Chapter 12 - First in the game

I told you we might need to transform.

Standing at the front of group of wolves, I start to freak out. Yesterday I finally found my way to the house and everyone was already asleep if they noticed my entrance they didn't show it. I collapsed in bed only to wake to the matron yelling and the girls scrambling out of the house. Now we are here.

On a narrow track, standing 3 persons per row. By the virtue of winning first advantage I am standing by myself a few feet ahead of the rest, directly behind me are the other 3 to win advantages, then the rest of the contestants. I do not need to look back to know that they have already transformed.

Any moment from now. I look back and I see the others looking at me menacingly. Shit! Anastasia I either transform or I am fucked.

The loud and clear voice of the matron cuts through my frantic thoughts. Contestants welcome to the first game of the tournament. There are loud cheers coming from the stand. I wonder the resources the pack must have to have built a tournament grounds like this. The stands are at least 5 feet higher than were we were and there are rows upon rows. The booth the matron and a few other Elite wolves I recognise from yesterday are in is decorated with yellow and white tapestry. Yellow and white decorations hung around the entire place. As beautiful as everything seems it still has a savage vibe about it that sends chills up my spine. The Alpha and his Beta are no where in sight, they must be watching from some hidden place.

The goal is to cross the finish line before the others. The last 10 contestants to cross the finish line will be eliminated, from the competition.

Anastasia where are you? oh I am fucked

Suddenly I feel lighter on my feet and I am running faster than I have ever run in my life. the excitement almost has me screaming in joy.

I push to my limit, but two wolves overtake me and another and another, somehow I find myself at the middle. I can feel the desperation rise and a wolf running at my side soundly howls in pain as she collapses to the ground, another wolf had injured her from behind. This gives rise to the wolves at the rear attacking those at the front.

Shit! I don't wait around to be attacked as I leap on instinct and I found my self a little distance away from the fracas.

I know, because my breathing has become ragged and I am running on sheer willpower and a desire of self preservation.

Sounds of injured wolves fill the air. And I push myself, I see the finish line in sight, with sweat pouring down my face, my vision is nearly blurred, when suddenly I am hit from nowhere

My pack, my pack. Various past experiences flash through my mind, I remember being unhappy a lot but trying to keep my sanity through positivity. That pack. I can't go back. Even I have crawl and eat dirt I will cross that finish line.

I hear a wolf whimper and I see it limping towards the finish line. It is still some distance away. Getting strength I didn't know I possessed. I pulled myself up and I trudged ahead. Pain radiating all over my body, my vision blurring in and out but I kept moving.

I ignored the wolf coming behind me and kept repeating to myself. If I can put one foot in front of the other, I am winning. If I can put one foot in front of the other, I am winning.

I turn to see I had already crossed the finish line by several feet. Thank you God. I barely get this prayer out before it all goes black
