Remembering you

Alice - I watched terrified as fire forked around the cabin, eating through the walls and furniture. I shifted immediately, but the manacles were too tight for my wolf feet. I could just grow claws and hair. I tried to pry off the manacles in my hybrid form, but it did not budge. "Help!! Lucian!" I screamed. The smoke was too thick to breathe. Even with my enhanced senses, I was unable to see anything through the thick haze. It was just like 15 years back, nine-year-old me running through the fire and smoke. The feeling of utter helplessness came over me when I thought maybe Lucian was so pissed off that this was his doing? He could not be that mad at me to kill me? Tears welled up in my eyes, yanking me out of my stupor and back into the world of feeling. I heard frantic howls from outside. Then the heat, raw emotion, and pain were too much to bear, then everything turned black. ------±++++±--------------------------------------- 15 years ago - ------±++++±----------------------------
