Chapter 2 - Where am I...

Cool breeze was blowing. The Sun was setting. It was more becoming dark with each minute. There were some strange noises all around.

I was lying on the floor. My hands and legs were tied. It was hurting. It was paining all around my body. There were strange noises all around. Where am I ?

I slowly opened my eyes. It was blurry all at first. Then I tried to examine my surroundings first. It was dark all around. I tried to stand up but failed. My legs felt weak. Someone was shouting outside the room. How I came here. I can't recall at all. Why my head is feeling dizzy.

'Get the work done ASAP.'

What are they talking about. Are they talking about killing me? No, this can't be. I will have to escape from here.

I looked here and there. But there was nothing that I could use to cut rope. Am I going to die like this. No, never.

I have been bullied since my childhood. I will not let anyone bully me now. And those in the past, I will return them ten times.

I was struggling hard to untie my rope. Wait, what is there in my pocket, a nailcutter. How come it is here. Anyway, this can be used to cut ropes. This moment for me was like that I solved every riddle of my life.

But the real riddle was coming ahead...

I quickly untied the ropes and walked with light steps towards the door. I tried to open the door but it was locked. I then looked outside through the keyhole. Someone was coming towards my side. I quickly went back to my lying position faking unconscious. Now the best option for me is to pretend and wait for my right chance.

The door unlocked. Someone entered in the room. Footsteps were becoming louder and louder approaching towards me. My heartbeat was increasing with each footstep.

As he moved more closer, I opened my eyes. I took my chance, jumped onto him and attacked him with all my force using nailcutter. It striked on his eyes. He fell on the ground moaning in pain.

I ran towards the door as much fast as I can. But my bad luck. There was the whole group of assassin's outside. I ran towards the direction of forest with all my might.

'Catch her. Don't let her escape.'

No! I have to escape as soon as possible. They are following me. I can't get in their hands. My heart is beating very loudly. I don't know what to do. I want to run as fast as possible.

(somewhere near in the forest)

"How can you loose her. Search everywhere. We need to get her. Quick, be fast."

We will be dead to go without her.

'God, please save me', I thought in my mind. I want to live. I don't want to die at such young age. I was sweating. I was shivering with fear. Tears were flowing down continuously. I was running until I came out of my breathe. But I was unstoppable. I continued to run when I suddenly fell in a huge pit and passed out.

I felt my eyes were heavy. I rubbed and opened xx light rays all around. It must be noon.

I think I am safe for now. For now, I have to escape from this pit first. But I am thirsty and starving. I haven't eaten anything previous night till now. I have no energy left inside my body. I should try to shout for help. But for the second thought this idea might be a wrong one. I may alert my enemies. I don't know what should I do now. The last option is to wait here for someone's help.

After some time, I felt dizzy and slept. When I opened my eyes I was lying on the ground. How can I reach here myself. Who took me out of the pit? But I have no time to think about this. I am feeling thirsty.

It was evening. I kept walking in an unknown direction. Soon, there was a brook flowing nearby. I reached their and drank as much water to fill my thirst. I washed my feet and hands. Now I should grab some food. But where can I get food in such a huge forest. I started to walk again.

After few steps, my sight fell on smoke coming from the forest. There must be some humans. On a closer look, it looked like some kind of festival was being celebrated.

May be I can get there some food and help so that I can leave this forest soon. I should hurry down there.

As I reached there, I hid behind bushes. I waited and looked for a chance to get some food. I heard some voices. They were some like talking about alpha. I was all Greek to me. I was unable to understand anything. Well just leave it. I should wait for the right moment and focus on picking up the food.

Suddenly, there was a huge commotion within the crowd. They all started to walk in the same direction. Now, it was my chance. It looked like someone had joined the celebration. It was the right time for me. I sneaked out and walked towards the direction of food.

"I want her to be my luna." declared alpha.

His sharp gaze fell on me. Everyone was looking at me. I felt shivers down my spine. What was happening and why he pointed towards me.
