The Lycan Alpha Queen Warrior

My Period

“Miss. Crystal it’s time to get up your going to be late.” Ms. Abigail says rubbing my face.

“Just five more minutes please.”

“Ooh sweetie, you need to get up Derek is here to take you to school.”

I roll around in bed grunting and complaining. I really don’t want to get up. Not having help at school has taken a toll on me and to top it off Iv been fight with Artemis more. She’s been non stop nagging about being hungry and wanting human blood I’m getting fed up about it. This week being on my own has been really hard. I went back to isolating myself and shutting everyone one out completely. My grades are taking a hit no matter how hard I try in my own.

“Hi mija. How did you sleep?”

“I slept fine.”

“Mamas don’t forget I have my science project presentation today at school. Your going to be there right?”

“Yea babe I’ll be there. It’s at 5 right?”

“Yea.”

“Ok I’ll see you at 5 ok. Make sure you have everything with you and don’t forget anything. I can’t come home to get.”

“Ok mamas thank you. Have a good day at school. Love you”

“Love you too babe.”

I say my good byes and leave for school. Derek has been picking me up and taking me to school then dropping me off at home right after.

“You ok?”

“Yea why”

“Your quieter today. What’s up?”

“Nothing. I just have a headache.”

“A lot on your mind?”

“Yupp” I say popping my p

Derek drops me off at school letting me know he will pick me up at our spot and I’m on my way. I’m not feeling good everything is starting to hurt and I feel like I’m starting to over heat. I make my way to first period and of course we start off by having another pop quiz. I hate these things. They are pointless right now for me because I can’t see or study for them properly. I hate failing my test.

By third period my skin was burning and I was completely over heating. I ditch the rest of the school day and go take a dip in our school swimming pool and finish my off by hanging out in the music room playing the piano. Music has been a big help for me, in my journey with my eye sight. It’s been my escape go.

I’m so lost in playing that the next thing I notice is the last bell ringing which means school is over. Walking over to Derek’s car I can feel myself over heating again and I have this ugly feeling in the pit of my stomach. It’s not a full blown out aching pain but it’s more of a warning of something bad is going to happen pain.

We get to my brother’s science presentation. I feel so bad. I can’t see a thing and Sam worked so hard on this project. I want to see what he did. Walking in through the cafeteria doors I hear a lot of people talking and moving around; I really hope I don’t knock anything over trying to find my brother.

“Mamas!”

Sam runs up to me giving me a big hug. He starts to guide me to his stand and he starts to explain it all to me. I nod and shake my head yes as if I can actually see his hard work. Listening to my brother explain his project to the judges was amazing. He knows exactly what he’s talking about and worked so hard on it. After the judges talk to every student they go off with the award ceremony. Oh god here we go!

“Ladies and gentlemen let’s give our students a round of applause. They all worked so very hard on their projects. The top three students will be going to state to represent our school at the science fair.”

“In third place Miss. Jenifer Khea with the better lightbulb project, in second place we have Mr. Patrick Hudson with the Robot hand, and finally we have our first place Mr. Samuel Gonzalez with Build Your Own Burglar Alarm.”

Oh my god he won. My little brother won. I can’t help but cry. He did this all on his own and I would do anything to see the look on his face. Everyone is going crazy screaming his name including me.

“You did it babe. I’m so proud of you.” I say giving him a big hug

“Thanks mamas”

“Mom and dad would be so proud of you. Come on let’s go take some pictures and I need to make sure I get all the information for state for you.”

“Ok mamas.”

After getting all the information I need and taking a couple of pictures of Sam we go have some dinner at Sam’s favorite pizza restaurant.

“Hi there my name is Andrew and I’ll be your server for today. Can I start you all with some drinks?”

“Yea can we have a couple of pitchers of sprite, coke, and water.” My uncle Lucas says

“Of course. Would you all like a minute to look over the menu or are we ready to order?”

“I think we are ready. We will have 3 deep dish pizzas with mushrooms and pepperoni.”

“Uncle Xavier can we have spinach in the pizza please.”

“Sure baby girl.”

“You can also had the spinach to all three pizzas. We will also have 2 pepperoni pizzas and 1 all cheese with 5 orders of fries, 6 orders of calamari and 2 large salads.

“Would that be all?” Andrew asks

“Yea that would all. Thank you.”

The waiter comes and go’s about 10 times. Poor guy he must be tired I can hear his heart beat louder and it sounds like he’s huffing and puffing every time he comes by.

I was able to have a slice of pizza, now let’s hope I’m able to keep it down. We all have a great night and surprisingly I was able to keep the pizza down. The ride home was a little rough, I ended up getting really car sick but not enough to puke which is improvement to say the least.

Getting home I head to my room and I feel like something is off. The air in the room is different. I feel my way around my room and everything seems to be left in place but I get this weird feeling like something is off. I shake off the feeling and go take a bubble bath. My anxiety has been really bad and my muscles are so tense I need a minute to relax.

Coming out of my bubble bath I smell like roses and strawberries. My muscles feel a little better. Walking into my closet I get hit with the scent of cologne. It’s different from the other guys cologne; this one is a little stronger. The scent is so familiar but I can’t pin point where Iv smelled it at.

Someone was in my room while I was in the bathroom. I hurry to put on some pjs and scream for my brothers. They all come running into my room freaking out asking me what happened. I play it off and tell them I’m fine but I wanted to watch a movie with them and wanted to cuddle. Non of them hesitated and agreed to stay with me in my room. I discreetly ask each one of them to get me things from different areas of my room. Who ever was in here better of had left because if not one of my brothers will find him and I’m pretty sure they would kill them.

They end up watching the first Avengers movie while I heard it. Luckily I had already watched that one so I was able to replay the movie in my head while I heard it. I end up falling asleep with all three of my brothers on my bed. It’s been a really long time since Iv been this comfortable.

I remember when my parents first died I had all of my brothers go to sleep in my room. I trusted no one but my uncles and their families. My brothers would help with my nightmares; they help with my anxiety and depression. Until this very day I haven’t told them how I found our parents and our people. Not even Lucas, AJ and Mikey know how I found their parents. No body knows how I found them except me and whoever was on that field that day. Most of our people died that day and the ones I saved either hate me or protect me with everything they have and keep my identity a secret.

My uncles have had to kill many of our members and ex members from trying to hurt me. We were constantly on the run and I even had to be homeschooled for a couple of years. But I got sick of it and looked for another solution. Since we had a couple of good witches in our small pack they were able to make me a potion to hide my scent completely. I was also able to get contacts to hide Artemis’s eyes when I needed too. Things have been a little better since then but it still isn’t the same.

Waking up with my brothers in my bed was bitter sweet. I have one arm on my face, someone’s knee in my back and I’m all around squished. God I need a bigger bed for the four of us, I think to myself. All of a sudden I get this horrible pain under my belly button. I have tears rolling down my face from how much it hurts. Sam wakes up from feeling me shifting in the bed. I can hear the pain in his voice, then I hear David and max wake up. I tell them not to worry about and make my way to the bathroom.

I sit on the toilet and I feel terrible. I have the shits and I think I just got my period. I start smelling blood and I’m cramping so bad. Luckily was able to feel around and put my pad on properly, we’ll at least I hope I put it on properly. After what felt like hours of being in the bathroom I go change into some comfy cloths for school. I’m so bloated nothing really fits, I can barely walk, and everything hurts; I need to hang on to the wall and take baby steps in order to get around.

Getting dress was such a challenge it was ridiculous. Walking out my room I get the sudden urge to vomit. I try shaking it off and I couldn’t. I make my way to my bathroom and start puking my guts out.

***knock knock****

“Hey little one you almost ready?”

“Umm yea give me a sec.” I had hold my vomit back so I can talk.

“Ok”

“Hey you ok in there.”

“Yea Mikey I’m fine. I’ll be right down.”

I puke my guts out until I literally don’t have anything else in my system. God what’s going on with me. After rebrush my teeth and use some mouth wash I head downstairs slowly finally making it to the kitchen.

“Hey sorry I’m late. You ready?”

“Baby girl you ok. Come here?”

“Yea I’m fine uncle Xavier. Derek you ready?”

“Baby girl your warm. You sure your ok?”

“Yes I’m fine. Come on we are already running late.”

I turn around getting really dizzy losing my balance a little.

“Hey you ok?”

“Yea I just lost my footing. Thanks for the catch.”

I can feel my heart race from the pain. I try and control my heart beat by focusing on the things around me. Let’s see there are birds chirping meaning it’s nice out. The sun is probably shiny and warm. Ouch it hurts. It hurts so bad. I start feeling the strongest cramps I have ever felt. I stop mid tracks hanging on to my lower abdomen for dear life. Tears are falling down my face. I can’t move.

“Hey you ok? What wrong come here.” Derek says with concern in his voice.

“I can’t it hurts to move.” I say hunched over.

“Princess are you ok.”

“What happened? What did you do Derek?”

“He didn’t do anything Lu. Just give me a minute and it will go away.”

“Ok I should be good now.” I straightened myself up and start walking to Derek’s car again when the cramps come back. This time it feels like the wind was knocked out of me and I fall to the floor. I curl up in a fetal position with tears running down my face again.

“Princess what’s wrong. What hurts!”

“Lu it hurts! It hurts so bad.”

“Come here. Your done for today.”

Lu picks me up from the ground carrying me inside to the kitchen. I can feel everyone else flowing us.

“Oh my god Lucas what happened. Is she ok?” I hear my tia Lisa ask

“I don’t know. She collapsed on the floor.”

“Here Lu lay her down”

“Thanks Mikey” I hear Lu say

“Mija what’s wrong? Ooh your super warm.” My tia Lisa states feeling my forehead

“I don’t… I don’t…” I get up running to the bathroom to puke some more. I hear a knock on the door telling them not to come in.

The last thing I remember is puking and then feeling really sleepy.

“What what happened? Where am I?”

“Hey hey hey it’s ok relax sunshine. It’s ok your in your room.”

“AJ what happened? Where is everyone at?”

“Lu and Mikey’s parents are talking to the doctor right now and your brothers are at school with Alice. Lu, Mikey and I decided it was best to stay home.”

“Ok but what happened? Ugh it hurts.”

“You passed out in the bathroom floor. Beta Lucas had to break it down in order to get to you. You were really pale and curled up in a ball on the floor. You really scared the s**t out of us.”

“I’m sorry I didn’t mean too.”

“It’s fine. I’ll go get the doctor and let him know your up.”

“Wait AJ don’t leave please.”

“What you want from me Crystal. You ghost me and replace me with Derek.”

“ I didn’t replace you. I just…”

“Just what Crystal.”

“I freaked out ok. Plus why would want to be with someone whose blind and broken anyway. You can have anyone you want.”

“Oh sunshine come here. Hey look at me your not broken.” He says sitting next to me on the bed.

I lay on his chest relaxing into his arms. I can hear his heart beat. I’m in so much trouble. I can’t be without him. After cuddling for a little while, I finally let the doctor know I’m wake.

He runs me through some test including a eye one. AJ helps me with that one by taping the back of my shoulders and arms to let me know where to look.

“My Queen, you have a high fever and I need you to try and keep as much food down as possible. If not I will have to put you on an IV.”

“Do you know what’s the cause of this doctor?” I hear my uncle Xavier ask

“Stress is a big role in it. I also took the liberty to do a couple of other tests and you have a hormone imbalance. With the imbalance it can affect your day to day activities but it also affects your period.”

“How does it affect her period?”

“Well Mrs.Beta it makes her period is twice to three times as painful than the average female. She can either bleed more or bleed very little, it also gives her horrible cramps in her ovaries, her back is incredibly sensitive. One wrong move and she can pull it and blow her back out completely. Not to mention the bathroom situation. Vomiting is normal but having diarrhea and vomiting at the same time is not normal. The queen is in a very fragile state right now and unfortunately her body is on over drive trying to fix what it can hence the fever.”

“Is there a cure for it doctor?”

“Yes but it’s all up to the queen.”

“What are my options Doc?”

“There’s three. You either get on birth control, have a baby, or remove your ovaries.”

“WHAT! NO!” I hear my uncle Xavier yell

“Wait so this can affect me having kids as well?”

“If not taken care of yes.”

“No I’m not doing any of those things. I’ll deal with the pain. I’m already raising 3 kids I can’t raise another.”

“As you wish my queen. With that said you need to make sure you eat and drink plenty of pedialight. If you can’t keep food down you need to drink the pedialight. And your on bed rest until your period is completely gone. The fever will go away on its own but putting a cold alcohol rag on your head and stomach with help take out the heat faster. Make sure you rest. Your body is fighting a lot of things right now and is on over drive so be very careful.”

“Ok doc.”

With that he walks out. I wonder if he knows about my vision issues.

“Dang so much for you having grand kids mom.”

*SMACK*

“Ouch what was that for?” Mikey said complaining probably rubbing the back of his head.

Oh my god they were all in the room. Everyone heard about my period! Great they all know. Can this be anymore embarrassing!

“Can you all give the five of us a minute.”

“You all can come in in a couple of minutes.” I hear my uncle Xavier say

I hear shuffling and the door shut.

“Sweet heart why didn’t you say you were in so much pain?” My tia Marisol asks me

“I don’t know. I didn’t want to worry anyone and figured it would go away.”

“I didn’t mean to worry anyone. I’m really sorry.”

“It ok baby girl. Now we know what’s going on and can help you right Lucas.”

“Yea princess he’s right. Your done with training and going to school for the next couple of days. How long does your women hood usually last?”

“Ummmm I don’t know it varies. Sometimes three days sometimes four but this time it’s different. Everything hurts and I’m really tired.”

“Ok how about you stay home and in bed for three days and we will check back in with you after that ok.”

“Ok uncle Lucas.”

“I’m really sleepy can I take a nap please?”

“Yea baby girl that’s fine. You give us a holler if you need anything ok. Ms. Abigail will bring you some food later.”

This sucks. I’m literally useless. God forbid someone tried to attack us then what?! I need a nap. Maybe I can sleep it off.

“Hey Siri what time is it?”

“It is 6:30 pm.”

Holy s**t I literally fell asleep all day. Even though I slept a lot I don’t feel rested.

“Hey Siri read me my text messages”

Derek: Hey how you feeling?

Derek: Hello! Answer me damit.

Derek: Ok just let me know if your alive.

Derek: I’m taking your silence as your alive but sleeping. Txt me when your up.

I must of really freaked him out in order for him to text me so much. I tell Siri to text Derek back for me letting him know I was sleeping and that I’m alive. I make my way off the bed and the struggle is real. I’m hanging on to the wall for dear life, if it wasn’t because I needed to pee I would be laying down.

“Ms. Abigail!!!!”

“Yes Miss. Crystal”

“Can you please bring me some of my brother’s shorts and their shirts. My cloths are too tight on me.”

“Yes ma’am”

She gets me a pair of shorts with a big lose shirt. I take off my b*a and my yoga pants. God the feeling of taking it off felt amazing. It was like some of that pressure was released. I make my way downstairs to the living room, and the house is really quiet I don’t think anyone is home. I lay on the couch and wrap myself up in a cover that’s laying around. My cramps are still pretty bad and my lower back is really hot and swollen. I’m hungry but I’m scared of eating.

“Hi there baby girl.”

“Hey uncle Xavier”

“How you feeling?”

“Everything hurts uncle X.”

“Come here baby girl.”

I cuddle up next to my Uncle Xavier and he starts rubbing my head and then he rubs my back. It feels really good. It’s helps ease the pain a little.

“My poor sweet innocent baby girl. You really can’t catch a break can you. It’s ok though your not going through this alone” I hear my uncle Xavier whisper before placing a kiss on my forehead.

He really loves me and is willing to fight until the end for me. If only he knew the truth. But he can’t, he already has enough to deal with. I cannot add more to his plate.

I wake up on the couch wrapped up in a cover with the tv on.

I spend the next seven days at home. Yes I said seven. My period was the full seven days of hell. The nausea and diarrhea didn’t stop until day 6 really. I was non stop drinking pedialight because that was the only thing that was actually staying in my body.

The guys b brought me all my school work along with lots of ice cream and candies. AJ even went to the store to get me a heatable stuffed animal. It was a giraffe. The long neck gave it away.

Since I was home AJ helped me do all my homework and even cuddled with me when I wasn’t feeling good. I missed everyone so much.
