"Good morning Father. Good morning Mother. Good morning brothers." 5 year old Anpu greeted, bowing. Her blindfold blocking her vision, she could imagine the disgusted looks of her "family".
After greeting them, she took her place among the other servants. Waiting for the family to finish before she could continue with her chores. Hearing the laughter that came from the table saddened little Anpu. She had always wanted that.
Anpu was mature for her age. Even before she could walk and talk she was a good and well-mannered child. She hardly ever cried, which frightened the omega's and slaves that were in charge of taking care of her. Her "family" was shocked as well but they soon got used to it. It wasn't till little Anpu's 3rd birthday that her appearance started to change. At first it was just her hair, which was originally black, turned to white overnight. Then her eyes, which were red, had turned completely black, almost as if they had disappeared. Then her skin, having spent most of her time outside she was tan, but like her hair and eyes her skin too changed, from tan to a sickly pale. No one knew what was happening, after several trips to different doctor's and witches they had given up and just summed it up to her being different. And in this day and age, people were often afraid of different. So they distanced themselves. They as in her own "family" and "pack".
On top of being the only Omega in an Alpha family, and having her appearance change so suddenly, everyone called her a freak.
That was her new name.
On her 4th birthday no one celebrated. Anpu wanted to believe that everyone was just too busy, but even she knew that wasn't true. Disappointment and sadness filled her heart, she was alone. No one loved her. No one cared about her. And most importantly, no one knew what happened behind closed doors. She was grateful that she was just a little pup, because it meant no one can hit her or it'd be obvious she was being abused. Even then, that didn't stop anyone from throwing insults at her and belittling her at every chance.
It was decided on her 5th birthday that she would always wear a blindfold and live in a separate home by herself. Her "parents" didn't even bother to hide their happiness of her finally leaving, her "brother's", who were only a couple of years older than her were happy as well. They didn't bother to think how this could affect a child that was still growing. Both mentally and emotionally. As weeks passed she learned to cook and walk with her blindfold on.
There was an unspoken rule she learned. Never take off her blindfold.
It was yesterday, she was in a rush to go to the pack house to help the other Omega's prepare dinner and complete other chores. She forgot she had taken off her blindfold to look at the scenery, so when she arrived everyone was freaked out. The only people who had seen her eyes were her "family" members, anyone outside the family thought she wore the blindfold because she was sensitive to light. One of the Omega's thought something was wrong so they immediately ran to tell "Father". He had rushed from his office to see what was wrong. Looking at everything he didn't find a problem, but the Omega had pointed at her saying something was wrong. Asking of they needed to get the pack doctor. Instead of responding, her "Father" strode to her direction and slapped her.
"Didn't I tell you to never take off your blindfold!?!" he yelled at her.
She looked at him shocked. Not once in her 5 years of life has anyone ever laid their hands on her. Tears were falling, which seemed to freak the Omega's out even more. "Blood!" one of them shrieked. Confused, Anpu touched her face and when she looked at her hands she seen red. She too got scared. She looked to her "Father", hoping he'd say something to comfort her. Instead he slapped her again. "Don't look at me. Filthy s**t!" he proceeded to slap and kick her.
The Omega's remained silent, their faces looked pale and their eyes were full of fear. Not a single person tried to stop the Alpha from hitting the poor girl. Instead they slowly left, opting to ignore the screams of pain coming from the little girl.
After he had finished he threw her in a closet, chaining her hands. Even if you don't have a wolf chains still burned, it was just a little less painful. Day's went by and no one brought food. Little Anpu was scared and starved. There wasn't a single person who fed her, maybe it was out of fear of their Alpha. No matter, as long as she sleeps she won't have to feel hungry or scared.
That's how she comforted herself.
As she was falling asleep she heard a whisper. Scared she looked around, "Who's there?"
No response. She hoped she was hearing things, but another whisper came.
"Who's there?" she asked again, her voice shaking.
Her eyes started to play tricks on her. She thought she seen a figure in the dark closet, so she shut them. She whimpered, trying to make herself small, begging to be let out. She felt a touch. Springing up she looked around, trying to look for whatever touched her. The only thing she could see was darkness, but then that figure moved again. Closer to her. She stepped back till she bumped onto the wall, but the figure kept coming closer. "Stop! Don't come closer!" she cried. The figure didn't stop till it was right in front of her. She closed her eyes as the figure's hand touched her head. When nothing seemed to happen she opened her eyes. She looked around, and realized she was in her room. She felt relieved, thinking what happened was a dream, but then everything started to go dark. The only light came from the moon. Getting up she walked around, wanting to find an adult. Looking down the hall she seen the outline of a person.
"Hello?"
When there was no response, she walked toward the person. "Excuse me, can you help me?"
The person laughed, "Sure," as she got closer the person slowly turned around. When it was fully facing her, she gasped. The person was missing c****s of it's skin and it looked as of they had been burned.
"Are you alright? Do you need any help?" even if they looked scary, she thought they still needed help. The person started laughing again.
Anpu was beyond scared, she was frightened. Not knowing what to do, she started to walk backwards. Distancing herself. The person started walking toward her, as they got faster so did Anpu. They continued till the person was chasing Anpu, but the further she got the more it seemed that the person was getting closer. She was afraid to look back.
Looking back the person was right behind her, they went for her feet. Grabbing hold tightly Anpu tried getting away. The person pulled her feet, causing Anpu to fall to the floor, hitting her head on the ground. She passed out, when she woke up people were surrounding her, remembering what happened she screamed. Grabbing her head, she closed her eyes and yelled. Begging the shadowed figure to take her back to the closet. The people started to grab her making her thrash around, telling them to get away. She continued to scream for help but no one came. After a while, she felt something poke her. She looked around afraid, then noticed one of the people had a syringe in their hand. Her screams slowly stopped as she fell back to sleep.
