The Challenge - 6
575 Words
In the days following what is now being called "the incident" by my father, noones bothered me. Aside from the occasional knock from someone bringing me food I have been alone, at least it's enabled me to knock out a lot of my assignments.
When the Elders stepped across our boundries there was a shift in the air, it almost felt like electricity pulsating through the atmosphere.
Since father's office is sound proof I couldn't hear what was being said. A loud knock brought me out of my daydreaming and back into reality.
'Your father needs you downstairs, hurry up' said Gamma Byron, seriously, Uncle Gerald isn't my blood but this man is, guess that new infidelity rule is pissing some off. When I entered my dad's office, my parents were there, both my Uncles, pack member Henry and three Elders.
The oldest looking man, tall and thin, you could tell he was once a powerful Alpha, but now seems just exhausted, asked me to take a seat. I sat as instructed and took a deep breath.
"Jenn, we are here today because a she wolf was killed in this office and Henry has filed a complaint", he said, "We would like you to tell us what you witnessed the day Diane lost her life,". "What exactly would you like to know sir?", I asked. "Let's start with when you entered the room", he instructed. I looked at him and smirked, if he thought I would throw my father under the bus, he was mistaken. I explained to the Elders about my mother's illnesses and what I had over heard the Omega's saying, I explained I was on a mission to prove them wrong and when I approached the door heard Diane giggling. "I don't know what happened, I remember standing outside the door, then being in the room, the b***h was on her knees in front of my father", I explained, "And then insulted the Luna and my family, I warned her not to say another word, she chose not to listen, so I ripped her throat open". I say with Henry shooting daggers at me and heard an audible gasp from the tiniest Elder. "Clearly, Jenn, you think we are ignorant, a thirteen year old she wolf couldn't possibly kill a full grown wolf," said the one female Elder. "With all do respect ma'am, I've trained since I could stand on two feet, killing that slut was easier than breathing", I said.
There was a growl from behind the Elders, and a loud voice yelled out "I want her dead!", Henry was trying to get to me. "Who's going to do that? I killed your sorry ass sister, she shouldn't have disrespected my mother, But kill me? Yeah who's going to do that?" I said taunting him. "If they won't I will" he said, and then I heard "I, Henry McNamara, challenge you, Jenn Legion, daughter of Apha John" he said with so much anger, I almost felt a little sad for him. There were yells of protests from my father and uncles, but my voice was louder, "I accept your challenge, I'll meet you in the training arena in thirty minutes, Oh and Henry, I don't accept submissions, It's to the death", I say. "If you wish to die today little girl, thats not my problem" he replied. "I have absolutely no intention of dying Henry, now tsk tsk, twenty nine minutes".
