Chapter 18 Athena's Pov

• The sounds of large paws thudded on the snowy mountains as I ran with everything I had but it was like I was not even running at all. Everywhere I hid, the thudding got louder. I was so scared. Would they find me? Would I be killed? I ran with everything I had but I was just running in circles. I was lost. I didn't know where I was till I saw a big river. I knew this was the end for me and there was no escaping. I would either jump into this river and drown or possibly die of hypothermia or I would let my pursuers catch up to me, dragging me to who knows where. All through my life, I have never been this scared. I was always a rebellious wolf who never followed simple instructions. I was stubborn, curiosity always got the best of me. What you try to hide from me is what I would be keen to find out. Jackson always tried to keep me out of trouble, but the more he tried, the more I resisted. I always knew I would land myself in trouble but I never knew I would land myself in this much trouble. I was so scared for my life. There are so many things I haven't done and I was still very young to die. Would Jackson notice if I go missing? Would Lucy keep to her word and find help or would I die in this dusty moldy dungeon with nothing but bruises all over my body, the men looking at us like pieces of meat? Someone should please save me. I was drowning and I am not sure if I could be woken up.
• Something was shaking me, pulling me, calling out my name but I was so scared to open my eyes. Who knows where I will be? I wish my parents were still alive, then I wouldn't be going through all this.
• The calling of my name got louder and the shaking got severe as I jolted up, breathing heavily. Looking around, I was surprised to find myself in my bedroom and not in that dungeon. What happened? I thought the nightmares were over. I can't believe I am still having them. When can I return to my happy self again? Would I ever be happy? Would I ever go back to the carefree Athena who saw the world as roses and dandelion? Or would I be trapped inside this web of fear with no one to pull me out?
