Dhampir Queen

Phoebe Jones was rudely awoken by her shrill alarm clock the day of her graduation ceremony, a full 2 months before she would turn 18. She knew her family was going to eventually regret the way they had treated her, as whatever she was going to shift into on her 18th birthday was strong. She however had no idea, and the other half of herself couldn't tell her, because she had no idea either. '5 more minutes.' her other self Lilith said in her mind. 'We don't have 5 more minutes.' Phoebe sighed as she threw the thin covers off of herself and rolled out of bed. It was 4 o'clock in the morning, and she knew if she didn't start breakfast now, it would never be ready for her 'father' and brothers. She used the term father loosely, as he was not truly her father. She had been conceived during a Rogue Attack 18 years earlier, and her mother raped by multiple creatures before the Pack had managed to kill them all. So it wasn't known what she would change into when she turned 18, but she knew a few things she had been keeping hidden. She was just as strong as any of the Wolf children her age, and even though she knew she was faster and could run longer, she had never revealed this to any of them. To her family and the Pack, she was the useless slave that no one would ever want. And they made sure she knew that was exactly what they thought. Even the Alpha and Luna who were supposed to ensure all members of the Pack were safe and protected, had made sure she knew that they could care less about what happened to her. They knew exactly how her parents and siblings treated her, and turned a blind eye to it all because they had no desire for her to be in the Pack because of something beyond her control. Despite her stellar grades at the Pack School, they still let her know she would be lucky to be ranked an Omega once she became 18. As she made breakfast for her siblings and parents however, she knew today was the day that the Pack was going to learn that they would be the ones losing out on her. The Alpha's twins were in her graduating class, and every portion of the grades their parents cared about was set to be demonstrated today. The final assessment was done so the entire Pack could see, and she planned on embarrassing the hell out of them. Even her so called family was about to be blown away, because she was ranked among the lowest of the low by her teachers, despite the fact that she was one of the best the school had ever seen. Just as her family woke up, she poured herself a to go mug of the steaming hit coffee that had just finished, and slipped out the back door so they could not ruin her mood. 'Today is the day?' Lilith asked her as she ran to the field that the Seniors had to be at by 7 am. It was still only just after 6 as she sat down sipping her coffee. 'Yes, today is the day we show them exactly what we can do. Than we leave before the party even starts, and laugh as they wonder where the hell we went after showing up the precious Alpha twins.' Pheobe replied with a smile. Exactly at 7 am the stands filled with the students, parents and family of the graduating students, as well as any of the Pack that wished to watch. The final assessment would test their ability to just about everything, and she knew there would no event that she didn't place first. First up was the speed and endurance test, that had them facing a 3 mile obstacle course that the Elite warriors used for training. Pheobe smiled as she lined up with her 11 class mates, wearing her sports bra and very tight fitting shorts that would allow her to give her best. "Why bother scum, we all know you aren't good at anything." Jackson said on one side of her making her smile. He was the Alpha Heir, and thought just because he was next in line that he was the best at all the events. "No Jackson, I am not you. My ego isn't inflated just because daddy is the pathetic Alpha, and you won't be winning any of the events today." she said as the teacher fired the pistol in the air signaling the start of the race. Pheobe however stood there for a few seconds, and watched as this stunning action caused Jackson to trip his sister Amber instead of her. The wipeout was glorious as Amber did a full speed face plant into the gravel because of how the rest of them started. Phoebe however slowly counted to 5 as the clock kept ticking the seconds away before she took her stance and shot off like a bullet through the running portion of the course. It was a 2 mile trail she had ran many times, as she required less sleep than the rest of her family. She spent every free moment she had training in some way, using the time everyone was asleep to do so unmolested by anyone. "Smell ya later loser." she said laughing as she easily passed Jackson less than 20 seconds later as she finished the run in 2 minutes flat. Her jump into the obstacle course shocked everyone there as she landed gracefully on top of the 40 foot rope ladder that most of them struggled with. In under a minute she had completed every obstacle there was, and the speed she used to go from the end of the obstacles to the starting line amazed them all as it was captured by the high speed cameras. Her total time was 3 minutes and 5 seconds, shattering the record the Alpha himself had set during his assessment of 3 minutes and 45 seconds. The 5 Wolves from the Council that were here to grade the results were already reviewing the cameras, and verified that she had indeed covered every inch of the course as was required in that amount of time. It was funny to her because it was another 30 seconds before the Alpha Heir even entered the course, and it was obvious to everyone he was sweating profusely. Phoebe on the other hand was barely breathing hard, and had yet to even warm up as she stretched getting ready for the strength competition. Alpha Jeremy was currently yelling with the head examiner, how it was not possible for her to have done what she did without cheating. Especially as her previous scores had been so terrible. She nearly laughed when one of the examiners came over to her with a clipboard and a recording device hanging from her neck. "Ms. Jones, can you please explain the discrepancies between your previous tests and this one." the woman said looking at her curiously. Phoebe chuckled as she kept stretching. "I am sure the cameras caught the intentional sabotage by Alpha Heir Jackson that was directed at me and caught Luna Heir Amber instead. I am also sure you received numerous complaints from me about the instructors unjustly penalizing my time scores over the last 4 years. If you need any further evidence than that, I suggest you review the tapes of ky perfor,ance today, and I will consent to any tests you wish to perform." she said as Lilith laughed in her head the entire time as it was shown because of his actions, Jackson would receive a 15 second time penalty which placed him in 5th for the event. It was sweet music to her ears as the exa,oner walked away. They had actually received the complaints, which was why there were 5 examiners instead of 3. The Council had sent 2 representatives to ensure accuracy and fairness in the assessment, as it would impact the scholarships each of the students was eligible for. For over an hour she watched as one by one her classmates performed the various strength test on the machines that were in the same area, and she was laughing as the top 5 weights for each of the stations was shown before it was her turn. None of them were anywhere near what she was able to do, as she had long ago maxed out what each of the machines was capable of. The closest was Jackson who was 75 pounds shy of the max, and she was about to show him up. "What weight do you wish to start with?" the same examiner that had come and asked her about the differences between her submitted test scores and what she had done today. "Max the machine out." she said as she got prepared and the lady was surprised she wanted to do that first off. Not one of the students had managed it yet, and here she wanted to start there even though she didn't have too. Phoebe however was still smiling as she got set for the first position, and began as soon as she was told the machine was ready. They had to do atleast one set of 10 reps, and she easily pounded out 20 at the station. For each of the 5 stations she repeated the process, maxing out each of the machines as the Chief Examiner looked at his clipboard and what she was easily doing now. "Why are your scored once again so skewed?" the Chief Examiner asked her as she looked at the teacher. "Because the teacher is sexist and refuses to allow 'girls' to do anything more than the previously submitted results." she said as she watched his face go red and his body started shaking at what she had said. He had indeed been doing that, as none of the other girls could even come close to it as she had. Now he had watched her beat every single record the school had, as none of them had been able to max out these machines at 750 pounds at her age. The final event was the Combat Tournament, and here was where she planned on shining. The top 3 of each bracket would be allowed to progress into the next tier, and the same teacher had refused to promote any of the girls beyond the intermediate level. She was the best on the class, and she couldn't wait for her turn to go up in brackets and kick the ass of the Alpha Twins who thought they were the best there was. For the rest of the morning the Seniors battled it out in whatever way they could, and Phoebe had won every single one of her matches despite the rest of the girls indeed being eliminated in the intermediate bracket. She was the only girl who had moved into the Advanced Bracket, and the Examiners were not surprised when she began winning her matches. Both of the Alpha's Heirs were in the Expert group, and she couldn't wait until she went up the bracket again. More than once she had beaten them in fights that were more unfair than anything she would face here, as Amber and her group of cronies found it hilarious to make her life hell. She had gotten lucky and faced one of them in the intermediate bracket, and had embarrassed her so badly that the Examiner had called the match in her favor. Once the Expert matches started, everyone in the Pack was surprised that Phoebe was still in the competition. It was rare for the women of any Pack to be so highly ranked, and Alpha James was beginning to wonder if he had made a mistake. He had no idea she would be this good, as she had not made an single mistake in any match. She easily won her first match in the Expert round, which put her in the semi finals of the competition. She had fought through the Intermediate and Advanced brackets like it was more of an annoyance than she was serious. The rest of the Pack leadership was nervous as well, because if she were to win this match it would put her in the Head Warrior ornpossibly even Delta training programs. They knew a lot of the Pack Members had made her life hell over the last 17 years, and she would likely make their life as much hell as they had done her. They however had no idea as they watched her destroy the Beta's son, as he had been one of her biggest bullies over the years, like it was nothing more than showing someone that they didn't even deserve to be in the ring with her. She had knocked him out cold within 60 seconds, and the Examiners having tongues smelling salts to wake him again was more embarrassing than she had done to any of them. It also secured her ascent into the leadership of the Pack, as the Alpha Heir walked into the ring for his match. No one had expected the outburst from Phoebe when he won the match, and the 15 minute timer began counting before their match would begin as Jackson lay down in the middle of the ring. His match had taken nearly everything he had as they were restricted to Human form only for this assessment. "Ms. Jones, can we speak." the head examiner asked her as he walked up. "What can I help you with?" she asked as she kept practicing her Yoga while she waited for the match to begin. She was doing it to keep her body warm and loose for her final match. "You have greatly surprised us today, especially as it seems your scores have been intentionally suppressed by the teachers and leaders of this Pack." he said as she switched poses and began holding it. "I filed the first report nearly 5 years ago saying that very thing. It may not be common for women to be able to match what the men can do, but they should have the opportunity to be the best they can. They should never be told they cannot achieve more than what the men believe them capable of." Phoebe replied before changing her pose yet again showing her flexibility. "We are aware of that now, however to have restricted someone so harshly is unacceptable." he said to her as the teachers got nervous as she finally stood and walked over to him. "Than change it for the future, so no one feels they have to do what I will do after I win the entire thing today. Report that everything that happens after I embarass the Alpha Heir, is all because of your inaction on 5 years if monthly reports of suppression and bullying. Not only by students, but teachers and Pack leadership." she told him before she turned her back on him and went back to her stretches. As soon as the clock reached 0 she was called to the ring to face her worst bully of them all, and the one she wanted to embarass the most. Knowing that beating him here would do just that, as he had loudly been proclaimed the favorite to win this event. Jackson jumped up as soon as his name was called, and sneered as he realized it was her that he was facing in the finals. "So the trash thinks she has what it takes to beat me?" he declared arrogantly. Phoebe raised her eyebrows as she entered the ring, deciding that she was going to needle him as well. "You speak bravely for someone who doesn't have 3 of his buddies standing behind him. Today it's just you and me pretty boy, and Inam going to make sure that everyone here sees how pathetic you really are." she said wiping the smirk of his face just as the bell rung to start the match. Her words had the desired effect as he was instantly pissed and coming at her wildly, as she began dancing around him dodging all of his attacks and slapping him as a counter each time he punched. His first kick she ducked under and slapped his thigh leaving a hand print welt on it as she did. For 5 full minutes she did this to him everytime he threw a punch or kick, and could tell he was extremely pissed off. "Can you do anything other than slap me?" he demanded breathing heavily as he glared at her. "Can you do anything other than hit air?" she asked back smiling as she wasn't even out of breath yet. This pissed him off even more as he came charging at her again, and she decided it was time to show him just what she could do as she danced around his wild swing and kicked the back of his knee which put him on the mat. As soon as she did she jumped onto his back, wrapping her legs around his head and threw him into the ropes that he had been running away from in one smooth motion as she did a backwards cartwheel. She looked at him with a smile as he landed in the ropes, and walked over casually before she landed a perfect roundhouse kick right to his jaw. The force of it sent him intonthe corner post hard, before he fell into the ring unconscious. He didn't even stir as the Examiner counted him out, still unmoving as the medic came running over with the smelling salts. It shocked everyone with how effortless she had made it look, as he had long been hailed as one of the strongest Wolves of this generation. Phoebe watched and laughed as it took 2 different smelling salts to wake him up, and he knew he had been completely shown up by that had happened as she was declared the Victor of the Combat Tournament. She walked over to the Head Examiner, as he was shaking his head at what had happened. "How can I get a copy of my final results that cannot be sabotaged by the Dark Moon Pack?" she asked. "The Council will have a copy of your final report, and a notation will be made showing that you were improperly suppressed during your educational opportunities here." he said before she walked off leaving her parents and the Alpha standing there wondering what exactly had happened.
