I tip-toed down the stairs as quietly as possible. I couldn't risk anyone seeing me like this. I had a drawstring bag thrown over my shoulder with a great majority of my cloths in it. Nobody could no I was leaving, well not yet anyways.
Unfortunately, luck was not on my side. I saw my uncle John sitting on the couch, with all his attention pointed towards me. "Where do you think your going young lady," He asked with a raised eyebrow.
I wanted to run back up to my room and hide but I knew it would only be worse. I had to suck it up. This is my choice, something I have to do on my own. "There's nothing for me here," I replied back using my calm and composed tone, I would not show him fear.
"What do you mean there's nothing for you here. You have a pack and a family that cares for you here," He threw out there. Guilt was starting to come over me, because I knew he was right. Only I didn't have much of a family, he may not know but I do.
"what family? Me and you both know the whole family resents me but you, Aunt Sally, and Ryan. What do I honestly have that would want to make me stay," I snapped. I barely had anyone. I didn't have a real place that I actually called home.
"You have family, you may not think you do but me, Sally and Ryan are still your family. Family is what's in your heart not blood. But I guess your just to dumb to see it," He tried explaining to me, but with each word that came from his mouth, I could hear anger dripping from it.
I know what he said was true, but I wouldn't admit. It would just make me want to stay, but I knew I couldn't. I didn't want to. I wanted to go my own way.
"I know you all are my family. Its just.....its just that I need to be on my own. This place isn't for me. I don't belong here and I was hoping that you'd understand," I hesitated in the beginning. It was true, I hoped that he more than anyone would understand. This just wasn't for me.
"Isn't for you? What do you mean, a pack is for everyone. Your going to go out and get yourself killed if your alone. You shouldn't be doing this, ITS NOT YOU!," He started yelling at the end, but I was determined to not let him get to me. This is my life not his.
"You said it yourself the other day, I'm a great fighter. Why take all that back now? You taught me everything I need to know, It's you that took me in. It's you that saved me from my own parents. Why cant you see that I don't want this any more, I'm ready?"
It seemed to finally register through his head that I wanted, no needed to become rouge. He still seemed mad though. "This may be something you want, but do you really need. I don't think you know what your getting yourself into. I never said I didn't think your ready, but I don't feel that you need to go."
I could see it all over his face that he didn't think I should go, but for once, I was going to do my own thing. He couldn't keep trying to baby me. I wasn't 8 anymore, I was 15. I was old enough to be on my own now.
"No, your wrong, this is something I need. I can take care of myself perfectly fine. I NEED to be by myself. I cant take this anymore. You may be able to live with a pack, but I cant. Your the beta, Of course you can stay with a pack. You don't really have rules. But I do and rules are something I don't tend to follow," I told him sternly. This was my choice not his and either way I was going to go through with it.
"I know you can take care of yourself, but I just don't think your ready," He calmed his voice down a smidge but he was still loud.
"I'm ready. You may not think so but I do. You cant stop me from doing this and deep down there you know that," I opened up to him and started to make my way to the door. He did the same and when I finally managed to put my hand on the door knob, he stopped me.
