I cracked my eyes open, trying to remember what happened last night. Wherever I was smelled different than what I was used to. It had a strong scent of lemon and antiseptic, and it made my stomach a little queasy. I opened my eyes, and I was surprised to find myself in a bed filled with pillows and blankets. The room was decorated with pink and rainbows, almost like a child’s room. The light was soft and cozy. This was not what I was expecting to wake up to by any means.

ithout my magic, I didn’t know how to get myself out of here. I wondered if I could still transform into my wolf form, but I didn’t know how much good that would do in this room. There were no  windows, and with the door made out of metal, I wouldn’t be able to break through it, even with my wolf strength. I had to figure something out, though. There was too much at stake to just wait around for someone to try and rescue me.
