part of a much larger army we’d sorely underestimated.
    Without a word, Jason moved toward my cage, keys in hand. My heart pounded furiously as he continued to advance on me. My fight or flight instincts kicked in, and I remembered the rock shard in my pocket. Even with my senses and abilities muted slightly, I knew I had to do everything in my power to get the hell out of here and get Cordelia somewhere safe. I couldn’t worry about not getting very far.
    Sneering, he reached for me. I darted to the right in an attempt to get around him, but he moved faster, grabbing the back of my neck and hauling me back into my cage. I stumbled back a few steps, trying to figure out the next logical move when he went to grab me again. This time, before he could touch me, I grabbed his wrist and slammed my open palm into the outside of his taught arm, snapping the elbow inward. He roared out in pain, but this didn’t stop him like it had Karl all those weeks ago. He shook it off as best he could, eyed me with a murderous glare, and with an animalistic snarl, lunged for me when I made a break for the open cell door. He got to me first, grabbing onto the length of my hair and yanking me backward, then he leapt in front of me, slammed the door shut and advanced on me again. I’d pissed him off, and I was glad; he was more apt to mess up the angrier he became.
    I managed a few solid hits to his face, and when he seemed particularly disoriented, I reached into my pocket and grabbed the sharp rock before grabbing him by the throat and holding him against the bars.
    “Give me the keys,” I commanded, pressing the rock into his jugular. He only laughed, so I pushed harder until the first cut was made. His putrid blood seeped out, the black-red substance thick and sticky as it leaked over my make-shift weapon. I tried not to gag when a little of it got on my knuckles.
    “Eat me,” he snarled, leaning into the blade, practically daring me to behead him.
    Then I remembered he had shoved the keys into his left pocket upon opening my cell, so, with the blade firm against his neck, I reached into his pocket, fishing for them. I had barely looped the tip of my finger through the ring when the agile little shit lifted a leg between us and pressed the bottom of his foot into my ribcage, shoving me back with so much force, I hit the back wall. My head smacked against the stone with a sickening crack, stunning me briefly, and all the air was forced from my lungs as I dropped my rock shard somewhere.
    I was unable to focus my eyes, I knew I had to shake it off, but all I could focus on was the heavy pulsing of my brain against my skull. Soon, the weight of this monster’s arms were against my chest, pushing so hard I struggled to breathe.
    Jason leaned in close, his thick blood dripping on my arms as I lifted them to try and push him away; it was no use, though. I was weakened from the fight and lack of nourishment. His smile sickened me, and the gleam in his eyes alluded to ill intentions as he licked his lips and let his gaze wander over me.
    His body moved closer to mine, and I wished I wasn’t pressed right against the wall so I may have had somewhere else to go. I continued to writhe beneath his hold on me, but this only seemed to spur him on as he pressed his hips into mine.
    “I’ll give you bitches one thing,” he groaned, his free hand pushing my hair from my sweaty face before moving it down over my neck, his thumb pressing into the hollow of my throat. I clenched my eyes shut when his cold, clammy hand cupped my breast, and I struggled against him again. “Your bodies are fucking awesome. Bettered by becoming a wolf. It’s not the same for us. We just get stuck in whatever body we died in.” His hand continued its journey until he reached the button on my jeans. “I’ve always wondered what it might be like to fuck one of your kind.”
    I fought back tears, hating that I was put in this situation again…but then I remembered how
