Phoebes POV

I sat up groaning, sweat trickled down my forehead. My mouth felt like sandpaper, my lips are dry and cracked as I ran my tongue over them. I felt as if I have a hangover. “Ella where are we?” I try to link my wolf. She doesn’t respond. I wipe my forehead with the sleeve of my jacket and I try to work out where I am in this pitch black darkness. Once my eye sight adjusts, I realise I am in a very small prison cell. The tiny room held one small single bed, rusty at that. The mattress stained with unknown substances. The floor is concrete and dirty, I watch as a rat runs by me. I notice my ankle is chained with a silver cuff. That explains why I can’t link Ella. The walls are made of brick, some parts crumbly. I noticed the front of the cell has steel bars, I could see an empty cell across from me. In the corner sat a bucket filled to the brim of faeces and urine. I vomited on the floor beside me.

Recalling my last moments of my memory I was on the mountain. I had turned into a beautiful golden wolf, I am a Queen, I am Royalty. Then remembering someone had came up behind me and held chloroform over my mouth and nose. Who has kidnapped me and why?

I don’t know how long I was sleeping for. I just pray that it's passed lunch and Damon and Jacob know I’m missing and have started looking for me. I hear footsteps approach as the echoes bounce off the walls until they stopped outside my cell. Looking up I gasp when I see who it is. Tom Brown is standing there in front of me, I should have guessed it was him.

“It looks like sleeping beauty has finally awakened” he sneered at me.

“What do you want? Why am I here? And why am I in a cell? I ask walking to the steel bars of the prison and grabbing hold of them.

“You lied little one about having a mate.” He placed his hands over the top of mine. “See we could of done this the easy way. I could have romanced you. Heck I would have treated you right just like the Queen you are. But now with that pretty little mark on your neck I have to find a new way to be able to mark you. But I promise you this, you will be mine and together we will rule the world, Queen Phoebe.” He let out an evil laugh that sent shivers down my back and made me feel uncomfortable.

“We will control all the werewolves and kill all the humans so it’s just our race that is left on this earth.” he continued.

“Your crazy" I sneered at him. He reached through the bars and grabbed hold of my neck and applied a little pressure. Nostrils flaring, teeth clenching as his face goes red “I’m not crazy my Queen. I’ve just been preparing, building us an army. I thought it was Damon that was the elemental wolf. Can you imagine my surprise when we found out it was you? He didn’t even sleep with my Sally.” His cold eyes now had a far away look in them as he kept on rambling “you will become mine by force or by volunteer. Let’s hope it's the later as you don’t want me angry.” He grounds out.

I spat in his face. “I would rather die.” He let go of my neck and wiped at his face then proceeded to open my cell door and then headed my way. He pinned me up against the prison wall with one hand “By force it is then.” He replied as he pulled back his other hand, with a closed fist and punched me in the face. “Beta Gary” he yelled out. “Take this piece of trash to the end of the prison and hose the filth out of her body." He ordered. “Then she might submit to me.” He cackles.

A green eyed, big boned, tall dark, curly haired man came out of no where “Yes Alpha Tom. Am I allowed to have my way after with such a fine looking woman?” he sneered out. “touch her sexually and you will die. Her body is for my pleasure only.” He spat out as he approached him grabbing him by the front of his shirt. “Am I understood?” the man nods his head too afraid to speak. “Anything else that crosses your mind you have my permission.” Alpha Tom proceeds to bend over to unshackle my silver cuff from around my ankle. I punch him in the back of his neck while he is bent over. He goes down but I had forgotten about Beta Gary as he scruffs me by my hair and drags me to the back of the cell. “Feisty little bitch you are aren’t you? I wonder how feisty you will be after me and a few of my friends are finished with you?" his eyes penetrate in to mine leaving goose bumps all over my body as he cuffs me back in silver to the prison wall.

He turns and leaves for a bit to only re-enter with four of his friends. “Alpha is really pissed at you.” He smuggly tells me “Told me to have fun and left. Well, well, well what can we do to our future Queen.” He strum’s his fingers on his face before his eyes go wide as he sports a gleeful smirk. “Strip her bare boys" he commands his friends. I kick my feet at the men who rip and tear at my clothes. I managed to kick one of my attackers in the groin that had him stumbling backwards. I got another one in the face. He came charging at me and barrelled his fists into my body over and over. While the others managed to strip me bare. I was left in just my socks and snow boots. Beta Gary again approaches me licking at his lips eyeing me from head to toe. In his hands he is holding a hose. “Ok boys, stand back I’ve got something that will cool her off." He then blasts me with freezing cold water. The water is arctic like, and feels as if razor blades are hitting at my skin. I don’t give them the satisfaction of making any sounds as the water keeps on blasting me. I focus my thoughts on Damon instead until I feel like I’m a frozen ice block.

I feel something hard slam into my side. It’s one of the men swinging a baseball bat. It hurt like a bitch but that didn’t stop me from ridiculing him “Are you really that weak that you have to use a bat on me?" I laughed at him. I hear the clang of the bat as it hit the concrete floor from where he threw it, then he comes at me with his friends punching into my ice cold body. My upper body copping the brunt of the hits. Swinging my legs up I connected my feet with two of the men under their chins. The force had them spitting blood with a few rotten teeth. “Enough” yelled out Beta Gary. “I don’t want to hurt her too much in case Alpha don’t approve. “But if he don’t” he comes up close to my face his foul smelling breath hitting me in the face as he looked me directly in the eyes “I will be back tomorrow to practise my knife skills.” His voice was full of malice. The hair on the back of my neck stood up only for a moment as I kneed him in the groin. “I will be waiting dog breath.” I taunt him. He grabs hold of my head and slams my head into the brick wall. I saw stars, I may of even vomited but then nothing.

I’m looking in a mirror at myself. No that self has lighter colour hair then me. What the hell? “Phoebe.” It spoke. “Don’t be scared. I’m one of your ancestors, Sophia.”

“Am I dead?” I ask.

“No!” she replies “your unconscious from a blow to the back of your head. I’m here in the dream realm with you. I don’t have much time, so listen carefully. I too was an Elemental Wolf. I was that princess that the vampires didn’t know about all those years ago. You can get out of all this, you just need to have faith in yourself. You don’t need your wolf to guide you, the power is inside of you waiting to be unlocked. Feel and draw on the energy around you and channel your emotions and feelings into that energy and then let it all leave your body through your fingers. To use a particular element think of how that element is. Fire for instance is a burning hot flame, ice is frozen cold water. If you want an earthquake draw the energy out of the ground then imagine the ground splitting and swallowing everything in its path. Draw energy on a small droplet of water then think of it in another form like rain, ice, snow what ever you want you can make it happen all you need to do is concentrate. You can even draw on Damon’s strength through the mate bond as you both can transfer energy to each other. Have faith in yourself and trust your judgement when using your powers, as the goddess made you strong Phoebe. If you can’t fight for yourself or for Damon, fight for the new life that is growing. Remember energy feelings, emotions and channel. When this is all over go back to the hut you was once at. Look for the loose floor board in the bedroom. My diary is in there it will explain everything about who and what you are.”

I woke up back in my cell my head was pounding, I felt sick, and I’m freezing cold. The mongrels couldn’t even spare me a blanket. Looking down at myself I see that I have no clothes on and my body is battered and bruised. Remembering my strange dream and recalling the words spoken I try to focus on healing myself. Holding my hands over my legs I concentrate on letting the energy flow from my finger tips then I let that whole energy flow through the rest of my body. Soon my whole body is back to normal and completely healed, wow it worked.

I try to summon fire. I hold my hand out and try to channel everything into my hands and nothing happens. I try again and still nothing happens. I try to make wind, nothing. I try to lift my body up off the floor but that to I fail, why won’t my powers work? I must be worn out from healing myself. Bringing my legs into my chest and wrapping my arms around my legs I lay my head down on to my knees trying to keep myself warm and I close my eyes.

Damon’s POV

I must have fallen asleep at my desk as I‘m woken by what sounded like Phoebe calling out to me. I knew it couldn’t have been her as she is not here. My body felt like I had a few sparring matches with Jacob on the training fields, and why was I so god damn cold. Getting up I walk to my couch and put my jacket back over me. Taking a glance at my watch I see its only 11.00 pm. Jacob would still be awake so mind linking him I ask if everything was all set for tomorrow. “Yes just getting a few extra things together that I will need. Tessa has died her hair and is now cooking a nice batch of triple chocolate brownies. We will be ready to leave first thing.” Came his fast response.

Back in mine and Phoebes room I pack a bag of clothes and some toiletries. I look at the bed and my heart breaks that Phoebe is not in it. Knowing I won’t be able to sleep I head back down stairs and head out in to the icy cold weather. Transforming in to my wolf we run through the snowy forest until we reach the hot springs.
