War among Wolves

Escape

"She needs to come now!" The other wolf was bigger and red. I squinted to look closer only to sink my stomach. Blood. There is blood all over his front. I need out. Find a way out Zexta! Nothing. There wasn't any- THERE! A small gap in the woods showed me a hiking trail and if there is a trail there is a road which leads somewhere. I won't die today.

"She saw it! She isn't ready for this, she will die Sebril!" I saw them inch towards one another. I can't stop looking at them. I can't move. This is like a wreck on the free way! Damn my rubber necking weekness. Sebril lunged at me but failed as the wolf T-boned his side into a rock.

" I said NO!" How do people not hear their voices. There like an earth quake.

I watched them tumble, clawing and snapping wildly at each other until I heard a cry. No, oh god no. Sebril walked towards me as my fearful paralyzed sold shouted run but my limbs disobey. I shut my eyes and waited for the worst. A loud crash and a hot pain woke me. My heart still pounded. I checked all over but found no source until I saw blood drip on my hands. Everything burned but the gash on my face. Finally I ran. I fled for my life tripping and crawling through the mud and muck of rainy Wyoming.

How long had I been gone? Thoughts about mom filled my head. Had she been alive she would have called the cops, S.W.A.T., the National Gaurd, everyone if I had disappeared even for 30 minutes. I miss her. Now I'm stuck in a " house for girls" bull shit more like a prison for bitches.

I was jerked out of my thoughts when I heard snaps and crashes behind me. There! A road and there is a car coming! If I can just make it a few more- NO! I felt a swift hard smack like a tree hitting my side as I flew into the thorny brush. I was so close to living. I felt stings all over. There was so much pain, how long was I going to be alive?

Sebril leaned in over me his hot rank dog breath wafting over my skin. " I hope it lasts long. I hope you suffer. Your cursed existence has forced us into exile because of him! " I could feel the life draining from me. What the hell is he talking about. I literally just met

I tried to stay awake, stay alive but I could open my eyes. I struggled but all I could see was a pair of hazel eyes. Hazel with red flecks then nothing. I felt nor heard anything.

"ZEXTA GET YOUR ASS UP! " Well fuck if it isn't Serinea. Wait! Serinea? I opened my eyes and looked around. Yes! I'm alive, I'm alive! I ran into the bathroom for a hot shower. I heard Serinea enter my room. " Zexta you get Ur ass dry and dressed it's 8:30 and the seminar begins at 9:20 we don't have time for your bullshit." Oh for fucks sake why was it today I had to be late. I threw on some sweats and a baggy t shirt that says " fancy me? " and shows a picture of a turtle. I'm an odd one.

The seminar lasted forever an in account of me being late I got to participate. DNA analysis, what fun. We haven't even started class and Mr.Schumer expects a 3 page essay on the discovery of DNA and its components on his desk Monday next week. At least I have 6 days to do it. "Hey Zexta! Wait up." That would be Rodey. Rodney broden but we call him Rodey for short. He was my neighbor and our star basketball player. " Oh what brain dead fun do I get to enjoy from RB today? Oh wait you don't have a brain to be brain dead with." He gave me a evil smirk and began to roll the ball around in his hand. " someone is feisty this morning. Serinea take away your toys obi one?" I hated him but I've known him since I was little. When I first joined the home for girls at age 3 Rodey has been there.

So why was he here now. " No dipshit, so what do you want?" He covered his chest and faked a cringe " ouch! And I wanted to know why you where gone till 3 am? House mom Carla was banging on my door. " Oh shit was it really that late? I didn't even know how I got home. I must have looked weird because Rodey grabbed my shoulder "Hey you alright?" I shook my head and looked up " huh? Oh yeah, just had a crazy night."

" Hey yo RB! Why you talking to that uggo? " Rodey's friends all laughed and high fived as if what he said was original. " probably because he wanted to speak with someone who has real balls" I said under my breath but Rodey heard and chuckled " Oh your a man now huh? I out don't let everyone hear you say that Z. I'll catch you later okay? " I nodded and began to walk toward my junker car.

I drove a beat up shit Mazda with three different color doors and two broken handles. The wind blows hard enough and I'm sure it will fall apart. Carla just got Meagan and Serinea a new car but could waste time on getting me a decent clunker. Instead she picked this one out of the junk yard lot. I was never her favorite.

After a long day of college and work I was ready to unwind. I stood in the kitchen making chicken marsala for dinner and jambing out to pink spiders when the front door flew open and in walked the glutonus pig of a man Carla claims is just the handy man but he is the only attention that woman will ever receive. " What's cooking, good looking?" Ew! He always hit on us girls. He is disgusting but he is good to us. We don't appreciate the comments though.

"Dinner Denise. Where is Carla? " Oops. He hated when we called her Carla instead of mom and we suffered for it. He crept forward and towered over me with his repugnant size. "You will regret that. Finish dinner and fix my plate, whore." He walked off upstairs and I heard him yell at the other girls. All empty threats but we were fearful none the less.

I sat in my window prepared to run if I had too. As I know every girl in this house did the same. I felt water trickle down my arm and looked up to a clear sky. No rain? Maybe it was just water from the roof then. I felt it again this time it got my ear. I looked across the way at Stevie, RB little brother with at water gun. " stevie cut that out or I'll climb over and kill you" He laughed and rapid fired water at my face. I laughed and tossed a couple of pebbles from my spot at him but hit Rodey's window. Great.

Rodey slid his window open and looked around oblivious that it was me until the house creeked. " whoa what's with the wake up call?" I gave him a half smile and made up some excuse " Oh I felt you needed me. No I know you need me. Otherwise you would fail chemistry. " He chuckled and shook his head. He must have noticed the water because he ran off and was back in a flash with Stevie holding his water gun to his face " apologize Stevie, I know what you did." Stevie squirmed and pulled at his grip but it was no good. Eventually He apologized and ran off. " Was that really necessary? " I question his methods of parenting quite a bit. "Yes." He yawned and invited me over with our calling card.

A long time ago we invented a system of 2 Terra cards. The death card meant no don't come over and the happiness card meant it's cool to climb. Latter we added the sadness card which ment we needed one another's company. We sat an talked for hours. I liked our talks. Hell I liked Rodey but I don't think he likes me. I finally went back to my room and passed out.
