Chapter 6-Clara, Ciara and Ruby
795 Words
Ciara dashes over to both me and Mum and starts going ballistic as Mum is doing my hair before hers. Ciara is that sort of girly girl who loves pink, dresses, skirts, makeup and especially hair, but this was all about me today.
"Ciara, I'm doing your sister's hair. Wait your turn".
"Why? It's not her birthday and no one cares about her".
This upsets me. Ciara and Clara both know that I'm low ranking in the household and pack. Clara normally doesn't take Ciara's side on things, she's more like a tomboy like me and keeps to herself.
"Ciara"! My dad screeches at her. He growls at his youngest daughter as she flicks her hair and puts her nose up in disgust as if she's smelt a baby's nappy. Ciara soon leaves the room throwing a tantrum whilst Dad is trying to teach her manners, again.
Clara pats my lap, this is her way of saying she wants to sit on my lap, I let her and Mum carries on with my hair. After she's done with my hair and asks Clara to move to the bed, she does my makeup. Chase starts to go on about what Ruby is saying to him through messenger.
"Just block her, she's nothing to do with you. She's not even your mate". I say not giving a damn about that b***h who had made my family turn on me yesterday with her fake lies. Chase smiles and I see him messing around on his phone.
"Done". Chase says gleefully with the corners of his mouth reaching his ears. I looked at him puzzled.
"I blocked Ruby. You're right. She isn't my mate and never will be".
I smiled at him and wondered why he changed so much when Laika told both him and my parents that I had self-harmed.
1 hour later and we were all at McDonalds. I had a cheeseburger, large fries and a banana milkshake. It felt nice being allowed to eat whatever I liked and not being called overweight. In the corner of my eye I see a girl with dark red hair, Ruby.
"Please take me back, Chase"! she screams at the top of her lungs, making everyone turn their gaze to us. Great, more drama.
Ruby runs over to Chase with pleading eyes that he'll take her back, but when that doesn't happen, she turns and spots her next target, Clara.
"So Clara, still not speaking yet".
Clara doesn't respond, but this seems to anger all of this. I'm used to Ruby taking it out on me at college or when she was allowed at the house, but if I was busy she would target Clara.
"I guess not. What a loser"! she laughs out loud thinking that everyone is going to join in but thankfully they don't. When that doesn't work, she grabs my milkshake and pours it onto me, which now makes everyone laugh. But not my family. The only family member laughing is Ciara. This angers my mother, but she wasn't the only one angry.
"Ruby Collins, don't make me remove you from your position". A woman's voice beamed out. It was the Luna, Rory's mother, and with her were Rory and Cade.
In a blink of an eye everything changed and all I could see was Jericho sending me a warning of who I could trust but when my gaze went to Rory and Cade, everything went black.
When I awoke, I was in hospital. Standing and sitting beside my bed were my family and the Luna, Mary.
"How are you feeling my dear"? Luna asks me, holding my hands in her own. They were warm and soft, whilst mine were dry from being used as a servant.
"Fine",I said, mumbling. She heard me though and I thought she'd smack me for not looking at her.
"Nyx, you can tell me what's wrong". I look at her combobulated. She smiles and cups my cheeks in the palms of her silky, warm hands.
"The Moon Goddess"?
I soon realized that both the Moon Goddess and Luna are like guardians of the pack and help those. Luna's will also pray to the Moon Goddess and will speak to one another, but that's what I've read.
Mary asked my family to leave and as soon as they left, I told Luna Mary everything.
"Dear, you should listen to her, but what I don't understand is that she never came to me to tell me that you were struggling".
*Probably because you were another reason you two face"... before Laika could say anything else, I'm hit by Cade's scent. He had come in with Rory and the nurse.
"Hello Nyx, I'm your nurse". My nurse greets me with a warm smile.
