Chapter 2
571 Words
Running through the woods I couldn’t help but wonder how my life has become so messed up. Just six months ago I was safe (as I could be) with my mother running from that monster, going from one pack after another looking for either a place to lay our heads for the night or mainly to find a place to call home. Now I am alone running and having no idea where I am. Scared that I have lost my mom forever I honestly don’t even remember when and where I seen her last. I do remember our last night together or at least I think it was our last night…….
FLASHBACK
*Fire crackling and popping*
*mom* I think if we can make it to the blue moon pack, we should be okay, your father was best friends with their now beta and even though it has been years since we all spoke, he should give us a nice safe place if not permanent then long enough to build our strength up and plan our next move
*Megan* All I can do is nod my head letting her know that I did hear her, as I am very tired, and I have already gotten my hopes up way too many times before from hearing this story every time right before we would get turned around at the gate or by an alpha would get a of each pack.
*Mom* I am sure if we get up early, we should make it there by noon.
*She looks at me looking like she is hoping I would get excited but of course I would not. *
*Mom* “I want you to promise me something” she says in a small calm but eerie tone. * I look at her and nod indicating for her to continue. * I want you to use your words and promise me before I finish what I am asking of you she says in a louder voice than she started.
*Megan* hesitantly I nod and start to feel this uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach but deciding to ignore it I say I promise mom now what do you need me to do?
*Mom* If for what ever reason we get separated I want you to run do not stop just keep running. Do not and I REPEAT DO NOT come looking for me! If I am not dead *I gasp at her choose of words, tears forming in my eyes at just the thought of something worse than what we are already dealing with happening to her* I WILL find you baby girl. I need you to survive I need you to be safe and loved! You are too special and……. (she sighs) ….. I have already lost your father I refuse to lose you also!
*Megan* Mom I cannot leave you! You are the only person I have left, our whole pack was killed by those monsters and dad died….. I can’t help but feel like his and the packs death and loss are partly if not fully my fault.
*Mom* Did I ever tell you about the day you were born?
I shake my head no still trying not to cry.
