I want to bury myself in snow, If I told lions from another pride how my family treated me they'd probably either kill me for territory invasion or tell me I was being abused but I don't know I'm being abused because I'm so used to it, If my dad ever said 'good job' to me I'd probably shove snow down my throat because I'd think he'd have cancer and I wouldn't want to see him die. I snap back to reality, I'm freezing, I need to find shelter. Too late... I've fainted.
***
I wake up. I'm home. I don't want to be home, I'd rather die in the snow than come back here to a family with only one member that at least pretends to care about me. My mum's dead, my dad hates me, my sister hates me, "I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE!" I think, oh wait... I SAID IT ALOUD! Oh no... I look around for concerned faces, there are none, THANK GOD! Winter comes in "Hey sis... you feeling ok?," I turn away "Hey I'm sorry about the other day, I guess I'm just too smart and responsible for my own good." Normally when she apologises I hug her and say I'm sorry too, but not this time... Instead I take my anger out on her, I scratch her face and tear her ear off. She looks at me, horrified and shocked but soon her eyes are wet and she runs to dad. I wait to be roared at as soon as dad comes in but this time it's worse. He grabs the scruff of my neck, takes me at least 10 km away and throws me into the snow. At first I think it's a joke but when he walks away, I know it isn't. I'm alone... in the snow, freezing, crying, helpless.... I feel a pang of jealousy because of Winter's luck... dad loves her, she's appreciated and me, I'm just that useless maggot. I bet if she did that to me she's probably just be grounded fit ten minutes, not chucked out into the snow! I feel a stab of pain in my tail, it soon spreads to my back, then head, then eyes, then jaw and then finally the pain is gone. Everything is white, I want to kill her, she must die, SHE WILL DIE!!! Suddenly I'm floating, I have wings, sharp teeth, a sharp, blade-like tail tip and white eyes, I feel an urge to attack my pride, I do. I'm heading towards them... They're all going to die.
