The Shadow King's Firefox

Kayla has been raised only around humans. She had no idea she was a shifter until she was adopted by a Rouge Shifter. He came in the orphanage one rainy day and looked around quietly. He didn't say a word as he walked by the beds and the children walking around. most of the girls were at a table in the center of the room whispering. Sarah Coldwell was skinny, tall like a model, blonde hair, blue eyes and of course tan skin. She was 10 years old just like me only she carried herself as if she were 20yrs old. she always had the other girls following her around. She always wanted to be the center of attention and she usually got what she wanted. That day I was sitting on the edge of my bed from the corner of the room as Sarah got up from the table and smiled wickedly at me. The table of girls she got up from all went quiet Nd watched. The tall man had his head shaved like he had been in the army at one time. His eyes were dark brown with a hint of red. They almost looked like deep red pools, so deep the red turned black. His face was very strong and hard looking. As if those deep pools had gotten so deep because of what he has been through in his life. When I saw him enter the room I knew I wanted to be as small as possible. The man looked like he had money but that cold aura he had rapped around him screamed danger. Sarah walked up to him acting as if his cold aura didn't effect her. Immediately after Sarah had gotten up and taken a step toward him he froze. I watched in almost horror as she got closer and his eyes kept flashing red. Sarah caught my eye and winked as if to say watch me get what I want. Sarah reached out to grab his hand when she got close enough. The man pulled his hand awY before she could touch it. She made a surprised face but quickly recovered and smiled sweetly at him. "I'm sorry sir, my name is Sarah, and i." "No," he said cutting her off looking down at her small face. Tears started to drip down her checks as she walked back to the table with her heD down. she sat down and the other girls patted her back saying it would be OK and she was beautiful. That he was making a mistake. The tall man clenched his fists at his sides and looked around the room again. As his head turned my way I looked down at the book in my lap. I felt his gaze hover on me as I stared at the first page in the book. I felt him come closer still staring at my head. I tried to let my brown hair cover my face and my view of him. I started to shake as I felt him come closer and closer until he stopped right in front t of me. I looked at his shoes which were now so close I didn't have to look up to know he was right in front of me. Sarah had watched him walk over to me. she quickly got up and ran over to him as I lifted my head up to look at him. The smile he wore on his face was awkward on his hard face. As if it had been years since he smiled and he forgot how to. I almost laughed but Sarah had pushed me back on my bed more standing in front of the man again. "You don't want her sir," she said in a sweat girly voice. "Shes a hybrid and not worthy of breathing the same air as us," she hissed looking back at me then at the man. The man backed up two steps after Sarah had said that. "What do you mean," he asked looking at Sarah. "She hides a tail," Sarah pointed in my direction. The man looked at me and nodded then walked out of the commen area. "See, you are not worthy of anyone." Sarah turned on me ponting. "Your a freak and a hybrid. No one wants you. Your parents probably abandoned you here seeing how ugly your were. Your mom was probably a hore and your dad didn't want to keep a kid that wasn't from him. Your not even wanted by your parents. Your nothing," She saidgrabbing my hair pulling my head back. She got so close as she held my head back. "Tonight I'll make sure no one even looks your way again." she yanked my hair back making my head pull back with it. She finally let go as the head mistress came back in the common area. "Kayla pack your things you've been adopted." The mistress waved for me to come over and handed me two bags to pack my stuff in. I quickly grabbed the bags and ran back to my bed. As I was packing my books and my clothes the mistress walked back into the office with the man. I didn't know if he was going to be a good parent or why he wanted me but I knew if I didn't leave tonight Sarah would do something worse then every I stayed. Sarah and the girls watched as I packed. I ran to the girls bathroom to grab my tooth brush when I went to leave Sarah and the others had blocked the way out. on the outside of the door two girls were look outs. Sarah glared at me ,"hold her down." Three girls that were behind he came around and grabbed each of my arms holding them tight. the third girl came up and punched me hard in the stomach. I fell to my knees as the other two still held my arms out to the side. Sarah came up in front of me and grabbed a big chunk of my hair in one and and pulled back. She pulled scissors out from. behind her back and brought them up to my hair. "No, please dont," I say as my scalp burned from her still pulling my hair. "please no," Sarah mocked as she brought the scissors to my hair chopping off a chunk and letting it fall to the ground. All the girls including Sarah laughed. I started struggling more as Sarah kept cutting different sized chucks of my hair and the other girls struggled to hold me still. I finally yanked one arm free pushing Sarah away. Sarah fell back as I yanked my other arm free. I turned punching one of the girls who was holding one of my arms. She fell back as blood poured from her face. I turned to the girl who was holding my other arm and slammed my foot into her face. I turned on Sarah as the other girls ran from the bathroom screaming. Sarah stood up with anger inbher face. "Come on. then hybrid," she hissed pertaining to fight me. It felt like fire had engulfed me and I couldn't stop my body or mind from the one thing I wanted. I wanted to kill her. I stepped towards her as she swing her fist at my face. It was weird because as I watched her swing I thought she was going slow. I was able to grab her wrist and pulled her forward spinning around. I pulled her arm over my shoulder throwing her o er my shoulder to the ground. As Sarah landed on the bathroom floor with a loud thud. Sarah screamed in pain as the mistress opened the door to see the boody scene. The girl I had punched was hanging onto the sink crying as blood poured from. her nose. Sarah was on the ground crying unable to get up and under her was my chopped off hair chunks with parts of my scalp still attached. "What the hell happened," she screamed running to Sarah. I looked down and didn't answer. I started walking to the door when Sarah spoke up. "She attacked us for no reason. She asked me to cut her hair so she looked good for her new parents. when I messed up she freaked out and started attacking us. we were scared for our lives. Thank God you came in." The mistress got up from kneeling and marched over to me grabbing my arm. As she gripped my arm tight Sarah smiled up from the floor sticking her tongue out. "I am calling the cops, you are not going anywhere," she said about to drag me out of the bathroom. The door slammed open with the cold man holding the door open. Two of the girls from earlier who had been blocking the door were standing next to him. "Before you say anything maybe you need to speak with these girls about what really was going on." He pushed the two girls forward. "Sarah came in here to teach Kayla a lesson and to try to make her ugly so he wouldn't adopt her." The mistress looked shocked and let go of my arm. A bright red hand print was left where she let go. "God get your things we are leaving," the man said looking back at me.
