Chapter 3
647 Words
Today I had woken up in a totally different place than the previous ones. This house looks ancient and seems to be in a much poorer state than mine. I am just happy I have everything I need like food, shelter and especially love. I got up from the floor but my legs felt weak and wobbly causing me to fell done immediately. This is strange because my legs never felt this way before.
I let out a coughed and felt sick almost immediately. I roll my back to the ground. Dad. I called him through mind-links and saw him working on the farm. He got the message as he saw my face becomes more visible. We, alphas, have the power to communicate with each other through our mind. It is similar to sympathy but on a higher level. We are able to feel each other’s emotion. My dad seemed to be tired today.
Hey honey, are you alright?
No, dad, I need your help. I can't walk. I feel queasy.
Like how? My father is a doctor and very knowledgeable in his field.
I feel nauseous and weak. It feels as if I've been poison.
Where does it hurt the most? He sounded worried by his tone.
My head hurts like hell.
Ok honey listens to me. The person you have killed today, can you remember their taste.
I'll try. I closed my eyes to recall the taste. I remember it tasted bitter and I highly despise it. I choked immediately after recalling the taste as it spread in my mouth. I could feel the poison in their flesh. Normally, supernatural beings don't get poisoned unless it's made especially for the supernatural beings. Wait. I'm poisoned? I can't harm me unless it was made for werewolves. There is only one kind of poison that can harm us. Slowly, a word formed out of my mouth, "Wolfsbane."
Honey, what did you say? Did you just say wolfsbane. I didn't reply. I was petrified. I just lay there with my eyes wide open thinking to myself about my death closing in on me. Ok honey listens to me. Do you think you can walk?
I think so, but it's painful when I move.
Ok then right now I want you to go home as fast as you can. Don't go through the woods. It is not safe. Your mother and I will meet up at our home. Go NOW!!!
I didn't reply or argue back instead I just stood up slowly using my hands for support. Each step I took, pain shot up my feet and gradually into my body. As quickly as my feet could take, I entered my bedroom, rapidly changed out of my bloody clothes into a new outfit and dash out of the house.
I tried walking at my normal speed but it seemed impossible as the wolfsbane started to take its effect paralyzing me. When I got home using the shortcut my mom had showed me before. I smile painfully.
Once I got home my parents had already finished packing our stuff. My dad brought me a drink from the kitchen. It smells and looks like tea, but once it entered my mouth, it tasted like bitter gourd. My stomach churned with disgust as I gag, but I knew this stuff was going to get rid of the wolfsbane inside. I drank it all in one sip and cough. Afterward, I felt weak and tired as my energy slowly depleted. My father put me on his back and started walking.
I was worried. I fought to stay awake. All I could think of at this point was that I was dragging my family and friends in danger. News about me had leaked. Now, they are going to hunt me down. They are going to kill me.
The king will kill me!
