Hidden from the world around me (ON***HOLD)

Pain Chap 1

~8 years later~
It's dark; I'm in a clearing, not a soul in sight.

I put my nose to the air and take a deep inhale. The smell of wet dog and death reeks in the air, one word comes to mind, Rogues, but their no ware in sight. Out of frustration I let out an irritated growl "GRRRR."

I scan my surroundings, my ears twitching to see or hear for any movement, "SNAP!" The noise came from behind me. I slowly turn around, three; rogue  came into sight bleeding slowly from the shadows. As they get closer my courage was slowly going downhill.

My heart beat is pounding against my rib cage; I bet the smell of fear can be detected from two states away. I don't know if I will survive this fight. I've had enough of running and I'm not much of a fighter.

While I was thinking of my death, I didn't notice some movement behind me. When I did, it was a raven black wolf with the most vibrant green eyes; they were like emeralds. I could get lost in them forever. I took notice of his size he was bigger than an alpha. 'That must be one hell of an alpha male!' I thought. He jumped over me and started attacking the closest one to me.

Slowly I backed away from the scene bumping into a tree. I spun around fleeing but unfortunately for me one of the wolves saw me, he went after me. He caught up quit easily (Did I tell you I have a bullet wound in my front left leg from previous hunters)? It started nipping at my ankles and tail.

All of a sudden, it stopped, I went and looked back to see where it went. 'Well that was a bad idea.' I tripped over a tree root and face planted the forest floor.

The wolf started circling me like an injured animal easy prey (Which I kind of am) Saliva dripped from its snout, its eyes gleaming with bloodlust. I screamed/howled when it lunged...

I woke up panting mand sweating; my throat hurts so I think I was screamed in my sleep. Thank the goddess the walls are sound proof. I don't want John to hear me; I'm already sore from the beating I got last night.

I begin to think about the dream. It's been happening for a month now and I'm confused about the part were I'm a wolf, I mean me a wolf "ha ha" funny. If I could shift into a wolf then I would have ran away a long time ago.

Still I hope; well at least try.
I sigh while rubbing the last of the sleep out of my eyes. I wince 'Damn he must have got me in the face.' Another sigh.' I look at my clock beside my bed... 8:45am... WHAT!!! I'M LATE!

Man if John or Mrs. Know- it-all (Samantha) are up than I'm getting a good beating today. I already got one last night, I hope they forgot about me.
I sat up with a soft groan; I think my ribs are bruised. 'Well isn't that great.'

If you're wondering who John and Mrs. Know-it-all are, they are my foster parents; they're very abusive as you can tell so far.

I slowly make my way to the small shower. I turn on the shower, undress and step in. As usual the water is cold making me flinch.

My foster parents never pay for the electric or gas so it's always cold.
The thing is surprisingly I never get sick, I'm glad, 'Well that could be good thing or a bad thing.' Sometimes I wish I could have stayed home sick but I guess it's my chance to have a little freedom.

I got out of the shower after rinsing and put on some clean underwear, got on a white blouse and a pair of jeans; to top it off I spray the perfume and my mothers hoodie on.

I made my way downstairs, tiptoeing trying not to make a sound; making my way out the door grabbing my bag and shoes on the way.

It was going to be difficult walking to school with bruised ribs but I have to try.

By the time I got there I missed 1st hour and the beginning of 2nd. I hope the school doesn't call the house, that is something they will do though.

I walked, no rushed to my next class. It was math. Opening the door to be greeted by my teacher Mr. Motaz, reading from her math book. When I entered the door slammed behind me. All eyes were on me.

Mrs. Motaz turned to me with a scowl. "Now Miss Rosemary it's 9:15, do tell me why you are late." "Um. w-well yo-you see." "Never mind you have after school detention, both of you." "Both?" The door opened behind me, I turned around to see the most magnificent, plus terrifying eyes in the world. They were the eyes from my dream.

If I wasn't in a daze my mind would of said Creepy. The most amazing smell ever hit me secondly. It was a mixture of raspberry and caramel chocolate. Something shifted inside me, I don't know what it (they) was, they started yelling; MATE! MATE! Over and over again.

The guy's nose flared, and the look in his eyes scared me. he took a step towards me. I took a step back unconsciously. He started to frown. He starts to speak. "Hey, hey no need for that come here, Mate." His voice sent shivers up my spine, and also because of the spark in his eyes. But what made me want to run is he said the word mate.

So you know what I did, I pushed past him and ran. I heard them shout for me.

Not caring about the consequences, I busted out of the school entrance heading towards the woods by the far end of the school. Not thinking just running, I finally stopped, out of breath.

I looked up to see a clearing, in the middle was a huge lake; a small waterfall of the side. I decided to take a swim to cool off. Heading towards the waterfall and I noticed it looks like there was a opening behind the water. Curiosity got the best of me.

Slowly I swim over there because I started to feel the pain in my ribs. On the other side of the waterfall was a cave.

I suddenly jumped when I started hearing footsteps. Quickly I went into the cave, and listened.

Step, step, step, it was getting closer, I start hearing murmurs. I think it said "Where is she?" "Why did she run?" "Why was she scared?" and "Did she have a black-eye?" The last one came out as a growl. A growl? That's weird.

For a moment this went on. Finally the steps when client as he walks away. I slowly slid out and went to the shore.

As I started to walk away I was slammed against a tree. With a gasp from surprise, and pain I looked up at the cause of the pain. It's the guy. I started to struggle but he growled, again making me freeze from fear.

I let out a small whimper, the guys eyes softened a little and he said "Sorry, but are you okay?" I didn't respond, I only whimpered. He put his hand up towards me, making me flinch instantly. He frowned but didn't move away, he went and wiped my cheek, that's when I noticed I started to cry. 'Damn, stupid emotions I thought' struggling harder.

And you know what happens next, that looking back, it is the most ridiculous thing ever.

When I was struggling. Shaking my head around, forgetting I was against a tree and hit the back of my head. The last thing I remember is darkness.

"Well that's going to be one pain in the butt headache when I wake up."
