Sabrina Pov
When Alpha came over to check on Jasmine and gave us his news, I flipped. I went upstairs and I tore my room apart. My parents left me alone. They knew the pain I was feeling, knowing there was nothing I could do about it. I had always had an anger problem and I knew one day it was gonna get me killed, but I would keep them safe before I had ever let anything like that happen to me.
After Jasmine fell back asleep, I jumped out my window, landing on my feet. The moon was bright in the sky and the stars were shining. I couldn't bring myself to tell her we had just buried her parents today. It's already too much on her, but I will ease up with her about it. My dad was out back chopping wood. This is something he would do when he is angry or frustrated, or sometimes both.
"Dad" I greeted him, and he nodded towards me, still chopping. I sat on the ground and leaned my back against the wall. Sometimes we would just be like this for hours. It was our thing, much like our motto. We have a special motto that came from the movie by Laura Croft, Tomb Raider. He would tell me our family has responsibilities" as he put his forehead on mine. I replied with "Jobs to Do". It's our thing. As I sit here, all I can think about is how they want to make her live in those sloppy huts. We asked them to let her live with us, as I'd been thrilled to have Jasmine live with me, but Alpha said no.
" She must face the consequences of her actions," he said. It's like he is trying to push her to a breaking point.
"Dad, I wanted to know what happened to those rouges," I asked him. He had stopped chopping wood and was taking a break.
" They were killed by our soldiers, but one got away" he growls lowly, his eyes going from black to green. I wonder if that's what's bothering him.
" I wanted to go to the cabin they are making her sleep in and fix it up for her. Will you help me?" I asked him and he nodded.
" Way ahead of your sport. Your mom and I have already gone there a few times to start working on it for her. The alpha agreed to let us do so, even though we can't make it fancy. It isn't much, but it's much more livable than it was before" he tells me, causing me to feel just a bit better, though I cringe at the fact that our alpha would even permit him. He is such an asshole. Everyone here is.
"Why are we even still here dad? We should just take Jasmine and get away from this awful pack. Anything is better than being in this dark place. There is so much evil here", I tell him, and he just looks sad.
" I had considered it, but with all the rouge attacks, I don't want to risk anything that could put any of your lives in danger, including Jasmines. That poor child has been through enough already", he tells me.
"I understand," I told him. We end up going back inside and checking on Jasmine, who is still asleep. She looks peaceful asleep. I went upstairs and pulled out the blow-up bed I had used to sleep in the room with Jasmine, blowing it up upstairs so she couldn't hear it. After I have it set up in her room, I lay back on it. I must figure out a way to save her. Not only hers, but my family too.
"Moon Goddess, what do I do," I asked out loud before drifting to sleep.
Sabrina's Dream
I know I'm dreaming somehow, as I feel light as a feather, I'm in a garden. The sun is beaming hot but is somehow cool on my skin too. Weird.
"My child," a voice said, turning around. I saw a beautiful lady with blonde hair and green eyes. She is in a pale green dress that clings to her body. I can feel so much power from her and, somehow, I know who she is.
"Moon goddess," I said to her. She smiles and nods, holding her hand's arms out to me.
"Come child, we have a lot to discuss"!
