"Hey, you ain't eating" Esther said as she moved closer to Elena who was running her spoon through the plate in front of her.
"I lost my appetite"
"Baby, you gotta eat, I know it's been a rough day"
"I can't eat, I need to sleep"
"Alright then, Detective says you ain't ready to drop a statement at the station"
"C'mon, you're at home now, Mom, try to be romantic"
"What do you know about romance?, shhh"
"I've told him already, I was taken, I can't remember what happened, I only escaped to the cottage before they came, the cops"
"I'm glad you're fine, okay?"
"Can I go to bed now?"
"Sure"
Esther watched her find her way up the stairs majestically.
"I guess the warmer will have your dinner now"
Elena made to push open her door but paused perceiving something strange.
She couldn't understand what she was perceiving but she was a 100% sure that there was a strange feeling attached to it.
"C'mon, does this animal thing come with perceiving awful things that wouldn't stop"
Elena pushed open the door and walked into the darkness of the room.
The scent seems to grow stronger as she closed the door and switched the lights on.
She almost screamed seeing a dark skinned boy at the side of her open window.
His clothes were torn with bruises all over his skin and she could see the blood dropping from his wounded chest.
"Please you need to help me" He began.
"I don't know who you are but if you don't leave now, my father is a cop" She warned and grabbed the mop at the corner of the room carefully.
"I couldn't trace the Alpha but I traced her scent to you, It's all over you, did you meet her lately?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Silvia Nicholas, we hear the rumors that she's the new Alpha"
"Oh my God!, you know Silvia?, Is she okay?" Elena asked dropping the mop.
"What happened to the alpha?" He asked.
"Alpha, what's that?, the one with the red eyes?" She asked innocently.
"I can see you're new,"
"Of course, I'm new to this shitty world of werewolf whatever "
"I need you to deliver something to the Alpha, I can't find her myself"
"We can find her together, I don't have her contact"
"No, you have to do it alone, I've been marked" He said moving toward her.
He drew out an envelope from behind him and handed it over to her.
"Make sure it gets to the Alpha, the pack are trusting you with their lives"
"Pack?, Lives?, this sh*t is getting real"
"I've to go now"
"Going where?, we can find Silvia and Maggie together"
"No, You find the Alpha, I'm destined to die tonight"
"What the heck are you talking about?"
"I was searching for the Alpha when I bumped into hunters, I narrowly escaped, that's why I'm here, If I don't get caught there'll trace me to your house and you'll be in trouble, worse, they'll search for me aggressively all over the woods and find the pack, I can't let that happen, I need to die so they'll believe I came alone "
" I don't understand a thing "
" Deliver my message to the Alpha, I'm Jay by the way "He told her and paused.
" Your Mom is at the door "
Elena turned to the door and a knock was heard.
She moved to it quickly and spoke.
" Mom? "
" Are you alright?, I heard your voice "
" Yeah, I'm fine, Just let me have a good time rest, okay? "
" Okay dear, sleep well"
She bolt the door and turned but couldn't find him anymore.
"Jay come out, she's gone"
"Jay" She called but there was no response.
She turned to the window and could see traces of blood.
"He's gone"
..
..
..
Jay could be seen running at full speed in the woods as the hunters shot arrows at him.
He stepped on a trap and it caught him, the sharp needle penetrated into his leg.
He tried to move but couldn't as the injury was painful.
Elvis approached him and wrapped a fibre wire around his neck.
"Tell me, how many of you are out there and I won't have to kill you"
"You're such a lier, well, it's only me, wolves are scared of Stardom now"
"And who are you all searching for?"
"You don't deserve to know" Jay answered fearfully.
He drew the wire in opposite direction, thereby decapitating the boy.
His head dropped to the ground and his body too.
"It's the Alpha " He said with a wicked smile and turned to the men behind him.
"We have to find this Alpha running around, as long as she's down here, they'll be drawn to her, wolves will keep running down here till she builds a pack in her possession, I don't need to tell you how disastrous it could be"
...
It was Monday morning as Elena fixed her gaze statue at the entrance of the school.
It's been Friday since the incidence and her life feels so different now, she could hear voices speaking from afar, nothing was too heavy for her to carry now, feeling powerful was an understatement but she was still worried for Silvia.
The explosion at the cottage that Saturday, she felt they were safe but another side of her was worried.
She prayed silently that they were safe and sound.
Silvia was a strong girl and have proven it in several ways already.
"Stardom High " She whispered.
Today was different for her, she felt on top of the world and had no fear in her.
The fear of Sarah and her gang was not in her head anymore.
She felt courage flowing through her veins.
Like a princess, she walked down the hallway and everyone wondered why she was smiling today.
"She's so beautiful this morning"
"Elena Gomez looks bright"
"I never realized she was gorgeous the entire time"
Elena shook her head as she couldn't help but smile when she heard the whispers around with the aid of her new ability.
Yeah, Sarah always warned her not to look beautiful but thing were different now.
She was in her best dress and had her hair taken care of in a tremendous style.
She pushed open the door and all eyes drift to her.
Instead of the usual 'Frog eyes' and repulsive insults, her classmates turned their faces back to their books
"Wow!, seems what happened on Friday had circulated throughout the whole class and they were afraid" Elena thought.
She walked majestically to her seat and sat.
"Beautiful morning it is Elena" She heard a voice at her back but couldn't guess whose voice it was.
"Great morning everyone" She said smiling softly.
" Morning, Elena " She heard voices from different angles in the classroom.
" Wow! Is this a dream " She thought.
She looked back and discovered that Sarah wasn't in the class.
Her eyes drift to the window and she could see her getting down from the car with a man whom she suggested was her father.
Elena concentrated her eyes fully on the sound coming from that direction and was able to zoom the voice closer as she shut her mind totally on every other thing around her.
"Whoever is the bitch who dares beat you up, you got to make sure you have a new gang and teach her a lesson she'll never forget a hurry" She could hear the man say.
The face of the man familiar looked familiar but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
