BAYLONS P.O.V.

I really hated being there at the battle area... It brought back bad memories of my childhood. I always did hate being forced to fight the people that I was suppose to be friends and family with. I really felt like that was what made me start to be so introverted.... Getting beat up all the time didn't feel too great,and noone was nice t me because of the alphas son thing.I didn't have a growth spurt and become able to really defend myself until I was about fifteen, almost sixteen years old. Before that I was getting my ass kicked and laughed at by all the guys on a the regular. My father would always say things like, "Son, this will make you a stronger leader when the time comes." But who wants to hear that when they are nursing a black eye? We did as wolves heal very quickly, but we didn't hurt any less. I decided at about eleven, while nursing my dislocated arm that being an alpha wasn't at all what I wanted out of life if that was what it consisted of. The only ones who took a break on me were Randy and Billy, The rest tortured me. First they would beat me in the ring, then they would say things like I was the weakest Alpha son in history, and I didn't deserve to be my fathers child. So they beat me up in life too. I hated all of them. I told myself pretending to be a regular human being in life would be easier than having to lead a bunch of wolves who didn't have respect for me. I would have to fight for the rest of my life, there would always be some moron trying too challenge me for the Alpha position. At first my mind said I was gonna go to college far away and never return. Why be there? But then, All of a sudden out of nowhere I was being called Junior Alpha?? I guess some of that additude changed. Maybe they did have respect for me.... or I grew bigger than they imagined that I would, I was twice the size I was the year before and twice as strong.
The campground was just the same as before I stopped coming there. All of the school like buildings and the giant octagon shaped ring in the middle. It was just the same...
There were two guys sparring in the middle and it brought back hard ptsd. I finally saw Kaylee ringside and she looked so scared, and then I realized that it was her brother who was in the ring. He was learning some moves from Randy, and he was fairly good at picking up the moves pretty quickly. I wanted to go and help my girls brother out, But I definitely wasn't gonna join in at all but I would watch for awhile. All of a sudden I saw Kanen slammed pretty hard on the mat and he looked dazed. Then I saw Kaylee jump into the ring. He had just gotten the wind knocked out of him but he seemed to be alright. Her and her sister seemed more than concerned about him. But he was feeling better by the time I got to the ring. Kaylee still seemed offput by seeing her brother sparring but he went on a little longer training, he felt like he needed to learn more. I walked close to her and secretly took her hand and I could feel her calming. We stood and watched a couple of other fights and then it was time to close shop for the day.I went to tell my father that I was leaving and when i returned I saw her speaking with some of the other female pack members.I grabbed her hand and guided her towards her family."what did they want?" I asked in a suspicious way. I was very leary of anyone in my pack."Oh, just to talk is all." She told me.
When we were finally leaving the Okawa campground I was relieved to get away from there. I went to Mr.Bresette to ask his permission to drive Kaylee back to the house, he looked at me very suspiciously for a moment, but finally he said yes. I wondered had Kaylee discussed me with her parents. And if so why wouldn't they like me? I guessed that I had to worry about that later. It was probably because of who my father is
But Driving back to the house was so nice. Her sitting next to me in the passenger seat, gazing out of the window and holding my hand. It was so natural...I couldn't have been more content. Then I asked her, " Are you ready to come back for a Okawa tomorrow?" She looked at me confused. "Oh, I'm sorry." I laughed a bit. It had left my mind that she hadn't a clue what I was talking about. It felt like she'd always been here, that she experienced what I had experienced. " The Okawa is the campground Kay, Okawa means battle ground." She smiled at me, then she frowned a bit. She replied with, "Baylon, I couldn't imagine myself doing all that I've seen today, It was very violent and Real ." I felt a sigh of relief for a moment, then she went on to say, " But, I guess its this war with those rogues, so I am prepared to do whatever it takes to help with this battle."
