Broken Bonds : The Rejected

A N A L I S E

          

My bare feet are tapping the marble floor beneath me. The cold is penetrating through white, thin night gown I am wearing. The chill makes Goosebumps appear on my skin and I shrug from coldness.

The hallway, where I am walking is dark, with small ray of light shining it to make way visible to me. It is leading at the place, from where the voices are coming. Sinister voices, which make me want to turn and run back, but I somehow know that there is no way to go back from where I came from.

"Analise." The voice is calling me with mixture of hate and love, coldness and warmth. "Come here my child." The voice is more sweet rather than evil. My legs start taking me towards the voice and they don't stop until I approach the large golden doors.

With the light touch the doors open, revealing a large wolf standing in the middle of the dark hall. The walls are the color of night, painted with little shining stars, while floor is marble, dark and cold. The ceiling is the most breath taking. The large Red Moon is painted all over the ceiling. The wolf standing in the middle of the hall is bloody red in color, with melted golden eyes and golden claws. I look at her, mesmerized, unable to form words in my mouth.

"Analise." The voice is coming from her and when she opens her mouth, I have full view on her bloodied teeth. "My name is Sylvia and I am your wolf." She says in voice full of authority. I gasp and start walking toward her in slow steps.

In the Ceremony, I thought I didn't even have a wolf as I couldn't feel her inside of me. Talking to your wolf is rare and happens once in a life time. If happens.

"Hello." I whisper, not knowing what to say. She smiles, I think she smiles and shakes her fury head. "I am happy to meet you." I whisper again and bow in front of her. I don't know why I did that, but something inside of me told me to do so.

"So, child of the red moon." She starts and chuckles at my confused expression. "You were born on Red Moon Day, day banished to have children. You are child of prophecy, you are my child." She chuckles again and comes near me. "You, my child are the girl who holds the power over dead and living." She whispers in voice full of knowledge and wisdom. "You will rule the world with power you have." She whispers and smiles at me with motherly smile.

"Why... Why didn't you make your presence in Ceremony?" I ask in low quivering voice. "Why did you not show them how powerful you are?" I ask now more demandingly.

"Because I don't want you in danger." She whispers and puts her paw on my shoulder, patting me a little. "There has been werewolves born on Red Moon Day, and none of them had this power. They were ordinary, weak, but ordinary." She says and moves a bit further away from me. "If they understand that it's you, who they are searching for... You will be hunted." I gulp, but nod, not saying anything else.

"So... You know that we..." I can't finish as pain hits me and I sob. She looks at me with pained expression and nods. "Aren't you mad at me?" I manage to ask between sobs.

"Not at you." She whispers in low voice and looks down. "He... took away happiness for both of us..." She whispers again sadly. "But we will manage. It will be painful, but I will help you. We will come though." She assures me and licks my cheek. "We will manage and once you will be able to feel no pain at all."

"You said..." I start in low voice. "You would help me, how? I know you can talk to your wolf only once in a lifetime." I murmur in low voice.

"Not if the wolf wants otherwise." She smiles gently at me. "And I will talk to you all the time, whenever you will want me to." She promises and smiles at me. "Now, you must go and remember... Don't pay attention to him, act as if you are made out of stone, make him jealous and make him taste his own medicine." She says with smile, showing all of her bloodied teeth.

  I snap my eyes open and look around. I am still in the living room and mom and Mike are looking at me with large eyes. Still thinking about the dream I touch the cheek, which is still wet and I smile. She is really her and it wasn't a dream.

"Lisa?" Mom calls me as soon as notices that I am awake. I sit up and I am immediately crushed into tight hug. "I am so sorry, sweetie." She whispers and kisses my forehead. "If you want I can talk to Ashton and-"

"No!" I interrupt her and shake my head. "I don't want to seem desperate. I don't want him. He rejected it and I accepted it. Yes, it hurts, but I can manage." I whisper with the power I didn't know I had inside of me. "After all, I am not the first person being rejected, right?" I give them flashy smile and shake my head.

The pain is still tingeing my heart, clenching it and squeezing it tightly, making me bleed internally. But I can manage it. I will not show him, how much he is hurting me.

" I am proud of you." Mom whispers and hugs me one more time. "I... will make dinner." She announces and looks at me and then at  Mike. "You will stay, right?" She asks and he nods uncomfortably. The second she leaves us I look at Mike and smile at him with all of my heart.

"Thank you." I whisper and he nods. I motion him next to me and he obeys, sitting next to me and smiling awkwardly at me. "Tomorrow will be harsh." I whisper as I put my head at the sofa.

"You are going tomorrow?" He asks me surprised and shocked as I nod. "Are you insane? Stay home for a day or two!"

"I don't know." I murmur and feel that he is right. I have to stay at home and gain strength. "I think I will stay. I will come next week most likely. I need to regain my strength and persona I was before... him." I whisper and smile at him.

Sylvia? Are you here?

I ask my wolf and pray that she answers me.

I am here. Don't worry, you are doing fine. It's okay, stay home and try to calm yourself before going back at school. Because when you return, you will be completely different person. Stronger and colder. You have to show him that you are way better than Samantha Anderson.

I mentally smirk and look at Mike, nudging him lightly in the arm.

"Come, dinner would be ready and I am hungry." I tell him and brag him into kitchen, where my precious food is waiting for me. Luke might have broken my heart and body, but he will never be able to break my soul and take away the most important part of my life, food.
