Chapter 5

The girl who cried wolf

I wish I wasn't who I was. I'm a werewolf. I'm a reject. I'm.. not normal.

I know it sounds insecure and extremly whiny. But look at what I can do. I can hurt people. I have hurt people. I grew up in lab. A cruel dark place. I was constantly afraid.

The other girls would scratch me and push me because I was too little,too weak. One day I woke up to screams that will stay with me for the rest of my life. The girls were fighting each other. They were going to kill each other but even worst they were attacking the staff members.

Blood dripped down the wall and I was so shocked and scared I hide in the corner. I knew if I screamed for help they'd attack me and the people who would come to help. I stayed in the corner crying silently. After the accident, a guard and nurse came in a told me I was good and smart and I did the right thing. They let me play with some toys and read.

When I came to my room I thought I heard wrong but I kept hearing snarls and growls coming from another room. I headed into my room to see four empty beds. They had scratch marks all over them. The sheets were torn. As usual a nurse came in and told me the girls were being punished and I got my own room. Its sick to think I was happy that they were "punished". But I was four so I thought nothing of it.

A few days later this nice man began to visit me. He brought me toys and chocolates. He told me I was smart and pretty. I liked him a lot. He had kind eyes unlike everyone else I was surrounded by. He said he liked me too and he wished he had a daughter. I felt bad for the man and asked where his wife was. He said he didn't have one.

For the first time in my little life I hugged the man. I'd never hugged someone before but I knew it looked nice. He didn't look scared he hugged me back and called me sweet. He was different. Everyone else pretended like they weren't scared of me but I could feel it. I knew they didn't like me. They were afraid of me. He wasn't.

He started visiting me every day and one day he asked me to come home with him. I never felt so happy in my life. I would have packed all my stuff but I didn't have any stuff. So they let me leave with him and I took my first breath of fresh air. We weren't allow outside in the lab except a small area with some toys with guards around.

I was free. He freed me and he told me my last name. And that last name is Souza.
