Chapter Text
I woke up but didn't open my eyes. It hurts. I couldn't understand actually why but somewhere in my body or all over my body hurted. I tried to take a deep breath but suddenly I started to caugh. The air was so dusty and moist. I slowly opened my eyes and realized I'm lying in a huge cave. And I was not the only one. The children about my age were lying all around me. Some of them seemed nearly dead, some of them sat up looking around suspeciusly and some of them were just scared.
I startled with a sudden impact of one of children. It was a black-haired boy. I would say he is nearly 4 or 5 years old. He was running around looking for his mother and crying. When he saw me "Sorry," he mumbled and kept looking around.
I hestitated for a second. Because in my conditions everything seemed so risky but ahen I saw his face for the second time I slowly held his hand. "Hey, it's fine. Sit down here." I tried to speak with a soft vioce but my voice cracked because of the dusty air all around. I coughed again.
I couldn't believe that the boy listened to me and sat down near by me. I wrapped my arm around him, he was trembling worse than me mumbling "Mommy...".
"Hi everybody!"
It was a man's voice. He seemed dirty and scary to me at first. He had long, sharp nails and matted hair. Than I felt such a weird attraction to him. All the heads turned to him when he spoke again:
"My name is Grayback and I welcome you all to my sweet home!" He smiled. "Firstly, I want all of you to know that you're choosen and gifted. You are choosen to be one of us." Then people seem as dirty as Grayback started to show themselves up behind him. "Now, you have a chance to be a part of my pack."
I couldn't move for a second. I could remember my parents were talking about the risk of werewolfs, but I have never thought about it. I've always thought that the war ended and we are safe.
I realized Grayback and his pack were conming closer to us. The boy hugging me stopped trembling and get further from me to the others. I decided to join them.
Grayback stood in front of us and said "Yes, let's get to know each other!" with a big joy. I didn't know what should I think but tried to do what everyone else does. So I looked at the pack with empty eyes.
The pack was nearly about 5 werewolfs. There were only a woman. The four men stood nearby themselves but woman was standing seperate from them looking around. They were not a perfect pack but as I have heard who Grayback is, I thought they are the last werewolf pack of Britain.
They started to ask us our names and ages, but eoman stayed and started to talk with Grayback. I thought she is someway higher than the others. A man with muscles stood in front of me and smiled. I thought that he is huge. "What's your name?" he asked.
"Amaya." I mumbled. But this time I tried to make some changes and looked at his eyes. His smile widened "How old are you, Amaya?"
"Five." This time I smiled to him too. "And what's your name?" He took a step back but tried to keep his smile "And my name is Ryan. It's very nice to meet you."
As he went to meet the others I started to wait for the pack members with the confidence I gained from talking with Ryan. For one moment my eyes met with Geayback's. The woman near him whispered in his ear, then he smiled at me. I didn't avoid smiling back.
