Chapter 6: No Desire

"Mom!"

"My regrets are far, and wide. The pleasures I have embraced feel cold. I no longer wish to know the warmth of love. If I die, I hope Death's cold touch feels of that, which is no longer there."

My body stands in a blank, empty stance, and Quy sees her opportunity as she leaps forward. Her whole body weight over taking mine. For an average look girl, her monster like strength overpowers me. "Wha...What?" My mind races with more confusion, feeling her warmth surround my body. It has a feeling of anguish, but also love.

"Just hold still!" Quy tries heavily to put my arms behind my back. With success, she pulls out rope, and wraps it around into a tight locking. My arms won't move anymore... "You're going to pay for what you did to Lua!" Quy's voice turns from caring, to rage. I had been tricked, and my time was running out. "You're going to come with me, and get what you deserve!" 'Thud' I fall into darkness.

I awaken several hours later, as the sky begins to brighten, realizing morning is close. My arms, and legs are both tied around a long pole, thus, no longer able to move. I set into a panic like state, only briefly. After a few moments, I take a better look at my surrounding. It's a camp like set-up. There is multiple beds, tents, fire-pits, and places for sitting. Close by, there is a cave. Inside, all I can see are dozens of doors. Each door has its own marking. After gazing more closely, it would appear to be the wolves den. Screams, and moan are heard slightly from inside, echoing the cave.

Seeing that the encampment is home to werewolf's, I try to get loose, but to no avail. From the sounds of my attempt, a wolf awakens from a near by tent. From the entrance, a soft furry head, with playful looking ears pops out. I quickly spot it out as Quy. Seeing her face in a more brighter location, it would seem that she is even more beautiful then I had thought. Her hair is a dark red, eyes of jade, and tan skin.

"Oh, you're finally awake." Quy gives me a smile, and her whole body exits the tent. "I'm guessing that you are wondering where everyone else is, yes?" I give her a small nod trying to leave my eyes expressionless. "Well...Each one of us has to stay out in the tents, in till we're 'adults'. As you can see, everyone is no longer out here but me, and Lua resting. The others are either inside, in their new rooms, or still out hunting. We only have an hour left." Quy sighs, and walks towards me. She squats down next me, and looks more closely at my face. Each second her face grows redder.

The closer she is, the more I notice the bust of her body. The curves, and completion of her chest. Quy notices, and gives off a small giggle. I look away quickly, as to not arise any other emotion, even though my face is now also glowing red. "You know, since you hurt Lua pretty bad, she had to miss out on this years hunt. She's weak as it is, but you just had to make it worse." Quy stands giving a more deepen sigh. "I suppose your fear cannot be helped. Stupid humans..."

My confusion rises more and more each second. "I've had a husband before, and I can never forget him. I've tried to move on, but I simply can't. You are cute, but I feel Lua would rather...Or yet, deserve you." Quy's face lights up with excitement. She quickly moves to another tent right next to the one she emerged from. "What do I care if I hurt her. I wish she would...No, all of them die!" My thoughts race, now only thinking of how to either escape, or end all of their lives.

Quy emerges once more out of the tent. She walks over with a smile, and kneels down towards me. "Don't worry, she's going to be just fine! The herbs, and some magic we kept in some vials will be just enough. She'll be able to move around in about a day or so." Quy flicks my head, this only leaves me more confused. "Whe...When do I get killed? And has Tim already been eaten?" My words leave Quy with an odd look.

"You didn't listen a thing I said, did you?" Quy sighs once more, and goes over to my bag. She opens it, and pulls out my Father's dagger. "You see this emblem, yes? We'll this shows that whoever had this was a Dragoon." I'm left in a speechless moment. Quy raises an eyebrow towards my expression. "Someone you know?" I softly speak out the answer. "My fath...Father." Quy begins to laugh quite loudly. "Ahahaha! No wonder you had both you, and your bother in here. I heard about the deal we made with your elders long ago. They said that only one male per family is to be sent in. Didn't you think it was weird that you're both here, hmmm?"

Without realizing it, my eyes begin to leak tears. My head falls in defeat. "My...My father betrayed us..." My anger fades, only to be consumed by sorrow. "There's no way he would do tha-" Quy cuts me off. "Oh yea? Your father knows that love us monster can give, so i'm guessing he wanted you to also know. From what i've seen, you humans live pretty crappy lives. Always working, and trying to maintain an image, of something you're not."

"C'mon! Do you think we'll eat you? We'd rather have some more 'tasty', than human, but i'm open to new things...If it wasn't for Lua being so understanding, then you would be punished heavily." Quy looks anger, but sadden. "For now, you'll be punished by staying out her all day, and night. It shall stay like this, in till Lua is better." When she finishes, she returns back to her tent. I can see the outline of her shadow from inside. It appears she lies back down.

"Dad wouldn't do this...He wouldn't abandon his sons..." I've never felt so betrayed. My love becomes more, and more into hatred. If I leave this place with Tim, I will have answers for this!

Alot of things were answered here, at least I hope, but much more to be said! I'm enjoying this story quite alot, in so, i'll see you next time! ;D
