted that each had a collar around her neck, but they had glued gems and such on them. I didn't blame them, wanting to feel less like prisoners in their own home.

Huilen came back with a stack of clothes and a towel and directed me to another room off of this large one. It was a bathroom, but it was huge, just like the bedroom. I closed the door behind me and began to undress. I don't remember how long I was in the shower, but I soon learned that the collar was water proof. When I got out and dressed in the night clothes Huilen had given me, it was twilight.

I came out of the bathroom, with my clothes in my hands. Aminah was the only one in the bedroom, absorbed in a book. She looked up when I came out and smiled. She pointed to a basket near the bed Huilen had put me on. I assumed now it was my bed. Which could only mean one thing....

...Joham was going to keep me here like this daughters to be his experiment. He wasn't going to let me or Jacob go.
