7. The Prophesy
1470 Words
"Go up to your room and do not come out until I say so."I followed my mother's words and hurried to my room.
My eyes were still wet from crying. My mom's hateful look and my brother's pitiful glances wouldn't leave my head.
I couldn't shift. I didn't have a wolf. I almost chanted these words repeatedly to myself. I sat on the bed feeling agitated every passing second.
Minutes turned to hours and my mother wasn't still back. Never has it happened in the pack before, a werewolf without a wolf.
"Damn it."I cursed, getting up from the bed and pacing around the room. The moon goddess played a silly game on me. I felt connected to birds and I teleported once and had visions but I didn't have a wolf. It doesn't add up.
The news might have spread all over the pack by now. I felt goosebumps on my skin. The Omegas, ones that didn't have any abilities were often bullied by the pack.
"This can't happen to me,"I yell as I imagined everything that could happen once the pack realized that I was weak.
I felt my head boiling at the thought of it. I feel suffocated and my head hurts. I crumbled to the ground and allow the tears to fall out of my eyes.

I slowly regain consciousness on the cold floor, the cold was everywhere. I might have passed out on the ground. My whole body was aching especially my ribs.
I rubbed my fingers through my head as I sit up from the cold ground. The sun had gone down and the room was getting dark.
It seems my mother wasn't still back. I have always been ignored by her but today I felt unwanted. The realization hits hard again and I couldn't get rid of the fatigue in my chest. I don't have a wolf, a disgrace to the pack.
I allowed myself to rest on the ground. Maybe it wasn't too late. I might still shift on the next full moon.
My door screeched open and I snapped my head to see who's coming in. Ava's head peek through my door.
"Oh Rose, you have been crying."She leaves the door and rushed to me.
I don't realize that I have been crying until her hands wrapped firmly around my shoulder and I leaned my head on her chest.
"I'm sorry you have to go through this, I have never imagined something like this to happen and I heard rumors circulating around the pack.."
An involuntary hiss rose out my lips as my worst fears seems to be happening already.
I sobbed harder at her words, "What did I do to deserve such a cruel fate Ava,"
She hushes my sob but I can't stop crying.
"You have to be strong Rose, this pack has so many secrets.."She pushed me off her chest and looks directly at my tears stained face, "Last night, three pack members were killed in their house and blood.."
I shook my head and pushed her away from me. I was already an outcast. "What are you trying to do Ava, I'm weak now, I can't help you and we are only sixteen, what could we possibly do."I yelled out.
My head was screeching, different voice running through my head with different echoes.
"Made it stop.."I screamed trying to block out the sound.
"Rose, you are scaring, please calm down."
I held my head trying to block out the pain but more tears just falls out my eyes. I felt suffocated breathing through my mouth in painful groans.
"Ava make it stop.."I screamed feeling a painful rush through my head, my eyes were blurry and my mind felt chaotic.
"What's going on with you Rose,"
I close my eyes but the pain worsen and my body was torturously heating up. I couldn't feel myself. I wanted to let it out so I screamed.
The sound of shattering glasses rang across the room along with Ava's screams.
"Rose, calm down.."She wrapped her arms around me as I could hear every single piece fall to the fall.
"What's happening to me."I asked as I glanced around room in horror, pieces of mirror were all over the floor. My window were shattered out.
I could hear the sound of Ava's racing heart, her erratic breathing, the ticking clock, everything sounded louder.
The pain only seems to worsen,I couldn't get rid of it, the door bursts open and my brother barges in.
I closed my eyes allowing the tears to slip through but it didn't get any better.
"What's happening to her,"My brother asks as he stepped over the glass and rushed to my side.
Ava passed me over to him and he wrapped his arms around me. "I don't know what's going on with her."
My muscles tensed up and a cold sensation washes over my body and the pain vanished allowing my weak strength to crumble in Ray's arms.
My breathe were gasping out in deep pant, the cold relief seem to go through my head. "It's gone, I'm okay now."I breathe out.
Ray pulls my body off his shoulder and cups my cheeks looking straight at my eyes. I couldn't help but break down in tears.
It's been long since he looked at me this way, with so much care.
I'm brought out of my daze by Ava's words, "Is she going to be okay,"She asked, her words with a hint of panic.
"I don't know what's happening to her, I have not seen anything like this before."He brought my head allowing me to rest on his shoulder.
Ava walked behind him and looked at me, she used her fingers and wiped the tears off my face.
"Rose.."She called slowly.
Her worried eyes were still on me as she patted my head.
"What's was happening to you, your eyes glowed red when you screamed."She muttered breathlessly.
Ray snapped back,"Her eyes glowed red."He asked and I think Ava nodded.
"Do you know what that means."Ava asked.
"My mother should, I've heard her discussing of it with my father some nights ago."
"Should we ask them."Ava asked my brother softly.
"We should."He replied before I lost consciousness.
*. *. *.
I slowly open my eyes to find myself in the room alone. I sit up and put on my shoes. It's morning already. The sun is shining bright through the blinds.
The room has already been fixed and doesn't look like something had happened.
I rubbed my fingers through my head and stood up from my bed. I went to my door trying to listen to the distorted voices.
I can hear my mother's voice but cannot make out her hushed whisper. I leaned closely, my ear squashed against the door along with my hands for support.
I couldn't make out their conversation so I pulled opened the door and stepped out of my room and saw them still speaking in hushed whisper.
"I can't believe that the rumours are true, at this rate, no one will want to join the pack training,"
She paused at the sound of my door opening and looked startled, I've never seen my parents so agitated.
"Rose, how are you feeling."She asked.
I nodded slightly at them but couldn't get rid of their suspicious movement,"I feel a lot better now."I replied.
She glanced at my dad and back at me, with swift movement she is already in front of me, "I want to talk to you about something."She muttered.
I nodded slowly and rubbed my palms against my clothes.
"Ray and Ava told me about yesterday and I hope that you will never speak of it to anyone."She searched my face as she dropped off her instructions.
I looked up at my dad hoping he would explain further but he just stood there keeping mute.
"You are not going to tell me about why I felt insane pain and blew up my room.."I questioned but mother just looks away.
"We are just trying to keep you safe,"She yells at me.
I scoff. "You don't care about us, mom. What are you trying to keep me safe from."
She turned to my father who looked right at me. "Don't you dare question your mother, no one should hear of yesterday's incident especially the Alpha."
"Or you ashamed that you didn't just get a wolfless daughter but a disaster too."
Her eyes glowed blue and she lets off a growl. Before I could react, she grabbed my neck and slammed my back against the wall.
I groaned in pain. I didn't have a wolf so no super fast healing abilities.
My dad ripped her off me and looked at me with frustration. "From the prophesy.."
"Huh."
"We are protecting you from the prophesy."
