The Monsters

Chapter One

(Mia P.O.V)

That was the day everything changed. It has been six years since my seventh birthday the last happy day of my childhood, in a week it will be my third-tenth birthday. That is when I will have to kill my first werewolf. After my seventh birthday I have gone into training with my brothers and have been taken out of school and also being home schooled with them.

The first time I went to training I saw the real side of my dad he was no longer the king, all I see now is a man that brought me into this world. He doesn't even disserve to be called a father. The first day of training we had to built up my stamina, but when I started to get tried and started to slow down my running, he took out his belt and started to whip me not enough to draw blood but just enough for me to scream in pain. My brothers tried to help me, but the man I call father told them if they tried to help me then my punishment would be worst. That has happened to all of us at least once a week during training and we couldn't do anything, but watch.

My brothers have already killed their first werewolf, they said that it is like freeing the world of another disease, they are both now fifth-teen. I have never felt that way, every time for training when we would hunt the deer out in the woods, every time I kill one in front of them I showed no emotions. What they don't know is that I cry myself to sleep morning for their death. They didn't do anything, why should I take an innocent animal's life when it did nothing wrong.

Now is the time that I will have to carry on the tradition. I don't think I can do it, not like my brothers have. I will never forgive myself for taking an innocent werewolf. They all have no idea how I feel about this, except for Danny, they always thought I enjoyed it like the rest of them, the monsters. Know in a week I will have to kill my own.

Lost in my train of thought my brother, Dylan, walks in to the kitchen where I have been think what is suppose to happen in a week.

" Hey sis, are you ready for your first kill." Dylan asked with a smile on his face.

" Yeah, I guess." I said quietly.

" Are you nervous." he asked, I nod my head yes," Well don't be, you will do fine. You have done all of your training and you even beat me in swords play. So you will do just fine. No need to be nervous"

He was right I shouldn't be nervous. I have done all the training he had, but the only difference is that he can take a life without feeling regret. He thinks that I am nervous that I will fail, but I am worried I can't do it. Just then Danny walks in.

" Hey , what are you guys up to?"  Danny asked.

" Oh we are just taking about Mia's first kill next week." Dylan replied.

Danny is the only one that has an idea of how I fell about this. He found out one night when he walked into my room and I was on the bed crying. That night I told him how I felt about it, he listen to  me even though he had different ideas about the whole werewolf thing. That night he stayed with me until I stopped crying then left. The next morning he didn't say a word to me about what happened, he just went on like it never happened. He didn't tell mom or dad either, most likely to protect me.

"Oh, so how do you fell about it? Killing a werewolf." Danny asked raising his eyebrow.

" I am kind of nervous about it." I answered.

"What exactly are you nervous about?" he asked with curiosity. Before I can answer him Dylan answers for me.

" Dude, she is just nervous about failing even though we all know she is going to past. After all she is the best sword fighter." Dylan said.
