Catherine's POV
"But please father" I pleaded with him but he didn't listen. I continue to beg him.
"Let me just explore what's beyond this place, just this once. please" I'm not crying but I can feel the tears gathering at the bridge of my eyes.
lately I've felt stuck and I can't take it anymore. I've been begging my father all morning that I want to leave my home and I mean farther than I usually do. I want to meet other people and not just my teachers. I want to live a normal teenage life before it's too late, that's if it's not already too late. I turn to face Miss Anna when my father continues to ignore me, casually reading today's papers on the couch like I wasn't standing beside him.
Miss Anna shrugs her shoulders and gives me a pathetic look. she's one of my favorites teachers. she teaches me history and I'm very grateful for her. She's just in her mid twenties so I find it very comfortable chatting with her even about my personal feelings. Over the years she's been my home tutor. I've become close to her enough to take her as the elder sister I never had. I know how much she sympathizes with me right now because I've always told her how much I want to leave my house anytime she comes to teach me.
"I've told you how dangerous it is out there before. I'm not letting you even near that woods"
"I won't go to the woods father, I'll walk on the road. I'll be safe"
"No!" He yells as he stands up and throws the newspaper to the floor.
"why are you behaving like a Child! don't be stupid!" My father yells at me and I stand in shock because I've never heard such words from him before. He's never raised his voice at me before. Miss Anna brushes her hand on my left shoulder to calm me down because I'm fuming with anger. I shrug my arm off and storm away. I stop in my tracks and turn around to face my father who is still looking at me, but now with a sorry stare.
"I hate you" I yell at him, and storm out of the house. I hear Anna's voice calling out my name from behind but I don't care to turn back. I walk as far way as I can from the house as I can but not nearing the woods. I'm standing behind the house as I sit on the ground and wrap my hands around my knees. Minutes later I hear my father calling out my name, including Anna. They are looking for me, but I don't reveal myself to them. They don't know I'm here because I never really go behind the house I just stay upfront. After a while I don't hear thier voices anymore. I stay there till it becomes dark and I eventually walk to the front of the house. I see Anna standing facing the woods as I approach her from the side. She turns to face me in shock and I just stand there taking in her facial expression. she looks afraid and worried at thesame time.
"Catherine?" Anna looks at me with genuine surprise and I stare at her dumbfounded.
"where is dad?" I eventually ask because I need to apologize for my misconduct earlier. I watch as she slowly stretches out her arm infront of her, her fingers pointing to the tall bushes. She looks at me with horror in her eyes before she hesitantly opens her say what I feared the most.
"in the woods" She says and immediately she does, I feel the whole world comes to a stop. My heart is beating ten times faster and I slowly drag my head in horror to look at the woods while she's still staring at me. My father is in the woods. it's dark. He's alone with the warewolves- is all I can think of. The next thing I hear is a scream, my father's scream.
*******
HOURS LATER
Right now I don't care if I die, I don't care if one of the warewolves that attacked my father comes and eats me alive. In fact I want to die, because now I've lost everything and everyone I've ever loved. They took my mother, and now my father too. He's probably still alive somewhere around, infact I know he is. I just need to find him, I need to save him. My legs are hurting as I walk to nowhere in particular. It's so dark I can barely see a thing, but I manage to. I feel weak in every part of my body because I've been walking in these woods for a long while now, maybe hours even. My eyes have gone weak because I've been crying ever since. I need to rest, but I can't, not until I find him. Anne couldn't stop me when I ran into the woods to look for my father. I still haven't apologized to him yet. He can't leave me when the last words I said to him was 'i hate you', he just can't. I need to find him. Something speeds past me at that moment, and I'm sure it's one of them. I brace my self for whatever is out there.
"I know you're out there!" I yell at the hidden creature.
"come get me! Take me!" Anger rushes through me as I yell. Right now I'm not even thinking straight, I'm fuming in anger and I don't care if one of those b*****ds eat me alive right now. I hear footsteps approach me from behind and I spin around with rage. I remember those blue eyes instantly as they stare back at me rather relaxed. He's smirking at me. What the f**k. Here I am boiling in fury and he has his hands in his jean pockets looking very unbothered, Smirking at me! Next thing I know, he's standing in front of me. His thumb traces my lips and I just fantasize how many ways I could kill him right now.
"Are you sure that's a good idea sweetheart? You know if I take you I won't free you.......by the way, what did I tell you last time?" he whispers in my ear and as I feel the breath of his warmth against my skin. The level of my anger in me increase and I turn to slap him. His face falls to the left and I hear him chuckle silently. He straightens his head and his smirk is even more now as he stares at me. I am so going to kill this b*****d. when I lift up my hands to slap him again, he speeds further away from me and in the blink of an eye he is standing about 5 feet away from me. This motherf****r wants to play games. He is smirking. He is f*****g smirking!
"You b*****d!" I yell at him with tears rushing down my cheeks. I don't want to cry right now, I don't want to seem weak. I hate getting angry because of moments like this when I can't control my tears. Even as I yell at him he doesn't flinch. His eyes carries no emotion as I glare at him. At least he isn't smirking anymore
"you killed him!" I yell and at that moment I know that yelling is not enough. I'm not afraid of him. I want to kill him, tear him apart just like he did with those other warewolves the other day. I want to hear his loud cries until I'm close to satisfied. I want to do all these except, I am too weak. I am just a human after all and he is an Alpha.
"why? just why? we did nothing to you, why won't you just leave us alone?!" I cry, my vision almost completely blurred from my tears. I can still see his neutral expression through my river of tears and it just makes me want to kill him the more. I can't believe I ever got attracted to his looks. Now all I see is a tall wicked warewole whom I must kill to avenge my father's death. I wipe my eyes with my hand and take a step further to him. He doesn't move an inch, he just continues to watch me silently with those fierce blue eyes of his. I take another step closer but I instantly feel dizzy and my vision fades. I want to take another step and as I do, I fall to the ground, my back crashing against the hard surface. From my faint vison, I watch him slowly approach me. He looks down at me with thesame expressionless look on his face, and I hear him say
"Except you did darling, you did do something to me....years ago"
I struggle to keep my eyes open until I can't no more. I blink one last time, before he's face is completely out of my vision and my eyes closes.
