Its peaceful. Living by myself. When i was 15 and 16 i didnt really like the peace and quiet. Im 17 now and i couldnt imagine my life any different.

I ran away when i was 15 because i was expected to transform for the first time and i was being told that i had to accept my mate when i found him and i would always be happy.

I didnt want that.

I didnt want a mate at all.

I thought that i could just reject him as soon as i saw him and that would be it. Turns out that you need to say his full name.

Saying his full name means nowing his full name.

Knowing his full name means knowing him...

And even i knew that once you know your mate and then you reject them, causes major physical and mental pain.

So...

I ran.

And tried not to look back.

When i was finally going to go home, i went onto pack land, only to find bodies and blood.

That was 2 days ago.

I saw my mum and dad. My heart nearly stopped.

I couldnt breathe. I could barley move.
My moms eyes were open and so were my dad's. I could pracrically see the terrror in their eye's.

I closed their eyes and carried them down the stairs that i would play on as a child.
As i clutched the only people in the world who i loved, it sunk in that no matter how much i cry, the arent coming back to tell me that its all gonna be okay. No matter how much i hugged them, their bodies remained lifeless.
I burned them and all the other bodies i found.

I walked away. I only turned back to see the flames.

It was anounced that anyone who survived was welcome at the red rising pack. I guess i should head there to see if im the only survivor from the black cresent pack.

I guess today is the day i return.

Just not to my pack...
