Not My Way

Attack - 3

*Lilly's pov*

After I left the apartment, I started to walk home. If you can call it home. I live in a cramped apartment with the most disgusting man.

He is on the chunkier side, red face, never where's deodorant, and is not a werewolf. He is human.

As long as I live somewhere, I'm good. I won't complain. Plus, I was living there for 500 bucks a month. So I was doing pretty good.

I walked in and sat on the couch. "Kyle, I'm here!" I yelled out. He waddled in, carrying a bucket of pizza.

In a bucket? We will never know.

"Want to watch a movie together?" He asked. I shook my head. "Na, I had a long day. I think I'm going to just take a nap." I said.

"I remember finishing high school. It was so done for." He said. I nodded. I hated talking with him.

I walked off, but heard the doorbell go off. I walked over and looked through the peeping hole.

I opened the door a crack. "Yes? What would you like?" I asked. "Yes, can I come in? I am with the LPD." He said.

I let him in. "What happened?" I asked. "I have reasons to believe that you were consulting with a fugitive today. Joe Verken. Do you know him?" He asked.

"Well... Yes and no. Why do you say fugitive? What has he done wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing. I was just making sure." He said, then grabbed me and halted me up above his shoulder.

"No! Help! Let me down!" I yelled. "Shh... No one is coming for you." He said in a calm voice.

He pushed me into the back of a car, but I kicked him in the face and got out, high tailing it to the end of the street.

"You have learned!" He yelled out. I then knew what he was talking about. I ran even faster.

I turned a sharp corner and knocked into a large body. It happened to be Joe walking from Joli's apartment.

"Lilly? What are you doing?" He asked. "They are after me again. DON'T let them take me again. Please. It is worst that being shot with a wolvesbane covered silver bullet! Believe me, I know!" I said as I got up and ran again.

How grabbed my arm and stopped me. "Stop! Who are they?" He asked. "The people who took me when I was young! They are coming for me!" I yelled in his face.

The man that was chasing me before turned the corner and ran into Joe, just as I did.

"Ouch..." He said getting up. He saw me. He saw my fear. "I guess I've underestimated how weak you were though." He said through clenched teeth.

I whimpered. Joe turned around. "I've heard so much about you. I'm Joe." He introduced himself. The man didn't care and walked around him.

I walked backward and saw the mischievous glint in his eyes. I smiled and he returned the gesture.

I looked at the man and laughed. "Weak? Who are you to call weak?" I asked. He barked out a scoff.

"You little kid. You don't understand!" He yelled and pounced, shifting unto a wolf. I dodged it and shifted.

I growled and waited for his attack. He looked at my left leg telling me what he was going to do.

He did exactly and I went the other way to bite into his neck and stay that way until he submitted. He didn't.

I looked up to Joe, who was wide eyed. Was this not normal? I applied a little more pressure to realise that crack of victory. I killed him.

Joe looked horrified. I looked down, guilty. I tossed the now shifted man to him. I didn't want it.

"You just killed him." He said in disbelief. I nodded. 'Its how I was trained.' I barked.

He had a worried look on his face. "We really need to talk. About... Where they took you and what they did to you." He said.

I nodded. I didn't shift back because my brother was there, so I just walked in my wolf form.

We sure did get some weird looks. We walked to Joli's place. She gave me a weird look then have me some clothes.

After I was human again, I walked over to the living room. "What did they do to you?" Joe asked.

"They trained me. They beat me. They gave me scares. They cut me. They spit at me. They did a lot of things to me." I said.

"Why did they do this?" Joli asked. "They wanted a weapon. And since I was the daughter of a alpha and my mom was one of a beta, they thought it would be nice to start with that." I spoke with disgust in my voice.

"How did you escape?" Joe asked. "I killed my way through. I was stronger than they thought. They let me think in the darkness of that hell hole. They didn't kill me." I said.

"When did you escape?" He asked. "I escaped when I was eleven. I still trained, in fear they would come back for me. And they did. And I killed them too." I said with a straight face.

Joli's body tensed, Joe's face darkened, I stood up. "I think I should go now." I said.

I didn't wait for them to say anything, I just walked out. I closed the door and it opened again.

Joe stood tall and angry. "Who the hell did this to my sister? Who turned her into a weapon? Who succeeded!" He growled out.

I growled back. "I am no weapon! You are just angry because I can kill without any remorse and you can't!" I spat in his face.

I become very sensitive when it comes to this kind of stuff. I met my brother today and I am already marching off because of him.

Was I the one to do wrong? My footsteps slowed. Should I go back? My footsteps stopped. Was he only trying to help me? I sunk my head in shame.

I turned around only to find him right there. I looked up to him. "I can kill with no remorse. You had to. That's what you don't have. A choice. That's why I'm so angry. They took my sister and gave her no choice." He softly spoke with dark eyes.

"I had a choice. They asked me if I wanted to live. I could've said no. But I didn't. Bad choice in my part, because the rest of my life was a living hell. And I'm not just talking about when I was in the facility." I sadly spoke with a tear threatening to escape.

"It's okay. Your ok-" I cut him off. "No! It's not okay! Do you think this is okay? Because if you do, then I might as well go back! My life is no different than before whether I have you next to me or not! Want to know why? Because of my nightmares! Because of my school! Because I was destined to be a living nightmare!" And with that, I stormed off.

Tears sprung from my eyes. Joe yelling for me to get back. And a dark corner I was unaware of until someone came jumping out.
