Chasing The Moon (Watty Awards 2012)

Torture:

Torture:

I hid in the girls bathroom hoping that they would just leave me alone. I hadn't done anything to them to deserve this, I hadn't even talked to them.

Just because my dad abandoned the pack doesn't mean that I had anything to do with it. Yeah he had left and wasn't planning on going back, but that had nothing to do with me!

"Ruby, I know you are in here! We just want to talk to you!" came the evil voice that I associated with Misty the girl who thought she was supposed to get her way and that the world revolved around her.

(What I picture Ruby to look like >>>>>).

I shifted forms and ran out of the open bathroom exit door and across the soccer field. It would take them several minutes to realize that I was gone, and hopefully by that time I would be long gone!

However my luck abandoned me and I could hear them running after me in their wolf forms and something told me that I was in for hell this time.

I made it into the woods before Misty tackled me to the ground and growled in my ear.

"You can't escape us, Ruby! We know where you live and we can just go there!" she said through our packs mind link.

Her evil minions made sounds of barking laughter and then circled around me.

"We just want to give you a going away present, Ruby!" I could hear the laughter in Misty's all to sweet voice, "After all, we won't see you anymore after this! We're going to miss you."

I cringed when she snapped her jaws in my right ear and waited for the pain to start.

Hopefully they would kill me this time, because I was done being treated like this. 

When the pain did hit I whimpered out. 

I could feel their teeth and claws sinking into my flesh as they ripped and tore.

They knew I wouldn't scar, but they wanted me to be in pain for a long time, and they were going to succeed.

Misty bit deep into the back of my neck and held on until she knew I was passing out, and then when she let go she said, "I hope you enjoy our little present, Ruby! We just want to let you know that we love you so much!"

I felt sick to my stomach at her words, and I prayed that this time I would bleed to death and not have to go home like this.

I waited as the darkness took me and I could hear them running away, before I let the tears start rolling down my face.

I couldn't wait to get out of here!

Some time later that evening I woke up. I could tell that it was late because the sun was starting to set.

I tried moving but I hurt so much and I was so weak that I just collapsed back down onto the ground.

I mentally took damage stats and tried to feel what had been done to me.

I could feel blood caked in the fur on my back and on my shoulders. The wound that Misty had placed on my neck was starting to heal but I could still feel blood pouring out of it and the bite marks on all of my legs were closing over.

If I hadn't been so afraid of the consequences I would have fought back, but a seven on one battle is hardly fair and I think I would have been in a much worse situation then I was in now.

I slowly raised myself to my feet and started limping my way towards home. Hopefully everything would be healed by the time I got there, but I kind of doubted it.
