Scarlett s Secrets

ATHENA'S POV

 “Get out and never come back!”

The voice of my father resonated in my ears as he spat on me whilst talking.

Mother was there also. She wouldn’t even look at me.

I turned to her. “Mother, I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me!” I pleaded.

“Athena, You do not belong here. There is an evil inside you and it spreading so fast. You shouldn’t be amongst us. Leave!” she said in a loud tone.

“Why would they do this to me?” It wasn’t my fault.

I never intended to kill Jonas. I got angry and things went haywire. 

He was standing right in front of me saying all sort of things about my late baby sister. 

I was angry. I couldn’t take it anymore. My inner wolf came out. I tried to calm it down but it wouldn’t listen. The shift was swift and before I knew it, I slit his throat with my sharp claws.

He bled all over my clothes and another member of the pack walked in and saw what had happened.

They wouldn’t just hear me out. 

“I do not want to see you here, anymore. You are not mine! This pack rejects you and I say so on behalf of the Alpha. Out!” he shouted.

“Take her away from here, far off from our territory. She is a forbidden fruit!” he spat on my face and walked away.

He wasn’t willing to hear me. Mother turned her back on me as the other werewolves came and carried me out. 

They pushed me and kicked me hard. 

I cried.

I could feel my heart failing as they carried me carelessly and threw me to the ground when they got deeper into the woods.

“Ugh” I grunt as I am kicked in the stomach again.

They won’t stop kicking me.

“Demon! Jonas was my friend and you killed him,” one of the werewolves who stood around said.

“I’m sorry. I…….” I stuttered.

A hit landed on my face before I could utter another word.

“What should we do with her?” one of them muttered.

“Her father doesn’t want her anymore. We should beat her and dump her body somewhere,” another responded.

Before I could say another word in protest, I was once again assaulted by blows and kicks. 

There are cuts and blood stains all over my body, and slowly, everywhere begins to darken.

I lose strength and stop struggling.

Before I knew it, one of them slapped me in the face, bringing me back to reality.

“Your death would mean nothing to nobody. The pack forbids an evil like you!” his voice echoed

I lay there helpless as my nose bleed and I cough out profusely.

I am beaten and injured within every inch of my mortal body. Even If I can still move, what could I possibly do? 

These men are pack warriors trained to fight. 

There was nothing I could do against them.

I am suddenly aware of the sounds of rushing water, and my heart picks up even faster as they lifted me.
