1758 Words
 Sapphire's POV; I look in the mirror to check if my hair and makeup were perfect, as it's school's Christmas disco tonight, mum had curled my beautiful red hair that was almost the length of my back, I only used a tiny bit of makeup which made my green eyeshine. "thanks for doing my hair mum." I said as I kissed her cheek.  As we were waiting for my dad as he took me to the disco, while we wait for him to turn up with the car, " Sapphire, sweety can I get some pictures of you before you go?" my mum asks me as we wait for dad. Mum wanted to take some pictures of me in the garden, "something is missing," mum said. Then she picked a rose from her garden and put it in my hair. "there that's what was missing." mum said.  Just after mum had done that dad pulled up in my favourite car a Mazda mx5 in ruby red he got out. He opened the door for her. Dad had dropped her off at school as she got out of the car. All the boys were looking at me. Most boys in that group had asked if I would go with them. I had turned all of them down; I wasn't ready for a boyfriend, nor did I like any of the school boys.  I danced most of the night by myself. Some of the boys did come over and asked me for a dance. Still, I was happier to dance alone as the night was coming to an end. I saw some of the girls that were ok. I never really made any friends at school. I always felt like something was missing in my life but couldn't put my finger on what it was. "Merry Christmas and a happy new year hope you all have a great holiday see you all next year," I said to all of them. As I thought I wouldn't see any of them until next year, but what I didn't know was that would be the last time I would see any of them. My life was going to change as I didn't know that I will have my first change into my werewolf form when I turn sixteen. Christmas was great as always my parents and I went to see family. Well, what I thought that they were my family; I mainly got money and a couple of gifts. My family had given me my birthday cards and presents. It soon came round to my birthday. It was the night before my birthday. What I didn't know was that this would be my last night in my bed. "Happy birthday to you happy birthday to you happy birthday, dear Sapphire happy birthday to you." sang both my parents as they came into my room. They gave me all my cards and presents. They sat on the end of my bed while I opened them. I ended up with two hundred dollars in cash clothes books shoes and curling iron.  By the time I got out of bed, I was feeling ill with a bit of high temperature. "mum, I am not feeling good, I ache all over." I told mum. "come here and let me have a feel." mum said. "wow Sapphire, you are feeling hot, go back to bed." mum told me. It was starting to get dark when me dad came up to see how I was doing "hi, sweety how you feeling?"dad asked me "I still hurting, and I feel like I am on fire," I said to dad "well I have come to let you know that mum, and I are going to uncle Call's," dad told me "if you don't feel any better soon or feel like you are getting worse just ring us and we will be straight home," dad said as he kissed me on the head.  I was ok with that and "I will call you dad if I need you, but if I don't ring then it's ok to stay longer I may just sleep all night so that I will see you and mum tomorrow." I said to dad as he was walking out of my door. As I knew that they might not get back tonight but luckily, they will only be three streets away and a phone call if I needed them. After they left, I got up to get a drink of cold water. Then went and sat outside for some fresh air. I was starting to feel pain all over my body. I was about to call my parents, but I changed into her wolf form, I was beginning to get scared when I heard a voice saying that her name was serenity. Serenity told me what is happening to me and that I am a werewolf I knew nothing about werewolves. "Serenity, why hasn't my parents, had not told her about this," I ask her. "Sapphire calm down so you can change back into your human form and we will still be able to talk," Serenity says. I went inside and asked serenity about all of this. Serenity then turned around. And asked me why I was living with mundanes. I told her that I lived with my parent's. Serenity said they couldn't be as they are not werewolf's. All I could think of and wanted to know why they lied to me. I went looking for a box I knew that my mum had old things of mine in from when I was younger, I had found it and sat and opened it,  that's when I saw the newspaper about a girl that had gone missing in Canada. I sat and read it three times and looked at the little girl's picture; I recognised the face. I knew I had seen photos of her before. I got up and went searching for images of the young girl around the house. That's when I saw it. It was a picture of me. How could they do this to me? Why would they do this to me? I can't stay here with these people, people who would do such a thing. I had to look for my family. I went to my room, got my money box to count out how much I had. I was close to having two thousand Dallas, I got one of her big bags and packed all the clothes that I could fit in I holdall. I knew I would have to leave a note for the ones that took I, my note read. To Mr and Mrs Harris, you are not my parents. I found out that you took me from my real family when I was three, I have gathered all the evidence that proves it was you who kidnapped me. Please do not come looking for me as I will go to the police with everything. Goodbye. Sapphire. I ordered an uber to take me to the bus station. I was trying to find where to go fast from Harlingen there was a bus going to Three Rivers through Kingsville then Mathis and George west. When I finally got to Three Rivers, she got off the bus thanked the driver, and went to find somewhere to stop for the night. Still, I never felt so free. I found a hotel that was cheap just for that night. I went to get some supplies. Serenity had said that she could run some of the ways there. As wouldn't cost anything so that sapphire can sleep in a bed at night. Serenity said that when she runs, she will have to go careful as there are other packs. We would have to ask permission to go across their lands. The morning after I packed all my things I checked out of the hotel walked out of the town then found some woods so I can shift into serenity. Serenity picked up the bag and ran. They did this for a month staying away from towns and cities. I was sleeping in trees or on the ground. I was hurting after sleeping like this, so when I got near the next town. I would find somewhere to stop for a couple of days to rest after about three days I was running low on money, she went to see a job for a week or so. The next town serenity ran to was Issaquah, when serenity had run just to the outside of the town and shifted back into my human form. I went and found a nice little cheap hotel I went to my room and saw the bath I went for a soak in the bath it felt nice most of my aches and pains was going away I decided to go to bed as it was getting late, I laid on the bed it was soft compared to the trees and ground, the next day I woke up at nine o'clock got dressed and went to find a dinner for breakfast I found one just around the corner from the hotel as they were looking for help I sat down at a table when the server came "what can I get you love?" the server asked. I read her name tag, and she is called Kelly. "I would love some pancakes, and some orange juice please," I asked "who do I need to speak to about the help wanted sign," I asked her. "That would be the manager Courteney I will ask her to come over to see you when the morning rush is over with," Kelly said to me. "Courteney said that she would be over soon," Kelly said to me wail bringing my drink over to me.  After Kelly had brought my pancake's and the morning rush was over with, Courteney came over and sat with me "the job is for a server as Kelly is on holiday for 2 weeks, so you all be covering her, and we have a server called Tilly that only works half days would you be able to start tomorrow?" Courteney asked me. "yes, I can start tomorrow," I told Courteney, "you will get 3 meal's every day you work."Courteney told me "Kelly will help you learn how to do the shorthand writing to help with the orders," Courteney told me after I had spoken to Courteney "See you in the morning," I said to Courteney and Kelly as I left the cafe.
