"They care ... "
My mind chimed .
I look at Alessia and before I said anything I saw her laughing , that's when I knew she was mocking me and my gullible state .
Is she really enjoying making my life filled with pain ? Miserable ,?
Mom looked at her and then at me rolling her eyes , it doesn't look like it pains .. after all it's just a small injury . She sneered and sipped her tea ,
I couldn't hold it any longer , neither did i say anything to any of them . I stood up and took my plate and tea and walked outside and sat and eaten my breakfast in silence , The burning ache on my throat hurt even more as I swallowed the food and the hot tea.
I am tired ,I am tired with all the shitty things that they have done to me .I don't want to get any possible beatings as for now , I just want some peace .
Swallowing the food hard on my throat, I chewed looking at the children who played in different corners , it was still early but their laughter's and joy didn't seem to hold them back ,
The memories took me from when we were young, when we were also one of the perfect families in the whole village .
I would play with my sister , dance and make all the stories after coming back from the clique ,
The clique is a place where young boys and girls in the age of five to ten are admitted to learn the history of the village , to write and to know the basic things that we need to know growing up in the pack.
We are usually being taught everything starting from our names , human bodies .. our genders and every things that we are supposed to know about werewolves and how everything occurs.
It was fun because we had a lot of teachers that used to teach us , overall it was a fun place to be , We were open minded and always together but not anymore .
After that period ended everyone dispersed and some even left the village for a better development for themselves .
I had three friends when I was there after my sister . There's Lila , David and Michael .
They were all my best friends , David left the village , I heard he is in his journey of success and Michael ...
Well Michael didn't make it when he shifted, which happened last year which pushed his parents to leave the village after his death with no one to blame .
" Sad ... "
And I chose to stay away from everyone , I couldn't afford to lose anyone who's precious to me anymore .
Wiping the lone tear from my eye, a sudden dream erupted in front of my eyes , I need to tell them .. I murmured under my breath .
It felt so real not to be true ,
Walking inside the room which was filled with laughter between mom and Alessia , I decided to interfere and cleared my throat .
Mom .. Alessia ..
I called earning their attention , " um what happened ?" Mom asks narrowing her eyes ,
Umm .. swallowing I looked at them both ,
I dr--
Agghh stop Mei , you really do like attention huh,? You can't even spit out what you want to say , that's makes you look even more terrible than how you look like,
She breathed out making me close my eyes painfully . E
"What , ?" Cat got your tongue , ? Last time I checked you are a queen of answering back .
Ignoring her , and my painful tears I stated ,
"I saw dad !! " I broke down crying bitterly ,
It all went silent ..the whole room is Silent.
"W..what ,?'' Mom was the first to ask stuttering ,
I couldn't even talk anymore as I saw mixed emotions running on my mom's face ,
Standing up on her feet looking at me with her mouth a gap .
He.. he says he loves you so much . I cried making her break down holding the chair .
And I looked at Alessia who tightness her fist and said , " He said he loves you more than anything in this world ."
He loves us all ..
He does ,I whimpered and ran out before anyone called me or wanted to say a thing .
I ran until I reached on the lake , I sat on the grass and bowled my heart out .
I cried of all the pain that I felt , I cried for my family , I cried for my sister and mom and my situation .
After minutes of bowling up , I walked to the lake and washed my face only to stop when I saw my reflection on the water ,
I looked small, fragile , my eyes are red , and the dress that I was wearing pale and outdated.
I washed my face , after I was done I turn back and bumped into a person, before I felt the person's hands held onto my waist securing me .
"I .. am sorry miss ," the man says unfamiliarly .
I looked at him and stepped back, I am sorry too i bowed lowering my gaze,
I am Ramon, he introduces himself with a small bow , And I am a nobody . I whispered back earning a chuckle from him .
You don't look like a nobody young maiden , eying him up that's when I took a good look at him .
He had brown eyes , a sharp jaw , very tall like the first man I have met in my shop and brown curly hair .
" My ..my .. my . "
You are a beauty ..he breathes making me go all red and taken a back with his words .
"Um you are too !!" I stated not knowing what to say ,
Men have become beautiful nowadays , ? He asks with a playfull tone ,
I ... I am sorry , I ..I need to go . I tell him stuttering .
What's your name , ? He asks again loudly before I left the lake ,
I look at him one more time and ran , I shouldn't disclose my identity to anybody especially to strangers , he might be a bad guy and here I will be risking my life .
I forgot that we had to go for the burial , After the burial was done I walked to the market where there was an announcement ,
A merchant from the palace has sent a message ,
" All gather in the respect for the king, I have a message from him ... "
The man says ,
We all gathered and stood listening to his next words , " We have already received the youngsters that are supposed to be in the palace for training today early . "
Everyone cheered knowing anyone who will pass has a high chance of becoming a very important position in the whole Kingdom.
You can be , a secondary advisor of the king, a royal guard , a village security guard and a lot others. I like the transparency because both men and women are being chosen .
That's all for today , disperse !
The merchant says and we all walk away ,
A small smile tug my lips as I thought of Alessia , she will make us all proud. She is talented and pretty and full of skills , I am sure she is going to pass .
Suddenly my smile was wiped on my face when my subconscious mocked me ,
" I wonder what is she going through after you reviled those words and your mother. " My subconscious pressed out of nowhere.
"But is she Okay ?" Are they okay ?
