The Truth
837 Words
I'm shaking so bad that the ground is shaking with me. The pain in my body is like nothing I've ever felt. But, the pain in my heart is far worse, how could this secret be kept from me?! What was so wrong with me that my own mother treat like a worse than a rabid animal?! I couldn't stop screaming.
"PAPA!!!"
"Lex, I'm here. It's going to okay. You need to breathe."
I try to slow down my breathing but I still can't control it. In this new pain I feel so alone.
"Lex, look at me."
I lift my head and try to focus on his face.
"Just because you know the truth doesn't change who you are."
"I'm nothing! My own mother treats me like a monster!"
Papa grabbed my face making me stare into his eyes. When I did I saw his eyes change from his normal brown to dark blue and forrest green. I'm shocked when I finally stop shaking. Papa was a wolf like me? I'm not alone?
"Papa?..."
"Don't you ever in your life call yourself a monster. You are not a monster. You have no idea how strong you are. And it's for you to realize it."
He lifted me up and help me put my hair back up.
"Lex , it's time to shift. You need to let Leah out and become one with each other."
"Papa, I'm scared. I don't know what to do. I've never done it before."
"I'll be right here with you. Your going to be just fine."
I take a breath and look him straight in the eye. I know he's right and Papa has never let me down so I trust him.
"Okay Papa. What do I have to do?"
"Close your eyes, breathe, find Leah in you mind and, will her to come forward."
I closed my eyes and took a few breathes. I'm concentrating more than I ever have before. I really want to shift and make my papa proud regardless of anything. I let myself drift in my mind. Now I'm in a forrest surrounded by trees (What can I say? I always loved the great outdoors. Why wouldn't it be in my head?) I start walking when I heard a distant howl. I take off running towards the sound, faster than I've ever ran before. I'm mostly excited but I'm also filled with so many questions. What didn't Papa tell me that he was a wolf? Is that why he knew about Leah before I knew about her? But, most importantly why did Drea hate me so much? What could I have done that was so bad to treat your own daughter so badly? What is wrong with me?
I hear a voice so soft and warm in my head saying
"Nothing is wrong with you Lex."
I look up to see a gorgeous silver and white wolf with dark blue and violet eyes. She was so beautiful.
"Leah?"
She walks up to me and nudges my shoulder. She has atleast 2 feet on me and I'm not scared at all. Papa always told me that I was given my wolf to be my friend and other half of me. No matter I would always have her.
I sit down on the ground while Leah sit across from me, we never broke eye contact. We have a lot to talk about. I'm glad Papa told me that me and Leah can speak to each other through our minds. Which I think is awesome that way people don't think I lost my mind. But now I just want to truly get to know Leah, I really could use a friend.
"You need to train."
"I know but why?"
"Your chosen."
"That really doesn't help me know why."
"Which is why you need to listen, trust and, do everything your told."
"Okay, you'll be with me right?"
"Always. We are inseparable now."
"Ready?"
"Always."
"I can tell we are going to get along great Leah."
We stand up and walk towards each other. I have a huge feeling that everything is going to change for the good, the bad and, the worse. But I know I wont be alone, I have Papa and now I will fully have Leah. I have to be strong and I have to be brave. Leah and I look each other right in the eye and know it's time.
"Now,Lex."
I rest my head on hers and hold on to her head. As soon as we started to close our eyes I felt nothing but electricity pulsing through my body. And then we are engulfed in light. As soon as I opened my eyes I looked down and realize I see paws. We did it, we're connected now! I can't to see Papa's face. I turn around to walk towards the mirrior to see myself when I see a huge completely silver wolf in front of me. I growl because I don't know who this is and I don't know where Papa is. The wolf takes a step and I growl louder.
"WHO ARE YOU?!"
"Hello Lex."
I know that voice! Then I look and see the wolf has dark blue and forrest green eyes...
"Papa?"
