( Lora's POV )
For 18 years, I have been living in the northern village. With an unknown origin, I was told that I was found in a box that washed up on the shores of the island. A mysterious land in the middle of the sea that is habitants by werewolves who can even take on a much humanoid form. And monsterous creatures with features of an animal but only is twice the same of it ordinary species.
I learned that 20 years ago, humans from the mainland invaded the island because the island itself have some strange but unique energy that the humans wanted for themselves. Resulting in a war with the werewolves who are blessed by this power become the ones who will guard it. By luck the werewolves came out victorious and drive away the human force. But there was still a heavy loss for the werewolves. The entirety of the southern village was completely destroy by the hands of the human when they uses that village to set up their base.
Remembering the cruelty from the humans, the fear from these humans got implanted into the minds of those who fought and survived the war. Over time that fear turned in rage and rage turned into hatred. It was two years after the war that a human baby was found and taken in by the chief/alpha of the northern village. That was me. There was never a time when I wasn't look down on. In the beginning, I didn't know the reason why they of the village hated me some much. Their eyes of disgust towards me, hatred and rage. It was like without words they are all telling me to just die and repent for the sins that I and my kind have brought to their peaceful land.
As times traverses by, stares of hatred turn into verbal words of anger. Disgusting, vile, evil is all the villagers have ever said to me
Time goes by again and they words turns into physical abuse. Stone and other object throwm at me. That was the period of time I start questioning my own existence on the island. I was only a little girl, not understanding what the world truly. Why do everyone act this way toward me. Just what sin have I have done to be treated like this.It was scary of me. After learning the truth about the war, I felt even more scared because I never did anything like that but yet why. Why blame me for something that I'd never did. Is the world really that twisted for a child like myself to suffer for something I had nothing to do with.
" Should I leave, run far away from this place?"
" Are should I die and repent if the sins I never cause?"
These words cross my young immature mind at the time, day in and day out. I would have follow through with the wishful thinking for the village, if it wasn't for the man who'd save me from the outside world.
" You did nothing wrong."
Just those words alone from my father was enough to give me the strenght to continue living, continue fighting for a place in this world. Even if there aren't many who don't accept me. As long as there is one person who does. That will be enough for my soul. But what would happen if that person isn't there any more. That's was question I am force to fe at this very moment.
( Third person POV )
Her hands, bind with ropes as she walk with shame through the town. All the villagers, shouted their nonsense words of accuse. She had thought that she would feel safe from this feeling again, but all she feels is a sense of dread, lurking over her heart, soul and mind like a black cloud when the others accusing her for a crime against her own father. The only thought that her mind can muster.
" What happen to father?"
Taken to the submit, Lora is force to knee in front of the four elders of the northern villager. Now it is time to seek the truth. One of the elder started off with his first question.
" Where were you last night?"
The elder intense stare looking down on the anxious Lora. Still having no clue why she was suddenly detent for something she have no knowledge of. She needs answer and she needs them now.
" What happen to my father?" Lora asks.
Barely shaking off the pressure releasing by the elder. The elder of course wasn't please with Lora attitude. So as punishment she received a hard whip from one of the guards standing behind her. The girls scream in pain, falling to the ground with a hard turd.
" We are the one who is asking question here," said elder before he repeat his previous question to Lora about her whereabouts last night around when the moon position north east.
Which in wolf term, 11 to 12 o'clock midnight. Lora is feeling a lot of pain from that strike. The thorn coated whip rip open her back, spilling blood all over the floor. Feared to receive another hit from such a thing, Lora have no choice but to answer the question.
Explaining that she was with her father at fireflies hill at that time. The elders after hearing her words all look at each other franticly. Since she had confuse of being at fireflies hill at the time, would she dare to confess her crime. Lora is confuse on what crime they are talking about.
Finally the elders explain. The northern village chief and alpha of the silver lotus pack, upon not returning home after his visit to fireflies hill last night. His wife Lulu, went out to seek her husband only to stumble upon his body laying down in the middle of the forest
After inspection, we discover that he was poison." Poisoned," Lora eyes widen with shock upon hearing such a news.
Questioning the elder of if they are accusing her for poisoning her own father. Which is what the elders of definitely getting at.
