Pov: Enzo

Time flew by, but I could not sleep. The dream kept haunting me every time I closed my eyes. Time slowly ticked by, within a few hours, hunger started to eat at me. I should probably eat something. But I don't want to get in trouble. So I probably shouldn't.

The door suddenly flew open and startled me. Next, a grown-up version of Natalie walked in. Her eyes caught mine. She looked at me and gasped. Teary-eyed, she runs toward me. I freeze expecting to be hit or something, so I awaited the impact. Though the only I felt was the impact of her crushing hug.

"I am so sorry," she said: sobbing. I wanted to comfort her. But my word would not form. After she was done crying, she pulled away and smiled. "Are you hungry?" Her question stuns me though I somehow find a way to move my head and nod. "Good, I came to get you and Mr. Sleepy for dinner," she laughs and whispers, "Mr.Sleepy wake up are miss dinner." I giggle at that. "Welp... I tried! Let's go, Enzo." She grabs my hand and takes me to the dining hall. She leads me to a small table, "Here, take a seat."

I sit down and, Natalie leaves. She comes back a few minutes later with two plates. She sits one in front of me, then takes a seat across from me. I'm not sure if I am allowed or supposed to eat but, the food smells so good and, I am so hungry. To test the waters. I take a small bit, then I waited. When I was sure it was safe to eat. I dug into my food.

The dining room slowly began to fill up, making me nervous. Sometime in the rush of it all, Nathan joined us. Natalie and Nate helped ease some of my nerves. But being in a room with so many people had not only me but Lowe on edge too.

I did not see nor smell Lycos come into the room, so when he touched my shoulder. I was so startled that I fell out of my seat. He kindly offered his hand to help me off the floor.

When I touched his hand and, an electric shock traveled up my arm. It didn't hurt but felt nice. Lycos just smiled and shrugged when I gave him a questioning look about what had just happened.

Lycos sat right next to me and, Lowe just wanted to have some sort of contact with him. But I held Lowe back. I did not trust Lycos yet. Honestly, I do not trust anyone. After so many years with that pack, it is so hard to trust. 

The dining room slowly emptied as the others finished their food. Soon leaving the room to just me, Nate, Natalie, and Lycos. Nate, Lycos, and Natalie looked like they were in some sort of staring contest with one another. They were likely talking to one another through their mind link.

"Enzo, Honey," Natalie touched my hand and smiled. "We are going to take you to the pack doctor. Is that alright?"

DOCTOR!! No, I don't do doctors. Doctors are bad news. The last time I went to the doctor still gives me nightmares. I refuse.

I shook my head and crossed my arms. "Enzo. You have to go. The doctor can give you medicines and tell us how to make you healthier. It's important, to make sure you don't have any internal injuries.

Nate sighed, "We really didn't want to force you to do anything." Suddenly Lycos scooped me into his arms, which gave me quite the startle. I wanted to freak out and get out of his arms but I also did not want to be dropped. There was no way out of this situation. :(

By the time we arrived at the infirmary. I was shaking and on the edge of a full-blown panic attack. But I knew better than to have a panic attack. Panic attacks lead to beating. I started counting imaginary dots to calm myself.

When the doctor came towards me, I stopped counting and was on high alert. "Hello, Enzo. My name is Dr. Jay. Let's get to going, shall we?"

The time in the infirmary has left me drained mentally and physically. Lycos had to carry me back to the room because I was too tired to even move. When he had placed me on the bed. I fell into a haunting sleep.

He had no internal injuries. The only problems were he was malnourished and sleep-deprived. His bruises would eventually fade.

I was relieved but angry that they could and would do that to someone. I hope that everyone from that god damn pack was killed.

The doctor also said that Enzo was suffering from a panic disorder, PTSD, and insomnia. It is all trauma-related. There is a chance he could also be suffering from depression. That would need more testing and, Enzo was already so tired. It would just have to wait for later.

When we left, he was already almost asleep. By the time I had laid him in the bed, he was knocked out. Not wanting to burst his bubble or go over boundaries. I made myself a little set up on the floor and fell asleep peacefully knowing, that I had fulfilled my promise and had my mate sleeping safely out of harm's way.

A man arrives at the ruins of his pack. He is wondering what has happened. Frantically he looks around to see if they are any survivors. He finds none. He looks around the mass of dead bodies and instantly knows that someone is missing.

With a dangerous look in his eyes, he fades back into the shadows. He lets out a laugh into the darkness. "I'm coming for you," he called into the night. His voice fades and, silence takes over. 

A war was brewing...
