13 - Broken

Yawn. No I'm not tired. That's what I keep saying. But I'm lying. I didn't sleep last night. Not even a wink of sleep. I couldn't help it, I was so nervous. I'm meeting Jake's pack today. Yeah, it's Saturday. Yesterday at school was pretty cool, I met Nicole s mate, Xander. Yeah. He's pretty cool. They're in Max' s and Becca' s pack. It seemed all my friends were. Apart from Kellie, Cole, James and Jake. Yeah, I made them all sit with me at lunch, with Max and Becca, the guys and Eva. Nathan went to a different school so yeah.

But anyways that was yesterday. Today I have to look nice if I'm going to be presented to a bunch of werewolves. No pressure. Jake talked his 'parents' into it. His dad wasn't so keen, yet he knew that they were going to have to fight anyway. Or else they'll just be slaves the rest of their lives. Fun right? Please. I'm being sarcastic. Of course. As always. Meh. Kellie was already over at the pack house, with Cole. They were playing rounders with the pack and Jake. To say I was jealous was true. Partly. I guess I'm freaking out around the pack. If I'm ever going to be their Luna. I don't want them to hate me. That would suck.

I dug my spoon angrily into some chocolate fudge brownie ice cream. I shoved it into my mouth and growled. I wasn't in a good mood; even mum had left the house! She was on yet another date with what's-his-face. Ya. I forgot his name. My possible step dad. Don't get me wrong, I want my Mum to be happy but I don't want someone thinking they could ever replace my dad, they can't. I groaned out load. Brain freeze.

"Arghhh!" I yelled as I kicked my foot on the wooden stool. That hurt. I threw my ice cream in the kitchen, landing somewhere in the kitchen, then I marched upstairs to shower. My body was all heated again. Like before, at school. It hurts like poop. I yelled again, streaming out my frustration. It's all I could do right now. I'm so glad the house is my own at this moment; mum would be furious. I ran into the bathroom and ran the shower, I put it on the coldest temperature possible. My skin was on fire. Not literally. That would freak me out.

I stripped my clothes off in a hurry and jumped into the shower. The cold water created steam as it touched my warm body. I screamed as my neck began to string like a thousand bees ganging up on me all at once. The water wasn't helping. It was pathetic. Like an annoying bug that you can feel only a tiny bit. My body soon became very itchy and I turned the water up full blast. I screeched as a bone cracked in my body. What was happening to me? I collapsed to the ground and clutched my ribs and squealed out in pain as I felt another bone crackle.

"Ahhhhhhh!" I screamed out. Nobody heard me as I cried out on the shower floor. I slipped slightly as I pressed myself in a corner. I put my knees to my face and begged for the pain to stop. It was the worst thing I had ever felt. But worse was that I didn't think it was going to stop anytime soon. I bit down on my lip, drawing blood but biting back a blood curdling scream. I hoped Jake's connection with me didn't feel this pain I felt now. I wanted to know what it was. What was doing this to me. How do I make it stop?

I turned the shower off and crawled along the ground. I cringed back in pain at the feel of my bones aching, refusing to move. I yelled out loud. I screamed. Then I cried. Screaming over and over, my pleas willing the pain to stop. To leave me. But it never did. My sight became blurry mixed with tears and more bones cracked in my body. I screeched out in pain and passed out on the ground.

I know I was. I know I was dreaming. Jake was beside me. His black wolf brushing its fur against my own. My wolf. I nuzzled into him. We took off, into the woods, happy. I'm sure I'm dreaming. More wolves came beside us. I noticed everyone. Kellie, Cole, James, Nicole, Becca, Max and...Dad. I howled in joy and jumped up on my dad. He gave me a wolfish grin and I heard his voice in my mind. He was talking to me. He was proud of me. He loved me. I yipped in joy and then raced against Jake into the sunset. The wind rustling through my pelt. I had to do what I did. I let my tongue hang out in the wind and licked it. Hehe.
