Nightmares of the Past
This is an older story with a character I no longer own
The stench of blood, fear, anger, sweat, vampire and werewolf filled the air, making the wolven femme gag violently. Numerous voices cheered above her; the loud noise rang painfully in her ears. A whimper escaped her vocal cords as she pawed at her ears. "What are you doing, you stupid mutt? Fight," a harsh voice yelled from behind her. No, this can't be right, the femme thought as she recognized the voice. It belonged to the vampire that had owned her during the six months that she was in the pits. Why am I here? I'm not even supposed to be here... Mom saved me from this place, she thought in despair. How could she be here without knowing? Had she been drugged again?
Sand shifted underneath her light gray paws as she took several steps back. The femme froze in terror as she felt the sand move. The only place where there was loose sand like this was the fighting pit. Which meant... "What's the matter pup, you scared," a male voice mocked in her mind. Sightless gold eyes turn towards a large brown wolf approaching her. Scars littered his body, and patches of his fur were missing. Around his neck was a spiked leather collar, signifying his high rank in the pits. Even without the gift of sight, the femme could tell that this male was powerful, for his scent told of his power.
Her matted, black fur stood on end as she sensed the male crouch down. "You're making this way too easy," his voice played in his mind. With a growl, he leapt at her, aiming powerful jaws at her throat...
Natalya woke up with a start, her entire body shaking. Beside her, a black and white Shetland Sheepdog lifted her head and whined. Shaking her head, Natalya rubbed to her head against the floor of the porch. Unlike the others in the household, the 16 year old femme didn't sleep in her bedroom; she preferred to sleep outside in her wolf form. Struggling to her paws, Natalya scurried into the house and into the bedroom of her aunt Crimson. With a whimper, she climbed into the bed with her aunt and lay down.
