The Queen of Stars

Chapter 6

"Are you ok?" Ava whispers. She walks over to me and helps me up, eyeing my red cheek. I gave her a small smile. 

" It should be me asking you that." My eyes trace her petite figure. " What heave they done to you." I whisper. She looked like she had been dragged through a battle ground. No part of her body didn't hold some kind of wound or scar. She looked up at me, her blue eyes curious. 

" Whats your name?" She asks. 

" Uh, Sass." I reply. I'm not too sure wether i should of used my real name or a fake one. I went with the safe option, fake name. Sass seemed fitting too considering my full name was Stella Aroha Silver. Aroha, my parents and their New Zealand heritage. But my mother told me that My Godfather Arthur had chosen it for me. It was fitting. Stella Aroha Silver, my initials being Sas, Sass. I smile to myself softly. 

" You already know what my name is." She replies. She walks into the room at the back of the corridor on the left. Opening the creaky door i peaked my head around. I look around the room that i was to call home for the next while. The wall paper needed to despratly be changed. It was ment to be grey but instead bad blood and dirt stains all over it. It was a small room but i would do. I was thankful that they had the decency to give me clean sheets but the rusty bed could of been in better shape and the old wooden draws seemed lke someone had practise throwing a knife at it. I look over at Ava. She just shrugged. 

" It is was it is. We get what we get." She mutters. I nodd my head in reply. I grab my small suitcase and place it in the corner by the draws. 

" So Ava, tell me whats the protecal around here. Whos who. What is this place."  I look around. There was no window witch would of been nice. A wolf need air quite often so he fact they depribed us of that is cruel. I pat the bed and Ava hesitantly sits down next to me. 

" Well the bacement is more like the Omegas quarters. Back when the Alphas father ruled it was a nice space that was just for us where we would come down, laugh and it would be a happy calm place for us. Then the new Alpha took over. The pack had been slightly abusive but never ever in front of the alpha. Then the new Alpha took over when he was 16 . He killed the Alpha his own father because his father we refusing to let him have control of the pack. he had found out about him killing a pack member. When he took over everything went to hell. Us omegas became a punching bag and these hallway are riddled with blood and dirt from the alpha himself. He's cruel Sass. Vial. Us Omegas we are exiles, we are nobodies. The Alpha just recently killed my friend Judy for speaking up for me when he ran a knife down my back." She turned showing me the horrific scar. My mouth had dropped open in shock. Pain and sorrow etched across my face. 

" We wake up at 5 am every morning. We clean around the whole pack and cook the whole pack breakfast. We do not speak to anyone unless we are saying  Yes madam or yes Sir. Or in the case of the higher ranks Yes Alpha, yes beta and so on. We alowed the scrap food, nothing more. Most times there isn;t anything left. We do what we are told. We only get Sundays off, we spend all of our time down here not in the pack house and not near anybody else, nobody comes down here. Today was the first time someone had come down here in a year. If we defy our Alpha or Beta we will face whatever punishment they give us. Do not talk Sass. Do not try defend me either. You will only end up dead. " I shivered in fear. 

" How old are you?" I whisper. 

" I'm fifteen in a month." She whispered back. I was shocked. She wasn't much older than me. Yet she had probably endured this kind of abuse for years upon years. Thats not right. That is breaking so many laws, human and werewolf. 

" Does such a place really exsist?" I say gestering. She nods. 

" Your living in it."
