Lost and Found

Run Charlie, Run

Run Charlie, Run
Chapter 1

I walk downstairs, cautious to not wake up the sleeping beast. I look in the mirror to examine my bruises from last nights beating (the worst I've ever gotten actually.) I stared at myself for a while, disgusted at how many bruises and cuts I had. "Do it Charlie. Run Charlie, run.", My wolf says. I think for a minute and nod my head while still looking in the mirror. "Okay.", I whisper back. I run quietly upstairs, my feet barley touching the ground, when I get to my room I pack all the clothes that could fit in my bag, (and teeth care etc.) I write a note to my so called family saying this, "Goodbye. -Charlie", and that's it, they don't deserve an explanation.
I walked outside and took a deep breath of fresh air and started walking towards the woods so that I could shift into my white wolf that had half of a circle on my left side that was black (A/N the black part of the ying yang symbol). When I reach the woods I hear the Alpha shouting for trackers to look for me, I quickly strip of my clothing then shift into my wolf, it hurt because I hardly got to shift but it was a hurt that felt good, like when you stretch your muscles after waking up. I picked up the bag in my jaw and starting running as fast as I could without hitting trees or injuring myself. I kept running for around two hours until I began to smell another territory. "Just run through their territory and don't stop unless you need sleep.", my wolf orders. I decide to listen to her because I mean, she knows more than I do. The territory like comes closer and closer and I kept running fast and faster. Finally I reach the border line and I sprint across their territory, smiling as I felt the pack bond break, not caring that I was now a rogue.
I kept running until night fall, I was so worn out that I nearly collapsed at the little stream that I found. I look in the reflection of the water and see that I still had a big cut across my face. You see, they even beat me in wolf form, because I was different. I look around for a minute and see a cave not to far from where I was standing and I didn't smell any other animal occupying it so I went there for the night.
I was sleeping soundly until I was awoken by growling and snarling. "Come out shifted!", a wolf says, probably the beta. I walk out in my human form with baggy shorts on and a over sized shirt on. I watch as the beta examines my bruises and cuts on my face and arms and legs (he couldn't see the ones on my back and stomach because my shirt.) "What are you doing on our territory, rogue?", he asks sternly.
"I was just passing through,sir.", I say quietly and drop my head. It was still night time when they found me. "Let's just a kill her now!", one wolf growls. "No. We're taking her to the dungeon until the Alpha and the upcoming Alpha can see her.", the Beta says.
Two men grab my arms and start to walk me back to the pack house. I drop my head and walk. I look in just in time to see the massive gates to the house- err- mansion? I'm dragged through the front doors and down wooden steps, soon I'm thrown in a cell, in the dungeon. "I-I just wanted to be free.", I croak out. I hear someone chuckling in the next cell over. "Free? You can never be free when you're a werewolf. You'll always belong in a pack, obeying an alpha, or die a rogue, alone and scared.", the wolf says harshly. "I know..", is all I say before I hear the dungeon door slam open. I watch as a guard slides a tray with food on it underneath the cell door. I hear the Wolf scarfing down his food.
"Do you want mine?", I ask him.
"You ain't going to eat?"
"No."
"Well then yes please.", he says huskily.
I slide him my tray of food underneath the cell wall. I hear him eat that too and he burps.
"Thank you very much.", he says.
"You're welcome very much.", I laugh lightly. Soon after I fall asleep.
I'm awoken by the wolf talking to me.
"Hey kid, wake up.", he says to me. I flutter my eyes open. "Come closer to the cell wall so I can see you better, I'm Adam by the way.", he says seeing that I'm awake.
I scoot closer to the cell wall so I could see him, he could only be nineteen. He had brown swoopy hair green eyes. "Hi Adam. I'm Charlie.", I say when I get into the light.
"Hello Charlie. Err if you don't mind me asking, who did that to you?"
"My old pack, the night I bolted."
"I see, I see. Well if it ma-", he was cut off by the dungeon door opening and 3 men walking in. One was the guard who gave me and Adam food last night, the other two looked like the Alpha and soon to be Alpha.
"Come here female rogue.", the guard snaps. I walk towards the cell door and the guard opens it and grabs my wrist as the two other men watch. He pulls me up the stairs and I give Adam a scared look. Soon we arrive to an office that says 'Alpha Trent / Alpha Alex' we enter and I'm thrown onto the floor in front of the desk and my knees start to bleed.
"What were you doing on our territory, rogue?", the Alpha asks me.
"Just passing through sir."
"Mhm. And where did you get those bruises and cuts?"
"My old pack.", I say bitterly.
"You're old pack did this to you? So you don't have a pack??", the soon to be alpha says. Before I could answer the Alpha starts coughing. He puts a tissue to his mouth and blood is splattered onto the tissue. I watch in horror as the alpha falls to his knees and gasps for air while clutching his chest.
"SOMEONE CALL THE PACK DOCTOR!!", the soon to be alpha shouts. I rush over to the alpha and help him lay down. I put the couch pillow under his head. The soon to be alpha whispers to the guard. "I think Im the alpha now." The alpha lays helplessly on the ground as he drowns in his own blood with doctors surrounded by him and his son, watching, trying not to tear up.
