Awakening

The wolf puffs it's chest out as if it was proud of itself. But this....was bad! It was bad enough I was going to be a living punching bag but after the punching bag punches back....oh my.

In the small screen Eric was on the ground sitting up, his hand holding his jaw. When he pulls his hand away some of the members gasp and some were shock. There was a small pile of blood in his palm and he was drooling from the right side of his lip.

"E..." Mary mumbles out.

I glare at the chained Beast, "Let me have control." I needed to apologize, run, do something besides standing there!

The wolf shook its head telling me no.

"Now!" I demanded.

It's ears start to pull back.

"Please...."

It look at me hesitantly....then it looks at the rattling 4th chain and back at me.

"Will you let me out?"

I shook its head and looks back at the chain. Then barks at it.

I'm still confused....but it all made since when it yanking at it with its mouth. Biting and trying to tear it apart. I see now....it wants the 4th one off. I look at the wolf, hesitate to take it off...

It sat and snorts at me.

I'm guessing that's how to get out....

I heard Eric Yell thru the TV screen, that scared me into breaking the stupid chain so I can run for it.

I grip the fourth chain and yank and tug.

"Come on!" I put more effort in it trying to get rid of it.

The chain starts to crack, relief starts to tingle itself into me. I yank and yank and finally it breaks free away from the white wolf.

Eric was still on the floor glaring at me. His expression a mixture of surprise and Angry. I look down at my fist to see it still clinch and has a bruise forming between my knuckles. I slowly look up at Eric, who was standing up.

I look at Mary who was staring at me the whole time.

"So you've got quite an arm Sweetheart...." He moves his gaze to me still rubbing his jaw. "How about I Show you mine?" He pull his lips back showing his K9s growing.

I slowly back up. Eric on the other hand steps close his nails turning black and sharpening. As quick as I could go I run to my room, I could hear him following behind. His footsteps were loud and powerful behind me. Picture frames, on the walls, zoom past me as my tiny legs ran.

I ran down a hallway and ahead of me was....you won't believe it...Liss.

She saw me immediately and stood in the way causing my to stop. "Oh hey it's the ugly Bastard." She giggle.

"Move Liss now is not the good time!" I was panicking Eric wasn't too far behind me. After all I could hear him yelling my name and curse words.

"Oh I see you got into trouble~" She grabs my arm, "Eric I got her!"

I pull my arm trying to escape her grasp. "Liss please! Let go!"

"Your time is up E~"

"N-no stop!" I yank and yank but it was no use. Down the hall I saw Eric. He was livid, his claws were out, his teeth were out and his brown fur was starting to poke out of his clothes and skin. I don't know if it was the wolf, adrenaline or the stress...but something caused me to act rash.

I clinch my fist like I did with Eric....instead of punching her in her cheek, like Eric, I....upper cut her in the chin causing her jaws click together hard.

Then while she's stumbling back I grab her by the collar of her shirt and threw her into Eric.

Eric and Liss both tumble down on each other.

I took this chance to run to my room and slam the door.

Leaning against the door, I slid down on my butt and pull up my knees to my chest.

I'm in deep shit...why did Mary engage...why Did I engage.

I could hear Eric bang on the other side of the door,

"E! You fucking whore!"

My breath quickened and my body aches and shakes.

"I-I'm sorry!" I cried out, "I didn't mean too."

"Yea right!" A low growl escapes his lips.

"P-please I-I'm really really sorry...."

Tears slipped down my cheeks.

"God D-"

He was cut off by another voice. I could hardly hear the other voice.

Eric was talking to someone on the other side of the door obviously.

For a moment it was them mumbling, a little bit of tension in the conversation could be heard once in awhile probably because it's Eric.

A minute later I heard someone walk away, the thuds gave it away from the creaking floor boards. I held my breath on who it was who left and who was still at the other side of my door.

I felt a slight movement at my door, someone slid against my door and sat. Just sitting there in silence, I continue to weep. Wanting to disappear into the floors and walls....never to be seen again...

"So who'd ya Punch Kitten?"

"Brutus?" My heart flutters to his voice.

"In the flesh Kitten."

BRUTUS POINT OF VIEW

A small chuckle escaped my lips.

"Who'd you punch?" I ask again but added, "Eric's Pack is going off like a fog horn in a football game about you."

"Oh..." She sounded depressed and unhappy. "It's nothing..."

"Aww come on it's a big deal! A human Punching an Alpha werewolf. I would say you got a lot of guts."

"I didn't mean too..." Her voice was shy and quiet. As if she was regretting it.

"Wait what?" This made me confused, all these years of being held prisoner...and she's sorry? "I'm a little confused Kitten."

"I didn't mean to do it...punch Eric and Liss. I don't know why I did it but I think I was....scared and angry."

"Why?" I rest my head on the cold wood door.

"..." She went silent. The only sound I could hear from her was her heart beat and her sniffling.

"E? What's wrong?"

"It's not like me to act out rash...and I just made my situation worse."

"...how about we start from the beginning."

".....we got our ranks today...I was ranked as an omega and Mary did like that."

"You were what?!" I felt my chest rumbled from a deep growl wanting to emerge.

"A-and she said that I was ranked unfairly-"

"Damn right!"

"...she kept going on and on at him...I tried to stop her...pleading for her to stop...but then Eric got mad and swung at her...she fell down and I got....angry....so I don't the same to him."

"Well nicely done sticking up for your Allie."

"...Brutus....what really scared me was when Eric told me he knew I told someone....your the only one I told about our situation....d-did you tell him?" Her voice shook and stutter.

"I umm well..you see.." I wanted an excuse a quick one but all that filled my head is "she's gonna hate you"...."she doesn't want a traitor"...

"Brutus..."

"I don't know what your talking about..."

"Brutus the truth."

"This is th-"

"Brutus!" Her voice shook me awake...knowing that lying isn't the answer.

"...yes....I told him...I wasn't happy that you Humans were kept here and tortured...I wanted to set you guys free..." Lowering my head in defeat, I waited for her to yell at me.

"..."

"E?"

"Thank you."

"What? What for?"

"For giving them all a chance to start fresh...they can still find happiness and love here...maybe even a Family." E's croak.

"But what about you?"

"....I don't need anything I'll die right now a happy woman knowing my girls are safe and happy."

"But what about you?"

"What about me?"

"You deserve so much E."

"No I don't...I'm not important."

"Yes you are...your important to me."

"..."

My teeth clutch together, glued shut. I made this moment extremely awkward for the both of us.

"Sorry I sound cheesy."

She hiccups and sniffles, then I felt her move from the door. Man I screwed it up big time. My hands rubbed my eye lids while I sighed. I started to stand (using the door as a prop up stand for me) when the oak door swung open causing me to fall backwards like a turtle.

"Sorry!" E stared down at me with her gorgeous eyes. I haven't seen her all day, her hair was tapped nicely in a bun and she wore a turtleneck sweater, it was a lavender purple, she also wore a pare of blue skinny jeans with holes in the knees. Her ears shine from a pare of earrings. So sparkly.

It was probably just me but her eyes were brighter than normal. So was her markings on her head and chest.

"It's fine, your tattoos are glowing."

She cocks her head at me, "I don't have tattoos."

"Then what's on your chest and head?" I pointed up from the floor. She looks at her chest for a second and walks away from me to a mirror.

"Those are my birth marks not Tattoos."
