Slave Of A Wolf

Chapter 23 : Guilders

Gale's POV

I groaned as I woke up, having a massive headache and feeling sore all over, especially around my neck. I got up on what appears to be a couch, I was bundled up in multiple blankets which I squirmed my way out of, I then stared at myself through the reflection of the metal box in front of me. My clothes were changed into bunny styled pajamas, my hair was all messy and tangled because of my sleep, and yet I felt oddly relaxed and calm. 

"Yo, morning!!!" I heard a female voice call out.

I looked over to see Ni coming over with a hot coffee and a muffin wearing a bunny onesie, she said happily,"Look I made you some morning food with coffee!!! Even though it's the afternoon... But coffee is always good!!"

She placed it down and became tense, she looked up at me in worry,"Are you Gale? Zepher? Or maybe Typhoon, if so then I-"

I held up a hand as I rubbed my eyes, I just felt like I had a good nice sleep so I was in a bit of a daze, I mumbled softly,"I'm Gale."

Ni said happily,"Ah!!"

She plopped herself right next to me and put an arm out, feeling comfortable with herself she said,"So I can relax then!! No offense, your other selves are kinda, tiresome."

I heard Zeph shout in my head, angrily,"What!?!"

I ignored her and took up the coffee, the hot liquid poured down my throat was very soothing. I asked quietly,"So what happened?"

Ni looked up, thinking for a moment before saying,"Well, a lot. But let's try and break it down into simple stories."

She first told me that the girls were safe, but they choose to stay. I frowned but nodded, I could understand that at least. And I have a way to contact them through Kane now apparently which was good. 

Nilaya then suddenly took my hand and said with a deep breath,"You need to stay calm for this next bit okay?"

After a few minutes, suddenly the coffee didn't feel so good anymore, in fact, it felt sickening even. I quietly whispered in shock,"She killed four people?"

Nilaya immediately grabbed my hands to reassure me,"She didn't know that they weren't bad people, it's not your fault!! The whole thing was a misunderstanding-"

Wait, wait, I know she killed someone, but multiple people? I covered my mouth as I felt like vomiting. Not even innocents, they were real people who were slaves just like me.

"Four people!!!"I said still in disbelief, I got up and started pacing the floor, I whispered to myself, again"Four people..."

I searched my mind for Typhoon but she was nowhere to be found. I bit my lip in frustration, Ni got up to console me but I pushed her away, I said,"I'm going for a walk. Alone. Don't follow me."

I then slammed the door as I left the building. I put up my hair as I walked across the street, ignoring the cold snow, even ignoring the busy crowds of people and creatures, as I tried to run away from the fact that I killed people. Even if it was Zepher or Typhoon it was still my body who did that which made me a murder too. 

I gripped my mouth almost vomiting, I hated this feeling. I ended up running across the street for hours until I ran out of breath, I staggered as I then ended up in a random back alley. It was a small street with trash bins littered across, with dried up paint along the walls and trash on the floors. Yet it was calming, soothing even, being all away from the noise of those cars and people, being away from my problems, it helped me calm down, but I was still torn inside. 

The sole reason why I never wanted to kill anyone is because that would make me the same as those monsters who burn my home. If I do the same thing as them, what does that make me? I bit my lip so hard that blood came out, I slide down against a brick wall as I curled up into a ball, wanting to die.
