Chapter 1 The Breaking Point

''Day you know mom doesn't like when we are out past sunset. We could get in a lot of trouble'' I whined to my older sister Day she is a light golden blond color.

''then she should have told us what part of the forest to look for rabbits then tell us to go hunt them not to mention we had to avoid hunters in order to get back to the pack land and not bring them with us. Silverghost you need to relax for once. You are always so stressed out."

''I wonder why maybe it's the fact that mom hates me and takes out all her anger on me" I muttered. Day looked at me and shook her head and tried to change the subject but she knows I'm right. As we got close to the den we heard our lovely mother growl and tell us to hurry up. Day and I trotted into the den.

"What took you girls long?" snarled Belladonna, our mom. She is A dark gray almost black wolf covered in scars and blind in one eye due to a raid from another pack the other a deep brown, Day took after our dad. I am a mix of the two. I am a dark silver with white band across my eyes like a racoon along with white on my belly. I also have ice blue eyes .

"Sorry mom, we could not find any rabbits and we had to avoid some hunters." Day said taking a seat next to mom and I slinked to my corner of the den.

"At least I managed to find some old deer meat."

She and my sister ate first like always. I get the "privilege" to eat last and sometimes not at all but that is the normal sometimes if she can, Day sneaks me some and we even sneak out at night to try and catch something for me to eat. Day sends me a knowing glance because there was not enough food for her let alone both of us.

"It looks like you have a nasty thorn there, you poor thing. Here I will pull it out" Belladonna said in a nurturing voice.

I started to groom my silver fur. When I reached the end of my tail I found some burs there where some I could not reach and was going to need some help to reach them all. Crap.

"Hey can one of you help me get some of these burs out of my tail I can't reach them." i said tentatively knowing what the response will be,

"Pull them out yourself. Can't you see I'm busy." she snarled back.

"Ok mom" I said with a sigh hating that she makes me call her mom she is not my mom at least not to me,

"Do we have a problem here?"

"Of course not" I sighed and rolled my eyes. I just don't want to deal with her crap today. I am still healing from our last big fight. Our last fight ended with her biting down on my side and legs. I swear I have scars from her more than she has from her years of fighting for the pack. Thankfully Day convinced her that i was not worth it and she sent us off to get food. Man was that the wrong thing to say to her.

"What was that pest?" she said with her signature snarl that i have grown accustomed to over the years.

Here we go once it gets to this point she wants to fight and there is no calming her down. Day knew this and slunk to the other side of our den. I got up knowing that my "mother" was blocking the exit and I had my back against the wall so there was no getting out of this fight. We were at a stand still both showing our teeth growling and circling each other both ready for blood. Mom made the first move and swiped her claws across my face making a deep scratch most likely going to leave yet another nasty scar. I knew my next move needed to be calculated next time she lunged at me. I quickly moved and bit down on her right shoulder. She got out by biting my back feet and we went back to circling. Day ran out of the den most likely getting the guards as this is not ending anytime soon. I bit Belladonna's hind leg and clamp down, getting a whimper in response. She spun around and grabbed me by the fur before my tail and pulled, making me yelp out in pain letting go of her leg. At this point both me and Belladonna were covered in each other's blood both breathing heavily and eyes never leaving each other. I briefly looked to the exit to see if I could make a break for it, that's all that Belladonna needed and she lunged at me. Before I could even react mom clamped her jaws on my neck, I let out a cry feeling the blood roll down my neck. it was pointless to struggle, it would only make the wound worse. All I could do was whimper and try and scratch at her eyes to make her let go. But it was pointless. She just bit down harder, making me whimper and I could feel it getting harder and harder to breath. This is how I die. I can finally escape this shitty life. I was now gasping for air tring with the last of my breath to get free. I was just not strong enough. Everything was starting to fade to darkness. That's when she finally let go, well more like she was ripped off of me. I slumped to the ground and gasped for air to fill my almost empty lungs i looked up to see about three male wolves pinning my mom down as she was struggling to get up yelling something but i could not hear as there was a running in my ears and my vision went all blurry and the world was spinning then it all went black.

Voices I can hear voices, who are they? Where am i? Am I dead? Then I recognized them as Day and Lawrence. He is  is mine and Day's childhood best friend. He is almost two like a Day with me being only one. Then I could hear Servera was an elder who knew a lot about different herbs and she can use some of them to help with wounds.

"Is she going to be ok?" that was Day for sure

"All her minor woods will heal with time but that neck one is very nasty she is luck that it is winter and that she still has her winter fluff." Severa said, her voice growing as she moves closer.

I could hear Lawrence curse under his breath than something nudge my face than in a deep low voice i here  "I'm so sorry Ghosty that i couldn't get here faster.'' you could hear the pain and guilt in his voice Ghosty is what he like to use as a nickname and Day like silver i guess that what happens when you have two words as a name.

I couldn't move. I needed to tell him it's ok but I can't move. I let out a small whimper and tried to move. Finally I can start to get feeling back and I struggle to get up only to feel two heavy feet gently hold me down and hear Day trying to calm me. I stop struggling and open my eyes and look around. We are still in the den, blood coating the walls and the smell pungent in the air. I could see tufts of hair all over the place. Day was standing above me and Lawrence was the one holding me down but he got off once he realized that I was not thrashing around anymore. I whimpered as I had to move my neck to look at him, feeling a bit of blood trickle as I made the herbs break up exposing the wound. Severa was quick to fix that mumbling a nursery rhyme under her breath.

"Hey Ghosty your up" He moved closer so i could see him without me needing to move

When i tried to speak my voice was hoarse and raspy "still alive" that made both of them chuckle. Day licked my face and Lawrence nudged me again.

"What happened to Bella?" I was worried that she might be able to come back. This is not the first time that she has attacked me to the point she was dragged away but this was definitely the worst that she has done.

The mention of her name made Lawrence growled and he said in a deadly voice "she was dragged out she is going to be put on trial to see if they kill her or banish. She broke the most important rule of never hurting family. Ghosty she nearly killed you a few days ago we almost lost you"

"A few days ago" how could it be a few days! Was it out for that long?

"Silver you have been out for almost a week well you have woken up a few times but this is the longest you have been up for. They are holding off on a trial till you're strong enough to give your story." Day said laying down in front of my so we are level and Lawrence soon followed.

"Get some sleep Ghosty well fill you in more tomorrow but you need rest to get better well be here if you need us."

With that I drifted off to sleep.
