walking into the darkness

The beginning

"Mom I don't know if I can do this anymore" my voice became quiet as I looked to the ground, becoming unable to look into her broken green eyes. It's been a long time since they were filled with happiness. When I was little they shined with love, until the day they came. They stole everything from us. They killed my father and brother who where two of the strongest in our pack. The people that were left were bitter and I was the one to blame. I trusted the wrong person for he was my mate. I was a child, only 5 years old. He was not much older at only 10.

We used to sneak off at night into the woods to play. The adults told us what we believed was not true, we were to little to know who we were destined for. We would not know until our 18 birthdays. But they let us believe because they thought it was cute.

kissing her check, I stand up from her bed side and walk through the door thinking I would never enter it again. Little did I know how wrong I was, and how much that day would change my life again.
