Thank you!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The night seemed so holy without blemish as cool and smooth breeze creeped into the room, soothing my skin with every sense of humility. The dark sky was aglow with bright stars in their graceful positions, illuminating the earth, awake and sleepless. I was about to sleep but I realised I needed to bring in my clothings from the line outside. I quickly got out of my bed, went out, brought all in, and went back inside. Lying on my
Mr and Mrs Smith, my foster parents, and their awesome kids, Jayla and Mella, were such excellent people and a family to me which I never had; my stay with them was such a wonderful and pleasant one which I had always prayed and wished for since my parents left me at that very tender age I was, leaving me to my fate in life to God knows where. All alone. The thought of losing them has now become a very terrifying nightmare for me, and finding myself in this godforsaken place had become the worst of them all, abandoning me in shambles.The rustling of leaves and chirping of the night birds left me even more devastated. All hope was lost, no one to come to my aid, neither could I help myself. I wished I could. Life has become so cruel to me that I wished I could just put an end to it all right now.. I carefully looked around, searching for what I could help myself with but found none. The gulch was empty, totally dry of any aid."What a cruel world!" I cried out, reminiscing all my e
"A rogue..? No no no no noooo.. I-I-I'm not a r-rogue…" I quickly replied fumbling, as if I knew who or what a rogue was. "Please.. kindly forgive me, I'm so sorry…" I implored.My apologies kept spilling out from my mouth unending at the thought of that 'rogue', trying to explain myself. Suddenly, two other guys came out from nowhere, held me from behind and was just about rough handling me when a voice spoke, "Let her go!" I squirmed, trying to see who it was, but saw no one. They didn't let me. It didn't seem like that was going to be possible as their clasps on my arms were tightly fixed. "I said, release her… Right now! And I mean, now…!" Now the voice was close, I wheeled my head since that was the only part of me I could turn. It was that same girl.They quickly obeyed and pushed me against an erect but dead tree.I screeched. Not really because I was hurt, but because I felt I was going to die. I felt no pain of any sort.My upper lip tore open a bit by the side, with on
Few years down the line, now fully acclimatized with this new home environment of mine, I've now become a full grown teenager, almost leaving that stage for the life of adulthood.17years of age. The day was gradually going down and it became cold.. the type of coldness that reached into my bones, as if my heart was a door left wide open to the icy wind, slamming only to open again. The only thing to do was to keep being covered, as frost grew over the windows even as the duvet kept me warm a bit. I watched the ice-crystals grow and glow in the almost dark sky for a while, allowing my brain to be empty of any kind of worry, content to exist and be. "The morning would bring the beauty of the ice for sure, that crunch under boot and the bold greeting cold air brings." I encouraged myself as I watched the evening sun cast long shadows on the ground. The slanting rays of the setting sun gave a warm orange tinge to the sky.Gradually, all faded, and before I could process and understand
Right from my reverie, my eyes shot open! "W-what t-th-, um-mm why did you strike me that hard..? Don't you know it hurts..? What did I do…?" I bawled out! "Woo.. woo…That's indeed a great standpoint! But h-h-old on… girl… What were you thinking about, staring into oblivion, looking all lost and drained?" She shoved her hand into her mini bag, "here, just take a good look at yourself, you've automatically developed hollow eyes! See yourself..? Take, take a look!" She brought out a little mirror, and stretched it to me. "Well, I'm done buying the snacks. Here, take." She handed over to me, the fancy polythene wrapper in her other hand. My acceptance was quite poor, not knowing what exactly was inside the bag, neither was her face looking bright as she released it out. I opened it partly, and saw it was a crispy sweet Danish pastry with a filling of apple and raspberry. The aroma was supposed to be heavenly, yet I didn't notice. "I was only trying to inform you that it's almost t
I recalled I never asked Belletta what she meant by that word, 'rogue'. Though I had a little idea about it, but needed to know more. I had to ask. "You just called me a rogue. Sorry, please, who's a rogue, and why did you call me that?" Confusion drenched me this time. Funnily enough, he lulled. I wondered what he was thinking. Maybe that question was quite strange or funny to him as it's believed that all must know about that in the pack. "Okay, just come with me, let's get out of here first." He said, holding my hand, but I pulled it back. I was worried, terribly worried, and I had no idea what was going on and who he was; but all I needed at that time was help to find my way out of that forest. I followed immediately. He took me into his hut, there I met some others, one male and two females. They looked quite friendly, but I didn't really need to trust them right now. "This is our secret, little space; a place we cal-" he paused as he pointed at the others, and conti
"A werewolf hybrid…? A different specie…? How? Why? How possible is that, and how come no one ever told me that? But I've been living a normal life since but werewolves don't… right..?" Questions Questions Questions My head exploded like a bomb was blasted in there. "Hey Irisha," I snapped as Lili called me. "You know what, just be calm, you'll get to know more about yourself soon; it's not something you're going to learn about in just a single day. Okay?" She said, as she came back to me again, and helped me out from the ground. "You're going to be fine. Okay?" She said, nodding her head. I was just there, imagining how my new life was going to be, my mind racing to different directions. A soft tap came on my skin, and I jerked back to normal. "Now it's time to get a new look for you; you need to freshen up, you're not looking nice like this." Lili suggested, as if she was looking dazzling herself. I admit, I was dirty. Walking a few metres away from me, to somet
It felt like the earth was going to open up and swallow us up. I flinched and wailed as I twisted to my side; just by the same right side I saw nothing initially. It was a scary looking and roughly dressed, quite aged woman. Her hair was black, with stripes of white patches on it. Its length was almost touching her calf. I looked at the two guys who brought me here, but from their facial expressions, I didn't need anyone to tell me that they were excited to see her. "Move over here!" The woman commanded, making an eerie sound. Her set of teeth was jam-packed as she opened her mouth to speak; the color was so horrible and spooky. I pondered on how the smell of that mouth would be like with those teeth and black tongue in there. Grouchy! Hesitantly, I took a step but froze afterwards, thinking of what to do next. That place was off, I swear! I glared around, then ran off to meet Beta Bachrill. OMG!!! "Please, what's this for? Who's she..? And why is she asking me to com
