I have arrived at Brona’s to see that the Parcell’s and her were already waiting for me outside. I shuffle my feet through the leaves, the crunching sound was comforting to me. My eyes remained focused on the ground as I shuffled up to where they were. The morning air was crisp and cold as I breathed it through my lungs.

“It’s about time,” Shirley seethed. I just cibtinued to stare at my feet. The anger I had for Shirley was all building up by the second. I could feel my blood boiling, toes curling, and my fists going pale. My whole body began to shake as I squeezed my eyes closed. My breathing became rapid.

“Fay no,” Brona said calmly. She placed her hand lightly on my shoulder and I just shoved it off harshly. I was pissed at Shirley for threatening my mother, for what she said to me yesterday, and just because she was fucking Shirley. Everything about her made me want to fly off the handle.

Silence and distress filled the air. I bet this didn’t go as they expected. I laughed a cruel and sickening laugh that rumbled through the air. I could feel everyone on guard. I was trying to calm myself down to where I would stop shaking. I looked up at Shirley and I’m sure my sole eye was shining bright gold with the black spots neatly placed around my pupil while my iris was rimmed with a neon blue.

I tilted my head and gave her a smirk my fangs protruded from my lips. She snarled trying to intimidate me, ha! A low growl rumbled through my chest. Despite her hardening facial expression, Shirley’s fearful eyes deceived her. She began circling me slowly. Everyone else backed away and just watched. They were all mesmerized by the show that I and Shirley were providing for them.

I kept my body as relaxed as possible as I was waring myself of Shirley's every move. I knew I could rip her to shreds, she knew I could rip her to shreds. That’s why she was taking so long to make her move. Here the mighty Shirley, afraid. Afraid of little me. Here we go I can feel it through my bones, she’s….

“That’s enough,” Gordon roared. I, Shirley, and Anthony turned to look at him like the scared little puppies we were, while Brona was…wait where she go? “Fay grab your bags and stand by me. Shirley go home.”

“But,” Shirley began to protest her eyes pleading as she played the innocent and helpless card, but Gordon wasn’t having any of it today. He actually roared this time and may I say it’s one of the scariest sounds you could ever hear. It vibrates through your whole body and shakes the solid ground you're standing on. I felt like I was going to piss myself at that moment. I’ve never seen Gordon mad, it was a strange sight.  

Shirley grunted before she went all wolf and ran back towards their home. I giggled at Shirley, then immediately stopped once I saw the expression on Gordon’s face. I looked away from him awkwardly while biting my lip. My bad…

“Now as for you two try to make the most of this trip. Talk things out, or at least try too. No killing each other,” Gordon said in his Alpha tone. His Alpha tone did not have the effect on me as it did on Anthony. Anthony has to follow what his grandfather says no matter what. Despite Gordon having literally no control over me I still respect his wishes for now at least.

I and Anthony both nodded to Gordon. He seemed pretty pleased by our responses. I felt a tap on my shoulder. Brona decided to show up again. She gave me a knowing smile reminding me of our plan. She motioned I and Anthony to take either of her hands.

“Now close your eyes my dears and welcome to Sovey,” she whispered. When I closed my eyes I felt a burst of wind brush through my body. When I reopened my eyes I was gifted by the sight of the lovely land that is Sovey.

This lovely place sadly will be my own personally hell for the next two weeks while I stay with it. Hey at least it’ll be an interesting story I could tell later.
