The Alpha's Beta

Chapter 11

Is it Friday already? Wow! Today is April Fool's Day, also my sister's birthday. No, that isn't a joke, even though I call her a Fool for it. I pranked her, but I don't know if it will work or not yet. I have to wait until after school to offer her the Toothpaste Oreo's. My strategy: 3 Oreo's, Toothpaste one on top, Normal one in the middle (fooling her into thinking that there aren't any more Toothpaste Oreo's), and then another Toothpaste one!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Okay, evil moment over. It's crazy to think that my little sister is eleven today!  Not to sound like a mom here, but just yesterday it seemed like she was learning how to spell super easy - to me - words like 'Pig' and 'Cat.' Yup, write me a sticker that says "Mom," and put it on my forehead. 

Ahh, I'm too young to talk like this! Fifteen is waaaay too young! You know what, come back and talk to me about this crap some other day. Maybe someday in 2040 something. Great, I made myself do math. I just love Fridays, don't you? They just make you want to spill your guts out to the whole world! Well, to whatever part of the world you guys are from, anyways.

Okay, it's time for me to stop talking - typing - and just let you get to the story. You guys are probably bored or you skipped this. Either way, I don't blame ya. Bye, guys! :)

I blinked my eyes, trying to see through the darkness, yet not succeeding. I picked up my hand - I was in control! Yay! - off the cold, hard floor and waved in front of my face. Saw nothing. 

Do you require assistance? Asked a voice I hadn't yet heard in my head before. Yet she sounded familiar.

Uh, yeah. I guess. But who are you?

I am the part of you that is Lupine. My name is Whisper. Named so for my quiet behavior.

I had a sudden thought. Anita, Whisper, how do you guys know so much? And how do you know your names and whatnot?

Whisper's answer came first. We were born before your time, long ago. I was killed by a hunter, protecting my pups. I waited for a long time, or a short time, it felt like both. Until the day you were bitten. I tried to ease you into Shifting, but the Alpha and Beta had other intentions.

Anita took a little longer to answer, since she was deeper in my mind, not out and about like Whisper was. Whisper speaks the truth. I, too, was killed, but in a storm, trying to get home to my young ones. I also tried to keep you from Shifting, content to wait until you were of age to become Leader. But all good intentions get intercepted by bad.

Wow. I had two wise animals in my head. I don't think that ten of me's would be as smart as one of them.

But, as I asked before, you wanted to see? I can help, and so can Anita. We will provide you with your senses, without a full Shift.

I nodded my head, as if I was having a conversation out loud. Before I could think the 'yes,' the lights suddenly came on. That's what I thought, anyways.

I could suddenly see everything as clearly as if it was day, but I knew there weren't any windows or lights. I could sense no other people nearby. Couldn't hear anybody, only a random drip, drip, drip of water coming from close by.

The room I was in was completely blank. Nothing but black walls and a door. The door was almost impossible to see, but with my see-in-the-dark eyes, I recognized the faint outline of a door. If not for the senses, I would never have seen it.

Wow, you guys are awesome!

I would like to inform you that I am the one helping right now. Anita chooses not to. Whisper objected.
