Chapter Two

Mated To The Dragon- Chapter Two

Scarlett's nose pulled up in attempt to block

out the horrid smell. She would have to

ignore it. As much as it twinges her to know

that someone else was being dealt the deck

of cards she had numerous times before, she

remained in place.

Surely, leaving would be instant death by The

Grinder. And she wanted to live.

So for the next few minutes, she ignored it all,

trying desperately to get some sleep on her

cold, uncomfortable little rock.

With no avail, the sore Omega struggled to her

feet. She looked around, assuring herself that

no snitches would be awoken to witness her

department.

Light snores still echoed around the night,

and besides the cricket chorus that had been

going on for hours, there was just the restless

shuffling of her pack members.

Scarlet had learned to use her tininess to her

advantage. She was underweight, having

being attacked if she even dared to come close

to fresh meat, (Even though she were the one

who risked her life to fetch food in the first

place) and she had to settle for roadkill. The

decaying meat did nothing for her hunger and

would sometimes make her sick.

Being held out from food meant she was

small and feeble; light on her toes. It was

fairly easy to crawl behind the cave where

her Alpha and Luna were bedded down. She

took soft cautious steps, memorizing the rocky

platform and taking her time to place one foot

in front of the other.

She knew where the cliff was within the

darkness, and she knew where the stones

were weak and cracking. Gracefully and

silently, Scarlet hopped off of the cliff, landing

gently on her feet.

Once more, she looked around for any signs

that she were to be caught.

Everyone was still asleep.

With a small sigh of relief, she toed off. When

she was far enough, her careful walk dashed

into a full sprint, and within seconds, her

paws paddled through the dirt.

Leaves crunched beneath her, creating

another noise to blend into the night. Rocks

poked at the padding of her feet. Her breath

came out in short spanned pants, and her

tongue rolled out of her mouth as it did

everytime she ran in wolf form.

Scarlett's dingy white coat rippled and

bellowed behind her as the wind sliced

through her fur. She felt a small bit of

freedom, but the fear of being caught leaked

through the barrier she kept up.

She couldn't.

As she distanced herself from her pack, she

wondered why she was being so stupid. She

no traces afterwards.

Maybe it was a newborn? Scarlet heard that

newborn Vampires could be vicious creatures,

killing without a mercy available.

The Omega took a whiff of the air again.

No, the perks of being a newborn Vampire

was that you still had the scent of a human

until your days prolonged. She knew for a

fact this did not belong to a Vampire, nor a

Werewolf... so what caused so many deaths?
