The Lycan Metamorphosis

PROLOGUE - When The Towers Fell

Prologue - When The Towers Fell

All breaths were held, eyes were opened and there was complete silence. Every person in Washington are focused on the two buildings- the world trade center. Then one of the two airplanes flying around the building suddenly crashed into the upper half of the building. Every one gasped and then second later all you can hear are shouts and cries. My chest seems to clench tighter. I cannot breathe. Rowel, my body guard, must have noticed it. He ran towards me then caught me from my back. Some people in the restaurant looked at me while some continued crying.

"Ms. Yvonne! Ms. Yvonne! Can you hear me? Ms Yvonne!" Rowel shouted while shaking me on the shoulders. He looked so worried sick and I don't like it. People who worry about me are the first ones in my hate list. Well, except for my mom.

My mom...

The image of my mom flooded inside my head. Then there came my dad. My head is starting to hurt. My eyelids are starting to become heavy. I want to sleep.

"Ms. Yvonne!" Rowel shouted again. I wanted to slap his face for shouting me in the face like that. No one dared to even raise their voice when I am around and my body guard just shouted on my face. Literally! I glared at him and tried to look angry as I was but failed miserably. My eyelids are closing.

"Momma... she's in the... tower" I managed to say through my sobs. That's the only time I realized I was crying. And when I said those words, the pain I was feeling doubled. Then everything went black.

***********************************************************************************************************

All I can hear is beeping of... something. It's too quiet for my liking. I tried to move but my body seems a little heavier than usual. Why? I opened my eyes slowly. My vision was a little blurry at first but gets better little by little. After a minute later, I found myself staring at the ceiling - white ceiling to be exact. I looked around and saw an apparatus I never saw before. It was the thing that was beeping and having those moving lines on the small screen. I don't know what it's called.

I looked through the big window in front of me beside the white door. There were people walking pass this room - People who have stethoscope around their necks.

Only that time I realized that I was in a hospital, but why? Then slowly, the thoughts of my mom and dad flooded in my head. The tower... collapsed. My heart beat was getting faster and faster. "mom... dad..."

All of a sudden the door opened making a loud banging sound to the wall. It was Rowel. He is always there for me when I needed him. He is like my big brother.

"Yvonne, what's wrong?" he asked a little panicked but I can say that he is hiding it from me, while he pushed the nurse button beside me.

"Rowel, where is my Mom? Is she okay?" I asked him back. Even if I am only 12, I always have this attitude to care for the people I love than myself.

"Hush Yvonne, you don't have to deal with it right now. You need to take a rest." He cooed. I don't like the sound of it. Why doesn't he just tell me that they are okay so that my heart will be at peace? I opened my mouth to ask the question I was just asking myself but closed it again. What if they are not? Maybe that's why he doesn't want me to deal with it right now. The second thought is just plain unbearable. Maybe...
