OMEGA (Kaisoo)

Chapter 1

It was the night of a snowstorm.
the cold wind was whistling through the trees as he'd found himself running through the dark and cold forest, he'd only dreamed of reaching from a far, from the house he'd been kept in. On occasional days he had been allowed to get closer to a window and each time his eyes would try to look as far as he could. He would try to see and draw a pattern of escape in his mind.

he panted and then he tripped over his feet, on any other day he'd called the forest beautiful by how the snow decorated the the trees and grounds, made the dark look less dark like hed been used to. There was a time he'd wondered how snow would really feel like against his feet, rarely it snowed and when it did he wasn't free, he was locked up somewhere or kept for sale and he couldnt remember if it was the same as being locked into a freezer or not.

he knew now that his feet had become numb from the cold touch of it, snow reaching up his bare ankles as he fought himself through the white mountains, that only seemed to be getting more white by how much it was snowing but he couldnt stop now, never had he gotten so far from this particular pack afterall and this time for sure if they caught him they would kill him.

the thought of it made him glare to himself as he tried picking up pace, grabbing the snow in his way to shovel his way through, now and then he'd brush over his hair and face to clear his vision. body trembling and shaking from how he'd pushed it to work mercilessly. a trail of blood was left behind him but he'd hoped even that would somehow be covered up by the thousands of snowflakes falling from the sky as if to taunt them at how simple and peaceful, unfathomed they laid down to rest around him.

at last, he hissed in a sharp breath of pain when he accidently grabbed onto a thorn bush, unintentionally having swung at it and ripped through the already wounded skin over his arm. he pulled it to himself before limping around it and nearly falling then if it weren't for the snow surrounding him.

Then he heard the howling of his alpha close by and panic flooded his mind as he looked around, searching the danger only to find it on top of a distant hill from where he'd run. dozens of trees between them from where they stood.

the alpha set its angry eyes on him and he stumbled backed away through the snow, brushing the falling flakes off his face, all pain and injury had been forgotten as he started to continue running though piles of snow, howls of his pack in the back while he pushed himself blindly forward, tearing himself through more thorned bushes without caring to avoid them anymore until he reached the end of the ground he'd been running on, nearly slipping over the edge. 

it was the end of this territory and the ground just a drop in front of him was the beginning of a different one.

kyungsoo wasn't allowed to learn, he has never bothered to be taught anything either but he'd overheard the meaning of territories and he learned they're meaning through previous escapes. they couldn't cross theirs and neither could he, but what other choice would he have. he'd hoped to find the other end of their territory and make it to civilisation to lay low. but the odds weren't in his favour.

still breathing hard he turned and looked behind himself in hesitation as his pack was getting closer and he stepped back to the edge, heels almost in the air. he was sure if he was shivering any more than he already was, he'd slip and fall anyway.

he should jump, he thought again, being potentially killed by the fall or ripped apart by the neighbour pack, who were well know to be dangerous, would still be better than to return to that house. yet he still hesitated and he hated himself for being indecisive for too long of a time he simply did not have.

the first arriving wolf finally got to him and he stepped the last step back over the territory lines, and into the air with a sharp inhale, preparing to fall and face wolves he'd never seen before but his pack had other plans.
