I pace around my room screaming and crying in attempt to drown out sound of the blaring alarm. It hasn't stopped ringing at all. It's feels as If It's been blaring for hours even though I know It hasn't even been, what, fifteen minutes maybe?
Either way it's killing me.
I feel that as If at any minute now my head could split In two, I'd be surprised If my ears weren't gushing out blood right now.
I was once told by a woman in white that the overhead alarm was made specifically for my kind and It drives us nuts, It has a whistle tone In It that only we can hear. Even though Its usually only used whenever someone steps out of line, there have been times when the people in white used it on me to punish me for disobedience, I have a feeling deep down that this is not the case. So more than likely someone just tried to escape, Or they did escape being that It's still going.
At last, Not being able to take the noise any more I collapse on to my knees a balling mess and put my head In my lap, Praying that the alarm will stop soon.
DING!
DING!
DING!
DING!
DIN-
After forever in what felt like my own personal hell everything goes quiet.
And for a second I don't believe It, the alarm actually stopped! My ears still ring off of the hook, I can't really hear anything but I do make out that It's quiet.
Too quiet.
I know It's not supposed to be like this. I should hear screaming or something I don't know so I sit up a little, Arms wrapped around my chest while I try to control my breathing. I'm on high alert.
*Click*
Automatically, my eyes shoot open and start frantically looking around the room for any sign's of pending danger and stop when my eyes land on the door.
It's open.
My cell door Is open.
Fear immediately clouds my mind so I shoot myself backward Into the wall and crouch myself into a defensive stance just In case.
I look at It for a while, just waiting for something to happen as I would any other given intrusion but when I cant seem to see anyone I close my eyes and try to listen for anything In my hallway.
But there's nothing. I hear absolutely nothing.
Opening my eyes again I look back at the door. Its less than half way open so I tilt my head to the right in hopes to see something.
Anything.
Then I hear something opening, a door more specifically opening then the sound of footsteps indicating that someone is moving.
I prepare myself and listen, They have never tried anything like this on me before so I stay alert and ready for anything, In position and still listening to the steps approaching slowly.
After a second more of listening I tune into some one.....crying.
Someone not too far away Is definitely crying. They sound so little, like a baby.
I Instantly soften when I identify a child and my instincts tell me to go and comfort, But I still have to stay on alert this could be a trap.
I stay and listen in my spot and hear as the little child wonders around the hallway In absolute shambles crying for somebody to come help and the longer that I wait the worse I feel, I'm still scared so I can only Imagine the child's pain until finally, I decide to go take a peek, just a peek.
Standing up straight, I prop myself up on my tippy toes and start my way slowly twords the door. When I reach, I leaned forward cautious not to touch It In fear of setting something else off or getting caught and punished for breaking so many rules so of course my paranoia Is on high as I gaze out into the light.
It's bright, The light In my room was low so I didn't quite expect that but what my eyes focus I catch sight of him. He has tan skin with a thick head of big bouncy brown curls and when I look down I notice that all he has on Is a tiny pair of white shorts, my heart instantly crumbles.
Why are they so cruel?
Not being able to take It any more I slip out of the room, I'm tiny enough that I don't even touch the door or wall then begin to tip-toe over to him, He's about halfway down the the hall so I takes me a while to get to him which is good, this way I have the time to properly observe my surroundings and find the trap before I have the chance to step right into it.
Even so, the little ones cries take my full attention and I continue my way tweeds him much faster than I mean too. He's closer now and I feel myself getting impatient.
"Hey....." I whisper as low as I possibly can, I don't want to spook him nor do I want to draw any unwanted attention our way but when he whips around and sees me coming his way, screams start to erupt from his tiny person.
It makes my heart clinch and my skin crawl but I keep going I have to calm him down. For my sanity and our safety.
"Hey now.... hey" I coo trying to get him to calm down, my voice Is harsh and rugged as Its been a long while since I've had the opportunity to talk. I crouch down In front of him and put my arms out then back In gesturing him to come to me in the calmest way possible "I won't hurt you I promise come to me" I whisper In efforts to further calm him.
He looks at me still crying one hand rubbing his other eye. It looks like he wants to say something but he's far too distraught so I continue to approach him.
"I won't hurt you I promise." I take a step closer, This time he doesn't scream, But he finches so I stop moving but continue when he covers both of his eyes to continue.
He doesn't know what to do and this hurts me so deep.
With a deep breathe In I take the last couple of steps between and scoop him up into my arms, He's much heavier than he looks but I still find a way to secure him around my tiny torso while patting and rubbing soothing circles on his little back. He rests his head In the crook of my neck sobbing, arms at his chest, And legs wrapped around my waist. It makes my heart hurt so much that I can't do anything but hold him but even so I do to my best abilities.
"It's gonna be okay" I whisper to him bouncing up and down to get him to calm down. He's freezing In my arms, maybe even colder than me and he was only wearing shorts. Why hadn't they given him his clothes yet?
"It's okay. Your okay now" I kiss the side of his head Instinctively, something Inside of me already telling me what to do and how to treat him. It seems to work though as I feel him relaxing a little. I take In a deep, relieved breath of air as I feel his frantic nerve wracking state steadily subsiding.
It's progress and it's helping us both so much that In the moment I almost forget about our given situation. We are not safe, stable for the time being maybe but far from being out of harms way.
Now to find out what's going on.
When I start to look around, I lean over a bit to look In the front of me. There's a door open at the end of the hall but with sense I'm just gonna guess that It was his.
Next I take a couple of steps foward and turn to my left there's another hall, It's long with two more doors, none of them are open.
Then I turn around and look at my hall to see that there are two doors open. The one that I came out of and another two doors down. More people are out but I don't know If that Is good or bad sign yet. I don't know what Intentions the other wolves here have, but I do know that we are all just trying to survive and one would do anything to ensure this. I start to walk twords It but stop dead In my tracks when I see blood surrounding a person in white straight ahead on the ground.
I've been thinking pretty quick, maybe not rationally but nevertheless for my safety. This however, clears my thoughts and makes my stomach clench In attempt to empty the nothingness that resides within me but I hold It back, something that I've learned to do on many different occasions.
I turn back around to look for any other exits, but to my luck both halls are dead ends.
I turn around realizing that I have no other choice. One foot after the other I make my way to the end of my hall, twords the blood.
It's the way out I tell myself.
The only way out. So I walk and when I reach It I stop to poke my head out of the frame with a gasp of horror.
The sight alone makes me want to just go back In my cell for the rest of my life and die as I was destined to before when I catch sight of the spread and sprawled out bodies of the people In white littering every floor of our surroundings, hand prints of blood splatter and stain both the walls and ground showing their struggle.
Thinking that things can't get any worse I look up and behold across what looks like a whole other building, I see wolves in action. Huge balls of fur slicing through the humans in white and destroying everything in their path. And the only thing separating the things on this side from the chaos over there is a single sheet of glass.
Still I watch, completely stunned as I witness my captors being subdued to dust right in front of me after thinking for so long that they were so invincible.
As evil as It may sound, It gives me hope that a werewolf did this, that my race is doing this. Is finally doing this and maybe, just maybe this will teach the humans a lesson for the future. Not anyone will just bend to their will.
When the little one in my arms pulls my hair I look down to his little puffy face and realize the we've been here to long. This may be happening, these wolves may be wining the fight but I know for a fact that I cannot if caught so after a deep breath in.
I continue.
I start to step over the bodies, arms, Legs, And other unidentifiable body parts trying my best not to look at them as I make my way along. I have no idea where I'm going but far away from this sounds like my best best wherever that may be.
Soon I stumble to the end of the hall where it splits Into two and after considering my options I reasonably decide to go left after looking at the wall and seeing that It lead to a stair case. I felt like that was the better option with a gut feeling.
I speed up since this is a more open area, I can't be seen on this side and I find myself hoping that this side has been cleared of both species during this battle.
When I successfully get to the end I sigh feeling grateful that there was no trouble In my path but of course my silent victory comes to sweet end when something comes speeding around the corner and smashing Into the wall at the far end of the hall behind me.
So glad I didn't go right.
Hesitantly, I look back, Only to make eye contact with a massive werewolf. He's pitch black and covered In blood, leaning on the wall with one hand, and as my eyes wonder I find a huge gash on the right side of his muscular his chest. It looks like It hurts but I know for a fact that It Is healing by the second because I do and I know for a fact that he's way stronger than me.
I'm snapped out of my thoughts when he stands tall removing his hand from the wall and puts one foot forward In my direction.
With that I take off. I push open the stair well door then start to practically fly down the stairs.
I get half a flight down when suddenly a bloodcurdling roar fills the air, Followed by the sound of paws hitting the hard ground in the hall I just escaped and my adrenaline kicks In, pushing me faster than I have ever gone in my life.
