New Me

I woke up but kept my eyes closed. Something is wrong. It's quiet, too quiet. I know I live on a farm but there is always a noise, rather it's the crickets or the sounds of animals moving around, there was always a noise. Right now, it's so quiet, I can feel my ears hurt with silence. Something is wrong. With my eyes closed my hearing increases, so i am trying to hear anything-something, come on, give me something. I decided to stop waiting and slowly get up. Something is wrong. My younger sister Alyssa and I share a bathroom so that becomes my target. I slowly get from under my blanket and move my feet to the cold floor. I check my door and see it's still closed and nothing looks out of place. Something is wrong. I tiptoe into our bathroom and hop onto the sink counter. Since we have a shared bathroom there is 2 of everything, so I am currently standing in the middle of our sinks. I move closer to my sister's door and put my ear on the door, to try and hear something-anything. Something is wrong. I don't, no I can't hear anything. My panic rises. Alyssa is 10 so she doesn't have her wolf yet, leaving her defenseless, but I am 18 so I am always alert to protect my family. After waiting a few minutes, trying to calm my nerves, I wipe my sweaty hands and turn the knob on my sister's door. Something is wrong. I quietly hop off the counter and stalk towards her bed, and finally I hear something or should I say someone. There is someone outside her door. My panic comes back when I notice my sister is not breathing. As I stand over her bed that's when I notice the knife on the floor, it's as if my brain stopped. She's gone, there was a slit right across her neck, blood on her clean pink pajamas. I froze. Something is wrong. The sound of a car truck opening is what snapped me out of my daze. Her window was at the front of the house, I peeked out the corner of the window and saw a black van. Solid black van, and about 4 men guarding it. Then that is when I saw 2 body bags inside the back of the van. I hear the floor in the hallway creek, like an unknown instinct I slide under her bed. Someone enters, and just stands there. There is no movement besides me trying to control my breathing. He comes over and scoops my sister out of her bed, her beautiful pink bed not stained red, and walks out the room. I need to stop acting like I am useless, think. I was so caught in the moment I never reached out to my wolf, I never tried to use the mind link, never tried to feel my family through the bond. Maybe because I knew deep down, it was empty. There was nothing but silence. My wolf was even gone, I was fully alone. My brother, Alyssa twin Joseph, slept on the second floor next to my parents room. He was my next stop since the 2 body bags have to be my parents. Before I can even move, I hear them toss another into the van. My heart hurts, it feels like it's bleeding from inside, pain is my only friend right now. I put my ear to the floor and finally heard movement. Someone is angry at the sight of my empty bedroom. I can feel the anger in the stomps as they walk outside to inform, I assume is their leader. I haven't left under the bed because her door is still open. I can't see or feel what's happening but I am assuming they don't care that one child is missing because they closed the van doors. I make my run for the second floor, as fast as my legs could go, I hop down the steps and make it to Joseph's open door. Empty. Something is wrong. It's empty. I am too late. What kind of protector am I? I slept through my family's murder. I cry. But only until my saddess and hurt builds into rage, oh beautiful f*****g rage. I not only see red but feel red. Even without my wolf I still feel this unknown power come with my rage. My new mission is to get that f*****g van and everyone whos in it. Something is wrong. I make my way into my parents room and look out the window, watching. There are currently 3 men standing outside the van, and there is one in the driver's seat, but I know there's more, maybe another 3 still checking around the outside of my father's property. One guy, who is tall with a mask on his face and his scent, has a device in his hand. It's not a phone, it doesn't look like anything i've ever seen before. Something is wrong. Then in one click, I could hear everything again, it was almost like that device created a barrier around the house. I can feel my wolf, Mazzie, and finally hear her. I can hear her pain, feel her loss, then feel it add to my rage. “What happened Maze? Why didn't we wake up?” “I don't know, I don't know what happened. We were sleeping then I just couldn't wake up. I could feel everything…..everything but I was stuck in an endless slumber.” “Do we recognize anything about those men? Am I missing something? What should I do?” - I feel my tears build up but I refuse to let them fall. Not now. “Oh my precious Zara, you know exactly what we need to do.” - her eyes glow red, a thing i've never experienced before, but it was so powerful. I allow the rage to consume me, I can feel my nails extend into claws and can feel my teeth push out my dangerous sharp fangs. I am not currently fully shifted, don't get me wrong, I can shift but I feel more dangerous when I am half shifted. I like knowing I look like a crazed monster, with my extended claws from my hands and feet and my mouth almost looks like that one character from Mortal kombat. I try to decide if I want to go to the ground first or the roof for a better view. Roof it is. I climb out the window and like a spider I climb, deadly quiet to the roof. I sit and observe. I can feel these new red eyes and they give me a new power of vision, i feel like i cant see literally everything and it so f*****g beautiful. “We are ready to go boss” - a bald man with a tattoo on his head said to a thin, tall, redhead. “We will leave first, tail us, make sure we leave without any interruptions” - boss replied. I smiled, like a madman, I smiled and I knew this was my opportunity to get my revenge.
