Run. Before fate catches up (Under Reconstruction)

Chapter 4: The plan and the perfect chance

'Jay! We need a plan!' I said as I firmly shook him. The stupid asshole kept falling asleep.

How could he fall asleep at a time like this; in the middle of making an escape plan. He was supposed to be the werewolf! I suppose we had kinda been up all night, but i'm not making excuses for him!

'Whoah, Marley! Your actually pretty strong to say your not a werewolf' Jay murmered sleepily.

'Pfft!' I huffed, slapping him as hard as I could on the back of his head.

Result! I thought as he jerked up. Now wide awake and alert.

We discussed for hours, before Jay left to go train.

'seeya later' I called after him, more cheery than usual. This time because I had hope. Hope of escaping this hell.

After a full day of chores, and a run in with my father I was exhausted.

As soon as my head hit my thin mattress I instantly fell into a deep sleep.

My eyesight was crystal clear, as I looked down on my father, who was on his knees in front of me and I seemed taller than usual, focusing on my father I realised there were tears streaming down his face in waterfalls as, he clasped his hands infront of him and simply said 'I have always loved you, my precious.'

Jerking upwards, I realised it was all a dream 'I have always loved you,' Yeah right I thought! But those words haunted me...

'I have always loved you,'

'I have always loved you,'

'I have always loved you,'

And they continued to throughout the day. After making the pack's lunch, and all had left, I went around quickly clearing the plates... trying to scavenge anything that had been left.

When a beautiful happy giggle filled the air...

Whizzing around, making my hair fly out behind me, I looked to see who it was.

I was shocked by what I saw.

It looked like me... when I last looked at myself anyway...

This little girl, was obviously a little sister I had never seen or heard of! Why didn't Jay tell me! I made a mental note to tell him off later.

Without a fear in the world, she skipped up to me happily and stopped about a foot away, and outstretched her tiny hand eagerly.

I gingerly shook it, and gasped at her beautiful smile,

'My name is Kellie.' Her voice was like a fairies sweet and soft.

I loved how little children are never too judgmental, or she probably would have stayed well away, I more than likely looked a state.

'What's your name?' Kellie encouraged snapping me out of my trance.

'I'm Marley' I returned the greeting and beamed at her, she smiled back.

'I have a sister called Marley.' Kellie pondered out loud, I took and inaudible gasp! They had told her about me!? Had they filled her head with bad things about me?

'You know... you look a lot like me.' She stated. I was shocked, Kellie was beautiful and I was sure I was not, I was told off enough people that I was ugly, I guessed it must be true, seen as I couldn't check for myself.

'Really?' I questioned Kellie, and she nodded her head immediatly and vigourously.

I gave her my biggest genuine smile.

'I'm sorry Kellie, but I have to go now... I have jobs to do.' I said sad and regretfull. Kellie nodded in understanding, but continued to watch me collect the plates. Until there was a shout, 'Kellie?... Kellie, where are you sweetie?'

I winced as I heard my fathers voice sound so sweet and loving. He used to talk to me like that. Call me sweetie.

I guess Kellie is my replacement but I loved her all the same.

'I have to go...that's my Dad, but I guess you already know that.' She explained as she skipped out the room leaving her words in the air. She knew. She must know I was her sister, and she still talked to me and didn't leave my presence in disgust.

That encounter made my day, making me forget about the freaky dream. Until that night.

The dream was almost exactly the same but this time instead of my father saying those haunting words, it was worse. Instead he said 'P-please...please, forgive me...'

I woke panicked, in a sweat!

I needed to get out of this place, it's driving me crazy!

When Jay came to visit me the next day, I was so relieved.

'Hey Marls, sorry I couldn't get away yesterday. Wanna talk about a plan to get away?' he said whispering the last part.

'YES!!' I shouted.

'Hey, hey shh... right i've been thinking, lets hear what you think, heres my plan...'

***

Wow! I thought he really had thought this through! He had bought me tickets to Texas for the two days in the morning, our plan was to leave tomorrow night and travel to the airport through the night and my flight would be early morning. Jay had thought of everything even down to the taxi.

To get me out of the attic, he had found out they would be holding a ball, inviting all packs in the area, therefore no wolf will be patroling the borders, making it easier to slip away.

The perfect chance.
