Out of the Woods

I'm weak but I'll live

Crawling, I exhaled loudly and clutching my stomach where he hit me. Every muscle in my body ached so much. My tears didn't escape from my face as I looked at the dirty ceiling in his abandoned building. This is where he put me as he hit me with his bare hands. I wanted to shout, I wanted to fight but I can't. I'm weak, he's strong. I can't fight the Alpha of the Deveded Pack.

"You know, for a girl whose weak you're healing so fast." Alpha David said as he light his cigarette and watching me. "And I like it."

I closed my eyes and prayed to the Moon Goddess that I can endure this time again. My body used to this. Every week, he will come to me and dragged me here in his abandoned building and beating the life of me. Every time his mate and him are not in good terms or there were some problems in the pack, he will beat the shit out of me. It was like I was his punching bag.

I want to kill him and make his head a trophy.

Meles said at the back of my head. She was hurting and it is not for herself, but for me. Meles is the name of my wolf. From the moment my wolf showed up into me, she had this attitude that I don't understand. She was prideful and serious. I don't know why but I found myself believing that someday, I'll be stronger and powerful just like my wolf. She always believe in me. She always giving me hope that I'll escape this nightmare that I had.

Calmn down Meles. Just heal me. I said to her. She growled at me and disappeared. I can feel my wounds started to heal, the big cut on my knee started to close and my stomach which he punched earlier is not hurt anymore.

"Yes! Good Girl. Heal yourself again so I can beat you." Alpha David laughed.

Oh no. He will do it again. He's a monster, so much monster than the vampire and rogues. He was addicted to my healing ability. He wanted to beat me again and again because I was healing so fast unlike any other wolf. I wanted to know why I was healing so fast but Meles never said anything to me. Alpha David get something in his pocket and I wanted to scream when I saw a knife on his hand.

"P-Please d-don't." I plead.

Alpha David shake his head and grinned, "You will love this Lilac. Imagine the scars that would I make to your cheeks. It's an art." He said and licks the knife using his tongue.

My tears were streaming down on my face. I hurriedly stand up, thanks to Meles healing that my feet are now okay.

"P-Please Alpha. D-Don't do this please." I begged but all he answered were his laugh.

I'll fucking kill him! Lilac, shift! I'll make this man pay for what he did! SHIFT!

Meles shouted at me. I wanted to shift but I can't. It was like all my strength went gone. Alpha David slowly came to me. He was playing with his knife while looking at me like I was his last meal.

"A-Alpha, please." I said.

"Lilac Lilac Lilac. Such a lovely name for a beautiful girl." He sing, "And with the scar that I'll make to your beautiful cheeks, it will such a shame."

He pointed his knife to my face. All blood on my face drained. No, please. He can't do this. Mom! Dad! Help me! Why?! Why I must live like this?!

"A-Alpha." I cried. He roughly cupped my cheeks. I pushed him but all of it was useless. I tried to knee his crouch but he simply caught my knee causing my body to fall in my back. My back met the cold floor.

"Don't cry, this pain will go away." He said.

"No!" I screamed. "No! No! Please Alpha! No!"

Lilac! Lilac!

I heared Meles shouted at me. My visions went blurred as I looked at the face of Alpha David. He was smiling. He was devishly smiling at me. I continued to scream when I felt the cold steel on my cheeks.

"Say bye bye to your cheeks." He said.

He was laughing. Meles growled and I screamed when the door opened.

"Alpha!"

Alpha David stopped and glared at the man who interrupted.

"What do you want Fred?" he angrily said. Beta Fred looked at him and to me. He was looking seriously at me like he wanted to say something.

Beta Fred gulped, "The Guards at the border noticed something."

Alpha David let go of my face and stand up, looking at Beta Fred.

"What did they noticed?" he asked.

"It was some message coming from a certain pack, Alpha." Beta Fred answered.

I noticed Alpha David became tensed when he heard Beta Fred said. It was like he was terrified something. "What pack is it?" he asked again.

Beta Fred gulped, "It was from the RedMoon Pack."

"Fucking Shit!" Alpha David growled and without a minute, he shifted into his brown wolf and existed the door.

I slowly inhaled and exhaled. All the strength that Meles gave me went gone when I struggled to fight Alpha David. I closed my eyes and touched my face. All tears went dry and I know I looked like shit. I noticed that I was not alone, I thought Beta Fred went gone but there he was standing and staring at me. We were just staring but then he looked away. I heared him inhaled loudly and leave.

Lilac?

Yeah?

Let's go.

*****

My body is now okay, there's some pain at the back of my body and my knees but I can walk. I made my way to my house which is far away from the abandoned building. The Deveded Pack is not a large pack but not small too. The place was surrounded by many high trees like in the Wrong Turn Movie. As I was walking, I met some people and all of them giving me a disgusting look. Who would it be? I was covered by my own blood and I smell shit. My eyes were puffy from crying and my nose is red. My light brown hair were out of place and they were bruise in my face from the punched that Alpha David gave.

Someone throw a small rock at me and I stopped walking. I faced them and giving them a blank stares. They were three of them, one girl and two boys. They were younger than me but yeah, goodbye respect.

"Hey Lilac! Did Alpha beat you again?" the skinny boy asked me. His two friends laughed at me.

I hate all of them. They know what happened to me and yet, they just laughed at me like I was making some funny jokes.

I looked away and continue to walk. I can feel my tears were coming so I inhaled to stop it. I'm not going to cry again. I know I'm weak but I will live. I will continue to fight and when the time is right, I'll go away, away from this cruel world.
