The Beta’s Regret

As soon as I fell asleep, it felt as though something awakened-like I came alive in the darkness.

I turned, there was nothing around me.

My baby! Where was my baby boy? And Beauty, Adonis? Where were they?

I panicked, searching wildly in the darkness, my breaths grew heavier.

Suddenly the ground beneath me gave way. With a scream, I began to fall into an abyss. I was sinking, and stretched out my hands to hold something, anything that would keep me from falling father, but all I felt was empty air.

Fear gripped me and my heart raced faster. I screamed louder, but there was no response. The only sound was my voice echoing in the distance.

Suddenly, a force pulled me out of the darkness into thr light. It felt as though my body was squeezed and suddenly dumped on the ground.

I landed on my feet with a slight stumble but somehow kept my balance.

I shielded my eyes from the sudden bright light and gave myself a moment to adjust before dropping my hands to look around me.

My eyes widened in surprise.

I was back at the Arena.

How was this even possible? A few minutes ago I had just given birth on the forest floor, and now I'm here?

The strangest thing was that everything looked like the past, from before the sky went dark or when it rained.

I looked at where I sat when I arrived at the arena. It was empty.

I frowned. None of this made sense. But then, life had been that way recently. Nothing made sense to me.

I noticed something strange. The Arena was quiet. Everyone was looking in horror at the open ring.

I moved closer, and held my breath. What I saw made my heart leap into my throat.
