A World Without You

Chapter 6

Lucy's POV

Evan was already sitting in his desk, as I walked in he looked up at me and smirked. His eyes looked darker then usual, they looked almost slightly red. It didn't look real. My eyes met his for a split second and my whole body felt colder as it happened. I rushed to my seat and sat down, trying to figure out what I had just seen. Maybe Evans torture has finally made me go crazy and now I'm seeing things.

"Afternoon class, as everyone knows tonight is the full moon. And just like every other month our math class goes outside for the duration of the period. My way of giving you guys a bit of a break." Mr Bane, Our math teacher spoke, he was my favourite teacher. He was always so kind and understanding to me and my situation. He was close with my father before it all happened. He was a Close family friend. I really like how he lets us go outside, the weather is always nice out. The full moon around here is always amazingly beautiful, I always feel better when it's out like I wasn't weak anymore. 

"Come on boys let's go for a run" Evan said to Will and a few of his other friends. He looked at me a winked. His eyes even redder now. It was freaking me out and why did he wink? I just looked away. I didn't wanna deal with him today, today felt like it was the only day of the month I would survive. Evan and his buddy's always went for a run when Mr. Bane let us go outside. I never knew where they went off too but the never came back till class was over. I was great full for that.

"Pretty little lu, wanna come join us?" I looked up and was met with those cold red eyes.

"No. I can't I don't run." I said looking at my desk, his eyes were creeping me out. Why did he ask me this he never did.

"Aw are you afraid you won't be able to catch up? Or that maybe you won't come back?" He said the last part quietly so only him and I could here it. At that second I got up from my chair and went straight outside. I was so out of breath. I couldn't be here. I couldn't think. Evan keeps attacking me more and more lately. And my dads secrets are swimming around my head. I needed answers, I needed into that basement. I needed to know why Rick was still after me.

I grabbed all my stuff and I ran home, I was sill weak and hurting from being in the hospital but I didn't care. I kept running. I felt stronger today. I was ready to find answers.

When I finally got home my moms car was still in the driveway. Meaning she was up and got herself food or she was still sleeping off her hangover. I hoped she was still sleeping even if it was 1:30 in the afternoon. I quietly went inside and heard nothing, I went upstairs slowly hoping not to make any noise. She wasn't up, I could hear her gently snoring from her room. This was my change to get that Key. I carefully snuck inside her room looking around to see where she had left her purse. I looked on her desk and found it sitting on top of it. I found a small key on the zipped inside pocket of her purse. It was beautiful, small engravings on the key handle held the face of a wolf. Around the top loop of the key was a small tag that read basement. I smiled to myself. And quickly tiptoed out of my mother's room.

I made my way down to the basement door, that was on the inside of my fathers old office. Bracing myself with fear, excitement, and even adrenaline from taking the key. This was it, I'm sore that down here is where my father kept all the answers I needed. I looked at the picture of my father hanging above his desk.

"I know you said I'll know when the time is right, but I'm ready father. Ready for the missing pieces of this puzzle." I spoke softly knowing that where ever he was he would hear me.

I took the key from my pocket and slid it into the slot in the basement door, slowly I turned it until I hear the unlocking click. Carefully I opened the door. All I could see right away was a spiral staircase with golden hand rails and blue glass steps, a forest was painted on the brick walls around me. Bright lights turned on as soon as I walked through the door making the stair case glow and shine. I was shocked, I never imagined a staircase in my own home was this beautiful.

I made my way down taking in the beautiful sight, and as I reached the bottom more lights turned out and illuminated a huge room. On  the one side was wooden bookshelves with tree carvings on the sides with one shelve saying Rose Family History. On another it read Twilight Dawn Pack history. On the other side of the room was a huge table with many seats and paintings of wolves all around it. There was a half wall separating that from a large sitting area with a giant cave with a gate in the middle. It felt like a whole other house was down here. There was a hall at the send of the room that lead somewhere, but I was too focused on going to the selves and reading about the history of my family and figure out what the twilight dawn pack was.

There was what seemed like thousands of books, I had no clue where to start. my mind was full of questions. Where was I supposed to go to find the right answers. I went to the section about that twilight dawn pack and found a book called All the Questions, all the Answers. It seemed fitting for what I'm trying to figure out, almost to fitting.

I opened the book and started reading where the book began.

Question 1: How did the twilight pack start?

Century's ago a man who went by the name Avery Rose was thrown out of his home by his father at the young age of 16 just after his birthday but not yet before the first full moon of that age. He hadn't yet turned. His father couldn't bare with the fact that he had gained the power to turn when he had not. He hadn't  because he was too sick the handle it so a which had made him unable to Turn as he would be too weak and die. The father was angry because he thought he would be able to be strong enough but the which was not convinced. In this time period sickness meant inevitable death.The father took his anger out on Avery until he was 16 and able to turn once the first full moon hit its peak. The father threw him out of the village before Avery had his chance too turn.

Avery had turned for his first time into a giant and powerful black wolf with emerald eyes. But he had no pack, he was a rouge. Searching for his mate until one day he found a beautiful white wolf  by a waterfall getting a drink just after twilight. Her name was Dawn. They both felt the mate bond insistently and fell in love. They made a beautiful family that others were envy of. With Avery's strength and power and Dawns beauty and kindness. Many from all around joined them creating a pack that Avery was appointed Alpha too with Dawn as the Luna. Making what Avery named The Twilight Dawn Pack, because as Avery stated in the scripted document of the packs official statement making them a formal pack. " I Name this pack after the day I Met my beautiful Luna, as without her I would still be the black rouge"

Packs. Wolves. Alphas? Was I reading some sort of fiction? I couldn't be... but this made no sense. I thought shifters where only from fairytales and movies like twilight. But that name, Avery Rose. I heard my father tell me story's of my ancestors Avery and Dawn and how they came from the bottom to the top and how father always believed that no matter how hard life got there would always be good. So many questions where around my head more then in the first place, was my father a wolf? Was my mother? Am I.... what if I was what am I supposed to do? Who am I supposed to go too?  What happens when I turn?

At that moment I realize what today was, the full moon. The first full moon since iv been 16. Meaning if I am one I'll turn tonight. I began to be scared I didn't know what to think. How am I going to get through this alone?

I looked around a little more at the pictures on the walls when I came across when I couldn't believe. My father with his around around Rick, my mother on the other side of my father  holding me, and another women holding what I assumed was Evan beside rick. In the frame on the painting it read Alpha Rose's family with allied Red night packs Alpha James's family.

I guess that meant my father was a wolf, and so was my mother. What I didn't get was that if our so called pack and Ricks pack were allies why did Rick kill my father and why was I still being tortured when I've known nothing about any of this.
