Stronger As One

Alarm Clocks

           

This version of strong submissive is what I truly wanted. Due to being high school when writing and dealing with my severe depression and anxiety I struggled a lot with maintaining my writing. This will be a rewritten version and may have some differences compared to the original. If there are specific things you want to stay the same please let me know! Im glad to be back writing this and I look forward to you joining me in this world. Thank you all and I hope you enjoy!

       Alarm clocks. Why are they a thing? Why must they exist? Waking up to them nearly every day is extremely unpleasant and it often left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. I grimaced as I continued to listen to the blaring before decided to smack it off. Soon I won't have to deal with this sound anymore.. Once I'm finished with this year of school I'm finally free.   

      I welcomed the silence and sat up rubbing my eyes. The lack of sound coming from the house meant my father was passed out somewhere from a night of heavy drinking. I smiled at the thought. This meant no more bruises this morning..

         I jumped out of bed and slipped to the bathroom. I quickly glanced to the mirror, my black hair was disheveled and bags were under my eyes. I shrugged before turning on the shower and hopping in. A shower in the morning always helped me wake in the morning, it just washed away the grogginess.

        The water beat against my pale skin, slightly stinging when it hit the bruises that littered my body. Images of my drunken father filled my head and I frowned. He never stopped drinking, and it just fueled his anger. He wasn't always like this.. he used to be kind and gentle... but then my mom left. We don't even know why..

        I shook the thought from my head and continued showering. When the water turned cold I slipped out and wrapped a towel around my waist. The steam billowed out of the bathroom and I shivered at the cold. I quickly ran into my room and slipped on my clothes.  Simple black shirt and a pair of jeans is my go to outfit along with messy hair.

        I glanced at the clock to make sure I was on time before I grabbed my back and heading downstairs. It was such a strange silence.. Its rare to have these mornings. Most often its filled with yelling and crashing.

        I quickly ran out the door and began the walk to school. As I walked through the barren town my legs began aching for the need to run. My wolf pawed at the edges of my mind and whimpered softly.

Can we please go for a run? It feels like its been forever..

'I have school.. I cant just ditch for a run' I sighed

Please... Just for a little bit? My legs are aching. My wolf whined

'Fine fine.. but We are only missing first period'

        I glanced around and slipped away into a field. Cars passed by every few minutes and due to the cloudy weather no one was walking about. I slipped off my bag and quickly took off my clothes before falling to my knees. I shut my eyes and let my wolf take over. In my head, he bounded around my head before jumping against the walls. I began feeling my body shift and change. Fur sprouted across my skin and my bones broke and changed. Once the transformation was complete I stretched out my paws and shook my pure white fur.

       I glanced around the field, my senses were extremely heightened and I could hear every sound. In the distance I heard the chatter of students at school, I heard a door open and a soft greeting. I sighed happily before bouncing off toward the large forest that hugged the edge of the field.

       My wolf was humming softly in my head as we dodged through trees and jumped over logs. The air was cold and felt refreshing against my fur. As we ran further and further into the brush I lost all cares I had for the world. Running freely in this form was the greatest feeling. I was no longer a weak human who was covered in bruises... instead I was a strong white wolf with the power to take down an elephant!

      I pushed myself more and soon everything was a blur, I didn't want to stop. I never wanted to stop once I ran. The more I ran the less I worried about daily problems, it helped me feel no-

SNAP

I immediately skidded to a halt. My ears perked up and I held my breathe.

Theres another wolf nearby.. he warned.

        I nodded my head in agreement to the companion in my head. I let our a growl to give a warning to the stranger. Moments later a small sandy brown wolf stepped out of the shadows, my body tensed and I took a protective stance. She has silky fur and specks of gold across her back, her eyes were a piercing blue. She scanned me up and down before tilting her head and sitting down. She whimpered softly before an unknown voice spoke in my head.

"Im sorry! I didn't mean to frighten you." It was the wolf before me... I never knew there were other wolves in this town..

"Who are you?" I asked.

"My names Juliette and.. me and my wolf just wanted to get a run in before work this morning. I didn't know there were other wolves in this town." She said quizzically

"I thought the same. My names Dustin, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Same to you! Um.. would you like to join us?" She asked shyly.

      I barked a reply before bowing down and wagging my tail. She immediately jumped up and did the same before bolting off. I barked again before following after her, the thought of school completely leaving my mind.
