As I opened my eyes, the whole place felt absurd, my body was not different. I struggled to get a clear vision of everything and I could see was darkness engulfing around me like a tornado.

With the blurred vision I had, it was impossible to have a clear view. The hell hole in which I was, was so stinking that I had forgotten how to breath appropriately.

"How the hell did I get here?" was what I kept pondering upon. I heavily jerked my agonizing body and I could barely seat upright.

Every part of my body was suffering as if I was collecting all the pain of the whole universe in me. I was so terrified and filled with panic as I struggled to remain upright. But my body wasn't agreeing with me.

The pains surpassed my fragile body, as I collapsed back on to the ground, as there was no strength to sustain my position. My sore body made the slightest movement cumbersome, I just had to stay in a static position.

Even with that, there was no difference, as my wounds gave an undying pain. I cried as I dwelled on the damp floor, shivering with my fresh scars shredding the ground which was smelly. And to be honest, that was least of my concerns!. 

Uncontrollable, tears rushed down my cheeks fusing with the clotted blood which resulted to red tears sinking down to the floor. I cried blood as I laid restless.

Suddenly, I plugged into my profound thoughts. The last thing I could remember was being attacked by some weird creature at the park. But before then, I was with our assistant CEO.

"OMG!", putting the puzzle together, I realised he was actually the one who attacked me. Who would believe this crab?. I couldn't believe it myself.

As I went on my journey of puzzling the whole thing out, I thought that Perhaps, it wasn't him, but some bizarre creature who adopted his appearance.

"But No!. It was him!" I was so confused. But he was the one who drew me to the back of the park. I felt sensational like I enjoyed something.

I toil as hard as I could to recall what happened at the park this evening, but everything seems incoherent. All I could remember was that, Boris's sudden change left me dumbfounded and horrendous with lots of suffering that I was still feeling on the spot.

It was so far the worst experience I ever had in my life. Why the hell on earth did it have to happen to me?. I have always been a good girl.

In that moment, I recalled it. I was making out with Boris, he was so sweet and nice and I wanted what he was giving so badly that I lost myself in the process, before I could realise, he was all over me like a hungry dog.

His physical appearance had changed, those red blooded eyes looking at me gave me the shock of my life. And when I opened my eyes, there I was lying in an unknown place, abandoned.  

Just when I finally opened up to a man, it turned to be a catastrophe.

I had no clue on where I was. I didn't even know If I was still alive or death. "Maybe I'm in hell paying for all my sins." So I thought. I will never open up to a man in my life again, that's if I'm not really in hell or if I ever get out of this awful place. 

My thoughts got wild every second as I laid in that nasty place. I was losing it. My head and my whole body was burning up. I felt as if I was set ablaze.

"Where the hell am I!." I sobbed as the darkness that engulfed me hovered like evil spirits. 

Again I attempted to raised my heavy body from the ground but the fierce pain from my body made me tumble on the cold nasty slippery ground further hurting myself.

The floor was damn slippery. Feebly, I laid my hands on the ground to gain stability. But it clogged into a coarse vicious sticky substance.

"Burrrkkkkkkkk!!!." It was so nasty, I had to give a nasty cry while lifting my hand to check what it was. The substance thickly dripped off my palms. It reeked worst than rotten eggs. 

I didn't give up as I made another attempt to get up, yet in vain further hurting myself. I finally gave up. Any little attempt I made inflicted more pains and it was excruciating.

I remained steady on the ground whimpering. My body severely hurting.

A few minutes later,

I started crumbling on the ground blurting in agony. Painfully I crawled on the nasty ground like a snail refurbishing my wounds. I cried still I kept on pushing. Yearning bitterly to find an exit to this nightmare. My vision was getting better but I couldn't see clearly.

When I believe I had reached an exit, I found an iron bar and I collapsed to the ground in disappointment. All my efforts in vain. As I lay down looking up, I couldn't find the ceiling. I noticed that the cage was so huge and had bars that could fence a mansion.

"Help! Someone help me!" With my pair of drowsy blurred eyes, crammed with tears, I peeked through the iron bars, hoping to find something or someone to call on but the darkroom made me incapable of recognising anything.

Disheartened, I painfully scanned my mind, if I could recall anything that happened earlier that led me into this shabby place. While thinking I plunged into a deep sleep without releasing it.

A few hours after I had left the unknown lady in the cell, I came back to check on her!. The inauguration wasn't yet over since it was still dawn. But the greatest part had passed.

It was passed 2am, exactly 6 hours since I found her.

"Have you noticed any weird change, it's been hours now?" I asked Sam hoping to get some positive response. I asked without even noticing his absence!.

Sam wasn't by the cell when I came. He was in the woods smoking as usual. He ran and stood by the cell when he reeked my scent from a distance.

"No idea, sir!." he retorted with a guilty glance facing down.

"Shit!." I exclaimed with a cold gaze. I contained my anger, for the respect I had for him. I quickly understood that, he wasn't by the cell since I left him. I hastily barged into the cell with Sam pursuing me.

I was somehow worried about her, reason being that I comprehend how frustrating a mutation could be especially for a human who had no idea am such. I couldn't even imagine how terrified she was.

When I reached the cell, she was deep asleep. Nothing had happened yet. I felt a little bit of relief for her!. 

Generally, after such a deep bite from a wolf, it takes less than 5hours for a complete mutation Or dead!.

Normally, human victims rarely survive the mutation process. Many die after the bite, and the few who survive the bite hardly survive half of their first mutation process. 

There is another third scenario which happened only in very rare cases, this is when the victim gets immunised!. That's, they're not dead and no mutation occurs. This occurrence makes them become a new species which are rare in all clans.

They are called "lux mortuorum" and are very extraordinary beings. But what is more extraordinary about them, is their mutated blood!. Their lives are always at risk.

I remained dumbfounded as I could still feel her breath but no sign of any transformation.

"Weird!" Sam exclaimed. He couldn't believe his eyes either.

"We could wait for a few hours she might transform!" I thought aloud. "You are right sir." Sam murmured.

"If not, we shall release her tomorrow morning!. Perhaps the bite wasn't as deep as we thought. If that's the case she will urgently need some medical treatment if not she might die from the pains this time!." I concluded.

"Sir, it's dangerous!. What if we release her and she later mutates out there with no one to monitor her?." Sam got cautious, as usual, he couldn't risk anything like that.

"So what do you suggest?. Leave her in this cage like some dog!. Sam, she has no idea about this world and it will be a very bad idea to abandon her here all by herself!. And in other terms this is kidnapping!." I got emotional while speaking out my mind.

I never asked to be a wolf so I didn't want anyone to feel the frustration I felt every single day of my life.

"Sir, but...!...." Sam tried to dissuade me. I couldn't let him say what he was about to say. "I will take care of that!." I boycotted his words. Sam remained quiet at the cold sound of my voice.

We went outside and sat to give some time to the ladys. We sat waiting to see if there would be an advancement in her mutation process. 

Regardless of that, It was just the perfect opportunity not to go back home and club with my clan members. So staying here was my escape moment.

More to that, I didn't know why I felt that way, but I truly wanted to help the young lady. I guess It was because it's the first day of December. My best season of the year!. A month of celebration, sharing, generosity and love!.

I guess so!.
