Rejection(Vampire×werewolf) (On Hold)

The innocent child

I was sleeping in couch when I abruptly woke by some thumping and crying voice. What was that?

I scrunched my eyebrows and pushed my ear up to hear what was going on. The voice wailed again and from its frequency I could bet bucks that it was coming from my parent's room. The nearest room to drawing room. Unenthusiastically I dragged myself up from the couch, it was only for a child I was going. I assured. Sometime children feel scared of something, and whoever this child was she was fearing the same.

I love children. They're innocent, cute and obstinate. One cute pack of fun.

Lethargically moving around the tables and chairs, I reached to my mom's room. The messed hair falling on my face only hurt my eyesight so pushing them furiously behind, I pushed the antique door open.

Silence!

There I found no one. But I heard noise coming from here. May be I was dreaming.

I assumed and calculated drawing final conclusion, I was dreaming. Shrugging my messed thoughts I started crawling towards staircase, I needed sound sleep.

Suddenly, the same voice cried, calling for attention. It held lot of hurt that my heart came to my mouth for that child. The urge to find him before he scares shit out of himself increased. This time I was wide awake as I pondered possible reasons of my wrong presumptions when it hit. Actually I got my wolf, so my hearing power must have boosted till hundred times. Increasing my hearing capacity. So where he could be?

Following the noise from my parents room I reached to grey decorated wall. The wall was not wailing. Obviously, some one was beside this wall, but how? Beside it there is nothing but a.... Oh my god! A dungeon. That's why the boy was wailing, he must be afraid of dark.

Agreeing with my random explanation  I took the long way path from main gate. It was in pack house, just beside the Alpha Quarter.

"What do you think that child should be given that punishment?" I heard when I reached the dungeon gate. There were two werewolf standing there, they were omega of our pack.

"Regards to my princess!" They said in unison bowing before me. I nodded taking my steps faster, why on earth a small child will be given a dungeon punishment.

"Sorry Princess! You're not allowed." The darker one said, his face was hanging down, upset. He is the same one who was lamenting for child.

"Let me go!" I said politely, understanding they're doing there job only.

"We can't. These are orders from master." Another one explained showing his inability. His eyes were struck to ground and mine to his face. Why were they not allowing me? And why would father prohibit me?

Those questions hammered my already messed mind. "Name?" I asked strictly penetrating other one with my gaze, I put this facade when I've to get my work done.

"Tom.."

"So Tom, I want you to let me go or else don't forget to face the alpha's rage," I threatened him in no nonsense tone. He needed to know that I'm serious.

"But..."

"Leave it for other time!" I said as I pushed him away from main gate. The gate opened to dark creepy stairs going down. I know I am afraid of dark, but that child must be more.

With the support of side walls, I stepped down almost 20 creepy steps. This place needed one CFL, I mentally noted.

"Alpha, we can't find Emma. It looks like they have kidnapped her or killed her," our old Beta Bernard Shaw said. My heartbeat stopped for few seconds before it accelerated, when my friend was missing and I had enjoyed some party.

"Where is she?" I asked entering all of sudden to dungeon. There was a couch in corner and I found many eyes turning to me, surprised and shocked.

From those eyes I searched for the most assuring eyes. And I found them. My mom was sitting in between my brothers. Father was there on right most and there were several more faces.

"Mom, what happened to Emma?" I asked holding my cry. Friends are closer to heart.

"Oh sweety I don't know. We've send search party, hope they bring some information from North border."

"They were from South." I asked. She nodded. "Isn't it north shares it's border with vampires?" I asked no one in particular.

"Don't worry. She'll be fine."

I pray. "What's about her parents?" I asked.

"They went with search party." I nodded. I should be there with them, supporting them. "I will be there," I announced and almost ran towards stairs when I heard a small child  whimper. In my friend's worry, his cries slipped out from my mind.

"Where are you going?" Ethan asked, but I didn't bother to answer him and paced towards the cell.

There was a little child of five, sitting amid big fire. His face was hid in between his thighs and the small body was shaking in fear. I could smell his fear.

"Vampire!" My wolf sneered. Reminding me of her presence. "Ow but he's small and frightened." But her voice soon softened. I'm happy that I got my wolf just like me; generous and kind.

"You're cute." I complemented.

"Like you!" And I stifled by mouth not to laugh, she sounded childish. "We need to get him out of here, no child should be treated like that," She said in rage.

"I agree!" And I went near the cell. It was locked. "Dear," my soft voice picked his attention and I saw his face red with cry. He was scared of me.

"Don't worry I won't harm you. Listen baby don't be scared of it. I'm there for you." I told him but his eyes still not believed me.

"What to do err...? "I asked my wolf

"Rapunzel!" She replied. She has a sweet voice.

"So Rapunzel what should we do?"

"Let's talk to Alpha."

"Yeah, right!" My eyes turned to scared kid, "trust me you'll be out."

*****

"No, that child has broken our rules and there is no mercy for vampires. "

"Ridiculous father! He is a child and he won't harm us."

My palm was fisted around my gown. Our talk was becoming senseless with my father being stubborn. He was just a child for God's sake!

"This is my last decision. Bernard, I want his head on gold plate tomorrow. Let's give our enemy one precious gift on my daughter's birthday," My father chuckled.

Nowhere this man was nearer to my caring father, he was some one else. And now I understood, why the hell world fears this most ruthless alpha. This was the calm and cruel alpha who could stare the shit out of the most valiant living on this earth. But I was not afraid of him, I'll fight for that innocent even if it means to offend him.

"Mother.. "

"I agree with him. Rules are rules. "

"Then let me clear one day of you find your daughter's head on gold plate, then don't panic. " I shouted in rage. Why couldn't they understand, because of some filthy stupid rule and hatred we can't punish some innocent soul.

"Elissa!"My mother shouted but I turned my back to her showing that discussion was over.

"Ethan take her to her room. Ele you need deep sleep to concentrate on finding your mate."

"Sure!" I scoffed on what my father said. "If you've so much problem with vampire why don't you go and catch that Josh who had intruded inside, instead of implementing your rules on this child," I sneered irritated by their coldness.

"He never came! We had confused this child's aroma with him," James said tugging me towards gate.

"I can go!" I said as I jerked his hand away in rage. His eyes stared me with a glint of sadness and dismay but I didn't felt the necessity to make him feel good. I left from there, with every step promising myself that child won't die. This was the last thought before I shut my bedroom door with loud bang. I forgot about my friend, my family and myself.
