Fight day.It was today.A week later has felt like a year.But it's finally here. I lay awake in bed staring at the ceiling.I didn't want to sleep, but Damon insisted, he said I need rest to be at my best today.So I'm here at 2am trying to rest since sleep has inadvertently evaded me, while Damon paces all over the house, doing goodness knows what.He's restless, I know.We all are. Even though we don't actually leave until 4pm, it's been impossible to relax. I haven't slept for almost two days now, but sleep was so far from me.I was going to take the lead. Locate the 'sanctuary' as they call it, by myself, and then have Damon and the rest follow my trail a little while later. How was I feeling right now? Scared?No.Anxious? Yes. I want to get it over with.Angry? Well, let's just say that whatever we have planned for them, they've got it coming.I spoke to Sorayah on the phone yesterday, she's already trying to make it back but I'm not sure what time she'll get here.It's
Thank you all for reading. *****I was standing in a corner of a very beautiful house, shaking. I was scared, absolutely terrified, but I didn't know of what's ahead. I saw a couple, probably in their thirties, back up into the other corner of the room I was standing in. The man was badly injured, the woman less so, both bleeding, a look of sheer terror on their faces. A very nasty loud and vicious growl was heard from behind. This caused the woman to weep even more and the man, who could barely even stand up tried to shield her with his last strength. I hid myself further behind the curtains that were shielding me. Tears were streaming down my cheeks and I couldn't stop the scream that erupted from me as a large creature pounced on them ripping them to shreds in a matter of seconds. When the beast was done, it started to walk away, its head completely doused in blood. Then it abruptly came to a halt a couple of metres away from the bloody scene and sniffed the air. It slowly tur
I got home from school that day in a bad mood. I was late to school because I accidentally broke my alarm clock the day before, I got detention, my history teacher gave me a whole crap load of homework and my bike broke down on my way home so I had to walk the rest of the journey, in the rain. What a great birthday. So I got home in a bad mood, obviously, but it turned around when I saw the surprise birthday party for me. It wasn't really a party, but there was food, drinks, a cake,my parents and my five year old sister who was busy ogling my cake. That was good enough for me. It really made me happy, and I even got a car for my birthday since I was now qualified to get a license. We had a lot of fun that night and when I went to sleep my parents and my little sister, Gabriella, came and gave me kisses on my forehead. We love you sweetie, happy birthday' My mother had said before they exited my room. I fell asleep feeling content with myself, not knowing how little those words
Five minutes later Alpha Derrick and Luna Kelly walked in, with Michael hanging onto his Mother's neck and Gracie on her dad, squealing as he tickled her.They finally get seated and Rose, the cook, serves the food. My favorite, steak and baked potatoes. The food got passed around by Rose and some other kitchen workers.Joshua, her son, also helps out at times and I can't always help but notice how he gives Mavis an extra large serving of food.He definitely has a crush on Mavis, but Mavis, being two years older than him, has decided to just see him as a little brother. But I guess the smile she gives him anytime he serves her a plate suffices for him. His cheeks get all pink and he can't look her in the eye and moves on to serve the next person, me. Who begrudgingly gets less food than the former.I'm pretty sure if she keeps smiling at him like that, one day he's just gonna give her all the food and leave the rest of us to fate.I can't blame him though, Mavis is beautiful and has s
'Pssst, Adriane? Are you awake?" Mavis said whilst poking my ribs, stirring me awake from my short and uncomfortable nap"I am now." I said groggily while sitting up, the ground cold and hard underneath me."Good." She smiled at me. It was amazing how she still found it in her to actually smile."What is it?" I asked her once I noticed her expectant expression."I'm bored." she pouted.I gave her a blank look. "And?"She shrugged and just repeated her statement that she was bored."Gee May" I said as I rubbed my left eye, "I had no idea you were interested in entertainment before execution."She frowned at me.'There isn't much to do as a prisoner, so you're gonna have to suck it up and wait till they end our lives." I said. No need for any sorta sugar coating.'Wow, Adriane, always looking at the positive side of things." Mavis said, sarcasm lacing each word.Well, there was nothing remotely positive about this situation and I wasn't about to convince myself otherwise, just to be let
One of the males let out a fierce and gruesome growl breaking the eerie silence. It didn't take long before a silver bullet was lodged into his skull. And just like that, he slumped to the ground. "Anyone else?" The Alpha dared us to speak. The whole room was silent. But it was more of a shocked silence, well for me anyway. I didn't even have it in me to be scared anymore. We all knew what was coming now. Confrontations between packs always ended badly. It's either you come out the victor or you die. There's nothing in between. And based on our stance right now, it's safe to say that we've lost. We've lost more than just a fight. 'Good, now, where is the group from the Alpha's house? Royals first." and with that we were being pushed up to the front of the room in a line, side by side. The Alpha walked up to the first person, that happened to be Evelyn. He studied her carefully. Evelyn looked him straight in the eye, her head held high. She clearly wasn't intimidated by him, or
I woke up to the scent of fresh bread filling my nose.I didn't know how long we'd been here, but it felt like days. It most definitely had to be some days, a couple at least. We were starving and dehydrated and my mind felt all sorts of cloudy, I couldn't even think straight.Was there even oxygen in this place?I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes just in time to see one of the guards shove two loaves of bread on a metal pan into our cell."What's that?" I asked, sleep still clouding my eyes."Breakfast." he said and started walking away but then he stopped and after a long pause he added, "Lunch ... and Dinner." he smiled at me."You've got to be kidding me." Mavis muttered, rubbing her eyes as well.'No, I'm not. Enjoy." and with that the guard left, continuing to shove bread into cells.Once the guard was out of earshot, or so I guessed, I spoke up. "They're feeding us now?" It seemed strange to me. Or maybe a last meal sort of thing?Mavis looked over at me and shrugged. "I guess s
A completely severed link would only leave room for grieving for the people we've lost, but not like the feeling we had initially of literally having lost your actual head, like you don't know how to go on, like it was impossible.My knowledge on some of these things wasn't too extensive, but I believed that's basically what was happening to us.We live in a kill or be killed world. That's just how it is.Nature's way of taking care of us, again, making sure that life would go on, that life can go on.Helping us grief intensely and thoroughly, but not forever.But this was me, I can't even imagine what the others were feeling, even with the help of a fading bond, there would still be so much sadness for the loss.Which is probably why the dark thoughts seem to be desperately pushed to the back of our minds now."But now that I think of it, I am quite hungry." Mavis said.'Oh no you don't." I said sitting down and pointing a warning finger at her."Maybe you could ask your mate to brin
