KEEFER
I was grabbed roughly as the....whatever it was....gas I guess, started to cut off my air. I'd been late for breakfast, not that that was weird, but my timing sucked. I had no warning, no break to escape. The sudden attack triggered my wolf instinct, and my fangs sank into one of the attackers' arms. My reward having my head slammed into something hard, and my world went black.
I woke up in pain. And it wasn't pain from the attack. This was so much worse...I clenched my teeth to keep from crying out, and noticed they were still wolf fangs. But that thought was soon drowned out by more pain. And....laughter?
"Keefer O'Connor, you are one slippery snake."
Anders! I lunged at him, or tried to. But even if I hadn't been tied down, I didn't have much strength in me. Anders just laughed.
"But I've got you now." He leaned close so I could smell his breath. "You're mine."
That was when I tried to bite his nose off. Almost got it, too. He threw himself back and out of range of my teeth, his cold eyes widening some, than narrowing.
"None of that, boy. Not unless you want your sister to suffer more than she already is?"
"Melina? Where is she you son of a---"
"Now now, temper temper. She's here, of course. Alive and well. Not exactly happy, but not dead. And do you know what might happen if you have more of your temper tantrums?" A wicked smile spread across his face. "Now sleep well. I'll be back later and we can have some more...fun."
A disturbing laugh echoed through the room as he left, one that sent shivers down my spin. I had to get out of here. Had to find Melina, had to...the others. I wasn't the only one taken. But had any gotten away? Some had to. Akira would've killed a dozen of the jerks, I bet. And Griffin...well he could kill you with a look. They were out there....but I wasn't the type to rely on help. I'd find a way out...somehow....

MELINA
I woke from the shelter of my dreams. Strange scents....new ones....not chemicals and mixes like usual. Not quite human, but....werewolf! It had to be! It was close to Keefer's. Not his of course, but close....I wasn't alone in this place after all. I wanted so bad to dance around the room at that thought. But these days, I didn't have the energy to move much at all. It seemed like forever since my kidnappers had brought me here. The only thing that had kept me sane were my dreams. They were filled with strange people, creatures, all looking happy. Well, not always. But free. And Keefer was with them...smiling sometimes. That made me happy. Sometimes, I could pretend I was there too. But then, I always had to wake up. This was the nightmare. That was the real world. That's what I told myself, but I knew it wasn't true.
Keefer, I hope you're okay....I hope you never have to come here....
Then I heard his scream.
