'Excited laughter' echoed all around the field as my father chased my mother teasingly and my brother and I ran around them. "MAMA, we're gonna be happy like this forever and ever right" I asked smiling brightly "Yes, my little Luna" She replied smiling equally as happy but that scene changed way too soon.
"MAMA!!!!!!!!! LET HER GO, LIAR, CHEATER" I screamt these words to my father as he painted the field red with mama's blood.
The field of hydrangeas—once a sea of delicate blues and purples—was now drenched in crimson.
Papa planted them from scratch because they were mama's favorite flowers. Now only the scent of burning flowers mixed with the stench of blood remained, suffocating me. My mother's screams had stopped. Only the crackling flames remained.
Brother was beside me through it all but I heard no sound from him, I knew he was crying but not a single sound.
Then he whispered "At 3 we run, remember just the same way mama always told us"
Mama had taught us the entire route of the forest but I never thought we'd use that knowledge to run from papa.
"3" No other words were spoken, not even an eye contact but we both knew the direction to take.
Our seven-year-old legs could only carry us so far, and eight grown werewolves were gaining on us. But we led them toward the traps Mama had set for prey, buying us precious seconds.
We ran and ran hoping for salvation, then we suddenly heard distant growls and whimpering.
I missed a step and fell into the autumn leaves down a pit "ZEPH!!! HELP!!! Please" I couldn't help myself and started crying.
"LUNA!!! LUNA!!!" "Zephy beneath you" I cried out but it didn't seem like he heard me, I could see and hear him but he couldn't see or hear me.
Suddenly it felt like something cold slithered around my leg, a snake "Hello, scaredy little fox"
I screamt as my eyes shot open.
I was greeted with the loud thud as my door flung open.
"Fucking bitch, if you know you want to keep waking the whole fucking house with your fucking pathetic screams each time, you better get the fuck out of here, last strike and you're fucking out, you hear me little shit" Yelled the alpha who barged in.
'Wow 6 curse words in one sentence, new record retard' My thoughts rang "Yes Alpha Draken" I said
"Stay out with the guards for two nights, maybe your head will clear up" He hissed as he walked out of my room.
'Can I really even call this a room, a basement with no window and was used to interrogate rogues' I looked around 'at least it's something'.
"Liz!!" I heard Mary call from the kitchen "I'm on my way!"
'Hi guys I'm Liz, well not really, My real name is Lunara but every household I serve say my name is insulting to their Luna and will just end up calling me (hey or slave girl) so i changed my name and yes my name is Lunara, my parents sorry mean my mom decided Luna isn't unique enough let's add a spark and boom (Lunara).
My mom's dead but my dad I kinda don't know but I hope he's in the 12th level of hell, he's dead to me anyways. That dream you saw in the beginning is actually a fragment of my memory.
Not even sure what's real anymore cause I have like 3 versions of that but in all 3, dad's a bitch'
'And yes I'm currently talking to myself cause it's therapeutic and cheaper than real therapy plus I'm convinced i have an audience up there, so if you're new welcome to my rollercoaster, see y'all next time'
"LIZ!!!" "ON MY WAY MARY!" I ran towards the kitchen like my life depended on it cause it did.
"The new year celebration is in a week and you wanna be lazing around" Mary half yelled at me
"No ma'am, I'm sorry" I replied
"The guards room. NOW!" She said
"On it"
/Guards room/
"Liz, heard you made a scene this morning again" Lisa poked at me "I wouldn't say a scene, nightmares are so scary you know" I replied "I don't, only humans, children and royalty have dreams or nightmares y'know" "Well, I'm human y'know"
"Anyways your birthday is the same as the new year celebration right, since our pack is hosting it this year, wanna have a bit of fun, who knows, someone from another pack might take fancy of you" She winked at me
I just replied with a side eye "Wwhhat, you know some humans are blessed to become wolves mates, maybe you'll have a chance" she said
"Lisa shut it, let's hurry".
