Her Mute Sister (Complete)

Chapter Eight

                                                                        Ambers POV

    I woke up feeling refreshed and happy.  The pain from gaining my wolf was forgotten as I quickly got dressed to go downstairs.  I saw Willow was up and breakfast was ready, I was given a special birthday breakfast since I’m a child of an Alpha.  There were pancakes and all kinds of different toppings.  It all looked delicious and I would have to thank Willow for it later.  Everyone said happy birthday to me and I knew they were all excited to see what my wolf would look like.  

    “Why do we put up with all of this?” Ivory asked.

    “Because right now we have to put on a show, I can’t let them know what we’re planning” I said.

    “I know but I honestly hate them, like how could they treat their own daughter like this?  Willow has done    absolutely nothing to them yet they act like she is the dirt beneath their feet.” Ivory said growling to herself.  

    “I know but can we not talk about this right now?  Like there are a lot of people around and I don’t want them asking questions” I said and went right back to eating.  No one seemed to notice and I was thankful for that.  

    As the day went on it came nearer for me to shift for the first time.  I was nervous but also excited.  My parents told me how to do it and what would happen.  I wasn’t excited for the excruciating pain I’ll be feeling but I was excited to see my wolfs colors.  Willow seemed to be excited in her own little way.  I know she was having to hide it because if she didn’t she would be punished.  

    There was about an hour left till the ceremony so I decided to go in my room and relax.  I didn’t really want to be around the pack right now because I was rather angry at them for how they treated Willow.  It’s not her fault she was born.

    “So how long do we have to wait to fully enact our plan on getting out of this hellhole?” Ivory asked.  I sighed “I’m not sure, definitely until Willow has her wolf so she can leave.  Although depending on when that happens I’m not sure since I may not have enough money saved up” I said.  Ivory was quiet for a moment.

    “I guess you’re right, $500 isn’t nearly enough for us to live on.  It probably would be best to wait till our 18th birthday to run away since by then she should have her wolf and we can work fulltime to support ourselves” Ivory said.  I smiled, she was right about that.  

    “Amber it’s time!” my mother screeched upstairs.  Me and Ivory sighed as I walked downstairs.  My mother smiling at me with pride.  I mentally rolled my eyes and Ivory growled at her.  She can look at me like this but not Willow?  Seriously this woman is f****d in the head.  I can’t wait to cut contact with them all.  

    I approached the stage and my father announced it was time for my first shift.  Everyone cheered and I faked being happy about this.  I was dressed in a robe that I would take off as I shifted.  I waited on stage and closed my eyes.

    “Are you ready Amber?” Ivory asked me.

    “As ready as I’ll ever be” I replied.

        “Just remember to breath, it’ll be difficult but you have to breath” Ivory said.  After she said that I felt something happening.  I wasn’t sure what it was but I knew I was getting ready to shift.  I kept my eyes closed and tried to breath as steadily as I could.  

    “Ok Amber we’re ready.  I’m going to count to three and when I say three you have to let me have full control” Ivory told me.

    “One” the pain started but it was bearable.

    “Two” the pain increased and I was having a hard time breathing steadily but I forced myself to.

    “Three” I full let go and gave Ivory complete control of my body.  It felt so weird.  I felt the excruciating pain but heard my cries of pain turn into a howl.  My eyes opened and I knew I was seeing things the way Ivory saw things.  I also felt the hatred towards my pack that she felt.    We took a few shaky steps and went over to a stream to see what we looked like.  We had light gray fur and yellow eyes.  We smiled at ourselves.  Then we went on a run.  I just sat back and let Ivory have full control.  She seemed to be enjoying things.  Today was a good day.
