Luna

Chapter 2

My feet touched the soft prickly grass, it almost tickled as I touched it.

The air was so fresh, so good smelling.

The sun,  it was bright, shiny, but most of all, it burned. My arms started to feeling warm. Hot. Really hot.

It is most definitely August.

I had not been outside since I was 10. And I am 17.

I felt adrenaline run through me, and next thing I know, I'm running into the woods, by myself, finding freedom.

********

I don't know how far I had run, but I stopped at a beautiful lake, my legs shaking as I hit the ground, I whimper aloud as the rocks jab my knees.

I use my arms and drag myself to the lake. The cool water hitting my hands first. I sit down in the lake, my full body submerged. I start to scrub all the dirt and mud off of myself,  I wet my hair and run my fingers through it nicely. My reflection deceived me when I looked in the water.

This isnt me. That girl was pale, sad looking with scars all over her.

I'm caramel skinned, with long silky black hair and no scars whatsoever.

I drink some of the water going past me, I cup it with my now clean-ish hands, and sip it.

It was refreshing, nice, cold.

I get up out of the water and lay down on the ground by a rock, my body shaking from being wet. From then, I fall into a needed deep sleep.

She looked warn out, sad, alone, hungry.

I felt the urge to help her.

"What do you want us to do Alpha?" My side- Leo, growled.

Typically we kill Rogues- or any wolf to that matter, that doesn't belong to our pack and are traveling on our land. But.

She was different.

One of the men stepped closer to her and I growled loudly, they then took a step back.

"We take her home," I pick her up and start walking away.

"Are you sure alpha? She could harm the pack," Leo spoke.

"I'm more then sure," I yelled, "now let's go!"

(Dawn POV)

I woke up in a comfy bed, it was huge. I was hugging a huge pillow and the blankets were smothering me, in a good way.

The sun peaked through the see-through white curtains. I was in a womens bedroom.

There were pale pink walls, golden furniture and books, everywheres.

I take a breath in as I looked around.

A door opens and I'm startled, I fall off the bed with a thump. I hear a girly chuckle as I look up.

My eyes meet a blonde girls brown eyes, she smiles at me so kindly and holds out her hand, I flinch, then taking her hand she helps me up onto my feet.

"Wow, your eyes are gorgeous," she takes a moment to look into them for a while. I stand still, not quite sure what to do.

"Oh!" She shakes her head, "my name is Accalia, but you can call me Cali," she holds out her hand.

I shyly take it and she shakes my hand aggressively. "I'll show you where the bathroom is so you can freshen up, and I'll leave you some clothes afterwards." She smiles leading me to the bathroom.

Her voice was very soft and warming, "that's the shampoo and conditioner, that's the body wash- is this warm enough for you?" She has her hand under the faucet while water was running. I stick my hand underneath and shake my head rapidly.

"Is there anything else you need?" She grabs out some towel and a facecloth.

I shake my head no, she smiles, "you don't talk much but I think you and I will be good friends."

I hesitantly smile back at her, she puts the towels down on the sink and closes the door behind her.

I stare at the door for a while, expecting that women to come in and laugh at me and tell me to start cleaning. And if it wasn't her, then a man, a man who was going to do what they did. A man who was going to whip me. I calm myself.

I take a breath in. Where am I? The walls were a pale blue with white embroidery on the walls. The sink was white marble and the mirror had a white boarder with beautiful markings on it. The toilet was just white marble and so was the stand up shower, the stand up shower was glass but it had changed to non see-through as I stepped in after taking off my clothes.

There was white marble tiles in the shower, and shelves upon shelves, holding different things.

I let the warm water hit my body, it gave me goose bumps as it hit my cold fragile skin.

A smile appeared on my face, I hadn't had a nice shower in months- years. They always made me have a cold shower, and that was if I was going to have a shower.

I then start washing my hair, massaging the shampoo into my hair and head I watch all the dirt washing away. My hair squeaked as it was being washed. I then put in conditioner.

After the conditioner was washed out I started to scrub my body. The water basically black as it went into the drain.

I felt refreshed, new, and finally clean.

I turn off the shower and grab a towel, drying my hair I then twist it in my hair and throw it over my head. Then I dry off my body wrapping the towel around my body and walking out into the room I was in before.

As always I walk out with caution, scared I was going to be grabbed and have the worst done to me. But instead when I walk out.

There on the bed was nicely folded clean clothing. I let out a breath smiling.

I put on all the clothing as the soft fabrics touch my skin. I was wearing a long sleeve over the shoulder black shirt that ruffled in the front and some nice lightly washed out Jean's that smelt new. Then I put on some black socks.

I liked the outfit. I mentally thanked Cali for the clothes as I walked over to the window to look out it.

I heard a knock on the door and it slowly opening.

Cali on the other end pokes her head out and holds up a brush smiling.
