Chapter 2
You awoke in a strange room. Looking around, you are amazed by what you see. You are lying in a four poster bed with black silken sheets. Surrounding you are thick, blood red curtains. You massage your throbbing head and look down. Your wounds have been bandaged, and you are no longer wearing your own night cloths. You are now in a long, silk, white nightgown.

You can see nothing but the bed and the curtains around you. Curiosity overcomes your common sense, and you slowly move towards the thick curtains.
As you slowly part them, and you are slightly disappointed by what you see. The room is empty, except for a black chair and a dark wooden dresser. The walls are a reddish color, and the floor is a dark wood. ‘Great…’ You think, as you slowly stand up, careful of your wounds.

As you look about your sparse new living conditions, you think you hear voices. Two of them. They seem to be coming from somewhere below you. Apparently your “room” is on an upper floor.

Again, you become curious. You moved towards the thick wooden door, and, turning the brass handle, found that it wasn’t locked. The door opened easily, and you stepped out into the hallway, still in it the nightgown.

You find yourself just feet from a spiraling, red carpeted stairway. Slowly, you descend it. The closer you come to the bottom, the louder the voices get. Soon, the last stair is reached.

Before you step on it, you listen to the voices. They both seem to be male…

“Do you know what you have done?!”
“I did the right thing. Besides, it would have killed her on the spot.”
“The werewolves won’t be pleased. That was one of their finest…”
“I don’t care. That girl needed rescuing…”
“Don’t tell me you’ve got a soft spot of that mortal!”
“Of course not! She’s just a meal…”

At this, you stopped listening. You had heard enough. ‘What on earth is going on?’ you thought to yourself. You looked towards where the voices had been, since the voices had just stopped, but instead of seeing the stairs, you came face to face with two of the angriest, but most handsome, men you had ever seen.

One seemed to be slightly younger than the other, but they were both equally annoyed, and they were focused on you.

You were hoping beyond hope that they weren’t about to kill you. You stared back into their eyes, backing up slowly. And they followed, closing in on you.

You were trapped.

There was nowhere left to run. You started to panic, but then, something surprising happened.
The younger of the two reached towards you, but did not harm you. Instead, he laid a hand on your shoulder, as if to calm you. He spoke in a deep, handsome voice.

“Go back to your room, you’re not yet fully healed.”
His voice seemed to have a touch if worry in it. He held out his hand.
“My name is Eric. I don’t believe I’ve yet heard you r name.”
You didn’t know quite how to react to his sudden kindness, but took his hand and shook it gently.

“I’m ______. “ You said cautiously. He smiled for a moment, and you thought you saw fangs, but no, that’s impossible. You must be seeing things…

The other, older one did not introduce himself. He simply glared at the younger. His glare then turned towards you, though you thought you noticed it soften slightly.
You stared back, and as you did so, you noticed that he had shockingly white, shoulder length hair…

And ice blue eyes.
