-Leaving it all behind..

Eerah wake up earlier than the sun does. She did her morning routine faster than she ever did before. She couldn't wait to leave the place she once called home and start a new life on her own.

After she's done, she grabbed her bag and left her house. Seeing a tree nearby she hid behind it and stripped her clothes to shift. Kailangan tanggalin ang damit dahil masisira ito kapag nagshift ang mga werewolves.

After shifting Eerah bit her bag for her to carry it and started running. She stopped by the end of the pack's border. Dito ang hangganan ng lupain ng kanilang pack at kung sinong mga lalabas dito ay tinuturing na na mga Rogue.

Napatigil si Eerah ng makarinig sya ng mga nagmamadaling mga yapak at sumunod ang napakalakas, agresibo at galit na galit na growl ng kanilang alpha.

"Eerah!!" dumagundong ang malakas na boses ni Alpha Javier.

Lumingon ang babae at hinarap ang kanyang alpha. Hindi na sya nagulat ng makitang my mga guards na kasama ito. For sure, pipigilan sya nito pero neck neck naman nya na makikinig sya dito. Ni hindi nga sya dati minsan sumusunod sa mga magulang nya, sa lalaking ito pa na hindi naman na importante sa kanya, pathetic.

"I already told you my decision, Alpha and I'm not changing my mind anytime soon." Eerah calmly said and coldly stared at Alpha Javier's eyes. She's so calm na akala mo wala lang sa kanya ang mga nangyari kahit na ang totoo ay sobrang nasasaktan na sya.

Alpha Javier flinched but still has the guts to stare back at her and says, "I'm sorry but I can't let you leave. You're Chloe's bestfriend at sigurado akong masasaktan sya kung malaman nyang aalis ka." spell kapal. J-A-V-I-E-R

Eerah's eyes watered but she rolled her eyes to keep it from falling. 'Aray naman, ako yung mate mo oh pero sa iba ka nag aalala' she whispered in her mind in agony.

"I told her that I'm leaving, she didn't want it at first but eventually she gave in. We'll contact each other naman from time to time. So, bye." Eerah said irritatedly but stated the truth anyway and started to walk away. Sino ba naman ang hindi maiirita eh kanina pa sya sana nakaalis kung wala lang asungot na dumating at my mga alagad pa.

Alpha Javier thunderously growled that shook the entire forest. The guard he's with trembled in fear and kept their heads low, baring their necks.

Eerah simply looked at him in irritation. Hindi alam ng babae kung bakit hindi man lang sya nakaramdam ng takot but thank the moon goddess she didn't.

"Take her" he spat at the guards and they immediately obeyed.

Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ng babae at agad syang napaatras.

"No! You can't do this! You can't force me to stay in your pathetic pack!" she screamed at him angrily. Okay, well, she didn't mean it but hell she's done with this.

Alpha Javier glared at her but didn't say anything. The guards grabbed her hands tightly like she's a criminal and started pulling her hard.

Nagpumiglas sa kaba at galit si Eerah ngunit alam nyang hindi sya makakawala, hawak sya ng dalawa at pinapalibutan sya ng lima at hinihila papunta sa Alpha.

Napayuko si Eerah at napabuntong hininga. "Looks like I have no choice." She whispered. Nang nag angat sya tingin ay nagtama ang tingin nila ng Alpha at sya ay ngumisi. Kumunot naman ang noo ng Alpha sa ngisi ng babae.

Bago pa makapagsalita ang lalaki ay tumilapon na ito sa malayo at tumama sa puno. Kasabay ng pagtilapon ng lalaki ay ang pagtaas naman ng kamay ni Eerah. Dumaing sa sakit ang Alpha at hindi agad nakatayo dahil sa lakas ng impact.

"Alpha!" Sigaw ng mga guards at tumakbo sila papunta doon para tulungan ito ngunit bago nila magawa iyon ay tinaas ulit ng dalaga ang kanyang mga kamay at sabay sabay na tumilapon ang lahat ng guards.

Kinuha ni Eerah ang pagkakataong yon para tumakas.

She shifted mid air and swiftly grabbed her bag and run. Didn't I tell you that she's a half witch? Well then, now you know. No one in her pack actually knew her being a half witch, not even her best friend, Chloe. Only Calvin.

Eerah run as if her life depended on it. She run as if death is chasing her himself. She ran and ran and never looked back. Leaving everything behind as if it didn't matter to her anymore.
