Amelia
I have been told all my life what to do, clean this, cook that, wash this, get out, lie down and so forth. And I am sick of it. Today, I am scrubbing the toilets, of all the chores I do, this is the one I hate the most. And oh is it a thankless job. If maybe they said Thank you, I won't feel so miserable.
I wipe the floor one last time, then I step back to admire my handiwork. One thing is certain, nobody can scrub floors as I do. Whistling I head down to the broom closet where I plan on keeping my tools for work.
In this pack what has kept me going is my continuous self-motivation. People look like I am some crazy person who is happy to scrub toilets. They think it's easy to stay this happy always. Truth is. It's hard it's very hard, I try to stay happy, I appreciate myself where my pack members treat me like shit. But almost every night I go to bed in tears. Somehow, one of them gets to me before bedtime. Well, 24 hours is a long time to keep being positive when everyone around you is focused on bringing you down.
And don't tell me of fighting back, I tried for many years but I was too weak, I got beat down even worse and punished twice as worse. Aunt Mary, our orphanage mommy, was the closest thing to mom I had and the only person who cared about me till she passed away a few years ago.
Every time she nursed me, she always said it was a shame I was weak on the outside because I had a warrior's soul. She told me, that my lack of physical strength was purposeful, that I was being tested by the unseen ally to see if I was capable of fulfilling my destiny. To beat the others, I had to develop my inner strength.
Then, I didn't listen to her until I was nearly beaten to death. Good news though, this time I wasn't the one who was punished.
After washing my hands, I walk down the hall to go have my lunch in the pack cafeteria. When I see a small crowd forming around our notice board. I do not want to struggle with anyone so I go take my dinner.
The cafeteria is very large with long tables and benches tossed here and there. I go get my food. We are having steamed dumplings and rice today. Yum
Now cooking is one chore I do not mind doing because I can eat as much as I can and sneak away some for later. What.
Oh there she is
Oh god. I try to hide but she has already seen me.
Amelia
She waves at me enthusiastically as she hurried to me, seating next to me she hugs me.
I have missed you, where have you been?
Nowhere, Just doing my chores as usual.
You may be wondering why I am acting weird to the only person who talks to me nicely at the pack.
Amelia, I need you to do my laundry, you know you are the only one who knows how to do laundry properly.
I got to get out here fast before her friends come and I am saddled with extra work.
Ahhh
What is it?
My tummy hurts. I think I am going to fart
Don't be ridiculous.. on a second thought I think I am going to meet you later.
She leaves and I sigh in relief.
Quickly, I leave the cafeteria
The crowd at the board seems to have thinned. I check it to see the announcement
Alpha Kincaid of the Waterfall pack wishes to have a tournament for the female wolves. Any interested parties should sign up with Beta Maximus. The prize: his hand in marriage
What!
A seed of hope bursts in me and I feel I finally have a chance to change my life.
On a normal day, I won't spare this a second thought. But today is different, there has been a happy event for me that I kept on a low these past few days.
My wolf. I found her!
