Waterfall

Olivia POV: The game had started and Astrid was the top of the pyramid, cheering for our football players. Werewolf football was an entirely different ball game and much more interesting to watch because we healed much faster and had ten times the amount of strength than a normal human, broken bones and fractured ribs were normal and so was the sound of them breaking. It was absolute madness and I think that's why most of the pack loved it. With our super healing, it wasn't serious to get hurt and no one ever died. We all jumped up as our team scored!! The field was loud with cheering, some of the party committee was selling hot dogs and I couldn't resist buying one, everything in my life was controlled and when I had these rare moments of free will, I grabbed on to it with both hands. I was busy eating my hot dog when I heard Kathy and her friends sit down behind me, "I heard she's gave it up to so many guys and that's why the Alpha and Luna keep her locked away!" One of Kathy's friends laughed, "yeah! I mean did you see her, she was all over Micheal. So shameless!" I had a feeling they knew I was sitting there and they were all doing this on purpose, "what a w***e!" Exclaimed Kathy angrily, I felt it before anything. The ice was a shocking feeling and I stood up slowly, my hands out as I tried to process what had just happened. I was covered in blue ice, I turned to Kathy and her friends as they burst out laughing, "do you need a tissue?" Asked Kathy as she held out a hot dog tissue smeared with mustard, I stared at her with all my bottled up hatred, "maybe my parents keep me locked up because they would rather that I didn't turn out like a slut like you Kathy!" I watched as her and her friend's faces contorted into shock, the people around us had gone silent at the exchange. I turned and started to walk away. I would text Astrid and let her know what happened but for now I just needed some alone time. Micheal just bumped into me, "woah!" He exclaimed as he took in my appearance, I can't imagine I looked good covered in blue slush, "what happened?" He asked, "your girlfriend!" I glared at him with the same death stare I gave her, "let me help you get clean," he offered. I put my hand up to stop him, "no, I need some alone time." I walked past him, leaving him standing there. My car was still parked in the school parking lot and my wolf was craving a run. I started weighing the options, I could probably wash up in the waterfall. I got into my car and started the engine as I reversed out and drove out on the lonely road. I pulled up on the edge of the forest and removed my shoes as I got out and shifted. My white wolf was beautiful, it was the only thing about me that I was genuinely proud of. My wolf hated being locked up, just as much as I did. We started in a little trot, sniffing the air for anyone nearby but for now it was all clean and then we broke out into a run. Our white fur a blur to anyone watching, the sky was getting darker and the forest had it's own eerie glow to it, making it look so magical. For once, I didn't care that my mother would have me grounded and lectured or even punished. I was relishing in my freedom at just being able to run with my wolf. I jumped onto a nearby rock and stood on it like Simba on pride rock and looked down at the beautiful water below. The sound of the waterfall seemed to drown out all the noise and for once, I just felt peace. I shifted back into my human form and dived into the water. I dived under, washing off the stickiness from that stupid slush puppy. Kathy was a b***h and so were her brainless minions but they were the least of my current problems. I'm turning eighteen in three days and then I will be married off to some Alpha that I barely know. I swam further into the water, letting the cold wrap around me as I floated there and watched the sky darken, the first bit of stars were appearing and it looked pretty against the orange, black sky. I closed my eyes momentarily and for a moment, I wished everything away. The titles, the drama, everything and for a moment, I was normal. Maybe not even a wolf, just normal. I liked that. Maybe, I did need to run away with Astrid, I could leave this family and this pack and never look back. It wasn't a bad idea, I didn't owe them anything or have any responsibility to this pack, so why should I stay? I opened my eyes and looked up at the sky again, I could be anyone I wanted if I left. I turned into the water and swam under before coming up. Maybe that is what I will do.
