Running away
Harlows POV
Washing dishes. My favorite thing ever. Note the saracasm. "HURRY UP HARLOW YOU HAVE TO HELP ME PICK A DRESS!" my devil of a sister yelled. Kira, my 'sister', evil, uses me to her fullest. I do all her chores, and she gets to sit around doing nothing. It's funny, she is actually asking for my opion. Since when? She says she's gonna give me the dress I want, she got 5 at the mall, but she's done this before. She is gonna ask me which dress I want, and then say that was the one she wanted, point out the worst looking on and say that it's perfect for me. And I have no choice in the matter because she practically owns me. Oh who am I kidding, she is mated to the Alphas son! Everyone has to obey her! She is practically the Luna! As soon as the Alphas son turns 18 he will be given the role of Alpha, and my sister will be the Luna. Just great. I finish the last dish and place it in the washer. And I head to Kira's room.
I knock on the door. "Come in," Kira said. I open the door, she is in the closet, then she pulls the dresses out. They all actually look great, but I love the lavender one, and Kira loves to use her mind games on me so why dont I give it a try. "Ew! That Lavender one is so ugly! I love the red and white one," I say. The red and white one isn't too apealing actually. It is very ruffly, not a good dress to wear to the Alphas birthday party. She smiled. "Yeah, well I wanted the red and white one, oops. The lavender one would look so good on you though, your wearing it," she says. I inwardly jump up and down. She is literally so gullable. "Whatever Kira, just give me the dress," I say. She grabs me by the collar of my shirt. "You dont speak to me that way, b***h, now ask politley, or so help me I will backhand you," she growled. My wolf let out a growl. Nikita! She always gets me in these situations! Kiras mouth opened, " How dare you! You growled at me!" she yelled, before she raised her hand and hit me. I dropped to the floor. How does she hit so hard? The left side of my face began stinging. "Whatever you weak brat, take your dress, go get ready, then come do my hair and makeup, and you dont get to use any of mine tonight, and you aren't allowed to do anythig to your hair, would't want my ugly sister to get any attention," she said throwing the dress at me.
I pick up the dress and walk out the room. It's not like I ever get to do my makeup or hair, the only reason I get a dress is so that I don't stand out wearing jeans and a t-shirt. Goddess forbid that the attention is anywhere but on Kira. I go to my room in the attic. Pretty dusty, but there is quite alot of space. I look to the corner, where my first and only thing I bought is. All broken, and dirty. A vanity.

Flashback
My smile is so pretty in this lighting. I haven't smiled in a while. I'll try it more. Mirrors are such cool things. Reflective somehow. I raise up my hand, and my vanitys mirror me, raises it's hand to. So cool. I start posing infront of the mirror. I actually look pretty, if you dont pay attention to my bruises and scars. I was just staring at myself and smiling. It feels so good t-. My thoughts were cut off, "Hey! Why arent th- . What are you doing?" Kira asked. I shrugged, "Looking at myself, I guess." I said. She laughed. "Why you're ugly anways!" she said, making her way to me, throwing me off the chair infron the vanity. I let out an ow. She looks at me than at the mirror, and then picked up the chair, and hit the vanity with it. "NO! PLEASE!" I yell. She scoofs, breaking the vaity with the chair. I start to sob. She made her way to me, and grabbed my chin roughly, holding my face to look at hers and then she said," You are to NEVER look at a mirror EVER again, unless you have MY PERMISION. Not like you would want to look at yourself, you ugly rat. Nobody would want to look at you, I feel bad for your mate, I hope hes fine with an UGLY MEDIOCER PEICE OF TRASH as a mate." She yelled into my face. I couldn't stop crying. Why is she so mean to me? She had already left the attic, I cant do this anymore. I pick up a peice of glass. Ad go to the bathroom. I turn on the tub, and fill it. I undress, get in and take the glass to my arms veins. Its painful, but I just dont want to be alive anymore.
End of flash back
******************
I shiver, at the memory. I look at my arms, that still have scars from my suicicide attempt. Whatever lets just go get ready.
I cant even shower , she wot let me, so I just take off my clothes, and put on the dress. I wish I could see what this looks like, but I'm still not allowed to even glance in the mirror without permission. At least I know the dress is pretty.
***********
Finally I'm finished getting Kira ready, now we can finally go to the party, well I have to go a couple minutes before Kira, she doesnt want to be seen with me, she said to stay away from her tonight so she doesnt get emberassed by me. Whatever, I make my way downstsirs, going to the corner of the food room, and sitting. Guess I'll be talking with my wolf tonight. I've only shifted once, but me and her keep close, we are the oly ones we have. We have eachother. I mean, I've ever seen her, because no mirrors are allowed near me, but she would probably be grey like all the other wolves.
'Hey!' Nikita said.
'What, you probably are!' I say back.
'First off, I know I'm not grey, I mean I haent looked in the mirror, but I know that we are beautiful, since we are in human form.' she said.
'Ok, we aren't grey.' I give in.
'Happy you beli-' she started but was cut off.
"To many guys are looking at you! Stop doing whatever your doing!" Kira said.
"I'm just sitting here I didn-" I started but was cut off.
"Whatever, your ugly anyway. And so skinny! Ew, your so gross why would ANYONE WANT YOU! YOUR DISGUSTING Y- YOU RAT! NO YOUR NOT EVEN A RAT YOU ARE A NOODLE. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE UGLY !" She yelled. I started to sob half way through her second sentence. I have to leave, I- I cant stay here. I wait for her to walk away, then get up, making my way to the attic. I grab my bracelet, then leave the room. I dont care where I go, but I cant stay here. I grab some food, and add it to my backpack, I take as much that can fit. I look around, to see my sister dancing with the alphas son, well now he actually is the alpha, so shes dancig with the alpha. Perfect time for me to leave. I open the front door, and run out.
For the first fifteen miutes I run, I feel like I've traveled a good 5 miles already, I am a fast runner, I used to train all day, but then, Kira made me drop out. Glad to know I can still depend on my legs. I should take a quick stop. I can finally eat! I unzip my backpack and take out 2 sandwhiches. Finally! I eath them in 5 seconds. I take my shoes off, ad throw them up in a tree. Good, keep my scent there. I look back in the direction I was going, and start running again.
An hour passes, 20 miles.
Another hour, another 20 miles.
I see a dumpster. Wait, a dumpster! This means im in the city! Im in the city! Thank godde-
I'm tackled. Ow! I open my eyes, to see the new alpha above me. His eyes a dark purple. Please moon goddess save me. He kicks me in the side. Then gets back on top of me, and punches me over and over again. My sight goes out. Everythings black. I cant feel the puches anymore, I cant even feel the hand wrapped around my neck aymore. I cant even move my legs or arms. All I can do iis her, until my hearing goes out. Did he like, damadge my ear. I don't like this feeling! I cant do anything. Just kill me! Please! At least I'll be away from that hell! Please, kill me! Maybe I am dead. Is this what death feels like? No, I have to be alive still. I can now feel the hand around my neck, which leaves my neck, and now he isn't even touching me anymore.
Then I'm picked up, i think. Because I can feel a hand under my knees, and a hand on my back. WAIT! NO! Hs taking me back! Please no I ca-
I feel a prick in my left arm. What was tha- everything stops. And it feels like Iḿ going to bed. Goodnight cruel world.
