The Abuse of an Orphaned Luna

This is your new home

After they found me, that night . I woke up terrified. I was in a room so dark, I couldn't see a thing. I was lying on something kinda soft. I try to stand. I turned my feet to the side of whatever it was I was lying on. My feet were less than 5 inches to the floor.I must be on a mattress', I thought to myself. I tried to stand but immediately fell back on to the mattress. I was too dizzy, so I decided to slide down and get on my hands and knees. I started crawling . I needed to figure out the perimeter, try to find the door. The floor beneath my hands and knees is coarse, hard and cold to the touch. There were fragments of dirt I could feel beneath my hands, almost like really coarse sand. I felt around it seemed like a decent sized room. But, I had finally made it to what felt like a door. The door was cold and felt like metal. I felt around it trying to find a handle. I felt at the bottom first. There was something weird to me. It was like a small door in the door itself. I stuck my fingers under the bottom of the little door and attempted to pull, but it wasn't working. It was just too hard to open, so I felt around some more for a handle or something. I did find a small handle on the right side of the door. Hoping against all hope, I pulled myself up using the handle. I attempted to pull as hard as I could. I put all my weight into it till I felt on the cold hard floor. I had crawled back to the door and tried kicking it. I started to yell and scream and cry all at once.

"Let me out, Mom, Someone please let me out. I didn't do anything wrong, just please let me out!" my voice was trembling and I felt so alone.

I yelled and cried for what seemed like hours till I finally curled up in a ball feeling defeated and just cried. after crying for what seemed like hours.

I decided to start banging on the door. I didn't want to be here anymore and I thought that surely someone would hear that.

As I was banging on the door I heard it. Footsteps, running to the door.

"shhh..... You need to stop little pup. I saved your life the best I could, but if you don't quit banging on the door they may just kill us both."

suddenly the small door at the bottom of the big door slid open. It was really too small for me to get through judging by the little bit of light that came through it.

Iwasn't use to seeing light so even that little bit of light was hurting my eyes. the crying hadn't helped with my eyes either though. I could just barely make out the flashlight that this man had pushed through my door.

"A flashlight? why can't you just let me out?" I asked.

"Shhh... I can't just let you out. If you turn on the flashlight and look at your bed, I saved something for you. Listen you need to not yell and bang on things ok and if you're going to talk it needs to be in a whisper like I'm doing now, ok?"

I turned the flashlight on like he directed. I turned it towards the ceiling. The ceiling was all concrete, there were no windows, just concrete everywhere. There was a mattress with a blanket and a pillow, and a box next to the mattress. Everything around me just felt so cold and lonely. I got what little barrings I had and attempted to stand. My head hurt but wasn't as dizzy. I walked to the bed and there it was, my stuffy. The stuffy was a little wolf my mom had given me for my last birthday. It was white, just like her wolf and it always reminded me of her and her wolf.

"Thank you," I said.

"You're welcome little wolf. I'm Beta Samuel. Well, I was Beta Samuel. I've been demoted for the time being. But, let's not get into the details of that. I'm to be in charge of you from here on out. That means if I tell you to do something, you do it. You can't argue or fight with me. If you want to stay safe that is what you need to do. The Alpha and his Luna are very strict in this territory and have very little patience. Do you understand anything I am saying to you little pup?" Samuel says in a calm tone

"Kind of"

" I know it's hard to understand, but I can't be your friend here. I work here which you will too. If I get caught showing weakness to you I will be in trouble and punished. There are some rules that you will follow here and we will work on most of them tomorrow. There will be punishments for anything that you do wrong. I will have to be the one to dish it out as much as I don't like it. I will not be able to go easy on you. So, whatever pain I may inflict on you in the future, just know ahead of time that I am sorry, but it will have to be done.You will not be able to speak without being spoken too. You won't be able to cry outside of this room. You will be serving Alpha Marcus and Luna Lucy of the golden leaf pack. I am sorry this has happened to you ,but this is your new home now."

"can I ask a couple of questions?'

"Only a few"

"why does the Luna want me dead? And when can I leave? And how does she know my dad and me?"

" I will only tell you a couple of things ,but first you need to promise that after tonight you will not ask anymore questions, and only speak when you are asked to by either me, the Luna, the alpha or her sons. OK?"

"OK," I said, not honestly knowing everything I had just agreed to. It wasn't till later that I ended up finding out what the punishment for speaking out of turn was.

"OK, So like I mentioned, you are in the Golden Leaf pack. You are here because I couldn't bare to see you or any child die. You're here to work. You can never leave and none will ever find you. Unfortunately for you, the only ones that know you're even alive are me, the alpha and Luna and their two boys. Everyone else believes you to be dead. The reason the Luna wants you dead is a simple answer power. See with you gone there's no heir to your territory. And it is a large territory. But with you gone, the alpha and Luna can claim your parents' land. That is all I can tell you. Now it's late, you need to sleep. We need to be up early and you'll need your rest. Work starts early around here. Oh and little pup?"

"Uh huh?"

"This is more than likely the last time I can truly be nice to you. So please forgive me in the future for anything I may say or do to hurt you. I really don't mean any of it, but it'll have to be done.I hope you understand."

After that night, my whole life changed.
