1 Hide and Sneak
"Running"
That is all I ever do these days.Sometimes someone is chasing after me and most times like now ,I am chasing after my dreams.They are not visible to the eyes of the wolves, no, their powerful noses couldn't even sniff a scent of my great goals.One day, just one day and I will be able to leave this Goddess forsaken place.
Everyday feels like a war to me,I never pick a card.No. They just shove the struggles onto my hands and ask me to pick one of the demons I will deal with for the day. Weird part is there is no two sides to a coin, actually no, there is ...except , both sides lead to my doom or in most cases ...All roads lead to R...Death?.
Anyway enough with the therapy session.I need to run fast and arrive home in time so that I can start dealing with today's demons. Cooking and cleaning.Literally face pawed ,well....since I'm in my wolf form and all. In all honesty I don't understand why we have to live like humans and do all those unnecessary mundane tasks. A bed is of cause more comfortable than some tree brunches but we are wild dogs, we should be able to suck it up. And school...., don't even get me started, like why am I put in that trap house when at the end of the day I will be expected to help my mate and possibly even take care of my future kids here at the pack house?. All of this is just weird. Sometimes I wish I was a dog. In fact, I could pose as one and have those humans worship me . A man's best something I heard...., free food , run all I want , nice cozy bed and in return I just have to lick their face and bark at a few birds and strangers. Everyone who doesn't feed me would be a stranger so I'll just bark at whatever or whoever approaches my little human slave.
I am an Omega, apparently I am at the bottom catergory of the werewolf world. So, I can make a pass for a fake German sheep...ard? or a Samoye....
"Gail!"
"Oh shizz"...that sounds like my mum. She is a kind woman, don't fret cause I just cursed when I heard her call my name. I just hate that she always tries to sweet talk me in a very unpleasant way.No really, She literally sounds very calm and considerate , but her words indicate pure and deep hate. If I did not have the same fur and blue eyes as her, I would have long thought she was not my mother. At least She is not so open with her hatred towards me. My other family members on the other hand treat me like trash.My Grandmother and Grandpapa from my mother's side hate me more. They have even told me straight to my face that they wish I didn't exist. I am and I quote "an abomination" that is according to their words.
"I'm coming , just a few seconds and I will be there." I send her a mind link.
"3,2,1...."
"Just where have you been!?" she starts talking before my paws even hit the ground she is standing on.
"Do you know how worried I get when you disappear without telling me where you went?, Your father will be the one to deal with you next time you decide you want to become the next Dora!, you have responsibilities Gail, you can't just leave when you want to. A pack works in numbers and currently we need you to do your part and wash the afternoon dishes and clean the kitchen and living room. Am I clear!?" she commands.
"YOU DO ALL THE DISHES THOUGH"....oh! I almost forgot to introduce someone special.My wolf Terra. I love him and he loves me. I have him and he has me.We are bonded by the moon Goddess and will literally die together and fun part is..we are not even mates.He is a spiritual part of me that manifests into a pure Snow White wolf with light blue eyes at command...or since we are bros and all , at request.
"You are right", I sigh and say to him.
"Yes. Good to know that you understand", responds my mother. " I will now go check on Mrs Rose and her Daughter, I hear she has found her mate , I wonder who the unlucky man is .I would die than marry a vegan!"....Don't ask how a wolf is vegan. I will explain later.
On her way out, Kadija, who is my mother stopped and looked at me up and down .Her face displaying disgust and disappointment , before She disappeared around the corner I heard her say.
"I wonder which dumping site will end up with trash like you.You are not even recyclable ".
Well that sucked.
"DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT,DON'T KEEP IT IN YOUR HEAD. THEY ARE THE TRASH, NOT YOU.YOU HAVE ME IN YOU.WE HAVE US, AND WE MAY BE INVISIBLE TO THEM BUT SOON WE WILL BE INVINCIBLE .I AM HERE GAIL BLANCO. IF YOU CAN'T PICK YOUR WEIGHT , I TERRA WILL BE THERE TO HOLD YOU UP.SO DON'T GIVE UP YET, WE WILL SOON GET OUT OF HERE "....Terra interrupts my train of dark thoughts.
That is very cool! I exclaimed. Hey...do you think maybe we should try to study psychology instead of trying to join sports at school?
"NOT A CHANCE, I LOVE SEEING MY FUR LOOKING LIKE A WEDDING VEIL DANCING AND PRANCING THROUGH THE WOODS .BUT WEIRD TALK ASIDE, YOU NEED TO GO COMPLETE THE MISSION AND WE CAN GO STALK THE ROGUE HUNT AND PACK PATROL...."
Sir yes Sir ! I pretend to make a little salute and marched to the kitchen.
Oh my Goh....what is this?!!!!.....In front of me I can't tell where the mess starts or ends. We are only four people, NO, We are only four werewolves living here. Why does it look like rouges broke in and smashed the place up!?. This is intentional. I wonder if it was my brother Ray or my mother who was having a baking experiment in the kitchen. There is sticky flour on the L shaped kitchen surface and floor. Poor, poor floor....I mopped it last night and ...what the hell was she or they trying to make...?!!!! Arghhhh I am soo leaving this fucking place!. Picking up the mixing bowl from the dish sink, I start my battle of the day.
***3 hours later***
We are definitely going to miss the hunt today. I was now defeated. The kitchen and living room combined gave me a kick I didn't sense coming. I can't .....I'll just go up and lie down for a few minutes and then we will go . I am exhausted. Now more than ever I understand that Cinderella girl. Poor us. Too bad I can't loose a shoe at a wolf gathering and find a Prince Charming , firstly because we don't wear shoes unless we go to places with humans and secondly , I certainly don't like events.
As I lie my head down and my mind starts to wonder , I'm at least great full my family did not kick me out when they found out I am Bi-sexual.They don't like it , but they said the moon Goddess is never wrong. I guess it is good that they are believers . I on the other paw think she is soo wrong!, She is definitely enjoying seeing me pay for the mistake of her making me different. Although, now I think I would have survived just fine in the woods, the only hard part which is the major part would be that when I reach my eighteenth birthday I will attract even the king of hell if they were an Alpha. When my scent starts to sprout and call out my mate . Another problem I will have to face in my daily life, and also ...how am I going to let a stranger touch me when I so loath physical contact?!.
"GAIL! GET UP, WE HAVE TO GO!, THE PACK IS LEAVING. COVER YOUR SCENT AND FOLLOW.....GAIL!!"....
Alright alright , I'm up! ...geez... you are in my head you know. No need to be so loud !
As I stood up I realised that my mum was coming home , I can smell her scent and expensive perfume from a mile away. I better leave now or I won't ever get to leave this house, I still have to cook but , I'll take the grounding later. What are they going to do to me anyway?. Make me sit? ... I already do everything here so nothing really is punishment.
***in the woods***
"CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUMPED OUT THE WINDOW AGAIN ... WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DELICATE OMEGAS GAIL!!!....Terra says in serious voice but immediately after saying this, Him and I broke into a laughter.
"Delicate "...I thought, my face naturally putting on a smirk followed by a low chuckle . Before I could ready myself to start spying on the betas, deltas and Alphas ... I hear a voice behind me ....
"Well who do we have here ?...if it isn't...wait... who the hell are you? "
Oh Shizz!... this is the real Oh! Shizzz!!! If I'm not mistaken, the voice behind me belongs to non other than ...
I don't know what to do, I'm normally more sneaky and quite. I guess I should have laughed inside my head. Great going Gail Blanco. You definitely are in trouble now. Slowly I start turning towards the voice. I stare at my paws intensely and hope the earth parts and swallows me. Ignoring the fear inside my head telling me to run! I do the best I can to put on a fake brave smile and face the Alpha's son.
"Hey Yoh Arian ! What is good man!". Nope , there is no mastermind behind this, I am the one dealing the cards and I still managed to get myself a death sentence! Goddess help me.
