Her Mute Sister (Complete)

Chapter Nine

                                                                        Willows POV

    After Amber shifted and went on a run I was told to go back to my room.  So I did.  I was fine with it since I would have a little extra time to work on a new clothing item I was making.  I wasn’t going to work on my dress since so many people were near by.  If they saw me making ragged clothing they wouldn’t care, but if I was making a beautiful dress it would be like that scene in Cinderella.  I was making myself a new shirt since I needed one.  It was like all my others made from scraps that came from other shirts.  However I at least kept like with like.  If it was mainly black I would put it with other black fabric etc.  The shirt I was making currently was purple.  It was as solid of a shirt as I could keep it however I found a pretty pattern that I used for the sleeves.  It was purple with little white flowers.  I thought it looked nice.  I had been working on it for the last week on and off.  I knew that during the meeting thing or whatever I could use that time to get caught up on the sewing I needed to do.  Some of the clothes I had were a bit small since I did grow a little.

    It was around 11:30 when I had finished the shirt and made sure it fit.  I put everything away and got ready to sleep.  I wasn’t expecting to see Amber since she’d be surrounded by people celebrating her first shift.

    I woke up the next morning and began my usual routine.  However I decided to wear my new shirt I made since it was much more comfortable than what I wore yesterday.  I got breakfast ready and was serving it to everyone.  No one gave me any attention for my new shirt which was a relief because if they did it was never good and normally would result in it being destroyed.

    As soon as everyone finished eating and I had everything cleaned up I was called by an Omega to go to the Alphas office.  I went and made sure I was quick about it as to hopefully avoid a beating.  As I walked in I was motioned to sit down in front of the desk.

    “Do you know why I called you in here today?” he asked.  I shook my head no.

    “We have decided to move you from the room you’re in now to the room in the attic” He said.  I remained emotionless but mentally I was ecstatic as that room was bigger then the one I had now.  Hell I could stand and lay in the middle of the floor and still have room for furniture.

    “You will move your things there tonight without getting in anyone's way.  You better make sure you do it quickly because I don’t want you wandering around for too long” He said.  I nodded my head to agree with him.  I figured he was doing this because we are have guests from other packs and he doesn’t want to risk me being seen by anyone.  He motioned for me to leave and I did quickly and quietly.  I continued going about my day.

    It was night time and everyone else was getting ready for bed.  I quickly went to my current room and packed everything up.  I used two boxes stuffed full to carry it to my new room.  It only took about fifteen minutes to move my stuff.  I then spent a little bit of time unpacking everything and finding a new hiding spot for my special dress.  I noticed a slightly loose board that would come up if you pulled it just right.  So I decided that is where I would put my special dress.  I made certain it couldn’t be seen.  Then I went to sleep as I was exhausted.

    The week had gone by without anything really happening.  I also hadn’t seen Amber in a little while.  It was fine I figured she was probably busy or something.  However I knew she would come tonight since tomorrow is my birthday and she wanted to see if I was an early shifter.  I went about my day and finally it was night time.  I waited until I knew everyone was asleep and I decided f**k it and wear my beautiful dress I made.  At 11:50 I began to believe she wasn’t coming.  Then I heard footsteps and began to worry.  Luckily it was Amber.

    “I’m so so so sorry I haven’t seen you at all this past week” she cried as she hugged me.  I patted her letting her know it was ok.

    “Ivory had told me something so I was super busy trying to take care of things” she said.  I looked at her confused.  Then she looked at me and saw I was wearing that dress I had been working on for months.  

    “Oh my goddess it’s absolutely beautiful!” She exclaimed.  We didn’t have to worry about being a bit loud since this room was sound proof.  I smiled at her and I did a little twirl.  It was purple going from dark at the top slowly fading to light purple.  It went down to my ankles.  There was pretty white lace around the neckline, sleeves, and bottom edge of the dress.  It was my pride and joy and I was absolutely pleased with it.  We then sat on my bed in silence.  We stared at the clock waiting for it to turn midnight.  Finally it did.  Amber turned to me and said happy birthday while giving me a big hug.  I smiled at her.  Then I had a bit of a headache.  Amber noticed this and motioned for me to lie down.  I did and she rubbed my back while humming a lullaby.  I felt my eyes close.  The pain got worse and worse and then nothing.  I wasn’t breathing and I couldn’t feel anything.  Then I heard a voice and started breathing again.  

    “Hi Willow, my name is Sumeria” My wolf said.  I couldn’t believe it, I was an early shifter.

    “You can hear me even though I can’t speak?” I asked.  She nodded.  I smiled and realized I wouldn’t really be alone anymore, not that I was to begin with but it wouldn’t just be Amber anymore.  

    “May I take over for a moment and speak to your sister?” Sumeria asked.

    “Sure but please don’t shift, and understand I can’t speak” I told her.  She nodded in understanding.  I then let her have a bit of control.

    “Hi Amber I’m Sumeria” my wolf signed.  My sister smiled and looked so proud of me and there was so much love that shone that I began to cry knowing how much I was loved.  At least by her anyway.  Sumeria and Amber signed for a little bit before I was given back control.  I then felt exhausted.  Amber hugged me goodnight and I put my special dress away so it would remain safe.  I fell asleep and for the first time felt at peace.
